Conformal emotions are constrained emotions; constrained by expectations, requirements, shoulds, shouldn'ts, prohibitions, taboos, etc. Conformal emotions are not honest emotions, and cannot be relied upon to communicate information which is important, useful and worthy of non-judgmental attention. People who know only about conformal emotions do not recognize authentic emotions as potentially open and honest revelations which could communicate to them information which would be important, useful and worthy of their non-judgmental attention. Because they do not know emotions as open and honest revelations which communicate information which is important, useful and worthy of non- judgmental attention; conformal people see the emotions which they do experience as the justification for their own conformal expectations regarding emotions. They are not skilled in dealing honestly with true reflexive relationships and the emotions which are associated with true reflexive relationships. Their collusions make such skills to be taboo, for such skills would undermine the "integrity" of their collusions. To escape the traps of respecting conformal expectations relating to emotions, we need to heighten our personal and communal levels of respect for the essential places of honesty, openness and integrity in all aspects of real living which brings authentic meaning, satisfaction and joy. So long as dishonest emotions are respected as having utilitarian manipulative value, so long we are unlikely to learn about the useful information which is communicated through open and honest emotions. So long as taboos which inhibit honest emotions are respected as having utilitarian manipulative value, so long we are unlikely to learn about the useful information which is communicated through open and honest emotions. So long as we maintain our collusions as useful manipulative devices: we will not be free to be open and honest about our emotions, we will not be free to know our own authentic emotions openly and honestly, and we will not be free to be true to ourselves with personal and communal integrity. Instead we will continue to participate in personal and communal disintegration without recognizing what is happening to us, and without recognizing why it is happening to us. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
