     Is CHAOS more meaningfully and successfullly overcome
through   integrations   and  integrities;    or   through
unilateral orders  and  the  imposition of order upon that
which is disorderly and rebelious?

     Are CHAOS and dis-orderlyness the essence of EVIL?

     Can  EVIL  be most meaningfully and  successfully  be
overcome   and/or-eliminated   through    reconciliations,
confilct-resolutions, dialogue, being-together-in-Love; OR
through   the   impositions  of  unilateral   ORDERS   and
ORDERLNESS  upon  whatever/whoever is found to be  out-of-
order,   different,  not-in-conformity, not-obedient, not-
proper, not-perfect, not-in-ideal-form?

     Is  EVIL  found  in  our-own-incoherent-relationships
within-and-among-us;    OR  is EVIL found outside-of-us in
the CHAOS which is outside-of-us and  which we find-to-be-
threatening to-us as isolated-individuals?

     --------------------------------------------------

     The  ways  in which we try to mitigate and/or try  to
eliminate EVIL depend in profound ways upon:

1.  The ways we ask questions about our own CHAOS & EVIL.

2.  How we relate CHAOS and EVIL within our experiences.

3.  How CHAOS and EVIL are related to each other in us.

4.  How we experience EVIL and CHAOS in our relationships.

5.  How we define EVIL and CHAOS together with others.

6.  How we analyze EVIL and CHAOS together with others.

7.  Where we find, recognize and discover EVIL and CHAOS.

8.  What we perceive to the the orgins of EVIL and CHAOS.

9.  What we expect to be the destinies of EVIL and CHAOS.

10.  What we expect to be the ends of EVIL and CHAOS.

     In the light of the above considerations --- read and
consider the descriptions of Walter Wink in chapter two of
his  book  "The  Powers That Be".    Many  new  liberating
insights  and  revelations  may flow from such  thoughtful
considerations! The original explanatory-myth involves the
original  GODS'  conflicts,  violence,  murders,   sexual-
relationships,  absuses,  and creations of humans and  the
cosmos  OUT  OF  THE  REMAINS  OF their  CHAOS  and  EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS.   Such was their description of the origins
of our EVIL, CHAOS and EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS --- all embedded
in  OUR-CREATIONS.    What  might a  more  liberating  and
integrative myth be, and become?

     We may find that we cannot truly find EVIL outside of
our  relationships  and thereby find  ourselves  innocent,
not-guilty,  and free-of-chaos.  However, we may find that
we can mitigate  EVIL  and  maybe  even  eliminate EVIL by
focusing upon EVIL as  residing only within our alienative
and disintegrative relationships  ---   and  work together
cooperatively to  achieve:  reconciliation,   cooperation,
colaboration  and  mutual-understanding  --- regarding the
ways we can  mitigate  our alienations,  excommunications,
estrangements,  distrust, resentments, retributions,  etc.

     So  long   as   our   relationships   are  disorderly
relationships  --- we  will  suffer   within   our   EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS and within the  CHAOS  which  flows from our
DISORDERLY and EVIL RELATIONSHIPS.

     It is far more likely that we will find  meaning  and
fulfillment  working  together in cooperative  efforts  to
achieve:    reconciliation,   cooperation,   colaboration,
mutual-understanding,       friendships,       intimacies,
integrations  and  integrities  ---  THAN in trying to  be
dominant  and/or in control of each other  as  contentious
competators who are alienated from each other!

     The  myths and methods of systems-analysis  which  we
honor  make  huge differences in what kinds  of  lives  we
live.    We  need to cooperate  in  working  diligently to
discern the consequences of our showing honor, respect and
support  for our leading myths  and  methods  of  systems-
analysis  --- as regards our traditional ultimate concerns
and  preoccupations.    Often the consequences are  tragic
beyond our understanding.  We need to be aware of them and
beware of ignoring the consequences.

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