Sub-conditions:
1. Whilst it is to be expected that some can only be superficially affected by a profound understanding of events, it is to be regretted when the dialogue of superior values contents itself with a shallow, disconnected view of the forces prevailing in society as a whole. (Resulting in: Assistance).
2. Whilst for some it is sufficient to view the world from a subjectively limited standpoint, this narrowness is harmful in the case of the dialogue which must take an active part in the affairs of the world. (Resulting in: Barrier dissolution).
3. When it focuses on recognition of its own nature and the effects it creates, this may be a basis for the dialogue to determine whether or not it is developing. (Resulting in: Development).
4. The dialogue should facilitate independent action by those who understand how it can be made to flourish. (Resulting in: Stagnation).
5. Self-evaluation by the dialogue of superior values will only bring satisfaction when its effects are beneficial and free of mistakes. (Resulting in: Deterioration).
6. The dialogue detached from mundane affairs will most benefit society when exploration of psycho-social processes brings recognition of how it may avoid being responsible for generating negative effects. (Resulting in: Solidarity).
Transformation sequence Recognition of the relationship between results engenders decisive integrative action. (Resulting in: Decisive action).
