 2. The MEANINGFUL-MITIGATIONS of Clear-Signs-Of:    Anxiety,       Terrors,        Defensive-Mind-Sets-and-RUTS

In the light of the above considerations, what are the Appropriate-FOCI for
participants in Work-Shops, who are dedicated to helping EACH-OTHER to become 
able to help Each-Other and Yet-Others - - - to MITIGATE-THEIR-OWN-ALIENATIVE-
CONFLICTS?

                  Consider the following suggested possibilities:

1. Openly-and-Honestly-Describing Their-Own-Backgrounds which may-make-it-difficult and/or 
   relatively-easy - - - for them to cooperate in fulfilling the Spectrum-of-Essential-Purposes 
   that are consistent with the Core-Purposes-of-the-Work-Shop.

2. Openly-and-Honestly-Describing the PERVASIVE-BUT-OFTEN-TACIT: Assumptions, Perspectives, 
   Attitudes, Ideals, Values, Principles, Virtues, Virtues, Goals, Hopes and Expectations - - -
   which will tend to block and/or undermine the participants' efforts to fulfill the Purposes-
   of-the-Work-Shop.

3. Openly-and-Honestly-Describing the variety of activities in which the Work-Shop-Participants
   need to engage; for example: Study, Research, Meditation, Writing, Publishing, Role-Playing,
   Community-Involvements, Objective-Systems-Analyses, Reflexive-Systems-Analyses, Time-Budgeting, 
   Financial-Budgeting, Attention-Budgeting, Listening-to-Different-People, Confirming-Messages-
   Received, and the Evolution of Communal-Consensuses regarding Long-Term-Sustainable: Ideals,
   Values, Principles, Virtues, Life-Styles, and ways of Mitigating-Alienative-Conflicts - - - 
   among the members of the Crew of God's Astronomically-Tiny Space-Ship-Earth; Essentially-
   Isolated as it is - - - from Material-Resources that are most like the Most-Coveted-Material-
   Resources which are Being-Exhausted within Space-Ship-Earth; e.g., Usable-Forms-of: Oil, Coal, 
   Natural-Gas, Organic-Matter, Uranium, Thorium, Relatively-Pure-Minerals, Air, Water, Ice; etc.
   There are only FINITE-AMOUNTS of each of the above,  within Astronomically-Tiny-Space-Ship-Earth!
   Finite-AMOUNTS cannnot sustain FOR-EVER any EXPONENTIALLY GROWING RATE OF CONSUMPTION! 
   Be-Aware!  - - -  AND BEWARE!!

4. Openly-and-Honestly describing the Non-Sustainable-Natures of Many-Patterns-Of-Exponential-
   Growth that are being driven by Mortals-Now-Alive within God's Astronomically-Tiny-and-Isolated-
   Space-Ship-Earth - - - and How-Alienative-Patterns of Non-Sustainable-Growth Will-End-in-CHAOS - - -
   if they are not Mitigated-Intentionally-by-Mortals-NOW-ALIVE - - - letting-go of GREED as a TRAGIC
   Major-Motivating ALIENATIVE-FACTOR!
