   %CODEPENDENT WELFARE VICTIM SPIRIT ADDICTION FIX+940616
                         %TECHNICAL PROBLEM DILEMMA 940616

    The  welfare  state  of mind generates people who  are
victims in many ways.

    Being a victim is not essentially an objective reality
because  the process by which victims are generated is not
essentially  an objective reality.   The state of mind and
of being a victim is as much a spiritual state/attitude as
it  is  an objective state/reality.    Recovery  from  the
welfare state  of mind  and  of  being a victim is thus as
much  a  spiritual recovery as an objective recovery.

    Many true  victims  have been victimized in  objective
ways and as a result  have  reasonably adopted many of the
characteristic attitudes and  perspectives and of victims.
Many  victims of the  welfare state  of mind and of  being
have  not  been victimized in  objective  ways---yet  have
adopted   many   of  the  characteristic   attitudes   and
perspectives of true victims.

The   differences   between  true  victims  and   apparent
victims are often un-clear,  subtle,  hidden and confused,
due  to collusive games  of mutual  self  deception of the
welfare state  of mind and of being.

Recovery  of  health for victims of the welfare  state  of
mind  and  of being is not promoted by a  narrow  emphasis
upon   technical  considerations  and  procedures:   fixes
designed for  people who are addicted to the welfare state
of  mind  and  of  being.  Spiritual  recovery  is  not  a
commodity which can be sold or  given to people who are in
need of  recovery.      Technocrats   who  are addicted to
fixes  and to fixing  imperfections  cannot fix victims of
the  welfare  state   of mind and of  being---because  the
dilemma  of   victims of the welfare state of mind and  of
being is a dilemma, not a technical problem.

The  dilemma of the welfare state of mind and of being  is
much like the dilemma  of  addicts  and  their codependent
supporters.  It is a dilemma of  finding  the true way out
of  dysfunctional  personal relationships which are  based
upon false assumptions, perceptions and attitudes.   It is
the dilemma of transcending alienative ideals,  values and
relationships.    The dilemma cannot be transcended  while
preoccupied   with   technical  considerations,   to   the
exclusion of spiritual considerations.

A   welfare state of mind and of being is a state of  mind
and  of  being  which is trapped in  the  imprisonment  of
ideals  and  values  which  divert  attention  away   from
spiritual considerations---away  from  reflexive realities
and relationships.    Spirituality  pertains  to reflexive
realities and relationships.   Technocrats who are fixated
upon  objective  manipulations  do not  have  the  spirit,
attitudes  and perspectives which are needed to  transcend
the   welfare  state  of mind and of being.   Technocrats'
manner of manipulation  of  victims   of the welfare state
of  mind  and of being encourages them to  continue  their
history of being victims within the state  of  mind and of
being to which they have grown accustomed.

People   who are victims of the welfare state  of mind and
of  being need to be encouraged to be true  to  themselves
and  each other---by being given the true gift of security
known  as the freedom to be safely vulnerable in the light
of their past history.  They need to learn how they got to
be  victims  of the welfare state of mind and of  being---
through open  and honest dialogue  regarding  the  ways in
which they came to be victims of the welfare state of mind
and of being. They are victims in a process in which  they
have been  participants, along with those  who  have  been
mislead  as welfare providers.   Their relationships  have
been   dysfunctional,   and   all   participants   in  the
dysfunctional  relationships need to seek insight into how
their   relationships   are  dysfunctional   because   of:
dishonesty,  manipulations, objectifications, alienations,
addictions, codependencies and collusions.

Recovery   from  the  state of mind and of being  of   the
welfare  state is in large part a spiritual recovery which
has  objective  aspects.    Focusing  primarily  upon  the
objective  aspects of such a recovery does  not  encourage
recovery.    Pretending  that the spiritual  recovery  can
occur in the absence of objective aspects of the recovery,
is  part of the process of maintaining  the  dysfunctional
state of mind and of being of the welfare state.   So also
is pretending that the essential recovery can occur in the
absence of attention  being  given to the spiritual nature
of the dilemma.

    The  above considerations indicate that recovery  from
the   dysfunctional patterns of the welfare state of  mind
and of being will be made difficult by:

    1.  Separations between spiritual and governmental
  considerations.

    2.  Objectifications and depersonalizations.

    3.  Technocratic fixations upon manipulations.

    4.  Preoccupations with issues of control.

    5.  Alienative procedures and requirements.

    6.  Fixations upon imperfections and fixes.

    7.  Collusive games of mutual self deception.

    8.  Addictive/codependent relationships.

    9.  Shallow/dishonest spirituality.

   10.  Legalistic religiosity and condemnations.
