     All  meanings are dependent upon the contexts  within
which the meanings are apprehended.

     All  communications depend upon the contexts defined-
in-fact   by  the   relationships-between-originators-and-
apprehenders of meanings; where the relationships include:
overt/explicit/articulated,       formal,        informal,
tacit/implicit/unarticulated,   behavioral,   interactive,
etc.

     No meaningful-communication is  dependent  ONLY  upon
SYMBOLS used to  convey-meaning from the originator to the
apprehender of the meaning-as-actually-received.

     The  SYMBOLS used to convey-meaning include,  but are
not limited to:

     1.  Verbalized sounds,  words, phrases,  statements,
questions, objections,  yells, notes, etc. AND personal or
communal --- actions, behaviors, habits, etc.

     2.  Traditional-Rituals: greetings, welcomes, social-
graces, introductions, departures, letting-go, etc.

     3.  Formal-Procedures  in personal  and/or  corporate
meetings.

     4.  Formal-Agreements  as in:  Contracts,  Covenants,
Compacts, Bondings, Bindings, Marriages, Unions, etc.

     5.  What is:  ABSENT,  left-out, ignored,  neglected,
excommunicated,   excluded,  etc.  ---  including  people,
relationships,  possessions,  desires,  hopes,   feelings,
emotions,  expectations,  yearnings,  behaviors,  actions,
rites,   rituals,  etc.  These to are SYMBOLS which  often
powerfully convey meanings that are received in ways which
influence human perceptions and behaviors just as do  what
is more evidently PRESENT.

     6.  Whatever    is   systematically    ABSENT    from
conversations within particular contexts ---  compared  to
what   is   systematically  PRESENT  in   fulfillment   of
traditional/dominant expectations.

     In   the  presence  of  difficulties  with   confused
communications  and/or absent communications ---  it  will
NOT  be helpful to focus in  any  EXCLUSIVE  way  upon any
small    FRACTION   of   the:  intentions,   discernments,
receptions, articulations, symbols, participants, contexts
or discerned-meanings.

     Discerned meanings depend upon the following kinds of
contextual circumstances having to do with expectations:

     1.  An indirect communication was expected
     2.  Communication via sarcasm was expected.
     3.  Communication via indirection was expected.
     4.  Communication via innuendo was expected.
     5.  A communication of subservience was expected.
     6.  An objective scientific statement was expected.
     7.  A poetic observation was expected.
     8.  Tacit hints were expected.
     9.  Tacit demands were expected.
    10.  Helpful authenticity was definitely not expected.

     In the presence of  some particular kinds of personal
expectations  it  may  be  impossible  for  a  person   to
communicate  in  a  way which will engender  any  kind  of
satisfaction  for  anybody.    Those entrapped  in  such a
context may find  that it is impossible to recognize their
context  without help from people they  trust who are  not
trapped  within their context.   However,  people who  are
trapped  within  such a  context  are  unlikely  to  trust
anybody  who is not trapped within their particular  kind
of context.   Only through some miraculous transition will
communication become possible for them.

     The  above  kind of tragic-trap  is  more  likely  to
imprison Domineering-People than True-Lovers.

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