When one form of manipulative attempts at gaining control to achieve salvation does not work, the addict tries another method of trying to achieve control. Salvation has to do with inter-personal relationships so the addict is confronted with the need to control inter-personal relationships. Such relationships cannot be controlled in terms of the same kind of understanding, manipulation and method of control which work in dealing with impersonal objects. The addict thus needs means to control which are suitable to dealing with inter-personal relationships. The addict seeks to control human behavior. The addict can see that human behavior flows from perceptions, impressions, feelings, desires, fears, etc. Thus it is clear to the addict that what is needed is means by which to control perceptions, impressions, feelings, desires, fears, etc. The addict seeks to learn how to control people's perceptions, impressions, feelings, desires, fears, etc. Since such control is of ultimate importance to the addict, it is of no great concern that the means to such control involve systemic dishonesty. Through systematically dishonest manipulation of people's perceptions, impressions, feelings, desires, fears, etc. the addict seeks to achieve salvation through the dishonest manipulation of other people. Because the addict's behavior involves systematic dishonesty the behavior leads to personal and communal disintegration which reaches into the lives of all people who interact with the addict in any significant way. The addict's whole life is systematically dishonest and involves getting other people to join in the systematic pattern of dishonest behavior to make it appear normal. To fail to confront and reveal the dishonestly of the addict is to be drawn into a web of systematic dishonestly. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
