They claim that Security can be achieved Unilaterally by responding to Occasions-of- Vulnerability in Unilateral-Attempts-to-be- Invulnerable ---In-Proportion to the Degrees-of- Vulnerability. Their Simplistic-Assumptions-Attitudes- and-Convictions lead us toward Toward-Tragic-Patterns of: Alienation Estrangement Excommunications Exclusivity Arrogance Self-Righteousness Coercion Violence Domination-Systems Dishonesty Pretense Collusive-Game of MSD Power-Coalitions Wealth-Coalitions Concentrating-Wealth Good-Coalitions Moral-Coalitions Ethical-Wealth Goods Contests Moral-Contests Ethical-Contests Having-Luxuries Extreme-Wealth Extreme-Luxuries Wasteful-Spending Wasteful-Abuses Wasteful-Consumption Making-Garbage Making-Confusion Entropy-Generation Making-Doubts Fear-Generations Anxiety-Generations Absolute-TRUTH Absolute-RIGHTS Absolute-NEEDS Absolute-EVIL Absolute-GOOD Evil-Relationships Polarizations Dichotomies Total-War Nuclear-Bombs Instant-Missiles Global-Nuclear-War Collusive-Games Addictive-Games Codependent-Supporters The above patterns are NOT part of Any-Coherent-System of Truly-Secure People-And-Communities Working-For the Common-Good. True-Lovers have knowledge of how Assuming-to-Know Who- is-Good and Who-is-Evil ties presumptuous, arrogant, and self-righteous Simplistic-Fools into Tragic-Knots; as described by R. D. Laing in his books "Knots" and "Self-and-Other. See chapter six in the latter entitled simply "Collusion" where he describes sophisticated Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception which are played in all parts of God's Finite-Space-Ship-Earth on its annual journeys around God's Finite-SUN --- that is not God --- even though in volume it is about 1,000,000 times bigger than God's Finite-Spaces-Ship- Earth. True-Lovers know from True-Authentic-Integrative- Experience that Personal-and-Communal Integrations- and-Integrities entail responding to Occasions-of- Vulnerability in the Many-Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom --- which entail NONE of the following as Dominants-Aspects - - but rather the MITIGATION of each of the following Aspects of Worlds-of-Alienative: Attitudes, Assumptions, Beliefs, Paradigms, Technologies, and Domination-Systems: Alienations Estrangements Excommunications Exclusivity Arrogance Self-Righteousness Coercion Violence Domination-Systems Dishonesty Pretense Collusive-Games of MSD Power-Coalitions Wealth-Coalitions Concentrating-Wealth Good-Coalitions Moral-Coalitions Ethical-Wealth Goods-Contests Moral-Contests Ethical-Contests Having-Luxuries Extreme-Wealth Extreme-Luxuries Wasteful-Spending Wasteful-Abuses Wasteful-Consumption Making-Garbage Making-Confusion Entropy-Generation Making-Doubts Fear-Generations Anxiety-Generations Absolute-TRUTH Absolute-RIGHTS Absolute-NEEDS Absolute-EVIL Absolute-GOOD Evil-Relationships Polarizations Dichotomies Total-War Nuclear-Bombs Instant-Missiles Global-Nuclear-War Collusive-Games Addictive-Games Codependent-Supporters True-Lovers do NOT-FOCUS in any way upon the above as means to Good-Ends. There are NO Good-Means to Peace! There is no Way-to-Peace! We need to Choose-Peace-as-the- Way in the Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom --- which entail demonstrations of risky: LOVE Intimacy Open-and-Honest-Dialogue Grace Generosity Distributive-Justice Hospitality Acceptance Working-for-Common-Goods Cooperations Colaborations Civility in Civilizations Reconciliation Forgiveness True-Conflict-Resolutions Peacemakers Confessions Prudent-and-Wise-Promises Authenticity Covenants Mutual-Balancing-Acts Integrations Integrities Speaking-Truth-to-Powers Sanctuaries Sexuality Being-Good-Neighbors Honesty Revelations Being-Creative-in-LOVE Be-Together in the Many-Gracious ways of Shalom.
