Epic-stories, 2. Religious-Songs, 3. Parables, 4. Theology, 5. Novels, 6. Folk Songs, 7. Religious-Scriptures, 8. History-Books, 9. Science-Texts, 10. Professional-Reports, 11. Military-Manuals, 12. Military-Law, 13. Secular-Law, 14. Religious-Law, 15. Religious-Rituals, 16. Taboos, 17. Mandatory-Traditions, 18. Prescriptions-and-Proscriptions, etc. Conflicts between-and-among humans are embodied-in and mediated-by the above mediating-media. Novel-New- media are often invented to gain advantages in the course of such conflicts; to embody such advantages, to concentrate wealth-and-power; and to over-throw such concentrations of wealth-and-power. Mediating-media can also play roles in clarifying the tragically-disintegrative effects of the Alienative-Uses- and-Abuses of particular mediating-media. Of course powerful experts in the abuse of particular mediating- media often object to the use of competing/new mediating- media --- to expose-and-subvert their favorite mediating- media. Mediating-Media can become and be the Message-of- Liberation --- and be objected to because of the Message- of-Liberation which is mediated. How then can we distinguish between the Mediating-Media and the Various- Messages which are Mediated-by the Mediating-Media? Some Mediating-Media are Best-Suited to Messages-of- Liberation; and other Mediating-Media are Best-Suited to Messages-of-Domination. A Dominant-Media may be The- Message-of-Alienation. A Reconciling-Media may be A- Message-of-Healing-Integration. By the nature of the following "Media" --- the messages which are embodied in and carried by them --- are likely to be Messages of Domination-and-Alienation --- especially when they are imposed unilaterally: 1. Prescriptions. 2. Proscriptions. 3. Taboos. 4. Demands. 5. Commands. 6. Collusions. 7. Polarizations. 8. Dichotomizations. 9. Denigrations. 10. Attacks. 11. Terrorizations. 12. Excommunications. Often the message which we send to others is determined by the mediating-media within which we seek to formulate our message. Message of Liberation-and- Reconciliation cannot be Helpfully-Formulated within a Mediating-Media which is most often used or abused as a Media for Control-and-Domination. When a Mediating-Medium has often been used/abused in alienative ways --- at the best it will be difficult to Helpfully-Formulate and Communicate any Message-of- Reconciliation within and/or via that Mediating-Medium. Beware of ignorance about such difficulties! Such ignorance does not lead to bliss! Mediating-Media: Point-toward that which is Important; Call-Attention to that which is Important; Suggest that which is Important; Reveal that which is Important; Unmask that which is Important; Clarify that which is Important; DO-NOT-CONTAIN that which is Important.
