 %INTERNAL SENSE INTUITION COMMUNAL CONSENSUS CLEAR 070801

Each person, and bonded-group has developed to some extent
an internal sense of how they can have integrity;  perhaps
how they "should"  have integrity.  This sense is in  some
sense their: theory,  paradigm,  guide,  theology,  moral-
compass, conscience, science, moral-code, ethics, etc.

Each person, and bonded-group has to some extent fulfilled
and/or failed  to fulfill  its internal sense  of how they
can  have  integrity;  perhaps  how  they  "should"   have
integrity.   This  reality  of  partial fulfillment and/or
failure  to  fulfill  its  sense  of  how  they  can  have
integrity  ---   is disappointing  in  various ways to the
various   participants  ---   and   challenges   them   to
achieve a higher  level of integration/success  in various
ways.

There are various ways in which each bonded group seeks to
achieve  a higher level of integration --- in keeping with
their  various senses of how they can have integrity;  and
perhaps  their senses of how they "should" have integrity;
or "should" succeed to fulfill their "plan". These various
ways may entail:

DEMANDS          COMMANDS          EXPECTATIONS

LAWS             RULES             FORMALITIES

REQUIREMENTS     PROHIBITIONS      EXCOMMUNICATIONS

PRESCRIPTIONS    PROSCRIPTIONS     DESCRIPTIONS

PUNISHMENTS      JUDGES            JUDGEMENTS

PRISONS          CONSPIRACIES      COLLUSIONS

RITUALS          WORSHIP           WARS

CONSTITUTIONS    BY-LAWS           COURTS

COURTSHIPS       DOMINATION        SUGGESTIONS

TRUE-LOVERS      COMMANDERS        DEMANDERS

PEACEMAKERS      RECONCILIATIONS   HEALINGS

Participants   in   all of the above processes are  likely
to have  different  levels of satisfaction with their  own
and  each other's kinds of "performance";   and  different
sense  of  how  they can "help"   each  other  to  perform
"better".    And so the  cycle  of  interactions  can  and
will  go  around  and around.

How   well   the   above  cycles go  around   and   around
will    determine    how    well/healthy/integrated    the
participants  will  be-together.       The   ordering   of
key-words   below   is suggestive  of factors  that   will
be associated with  each other in such cycles.
