It is the OVERWHELMING-COMBINATION of many FORMS-of- REVERSALS which we NEED-but-FEAR which DOMINATES-US; trapping, imprisoning, constraining and confusing US. We NEED-but-FEAR many forms of REVERSAL in order to BE-INTEGRATED through many FORMS-of-REPENTANCE; many FORMS-of-Re-Turning to The-Essential-Foundations of BOTH Personal-and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities. In-our-Confusion we are CERTAINLY: NOT-Interested-In, Indifferent-To, Fearful-Of, Aversion-Of, and Playing- Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception regarding --- The-Essential-Foundations of BOTH Personal-and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrations. We are CERTAIN that: 1. Salvation Resides-in-Simplicity; but LOVE and Real-Living is more COMPLEX than that CERTAINTY will acknowledge ------> so a REVERSAL-is-in-Order. 2. The Friends-whom-WE-have-chosen-to-be-with-US as The-Chosen-WE-within-US --- ARE the FEW whom OUR-god has chosen for Special-Favors --- NOW and/or LATER in the heaven which WE-within-US have not yet EXPERIENCED in any True-Way that WE-Really-Know-ALL-Together as The-Ways-of- SHALOM ------> so at least one Major-REVERSAL-is-in-Order. 3. We SHOULD-CLING to Our-Orders within OUR: Expectations, Commands, Demands, Prescriptions, Proscriptions, Prerequisites, Job-Descriptions, Scripts, Scriptures, Interpretations, Laws, Rituals, Doctrines, Orthodoxies, Conformations, Conformities, Formulas, Formalities, etc.; but they are the Bars-of-Our-Prisons which we need to Let-Go-Of and Walk-Away-From ---------> in Many-Clear-Reversals which will Liberate-US-From-Them. 4. What-We-in-Isolation as Independent-Individuals Within-US-in-Isolation are SUPERIOR, Better-than-Others who are inferiors ALL-around-US in the WAY-of-SHALOM which we cannot perceive, comprehend, understand or CONTROL ---- ---> so at least one Major-REVERSAL-is-in-order. 5. We have been SUCCESSFUL in concentrating major fractions of all available POWERS, WEALTH and RESOURCES within US so OUR-god will reward us with SECURITY, HONORS, INVULNERABILITY and REVERENCE --- but there is little truth in our CERTAINTY and ------> so at least one Major- REVERSAL-is-in-Order. 6. Our SECURITY and INVULNERABILITY are grounded in OUR-Laws-and-OUR-Orders --- BUT we are Playing-Collusive- Games of Mutual-Self-Deception and so OUR: Incoherence, Lack-of-Integrations, Lack-of-Integrities, and Simplistic- Ideals --- are keeping US tied-up within OUR Tragic- Prisons which we Must-NOT-Let-Go-Of ------> so at least one Major-Reversal-is-in-order. 7. Our Narrowly-Selected-Isolated-Truths are OUR- god's means-to-our-salvation -- but all the Complementary- Other-Truths which we have rejected and excluded --- are The-Essential-Foundations for US to Be-All-Together in the WAY-of-SHALOM which is More-Inclusive than we permit US to imagine, dream, envision, conceive, or Enjoy-All-Together; ------> so at least one Major-Reversal-is-in-order. ================================================= Our DILEMMA (not a Nice-Technical-Problem) in dealing with our needs for Major-Reversals = Major-forms-of- Repentance --- is that we are: Stuck = Boxed-In = ImPrisoned within OUR: Narrow, Exclusive, Provincial, Traditional, Historic, Scriptural, Honored, Revered, Sacred, Holy, Idolatrous --- Assumptions, Attitudes, Premises, "Thought"-Patterns, Reflexes, Convictions, Doctrines, Frames, Perspectives --- and Do-NOT-Dare-To: Turn-Around, Reverse, Repent or Reform in terms of our own Daily-Experiences-of: Alienation, Estrangement, Isolation, Excommunications, Rejections, Confusion, Disorientation, Desensitization, Indifference, Depression, Fear, Anxiety, etc. Wherever-and-Whenever the above realities have become Dominant-in-Our-Lives we cannot be in Open-and-Honest dialogue about Our-Dilemmas in Dealing-with- Contradictions between our Own-Experiences and whatever may have become our Traditionally-Trusted-Authorities. At some point we need to Deal-Honestly with those Ultimate- Contradictions --- else neither we nor our communities will enjoy and form of Coherence-or-Integrity. The Forms-of-Repentance which will be good for US- ALL-TOGETHER are far more Difficult-and-Complex --- than our Simplistic-Idealism Permits. We may need to Turn- Around, Repent, and Let-Go of our Simplistic-Idealism! Heaven-Forbid! We are utterly Inter-Dependent in Space-Ship-Earth which is but a tiny spec in the Whole-Cosmos. We must get along with each other with the Finite-Resources which are available to us within Space-Ship-Earth. Except for the Sunlight-Energy coming into Space-Ship-Earth there is very little which is accessible to meet our needs here within Space-Ship-Earth. Playing-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self- Deception about our limitations and limited resources will not effectively compensate for them! Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.
