     Humans  cannot  be  fully  human in  the  absence  of
intimate relationships with other integrative humans.     
                                                          
     Integrative    communities    are   communities    of
integrative people   inter-connected  through  cooperative
intimate relationships between integrative humans.        
                                                          
     It  is  human  nature  to  seek  to  be  involved  in
integrative intimate relationships to build the  integrity
of the community through new conceptions.                 
                                                          
     Not  all  human seeking leads to integrative  efforts
and integrative relationships.   Often through  ignorance,
confusion,  wounds,  disease,  blockages,  prejudice,  and
misfortune---some efforts are misguided and lead to tragic
consequences  and  so to more occasions  of  people  being
misled.   Sincerity,   high levels of  dedication,   self-
sacrifice, discipline, tenacity and communal consensus all
together are not enough  to guarantee that  human  efforts
will  not  be  misled.    They can all  be  undermined  by
collusive games of mutual self deception as well as by the
other factors named just above.                           
                                                          
     People   who  are  seeking  to  become  involved   in
integrative intimate relationships are often motivated  by
some forms of love into sexual intimacy which is not truly
integrative.    Sexual  motivations  are  not  infallible.
Motivations  of  what appears to be "true love"   are  not
infallible.   Young people need some guidance in order  to
be  able to recognize how  through  ignorance,  confusion,
wounds, disease, blockages,  prejudice,  and misfortune---
some human sexual efforts are misguided and lead to tragic
consequences  and  so  to more occasions of  people  being
misled.  Sincerity,   high levels  of  dedication,   self-
sacrifice, discipline, tenacity and communal consensus all
together  are  not enough  to guarantee that  human sexual
efforts will not be  misled.    They can all be undermined
by collusive games of mutual self deception as well as  by
the other factors named just above.
