     Conversions  from  one paradigm into  a  New-Paradigm
entail  risks.     Before yielding to  such  a conversion-
experience one needs to make a risk-assessment which takes
into account the following kinds of considerations:

     1.  How domineering are the local leaders of the New-
Paradigm?

     2.  Is  the  local-community  of the  New-Paradigm  a
Real-Sanctuary-Community  within  which  participants  are
Truly-Free   to   Participate-in-Balanced   ways    within
Mutually-Satisfying-Intimate-Relationships?

     3.  Are   participants  in  the  New-Paradigm  Truly-
Authentic-People;   or  are  they  Trapped-in-Patterns  of
Conformity which entail  High-Levels-of-Risk  which are as
symbols   of  their  High-Level-of-Commitment  to   their
Dominant-Paradigm --- needing an unbiased Risk-Assessment?

     4.  How  often  do  people  who  commit  to  The-New-
Paradigm   find  it  Disintegrative-and-Leave  it  in   an
Integrative-Way?

     5.  How  often  do  people  who  commit  to  The-New-
Paradigm dis-integrate therein --- more rapidly than those
who  remain  Outside-of-the-New-Paradigm and  disintegrate
outside-of-it?

     6.  How often do people who are committed to the New-
Paradigm admire those who disintegrate-therein?   Are such
Commitments-and-Disintegrations regarded as  honorable?

     7.  How Well-Integrated into the Wider-Community  are
the devotees of The-New-Paradigm?   Do a solid majority of
the people who live within-a-few-days-travel of each other
--- generally honor the devotees of the New-Paradigm?

     8.  How  do  the devotees of The-New-Paradigm  regard
their critics?   Is there open-and-honest dialogue between
them?

     9.  How coherent are the "virtues" which are  honored
by the devotees  of  the New-Paradigm.    Are any of their
"virtues" regarded as vices by many who live Healthy-Lives
within Health-Communities outside of the New-Paradigm?

    10.  Do  devotees  of  the  New-Paradigm intentionally
alienate themselves from people who leave (or threaten  to
leave) the New-Paradigm?  Do they play Collusive-Games-of-
Mutual-Self-Deception Within-The-New-Paradigm?

                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in
                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
