      Domineering people often claim:

      1.  It  is  safer to trust the collective wisdom  of
a large  group,  than   the wisdom/prudence  of a creative
individual.  (The reverse is claimed by True-Lovers.)

      2.  It  is  safer to trust the wisdom/prudence of  a
refined legal-system-of-laws,  than the wisdom/prudence of
True-Lovers.  (The reverse is claimed by True-Lovers.)

      Claims,   and the reverse of such claims, often  are
perverted  by dichotomous-thinking;  i.e.,  coercion  into
either/or   questions and either/or answers  where  honest
people are never permitted  to  respond  to  the  original
questioner  and question in ways which question:

        the INTEGRITY of the question and/or questioner,
        the ASSUMPTIONS of the question and/or questioner,
        the ATTITUDES of the question and/or questioner,
        the MOTIVATIONS of the question and/or questioner,
        the AUTHORITY of the question and/or questioner,
        the POWER of the question and/or questioner,
        the COLLUSIONS of the question and/or questioner,
        the EXCLUSIONS of the question and/or questioner,
        etc.

      Usually  wisdom  and prudence  entail  COMPLEMENTARY
considerations which are EXCLUDED by dichotomous QUESTIONS
and QUESTIONERS.

      DICHOTOMOUS  questions  and questioners  often  lack
INTEGRITY   because   of  the  tacit/hidden:  ASSUMPTIONS,
ATTITUDES,   MOTIVATIONS,   AUTHORITY,  FALLEN-POWERS  and
COLLUSIONS  ---   which    are seen for what they  are  by
systematic considerations by AUTHENTIC  SYSTEMS-ANALYSISTS
---   who  are dedicated to honestly considering all parts
of and to the whole  of the   whole  system  of  complexly
interacting  parts  and aspects.

      DOMINEERING  AND DICHOTOMOUS people  often  seek  to
exclude  from consideration some essential  foundations of
both  personal and communal integrities  and  integrations
--- in order to facilitate greater domination and control.

      Domination/control  of  the process  of  discernment
does not promote either personal integrity/integrations or
communal  integrity/integrations.   No one ideal-form  can
wisely/prudently be allowed to be DOMINANT or GOD within a
CONFORMAL-SYSTEM  in  the absence of True-Lovers  who  are
excluded from the process of discernment.

      Domineering and dichotomous people often  manipulate
"things" for reasons of selfish-gain:

      1.  Belief/trust in magical spirits and powers.
      2.  Dis-belief/dis-trust in scientific descriptions.
      3.  The concentration of Fallen-Powers-That-Be.
      4.  The exclusion of vulnerable/powerless peoples.
      5.  The exclusion of vulnerable/powerless ideals.
      6.  The exclusion of vulnerable/powerless values.
      7.  The exclusion of vulnerable/powerless beings.
      8.  The exclusion of vulnerable/powerless visions.
      9.  Trust in ancient traditions/authorities.
     10.  Dis-belief/distrust in our own experiences now.

      We cannot be wise and/or prudent without in some way
transcending  the  dis-integrative  processes  pointed  to
above and confirmed by our own experiences as we encounter
"The Fallen Powers That Be" in our own diverse lives.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
