    To  the extent that a person,  family,   neighborhood,
village,   city,   county,  state,   nation,   profession,
corporation,   organization,   etc.   has  integrity   and
coherence  --- we may talk about its: soul, spirit, angel,
etc.     The  latter  terms point to the  essence  of  its
integrity  as  regards its core aspects and how  they  are
inter-related.

     The  particular  acts  and  behaviors  of  a  person,
family,   neighborhood,  village,  city,  county,   state,
ntation,  profession, corporation, organization, etc.  may
not coherently represent its:  soul,  spirit, angel,  etc.
--- fully, clearly, accurately, etc.   ---  because of how
its  external:   environment,   community,   and  cultural
contexts are not supportive of its own internal integrity.

     There  may  be residual conflicts and tensions across
the boarders/boundaries of what  is  interior  and what is
exterior.       Incoherence   may   flow   from   internal
incoherence;    from  an  internal  lack   of   integrity.
Incoherence  may also flow from any external  incoherence;
from   an   external  lack  of   integritiy   within   the
environment,   the  extended-community,   and the cultural
contexts, etc.

     The  challenge  which we all have is to  improve  the
degrees  of  coherence/integrity within our  beings:   our
souls,  spirits, angels, principalities, powers, etc.  ---
and  to improve the degrees of coherence/integrity  across
the boundaries between what is to us internal, and what is
to  us external to our being who we are.   We cannot truly
meet and fulfill the challenge in the ways of domineering,
coercive,   demanding,  commanding,  and  violent  people,
families,   neighborhoods,  villages,  cities,   counties,
states,      ntations,     professions,      corporations,
organizations,  etc. --- because such ways demonstrate the
incoherence which exists within each such reality  and the
souls,  spirits, angels, principalities, powers, which are
at their core.

     We  need to constantly remind ourselves that what  we
say  about our souls,  spirits,  angels,   principalities,
powers, etc. is not free of our own prejudices, biases and
special  interests  ---   even when we are  most  sincere.
Nothing  we can say can contain/control the  realities  to
which  we  point.   Most of what is most important  to  us
cannot  be represented through truly objective statements.
Most of  what  is most important to us can be  pointed  to
most  meaningfully  with  reflexive statements  which  are
clearly  not  objective ---  by their very nature.   It is
tragicly  misleading  to  try to  achieve  objectivity  in
offering  our most   important  and  meaningful  reflexive
statements,  affirmations and descriptions of what we have
experienced.    No such efforts can control,  dominate  or
otherwise manage that to which we point reflexively.
