That "Violence" and its "Associations" such as "Coercion", "Threats", "Fear", "Anxiety", and "Alienation" --- can be "Properly-Used" to "Achieve" what are presumed to be "Good-Things". 2. That for the "Bargain" to "Pay-off" we must "Make-Ready" to "Hold-up" our end of the "Bargain" and to "Meekly-accept-the-costs-to-ourselves-and-our-Loved-Ones". Otherwise we cannot properly expect "Redemptive-Violence" to "Work" for us. 3. "The-Myth" presumably "Represents" the "Ultimate- Nature-of-The-Cosmos" --- in describing "Just-How" "The- Cosmos" will respond redemptively-for-us "To-All-of-Our- Choices"; i.e., to: Our-Ultimate-Concerns, Our-Compulsive-Preoccupations, Our-Coercive-Threats, Our-Prayers-and-Plays, Our-Violent-Actions, Our-Excommunications, Our-Alienations, Our-Destructions, Our-Disintegrations, Our-Associates, Our-Labeled-Enemies, Our-Creations-of-Enemies, Our-Creations-of-Evil-Relationships, Our-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. Our-Confusions about Virtues and Vices. Our-Confusions about Who-is-Good & Who-is-Evil. Our-Confusions about when-WE-are-NOT-IN-CONTROL. Our-Confusions about how to heal Our-Alienations.
