    How can we  become  aware  of whether  or  not  we are
committed to a Truly-Transcendent-Vocation --- rather than
trapped in some: Addiction, Collusive-Game-of-Mutual-Self-
Deception, Domination-System,  Military-Industrial-Complex
or  other  related  Tragically-Simplistic and  Misguiding-
Paradigm?

    In either case we may be:  Committed, Tenacious, Firm,
Determined,  Self-Confident,  With-Many-Friends,  Honored-
Leaders, Wealthy, Powerful, Well-Known, Initiators,  Team-
Players,  Cooperating-with-Others and apparently  Sincere.
Such   traits  do  not  discriminate  between  the   posed
contrasting circumstances we may be in.

    The following may be distinguishing characteristics:


    Honesty                  Pretentiousness
    Humility                 Arrogance
    Gentleness               Domination
    Kindness                 Violence
    Sympathy                 Insensitivity
    Empathy                  Indifference
    Hope                     Despair
    Shalom                   Depression
    Reconciliation           Contentiousness
    Healing                  Suppression
    Hospitality              Attacks
    Generosity               Greed

    However, we may not see ourselves clearly.

    We need to ask Different-Other-People how clearly they
    see us in terms of the above distinguishing  character
    traits.

    If we ask only Like-Other-People they may see us as we
    see ourselves; and we will learn nothing new.

    If our character traits are on the right above, we may
    not want to learn anything new.
