The thing which people addicted to covert power-to- control fear most, is to have their dishonesty truly exposed in ways which all the people can see and believe. The true exposure of their covert collusive games of mutual self deception may lead to the loss of support from their supportive codependents. Then the powerful leaders would have to function as overt dictators with a smaller base of support. It is much better to continue to play the collusive games of mutual self deception; and so it is that many prophets have been crucified in the interests of keeping in power the addictive leaders. It is dangerous to permit the prophets of Love, Power and Justice to sow the seeds of the Gospel without effectively discrediting their message by discrediting the prophets. The prophets must be shown to be without real power by debilitating them, and so scattering their followers so that the followers do not behave in any coherent way. The followers must lose faith in their prophets; and lose faith in the Gospel of Love, Power and Justice which the true prophets preach. This is best accomplished through the assistance of collusive games of mutual self deception; and only occasionally through crucifixions. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
