People who suffer from dichotomizations and alienations are unlikely to be able to recognize the countess ways in which all of the here-named disintegrative disorders interact with each other and undermine personal and communal integrations and integrities; making it impossible for the victims and perpetuators of Spiritual-Disorders to heal. Powerful-and-Dominant Religious-Leaders are among the Victims-and-Perpetuators of Spiritual-Disorders --- both inside-of and outside-of religious institutions wherever unrestrained-power has corrupted/disintegrated them. The central issues here are personal-and-communal integrations-and-integrities. All diseases are manifestations of personal-and-communal disintegrations and are intricately inter-related-with-each-other. No unilateral-or-isolated power-or-agency can cure diseases. Only well-integrated powers-and-agencies can cooperatively cure diseases by promoting-and-facilitating personal-and-communal integrations-and-integrities. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
