you pay others to give you help, they give a fair amount of help. Because the helper is
ignored, neutral help is of fair quality. This is the way most of us get help today. We hire it
or we buy it in the market place. When I go to McDonalds, I paythem five dollars to give
me help if the form of a meal.
a draw. He is unchanged by the act of helping you. Neutral relationships are ignoring and
static experiences. He is the same after helping as before. When you ignore those who help
you, this is why you get only mediocre help.
Sometimes I payothers to giveme help and sometimes otherspay me to givethem help.
We are both buyers and sellers of help
markets, shops, and restaurants — are all examples of neutral help. The yellow pages in
the telephone book are lists of places where you can purchase help. Capitalism’s fair
market is where you purchase neutral help. You buy help in the open market place at a
fair market exchange price. This is the modern free world where help is sold as products
and services.
and sell in the fair market, we are still depending on each other. Humans in neutral
relationship still depend on others to meet their needs. However in the fair market place
of neutrality, the helpers are anonymous. This anonymity is what allows us to feel
independent. Our belief systems in the Western ‘free’ world rest heavily on the core belief
in independence even while this belief is obviously false.
that dominates our world today. The mechanism
of relationship is conducted through a free and fair market with the honest exchange of
merchandise of good value at a fair price.

goods and services. Neither seller nor buyer should be injured in the exchange. Products
should represent a good value and be sold at a fair price. All citizens are guaranteed
freedom from loss.
We purchase products anonymously, usually without knowing the seller’s name, or he
ours. When I enter McDonalds to purchase my lunch, I see only the product, the
hamburger stacked in the warmer. I ignore the clerk. I don’t know her name or her story. I
see the hamburger, that’s what I want. The clerk behind the counter ignores me. She
doesn’t know my name or my story. She sees my five dollars, that’s what she wants.

nothing much has changed for me. I had five dollars in cash when I entered McDonalds,
and I left with five dollars worth of lunch. My net worth is the same.
strict economic sense, I am little changed by this exchange. In fair exchanges, $5.00 in cash
equals $5.00 in food. In fact, McDonalds created the lunch for less than $5.00, the fair
market price contains some profit for the seller. But, when I earned my $5.00, I did it by I
selling some product or service that cost me a little less. I’m entitled to a profit when I sell
products or services. That’s the neutral way.

but rather that we will avoid losing.
avoid playing the adversary game. We are free to work without fear that others will hurt
us. We are free and independent citizens. We are free to create products or provide
services and sell those in the great market for a fair price.
Adversity. Humans using neutral organization are much more successful than those using
adversarial organization. Because human needs and wants are many and complex and
there is no way any individual can meet these needs, we have evolved the great market.
We operate as independent producers and consumers. Each neutral citizen is responsible
for purchasing their own needs and wants.
They barter to insure that the exchange is fair — to insure that the price is not too high or
too low — to insure that neither party loses. The open market of free enterprise generates a
zone of neutrality which markedly reduces adversary relations. Neutral systems gain a
marked production advantage over adversary systems. They are significantly more
productive. However, this is primarily because they are not adversary.
relationship. (1+1) = 2. When you pay others to help you, offering them a fair wage in an
atmosphere marked by indifference, the helper draws and will typically give you only
average quality help.
employer pays me just enough to keep me from quitting. Neutral relationships are
marked by accidental conflict, moderate effectiveness and average productivity.
When we obtain help from others by payment of money, we are entering into theProduct

we see the emergence of theProduct Tensegrity. Productsare continuously available
and pullingon the buyer to enter the fair market, but the buyer is only occasionally
interested in making a purchase. Many of our stores are open 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, 52 weeks a year — continuously pulling. But, I only shop on Friday afternoons —

As a trader in the Product Tensegrity, I am continuously selling my help and
discontinuously buying help from others. As a seller I am courteous to the buyer because
I want his repeat business. But my focus in selling my product for as high a price as I can
get to make a good profit. As a buyer, I am civil to seller. But, I am seeking a bargain. I
want to pay as little as I can for the product. I definitely don' want to pay too much.

who receive their gifts and a desire to help the givers in return. Synergic help is when we
help each other by working together. We make sure that whenever anyone helps us, they
also benefit and find themselves helped in return. Synergic helpthen is that help attracted
