Humble persons seek to use words to call others' attention to what self has encountered as real. If that which has been encountered is reality, the words of pointing may be imprecise---and yet the attention of seekers be directed to reality. If self and others are in dialogue, their consciousness of reality may be deepened through shared experiences of it and their associated responses; be they affective, analytic, and/or manipulative. The experiences may be shared through a strange language which points to the reality encountered. If the self and others are concerned with ensymboling truths, they may be more concerned with the perfection of the ensymbolment than with the awareness of reality. Estrangement of the self and others from each other and from reality may follow. Attention is likely to focus upon the imperfections of others' ensymbolment of truth--- rather than upon reality. There may develop a collusion to transform any perceived reality into what the ensymbolment of truth would have it be. If such a collusion develops, there is a further estrangement of the self and others from each other and from reality; persons cease to live as dialogue ceases. Education at its best involves professors and students sharing their experiences of reality---and also their affective, analytic, and manipulative responses to it and to each other. Education at its worst is a collusion of trainers and trainees victimizing each other with distorted self- images---which are coercive and destructive of real persons. It is hoped that readers will recognize that these words do not ensymbol great truths, for great truths cannot be contained in words. It is hoped that these words may point to realities of modern death and birth--- so that there may be hope and meaning. Finally, whoever points to realities may not be an incarnation of those realities to which he or she points --- and yet the pointing may be helpful to seekers who who are free to see the realities to which she or he points.
