They only dimly understand the nature of their problem. They dimly know that they have a problem, barely aware that their problem is that they have made it a problem to deal honestly with their problem. The focus of their collusion is to make it taboo to realistically describe and deal with the problem of cooperating in escaping from their collusive game of mutual self deception. The rules of the collusion are implicit. The rules say it is taboo to cooperate openly and honestly. If participants in the collusion were free to cooperate openly and honestly then they would be able to escape from the collusion. The collusion says that escape from the collusion is taboo. The problem is how to escape. the collusion says there is no need to escape so that there is no problem. Still participants feel and know that there is a problem, but the collusion inhibits describing and understanding the nature of the problem in any intimate cooperative way. The purpose of the collusion is to conceal itself from the participants in the collusion; i.e., the ultimate purpose of the participants in the collusion is conceal from themselves the cooperative ways in which they are refusing to face disturbing realities of their creaturely life. Collusions flow from cooperative fear. People do not want to acknowledge finitude so they tacitly cooperate in creating cooperative ways of denying finitude. Thus one of the most important tacit rules is to make it taboo to cooperate in acknowledging finitude by breaking the tacit claims and rules of the collusion. Collusion participants expect that their ultimate security will be achieved by faithfully defending their collusion, for their experience is that they feel most insecure when their collusion is threatened. Thus, they cooperate in defending their sincerely held convictions that they have the means of transcending finitude. They cleverly devise ways of denying finitude while going through the motions of acknowledging finitude, for that makes the evasion more difficult to expose. A lie is more difficult to expose if it takes the overt from of saying the opposite of the message which it actually conveys. Anyone trying to expose the lie will then look like a fool, and the false message will continue to be affirmed by a falsehood garbed in the appearances of truth. Faithful collusion participants defend the "truths" of the collusion which conceal and carry with them the denials of finitude which are central to maintaining the collusion, and which are the purpose of the collusion. Their problem is to find a way to cooperatively recognize that the solution to their problems resides in integrative ways of affirming their finitude in loving ways. The problem with love is that it leads to behavior which acknowledges finitude in intimate ways which entail vulnerability as an essential ingredient of security. This makes no sense and is in complete violation of all the tacit rules and "truths" of the collusion! The means of Love must be taboo because they are in violation of God's Law. Techniques must be devised to prevent such violations even if the means are ultimately violent. Violent means serve the purposes of the collusion by promoting alienation which helps undermine the intimacy which might lead to honest admissions of finitude. Since the ultimate purpose of the collusion is to deny finitude it helps the collusion to undermine integrative cooperative behavior which deals realistically with the realities of creaturely existence. To successfully deny finitude one must deny death, ending. To deny ending one must deny beginning. That which is eternal does not end and does not begin. To deny finitude one must be successful in denying both birth and death; e.g., sexuality, increasing entropy, the mixing together of unlike elements. That which is eternal is regarded as perfect, pure, unmixed, unconfused, without fusion, able to stand alone without need of any fulfillment to survive with meaning. Participants in the collusion thus must deny and obscure their sexual needs for integrative intimate behavior which is and leads to recreation. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
