This point is described in Catastrophe-Theory in terms of Topological-Surfaces conceived to exist in Multi- Dimensional-Spaces. Falling off of a High-Cliff is far more destructive and less creative; than walking around the end of the cliff across smooth ground which gradually descends from the high altitudes to the lower altitudes. It is creative to discover such gradual transitions between places of High-Potential-Energy and laces of Low- Potential-Energy; and Vice-Versa. Exploding Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs is a more destructive way of releasing the High-Concentrations of Potential-Energy stored in the Bombs' Core-Materials than to gradually release such High-Concentrations of Nuclear- Potential-Energy in Fission-and-Fusion Nuclear-Reactors. That is an extreme under-statement! The process of Truly-Resolving-Human-Conflicts- Humanely is in a similar way the process of finding and facilitating ways of Making-Gradual-Transitions between what appear to be Irreconcilable-Dichotomous-Positions in regard to Mutually-Complementary: 1. Ideals, 2. Values, 3. Principles, 4. Visions, 5. Dreams, 6. Hopes, 7. Goals, 8. Desires, 9. Demands, 10. Commands, 11. Prescriptions, 12. Proscriptions, 13. Scriptures, 14. Scripts, 15. Fundamentals, 16. Doctrines, 17. Rituals, 18. Religions, 19. Paradigms, 20. Sciences, 21. Philosophies, 22. Theologies, 23. Humane-Institutions, 24. Inhumane-Institutions, 25. Forts, 26. Fortresses, 27. Sanctuaries, 28. Families, 29. Tribes, 30. Cities, 31. Counties, 32. Provinces, 33. States, 34. Communities, 35. Nations, 36. Corporations, 37. Multi-National-Corporations, 38. Military-Industrial-Complexes, 39. Extremists, 40. Terrorist-Cells, 41. Armies, 42. Navies, 43. Air-Forces, 44. Missile-Systems, 45. Systems-of-Mutually-Assured-Destruction, 46. Systems-of-Mutual-Cooperation, 47. Systems-of-Building-Mutual-Sanctuaries. The processes of Humane-Growth are most creative when they are Gradual-Processes of Resolving-Inhumane-Conflicts in Humane-Non-Violent-Ways and Humane-Non-Coercive-Ways. Shalom is The-Way of thus being Creative-in-Cooperative- Ways. The processes of Inhumane-Growth are most destructive when they are Catastrophic-Processes wherein isolated/alienated individuals each try to Get-Their-Own- "Superior"-Way through Unilateral-Demands-and-Actions. Dichotomous-People rarely cooperate. Dichotomous-People often: make demands, issue- commands, write-prescriptive-scriptures, interpret- scriptures-prescript ively, and focus-upon-mandatory- formalities. Dichotomous-People often focus our attentions upon: Negations, Negatives, Contradictions, Conflicts, Denigrations, Dichotomies, Opposites, Battles, Contests, Attacks, Defenses, Winning, Losing, Evil-People, Devils, Enemies, Imperfections, Impurities, Faults, Guilt, Shame, Classes, Minorities, Majorities, Coalitions, Forts, Fortresses, etc. Dichotomous-People lead individuals and communities into disintegrative-processes-and-practices which create: misunderstandings, confusion, chaos, aliens, alienation, enemies, informal-terrorists, official-terrorists, armies, navies, air-forces, "security-systems" and prepare mutually-assured-destruction-systems of nuclear-weapons. ----- True-Lovers move gradually and smoothly with each other in Diverse-Cooperative-Ways to lead individuals and communities in the WAY-OF-SHALOM which integrates diverse ways into THE-ONE-WAY-OF-SHALOM. True-Lovers gradually facilitate and promote diverse forms of integrities in the integrative-ways of SHALOM. True-Lovers give-birth to creative children whom they help to grow-gradually through smooth-transitions between patterns-of-conflict into patterns-of-cooperation which involve many Integrative-Stages-of-Growth. True-Lovers gather together in small groups of two, three and more; guided by Holy-Spirit to grow-out-of Dichotomous-Patterns-of-Exclusivity. They cooperate in Resisting-Non-Violently all Domination-by-The-Domination- System of The-Fallen-Powers-That-Be which was described by Walter Wink in his book "The Powers-That-Be". True-Lovers Take-Heart-and-Spirit from the stories told in the book and video-series under the overall title of "A FORCE MORE POWERFUL". Shalom is The-Way (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
