There are additional ways in which we as individuals and communities may relate to each other and to the above listed
reflexive/objective realities.

WE MAY FOCUS UPON:

 1. How we May-relate-to-them as Individual-Realities while We-relate-to-each-other    - - - As Individual-Persons.

 2. How we May-relate-to-them as Individual-Realities while We-relate-to-each-other    - - - Within Communal-Groups.

 3. How we May-relate-to-them as Inter-Related-Realities while We-relate-to-each-other  - - - As Individual-Persons.

 4. How we May-Relate-to-them as Inter-Related-Realities while We-relate-to-each-other - - - Within Communal-Groups. 

 5. The extent to which We-As-Individuals and as As-Communal-Groups are regularly, reliably and/or systemically involved
    in augmenting-or-mitigating Alienative-Conflicts and/or in: Reconciliations, Cooperations, Collaborations, Open-and-
    Honest-Dialogues, Hospitality, Heath-Care, Healing - - - Within-Individuals and/or Between/Among Individual/Groups.

 6. The extent to which outcomes of our above different kinds of relationships are reliably predictable in terms of 
    possible reliable descriptions of how the above listed Objective-and-Reflexive Realities-and-We --- are bound to be
    inter-related due-to-our-and-their-inherent inter-related-natures --- as is the case with many Objective-Inter-
    Relationships among Objective: electrons, protons, neutrons, photons, and different coherent combinations of them all
    --- interacting as composites called: nuclei, atoms, molecules, cells, viruses, bacteria, living-creatures and inanimate
    objects - - -  described by scientists of all kinds - - - in their written reports regarding the conclusions of their
    well disciplined: research, meditations, computations and open-and-honest-dialogues about their research and 
    their conclusions.

We and all of our relationships are demonstrating and affirming personal-and-communal Integrities-and-integration-processes
- - - to-the-extent-that there endure-wide-spread-patterns-of: admiration, affirmations and imitations - - - of us and our
relationships - - - among all of the Crew of God's Space-Ship-Earth - - - for continuing generations in the sustainable ways
of Shalom.
