The blockages may pertain to separate portions of our brain, such as the left and right portions of the cortex, or to less physically definable separate aspects of our psyche. In extreme cases our body may involve two or more separate personalities who communicate with each other minimally, if at all. Such split personalities dramatize the possibility of blockages to internal communication within one of us. Such internal blockages probably occur in much less dramatic ways in each of us. To the extent that they do occur in us---we become incapable of full self- awareness---we lose integrity. Blockages to internal communication may be occasioned by our internalizing excommunication as a means of dealing with conflicts of various sorts: interpersonal, perceptual, conceptual, value, methodological, political, religious, spiritual, philosophical, labor, business, educational, international, etc. The internalization of unresolved conflicts in combination with the internalization of the technique of excommunication occasions in us the generation of blockages to internal self-communication---and so blockage to our self- awareness. Such blockages occasion in us the break-down of personal integrity, and the onset of frustrations, anxiety, fear, resentment, anger, and other emotions which we cannot "properly" express, and so we become violent. Many in our society have become violent! To recover our self-awareness we need to return to what is most uniquely identified with our self---personal sensory data. This may be difficult for us because our internalized collusions may filter/interpret even our raw sensory data to the point that we can not be aware of sensations in an unbiased way. We may have become so preoccupied with formal representations of reality as to have lost touch with our raw sensory data. Even so, the direction for us to move is towards greater awareness of our own unique sensations---rather than towards more formal representations of the nature of reality. Sensory orientations are threatening to all authoritarians (religious, scientific, political, educational), for there are no authoritatively true sensations. Sensory orientations tend to undermine authoritarian systems of all kinds, so authoritarian systems tend to try to repress them. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
