We can not helpfully remember every experience of each instant of our lives. We can not have available to us each day memories of every past experience. We are finite creatures. Selection must be made according to some ideals and values. In collusive/addictive behaviors the selection process hides from our consciousness some memories of our experiences which are highly relevant to daily life, and which need to be dealt with consciously and honestly. The ideals and values of collusive/addictive living tend to be disintegrative, not integrative. Such ideals fragment persons, and invite into persons externally referenced ideals and values, and treat such externally referenced ideals and values as being essentially the same as the core of the person. Thus the enemy spy is dressed up in (invested with) the uniform of the defending army! Dealing with external threats is then all but impossible. Confusion dominates and fear rules supreme. Defensiveness rises and fear is projected everywhere, because the threat is both within and without; there is no possible focus of trust, no quiet place, no serenity, no sanctuary, no security and no peace. In such confusion it is not clear where one should turn to find peace, serenity and security. The tendency is to seek resolution of problems by defensive measures which only heighten the sense of need for defensive measures. Defensive people can not find grounds for hope or trusting each other, especially when their highest ideals and goals lead them into selective remembrance according to a selection process which compulsively forgets much that needs to be remembered.
