     Different-People    seek    "Safety",     "Security",
"Comfort",   "Invulnerability",   "Stability",   etc.   in
Different-Ways:

 1.  Orthodoxy,
 2.  Conformity,
 3.  Long-Standing-Traditions,
 4.  Long-Standing-Personal-Habits,
 5.  Long-Standing-Addictions,
 6.  Reliable-Codependent-Supporters,
 7.  Formalities-and-Rituals,
 8.  Crowds-of-Like-Minded-Peoples,
 9.  Exclusive-Clubs of Successful-People,
10.  Mono-Cultured-People.

     The   above   paradigms  of   "Safety",   "Security",
"Comfort",  "Invulnerability", "Stability",  etc.  are not
likely   to  endure  through  periods   of  uncontrollable
environmental changes in NEW-TIMES of NEW-NON-Traditional:

 1.  Terrorism,
 2.  Wars,
 3.  Cultural-Revolutions,
 4.  Scientific-Revolutions,
 5.  Industrial-Revolutions,
 6.  Information-Revolutions,
 7.  Key-Resource-Exhaustion,
 8.  Unsustainable-Population-Explosions,
 9.  Exhaustion-of-Limited-Fossil-Fuel-Supplies,
10.  Exhaustion-of-Limited-Clean-Water-Supplies.
11.  Deadly-Pollution of All-Available-Air-and-Water.
12.  Exponential-Growth of Garbage and Confusion.
13.  Exponential-Growth of Violence-Contentiousness.
14.  Exponential-Growth of Domineering-People.

     The   above   paradigms  of   "Safety",   "Security",
"Comfort",  "Invulnerability", "Stability",  etc.  are not
likely to  endure ---  through  periods  of uncontrollable
environmental  changes in NEW-TIMES of NEW-NON-Traditional
revolutions --- and will give  way to  the  more  profound
Gracious-Ways  of  Shalom ---  or there will be  unlimited
destruction   and  dis-integration  ---   with  very   few
survivors with any personal or communal integrity.

    Robustness  and Endurance  of  Persons-And-Communities
will  become possible only as people who  embody-incarnate
contrasting perspectives of real:  "Safety",   "Security",
"Comfort", "Invulnerability", "Stability", etc. ---  learn
to understand and cooperate with each other in integrative
and  growing  ways  ---  which do not  make  them  totally
vulnerable  to  each other ---  prematurely  without  true
mutual understanding.

    True  understanding and integration can be based  upon
gradually  transcending the mutually-exclusive aspects  of
each  other's  most trusted paradigms ---   and  gradually
letting  down  wise  and prudent defenses ---   which  are
regrettably   alienative   in   some   of   their   tragic

consequences.    Prematurely letting go of all defenses is
as unwise and  imprudent  as  is  putting  total  trust in
carefully crafted defenses that are perpetually unilateral
and alienative;  because  they fail  to  seek to transcend
unilateral and alienative technologies.

    Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.

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