     It  has been said that you cannot serve two  masters,
but  that  is  not  the full story.   You  CAN  serve  two
Cooperative-Masters  who  seek  to  fulfill  complementary
purposes   in   integrative-collaborative-work  ---  while
including you in their work.

     It is  true that you cannot-with-integrity serve  two
Domineering-Masters who Refuse-to-Cooperate or to Resolve-
Conflicts in Coherent-and-Integrative ways. Under two such
masters  you are  dammed if you do,  and you are dammed if
you  don't.     We need to recognize whether or  not  that
dammed situation is our situation ---  and to learn how to
deal  with such a dammed  situation.   We are dammed if we
pretend that dealing with such a situation --- is a simple
thing to do with integrity.

     Masters  may be persons.   Masters may also take  the
form  of:  ideals,  values,  principles,  goals,  desires,
attitudes,  assumptions,  etc.  ---  which motivate and/or
guide  us  in powerful ways which we  do  not  consciously
understand.      We cannot serve two such masters if  they
are  mutually-exclusive  in  domineering-ways;   as   some
persons  are.    We can serve two or more such masters  if
they are mutually-complementary in integrative ways;   the
Way  of Shalom.    The Way of Shalom is not One-Exclusive-
Way.     The Way of Shalom is coherent,   integrative  and
healthy; NOT incoherent, destructive or dis-eased.

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
