     It  is not enough to choose a few  "proper"   ideals,
values, principles and virtues to affirm.

     We  also  need  to  choose  how  to  integrate  those
affirmations into  a coherent whole which will lead us and
encourage  us into coherent patterns of  integrations  and
integrities --- appropriate to us, our heritages, talents,
contexts,   etc.    No one patterns will fit  all  people,
contexts, and situations.   "Conformity" is not enough!

     It  is also essential that the pieces which we choose
to  affirm  can  fit  coherently  with  each  other.    If
domination,   dishonesty,  greed,  or like  realities  are
affirmed;   there  is  no way to  include  them  within  a
coherent pattern of integrations and integrities.

     It  is  also dangerous to make too much  of  concerns
which are essentially "diversionary"  and try to integrate
them   into  a  coherent  pattern  of   integrations   and
integrities;    including  them  may  be  a   subconscious
"spoiler"    in  support of  greed,   wealth-concentration
and/or power concentration.

     It  is also dangerous to ignore and/or be indifferent
toward  the needs of the most vulnerable members  of  your
community;   because the security of  the  community-as-a-
whole  is not-truly-greater than the security of its  most
vulnerable members.  Communal and personal integrities are
essentially-interdependent-all-the-way-around-the-whole.

     Coherent-patterns-of-integration thus depend upon the
whole-communal-context  of   all-members-of-the-community;
e.g.,   all members-of-the-crew of God's-Space-Ship-Earth.
All  are truly interdependent in the face of:   Exhausted-
Fuel-Supplies,   Augmented-Global-Warming,  Rising-Oceans,
Augmented-Hurricanes, Extremes-of-Climate-Shifts, etc.

     In one way or another way --- it is important that we
"make-sense"  of how we relate the various primary foci of
our attention.   If we have not intentionally "made-sense"
of  the  inter-relationships between our primary  foci  of
attention ---  we are probably not well integrated in  our
overall affirmations in words-and-deeds.  We are likely to
be incoherent.

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