      There   are  diverse,   yet  "mutually  supportive",
patterns of attitudes, beliefs,  convictions and behaviors
which lead people into  deepening  traps  of:  alienation,
estrangement, and evil relationships.  To escape from such
deepening traps  we  need  to  recognize the traps,  their
differences and their similarities.

      1.  Each-Trap entails negative-feed-back-loops which
work to  deepen  the  trap in what many  scientists call a
"positive-feed-back-loop" --- because each such feed-back-
loop works to augment conditions which are-  present.  (To
such  scientists  a negative-feed-back-loop is  one  which
works to  mitigate the conditions which are-present.)   To
such   scientists  the  word  "positive"   and  the   word
"negative"   are associated respectively with  "growth-of-
the-condition"   and "mitigation-of-the-condition"; rather
than with any inherent positive-aspect, or negative-aspect
of the condition.

      2.  Each-Trap is hard-to-recognize, in part  because
of  the  above linguistic-confusion  associated  with  the
nature-of-the-feed-back-effect  and/or  the   desirability
and/or the offensive-aspect of the effect.

      3.  Each-Trap is hard-to-recognize as such,  because
there  are  often  many traditional patterns of  respected
thoughts  which encourage dysfunctional/dishonest sorts of
"Systems-Analysis"   --- that systematically-mis-represent
what-is-good-and what-is-evil;  what is  true-and-what-is-
false; e.g., collusions, addictions and codependencies.

      4.  Each-Trap  is  hard-to-recognize, because power-
coalitions concentrate-power-without-limits and so promote
corruption-without-limit ---  in ways which obscure  what-
is-good-and what-is-evil;  what is true-and-what-is-false;
i.e., collusions, addictions and codependencies.

      5.  Each-Trap  is hard-to-recognize, because  of the
tension between: (a) individual human's efforts to protect
themselves  and  their own  welfare  greedily-as-isolated-
individuals  ---    and  (b) individual   human's   wiser-
recognitions   that   ultimately   security   resides   in
cooperative-humane-    behavior-patterns   which   entail:
generosity,   sharing,   giving,   accepting,   receiving,
hospitality,   civility, kindness,   and  open-and-honest-
intimacies     entailing       complexly-managed-risks-of-
vulnerability within safe-sanctuaries-for-all-to-enjoy.

      6.  Each-Trap  is hard-to-recognize,  because  Each-
Trap entails tacit,  implicit and  hidden support for much
that  is entailed in Each-Other-Trap; i.e.,  there-are-no-
clear- boundaries  between  Traps.    The traps are as  it
were,   Black-Holes-without-boundaries-between-them.   (In
reality the latter is a physical impossibility.)

      7.  To  say  that "There are diverse,  yet  mutually
supportive, patterns of  attitudes,  beliefs,  convictions
and behaviors which lead people  into  deepening traps of:
alienation,  estrangement, and evil relationships."  IS TO
SAY SOMETHING WHICH SEEMS LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ---  and so
it  seems impossible for there to  be  "Diverse-Traps"  as
suggested.

      8.  Each-Trap is hard-to-recognize ---  because  ---
to recognize any such trap  is  to  violate  the Ultimate-
Concerns-and-Commandments of "The Domination System"  with
its "Multi-National-Military-Industrial-Complex" ---  that
is   thoughtlessly  promoted   by   its   many  religious,
scientific, mythological, and cosmological "believers" and
"supporters".

      9.  Each-Trap is hard-to-recognize ---  because many
of  the "Good-Laws"  which promote the stability of  "Law-
and-Order"  are tied up in the  Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-
Self-Deception  related to:   women-and-children-regarded-
as-property-for-men-to-manage, sexual-slavery, minorities-
as-slaves,     blacks-as-slaves,     priests-as-superiors,
scholars-as-superiors,    texts-as-superior,   scripts-as-
superior, scriptures-as-ultimate-authorities,   religious-
institutions-as-ultimate-authorities,  property-owners-as-
superiors,     capitalism-as-superior,     objectivity-as-
superior, science-as-superior,    and   domination-as-the-
means-to-superiority.

      The factors which  often make Each-Trap hard do deal
with usually  interfere with open,   honest,   and  clear:
communications,  thinking,  analysis, memory, integration,
etc.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
