To the extent that we let others declare particular: questions, assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, topics, experiences, pleasures, fears, anxieties, priorities, etc. --- to be beyond the range of permitted Open-and-Honest-Dialogue --- To that extent we are imprisoned by: Domineering-Bullies, Mobbing-Mobsters, Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception and related other Tragic-Realities. Such: Taboos, Inhibitions, Suppressions and Repressions ENSLAVE US, even if we are complicit in creating and clinging to them as effective means to: Security, Wealth, Power, Safety, etc. Domineering-Bullies have sometimes claimed to: know, poses and have control over transcendent hidden knowledge, which they will reveal only to submissive-people who trust, honor and revere the Domineering-Bullies --- who teach their followers not-to-trust their-own-experiences; thereby making their followers more vulnerable to their profitable domination! Be suspicious of any people who claim to have any of the following to offer to you: 1. ABSOLUTE-TRUTH, 2. Exclusive-TRUTH or Truths, 3. Hidden-TRUTH or Truths, 4. Experience-Transcendent Truths, 5. PERFECT-TRUTH or Truths, 6. PURE-TRUTH or Truths, 7. PURIFIED-TRUTH or Truths - - - for such people are likely to be Domineering-Bullies and/or share many traits with Domineering- Bullies - - - who want their Follower-Victims to trust them without: doubt, question, thinking, or respect for their own personal experiences - - - in the absence of all open-and-honest- Dialogues with any other people - - - about their own personal experiences. They may demand that their Follower-Victims be totally alienated from other people! Such people merit no trust!
