    In changing times/climates we need to explore new ways
of framing-and-responding to questions which are timely.

    Which of the items in the Single-Column below point to
Disintegrative versus Integrative realities ---  which are
present within our lives and communities?

                   Desires,
                   Hopes,
                   Expectations,
                   Demands,
                   Commands,
                   Plans,
                   Fears,
                   Anxieties
                   Assumptions,
                   Attitudes,
                   Habits,
                   Traditions,
                   Doctrines,
                   Rituals,
                   Interpretations,
                   Perceptions,
                   Perspective,
                   Paradigms,
                   Anticipations,
                   Predictions, etc.

    How   are  we  to  discern-helpfully  when  each   the
realities  suggested above are Integrative ---   and  when
each   is   Dis-Integrative?    Case-by-case?     Usually?
Occasionally --- without discernible pattern?
