Through previously unknown forms of prayer the participant may learn how to get back in touch with those realities which are most central to being a unique creative individual with personal and communal integrity. In previously unknown forms of prayer there may come visions of a life free of the games of mutual self deception which dominate people---who try to dominate each other with the power to be in control: in keeping with the moralistic, ethical, legalistic, scientific requirements of participants' compulsively driven by low self esteem to seek ways to be in control. Honest prayer is the way out of collusions and the way toward personal and communal integrity. Honest prayer seeks to integrate love, power, justice and truth in a way which coherently balances needs for personal and communal integrity. In honest prayer games of mutual self deception become clear; the structure of their moves unmasked, their motivations evident, the way out illuminated. Prayer is not a technique for technical achieving already defined and/or chosen goals; it is a way through which to arrive at an integrative understanding of personal and communal possibilities which helpfully respond to the human needs which collusions deny exist. Technologies are often means for achieving goals to which powerless people are addicted---in futile efforts to bolster their sagging self esteem by finding ways to achieve control as the key to acceptance, love, and feeling good about self. Objective technocrats seek to find ways to achieve feeling good about self, but those who are addicted to objective technologies can not permit themselves to know this truth. They must play their games of mutual self deception by avoiding all reflexive considerations of truths about themselves as subjects who are the victims of denials regarding their subjective considerations about themselves. They are not free to pray for personal and communal integrity, because such prayer does not constitute objective behavior which is good beyond measure. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
