They can not be open and honest with each other. In fear of being open and honest with each other they can not be open and honest with themselves, they can not reflect clearly upon what it is that they are doing. To maintain a collusive game of mutual self deception participants must maintain a taboo against clear reflection. Participants must not be permitted to see clearly how they are doing violence to truth in any way, for that would threaten the collusion which gives all the meaning there is to their lives. Doing violence to truth undermines the possibility of finding meaning if life with integrity, so all meaning must be found through games of mutual self deception which require intensive concentration. Truth is inherently whole; with integrity. Participants in collusions do violence to the wholeness of truth and so the whole of truth, to its integrity. To maintain their games of mutual self deception colluders must not permit themselves to reflect upon the integrity of truth, for such reflection will reveal to them th violence they have done to truth, expose their collusive games of self deception, and so destroy the only meaning they have left in life. They sacrificed all the non- collusive meanings of life in creating the collusive disintegrative meanings of their games of mutual self deception. Only a miracle provides the way out of the prison of the taboos against honest reflection upon the disintegrative meanings of the collusive games of mutual self deception which people play. To participate it is impossible to envision the way out with equanimity; it looks like going crazy to them. Yet it is illogical to believe that the best meaning in life is to be found in activities which are as disintegrative as are games of mutual self deception, even when viewed from inside the prison bars of a collusion. The miracle can be realized by considering the advantages of integration as compared to the advantages of disintegration on a broad scale. The way out is the way of seeking to promote integration in order to promote both personal and communal integrity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
