     When we do  not  recognize the real  cause of our own
profound  fears,  we may rationalize our profound fears to
"explain"  why they are "legitimate".   The real cause  of
our  profound  fears  may be pointed to  by  some  of  the
following:

     1.  Forgotten threats by fearful and powerful people.
     2.  Buried in forgotten childhood insecurities.
     3.  Buried in ignorance, prejudice and ignorance.
     4.  Due to chaotic family relationships.
     5.  Due to the chaos of war.
     6.  Due to addictive/codependent parents.
     7.  The fruits of dichotomous religious teachings.
     8.  The fruits of religious versus scientific views.
     9.  The fruits of clashes between cultures.
    10.  Unresolved conflicts between high ideals.

     So  long as the real causes of our profound fears are
not recognized and honestly confronted; there is likely to
be a profound need to rationalize our profound fears.  The
rationalization may involve myths telling how:

 1.  Evil and chaos originated in the cosmic creation.
 2.  To overcome evil and chaos via redemptive-violence.
 3.  Proper conformity will eliminate evil & chaos.
 4.  To concentrate good-powers to overcome evil & chaos.
 5.  To recognize/distinguish evil-people vs good-people.
 6.  To set up hierarchies to control evil and chaos.
 7.  Conflicts between good-order and evil-chaos will end.
 8.  To properly read handbooks about eliminating evil.
 9.  Holy books are to be rightly interpreted and abused.
10.  To transcend human limits, impotence and ignorance.

     Rationalizations  are  not  likely  to  offer helpful
guidance about how to:

 1.  Transcend/heal human alienations/excommunications.
 2.  Facilitate/promote open-balanced-honest dialogue.
 3.  Resist disintegrative tendancies without-violence.
 4.  Resist evil and mitigate the consequences of chaos.
 5.  Focus upon evil-relationships, not upon evil-people.
 6.  Avoid projecting our evil-relationships away from us.
 7.  Mitigate arrogance, self-righteousness and ignorance.
 8.  Mitigate the costs of feeling better, superior, best.
 9.  Integrate complementary truths, paradigms & beliefs.
10.  Transcend dichotomies, polarizations & exclusivities.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
