If we begin with the assumptions/convictions that our reflexive relationships are not of any fundamental importance or significance---we thereby reflexively blind ourselves to the very reflexive assumptions/convictions which blind us. We thereby begin playing our collusive games of mutual self deception---which are essentially reflexive and disintegrative; but are invisible to us because we have blinded ourselves to them by adopting our assumptions/convictions. Beginning with dishonesty about the nature of our most fundamental reflexive assumptions about ourselves, our relationships, and our cosmos---is a beginning which assures that our reflexive relationships will be dishonest/disintegrative; and so will lead us to end up as impersonal, isolated/alienated, and disintegrating fragments; in fulfillment of our assumptions/convictions which we cannot permit ourselves to see. We thus assure ourselves that our beginning assumptions are correct, even if deadly. We prefer being deadly correct to being truly alive. The only way we can honestly examine our most basic assumptions is to be in dialogue with people who have made and live in terms of complimentary basic assumptions. If we always spend all of our time with people who have made the same set of basic assumptions as we have, we are unlikely to examine our most basic assumptions in any open and honest way. Specialization thus undermines the possibility of openly and honestly examining our most basic assumptions---and so undermines most integrative work. If our most basic assumptions are exclusive in nature, then we will exclude from our fellowship people who have made fundamentally different basic assumptions, and we are thereby imprisoned in our exclusive assumptions. Our exclusivity imprisons us, makes the bars of our prison, and puts the lock on the door of our self-made prison. Our prison of exclusive objectivity is a reflexive prison of our own making.
