Since their mythology involves a deterministic perfection which is devoid of mystery, their meaning in life is occasioned by the elimination of mystery, by whatever means available. Since their ultimate concern is analytic insight, knowledge, intellectual understanding and control; i.e., the elimination of mystery---all means towards those ends are regarded as proper. Since the technocrat worships the elimination of mystery, repression is a legitimate means towards that end. Thus where analytic insight, knowledge, and intellectual understanding do not have the power to deprive processes of their mystery---technocrats resort to repression to eliminate mystery from consciousness on the part of themselves and others. Collusions are formed according to which essentially mysterious processes do not exist; the technocrats and their victims become desensitized to the essentially mysterious aspects of real living. Taboos develop to inhibit unfiltered experiences of that which is essentially mysterious. The technocratic culture ensures that all experiences are perceived through the filters of analytic insight, verbal knowledge, and intellectual understanding. It is taboo to perceive without those filters---for they protect against dangerous, immoral and unethical perceptions/desires. Real humane living involves intimate, affective, sensual, sexual, subjective, I-Thou, etc. type experiences---which lose their character whenever the participant attempts to understand and control them; i.e., attempts to deprive them of their mystery. Objective analysis of such realities represses their realization, and thereby represses mystery---in fulfillment of the technocrats' dreams. Through such repressive analysis technocrats find their barren meaning in life and rob non- technically oriented people of the opportunity to enjoy mysterious encounters. Much of the technocrats' program for the repression of mystery takes place within the educational processes which they dominate. Students are trained via tangential responses and other repressive behaviors---to be indifferent and/or violent towards mysterious relationships and communications. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
