We are sick when we conceive our natures to be alienated, isolated, and disconnected; i.e., that it is natural to be alienated, isolated and disconnected. We are sick when we believe it is up to us to improve our souls, hearts and essential beings, so as to fix our defects and lack of essential existence. We are sick when we believe that it is up to us to correct in our being, believing, feeling, desiring and doing---the defects in souls, hearts and essential beings which have been used to justify our alienation, isolation and disconnectedness. We are healthy when we live in inter-connected communities as essentially accepted souls, hearts and beings---who are conceived to have been created in love, with love, as essentially acceptable for connected living, in love. We are healthy when we and others view our desires to be inter-connected---as normal, natural and in keeping with God's creation of our souls, hearts and essential nature of being. We are healthy when we see no need or occasion for trying to improve our souls, hearts or essential beings--- as steps to fix our defects and/or lack of essential existence. We are healthy when we love and live together in inter-connected communities where technologies are means of cooperative endeavors, not means to achieve acceptability. We are sick when we take sickness for granted, and regard alienation as normal and natural. We are sick when we do not feel it is appropriate to describe our pains, fears and frustrations---because we regard them as normal, natural and how things should be; beyond question, doubt and description. We are sick when we do not feel free to be open and honest with ourselves and each other because we believe that our souls, hearts and being are not what they should be to be acceptable in any essential way; and that it is our responsibility to fix them so that we and others can properly accept them. We are sick when we are preoccupied with fixing the essence of our being as the way to become acceptable into community; and we regard that preoccupation as normal and natural. We are sick when we believe and act as though there is nothing about a person which was created by God as essentially good and acceptable. We are sick when we believe in original sin which made all souls essentially unacceptable and in their need of being fixed because they are essentially prone to being evil in non-conformal ways. We are sick when we believe souls can properly be dammed because of non-conformal behaviors. We are sick when we do NOT regard personal and communal integrity as normal and natural realities which are recognized, named, described and talked about freely and without embarrassment. We are sick when we do not recognize, name, describe and talk about personal and communal integrity---because to do so would be to expose our failures to have fixed the essence of our beings; such fixes being the prescribed way to become acceptable into a community in which acceptance is conditional upon success, achievement, conformity and being good in proper ways. It is important to know when we are sick and to recognize why we are sick. It is important to do what we can do to change our minds about what we want to seek and be. It is important to then change our attitudes, ways of thinking and behaviors---as well as we can---so that we can be well together in inter-connected communities of being true to ourselves in love which is not in doubt.
