**** COURSE KEYS

Some people and their identities can be well known and understood by knowing about 
their closest relationships with the most central/intimate people within their lives:

1. Their True-Lovers,
2. Their Inter-Dependent-Workers,
3. Their Alienated-Mortal-Enemies,
4. The Addicts and Codependent Supporters in their lives,
5. Their teachers and professors,
6. Their business associates, etc.

Such people's identities may be essentially linked and interdependent in both 
healthy and unhealthy ways; in well-intended and in perverse ways that are
often unknown to many others who are apparently "close" to them; because of the
TABOO aspects of their identities and relationships --- within the context of
pervasive Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception --- that define who and what
kinds of close relationships can be: Open, Honest, Honorable, Admired, Respected,
Imitated, Influential, Creative, etc.

The above hints at the difficulties which we encounter in trying to understand
how and why people respond to us as they do.  There may be many walls which prevent
us from becoming aware of the many motivating and inhibiting factors in their lives.

Often it is nearly impossible to obtain reliable information upon which to base any
reliable understanding of how and why they respond as they do.  This is why the
reality of "ALIENATION" plays such an important role in any efforts to help people
to Mitigate-their-own-Alienative-Conflicts.
