We are sick when we conceive our nature 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---through our being, believing, feeling, desiring and doing---the defects in our souls, hearts and essential beings which have been used to justify our alienation, isolation and disconnectedness. HOWEVER: 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 own souls, hearts or essential beings as steps to fix our defects and/or lack of essential existence---as work to be done to become acceptable beings. We are healthy when we love and live together in inter-connected communities where technologies are means in cooperative endeavors---not means to achieve acceptability. HOWEVER: We are sick when we take sickness for granted and regard alienation as normal and natural. We are sick when we do not feel free to describe our pains, fears and frustrations---because we regard them as normal, natural and how things should be; beyond question, doubt and description for "poor folks like us." 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 beings are not what they should be to be acceptable in any essential way; and that it is our responsibility to fix them for ourselves and/or for each other. We are sick when we are preoccupied with fixing the essence of our beings as the way to become acceptable in the 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 (who was created by God) as good and acceptable, essentially without a good soul. We are sick when we believe in original sin which made all souls essentially unacceptable---and we believe souls are in need of being fixed, because they are essentially prone to being evil in non-conformal ways. We are sick when we believe souls are dammed by God 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 conform and fix 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 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 in love that is not in doubt.
