Begin, 2. Are-Initiated, 3. Get-Started, 4. Evolve, 5. Are-Modified, 6. Are-Tightened, 7. Are-Made-More-Exclusive, 8. Otherwise-Change? According to the Always-Tacit Rules-of-Collusive-Games-of- Mutual-Self-Deception --- all of the above questions are Improper-Questions; TABOO, not to be Acknowledged-or- Talked-About. True-Lovers can still wonder about the Above-Questions --- during times of Prayer and times of Meditation. It seems unlikely that True-Lovers would be motivated to take the Primary-Initiatives to: 1. Begin, 2. Initiate, 3. Start, 4. Evolve into Deepening-Levels, 5. Modify into More-Violent-Levels, 6. Tighten into more Alienative-Levels, 7. Become-More-Exclusive Colluders, 8. Otherwise Become-More-Dominant -- in Collusive Games. It seems More-Likely that True-Lovers would work to REVERSE-the-PROCESSES whereby Collusive-Games-of-Mutual- Self-Deception are: 1. Begun, Initiated, Started; 2. Evolved, Deepened, Enforced, Progressed; 3. Made-More Alienative-Exclusive-Permanent-Profitable; 4. More Hidden, Tacit, Hidden, Masked, Honorable, Nice; 5. More Concentrated, Irreversible, Effective, Good; 6. More-Dominant, Violent, Destructive, Disintegrative. REVERSING-the-PROCESS is likely to involve the following: 1. Affirming-and-Demonstrating Essential-Virtues which Domineering-Bullies have the most difficulty in violating because Essential-Virtues Stand-on-their-own-Merits most securely. 2. Affirming-and-Clarifying how Mutually-Complementary- Virtues can be combined with Insecure-Virtues to form Essential-Clusters-of-Virtues which are Robust-as-Clusters --- which can as Essential-Clusters-of-Virtues --- in Non- Violent and Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom RESIST the efforts of Domineering-Bullies to Pervert-and-Abuse those Insecure- Virtues which cannot Stand-on-their-Own as Essential- Virtues. 3. True-Lovers-are-Likely to Do the above in many Tacit, Implicit and Subtle ways of Being-Together --- in the Mutually-Complementary-Ways-of-Shalom --- at each stage that Domineering-Bullies are Augmenting-Alienation --- by Deepening-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. True- Lovers Reverse-the-Processes of Alienation-and- Disintegration. 4. True-Lovers are not-likely to FOCUS-ALL of their efforts upon MAJOR-BATTLES, MAJOR-THREATS, FEW-ULTIMATE- CONCERNS, FEW-ABSOLUTE-TRUTHS, ULTIMATE-UNILATERAl- ACTIONS, ABSOLUTE POWERS, OMNIPOTENCE, OMNISCIENCE, etc. 5. While Domineering-Bullies are often OVERT, BRUTAL and VIOLENT; True-Lovers Are-Effective by being subtle, tacit, and indirect --- in ways which will NOT-Heighten the Concerns-and-Defenses of Domineering-Bullies. 6. True-Lovers are effective through careful discernment about how to Graciously-Reverse the Little-Steps at each Little-Step which augments: The-Domination-Systems, Violence, Coercion, Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self- Deception, Alienation, Defensiveness, Distractions, Business, Un-Just-Concentrations-of-Wealth, Un-Just- Concentrations-of-Power, etc. Be-Together in the Many-Gracious Ways of Shalom.
