     Different-People have Different-Theories-of-Conflict-
Resolution.    Such  Theories may and  may-not  have  been
Confirmed-with-Integrity  in  terms of  real  Existential-
Experiences.

     Theories-of-Conflict-Resolution  deal with reflexive-
realities; not objective-realities.    Human-Conflicts are
Reflexive-Realities.

     Theories-of-Conflict-Resolution thus cannot  be about
objective-realities  and  so cannot be  confirmed  in  the
objective-ways   of   the   Objective-Sciences   such   as
astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.

     Further,      Theories-of-Conflict-Resolution     can
naturally  be  biased  by  Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-
Deception;   e.g.,   by trusting  the  Myth-of-Redemptive:
Violence,  Greed, Hubris,  Arrogance,  Self-Righteousness,
Power-Concentrations,  Wealth-Concentrations,  Unilateral-
Success and their Alienative-Relatives.

     The  Traditional-Theories-of-Conflict-Resolution  are
rarely  tested  by scholars who are really  interested  in
transcending  the  biases  and  prejudices  of  those  who
traditionally put their trust in the Traditional-Theories-
of-Conflict-Resolution.

     The Traditional-Theories-of-Conflict-Resolution often
assume the validity of statements such as those following:

     1.  There  are people who are  essentially/inherently
evil and beyond the possibility of any redemption.

     2.  There are things,  places, ideals, ideas,  images
and other "things" which are essentially/inherently evil.

     3.  There  are conflicts between the above and  those
things which are "Of-God".

     4.  There  are  conflicts which can be resolved  only
through the destruction/elimination of that which is evil.

     5.  In such conflicts it is important to choose to be
on   the   side  that  will  ultimately  win   through   a
preponderance of power; e.g., God's Side.

     6.  Sometimes it is essential to ask God to be on the
side you have already chosen to be on;  to assure that you
will be able to "Resolve-the-Conflict" with God's-Help.

     7.  Success in the above kinds of Conflict-Resolution
depends  upon having formed a  United-Coalition  of people
who are without-question "Loyal-to-the-Cause" of Conflict-
Resolution within the Framework-of-the-Above.

     There  are  True-Lovers  who daily  demonstrate  many
virtues  in many coherent ways;  including  the  following
virtues:

     1.  Personal & Communal Integrations & Integrities.

     2.  Honesty, Authenticity, Transparency, Openness.

     3.  Balance, Mutuality, Generosity, Hospitality.

     4.  Civility, Kindness, Tolerance, Consideration.

     5.  Empathy, Sympathy, Compassion, Reconciliation.

     6.  Creativity, Imagination, Vision, Discernment.

     7.  Insight, Understanding, Scholarship, Learning.

     Such True-Lovers will find little that they can agree
with in the preceding seven statements.

     Such   True-Lovers  often  find  ways  to   mitigate:
conflicts,  coercion,  domination, controls,  violence and
attempts  to  resolve-conflicts in keeping with the  first
seven statements.

     True-Lovers are Graciously-Together within Shalom!

     True-Lovers help others be Together within Shalom!

     Be Graciously-Together in LOVE within Shalom!

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