If the mandate is full of power---the double bind creates a situation in which the terms of the mandate can not be fulfilled and failure is guaranteed, and so punishment is guaranteed. A community can internalize in its traditions, laws and taboos contradictory mandates which generate communal double binds---by making mandatory the performance of contradictory actions. If failure to fulfill the terms of the contradictory mandates implies alienation from the community of those perceived to be responsible for such failure, the pattern of mandates will tragically undermine the personal and communal integrity of the community. The community will not survive with meaning. To survive with meaning communities need creative members who are empowered to expose tendencies of communities to develop internally contradictory traditions, laws and taboos. To survive with meaning communities need coherence which flows from a profound integrity in the ultimate values and ideals which define the nature of the community. The exposure of incoherence in values and ideals is preventive medicine which protects the community against disintegrating due to communal double binds. Insecure members of communities that are suffering from the tragic consequences of incoherent values and ideals---often express their insecurity by seeking to repress awareness of such incoherence. Such immature persons prefer to hide their heads in the sand. Such behavior accentuates the tendencies towards and tragic costs of communal incoherence. The repression of threatening insights undermines the integrity and survival value of a community in which such repression occurs. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
