“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God–what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

Behind the horrors common in global headlines, we are experiencing a uniquely critical educational crisis, about elevating consciousness, to safeguard human development in general. In response, I contemplate and teach effect principles to magnify my faith in change. And, so long as I continue to observe that universal creativity is stronger than my fear of destruction, I have a basis not just to go on, but to flourish. I say this despite the fact that at any given time, on most sides of most issues, any one of a multitude of narrow perspectives handicaps critical thinking for effective change. Consequently:

-The health of democracy is failing as broad historical customs have progressively undercut critical thinking for comprehensive health, in general human development.

-As citizens in democracies, our privilege as well as our responsibility is to understand conflict-resolution at large. Only on this basis can the public govern the quality of political, economic, and spiritual leadership. Health is not sustainable when in the process of getting elected, the public expects politicians not to hold a mirror up to inadequate preparation, for effective citizenship. The more this is customary, the more there are droves of candidates comfortable to essentially gain support by never daring to rise, above being short-sighted. In the process, as links between limits in public vision and political ties to power and greed increase, truth becomes defined by what unethical leadership dishonestly promotes.

-As unethical leadership capitalizes on varying degrees of inadequate public perceptions, the character of how and what citizens understand becomes subject to the character of how, what, and where leadership is tied to power and greed. All too often then, the character of our nation’s capacities for genuine conflict-resolution is shaped by deceit, selfishness, and defunct moral interest in genuine public service.

-As public leadership fails to positively alter human development as a (W)hole ®, universal principles for sustainable change conflict with inertia in our confusion.

-Consequent to inadequate preparation for timely self-cultivation, detrimental challenges in general human development increase. In response, by means of profound wisdom for global conflict-resolution, human development can expand to the point that the world can be saved, from untimely customs of thought.

Therefore:

-The key educational tools needed are what I call (W)hole®, sage, perspectives; and the key manner of preparation for timely action is contemplation .

-Sage perspectives for The Way to See (W)hole ® are key because:

-Magnifying fundamental creative principles in individual consciousness can effectively compensate for destructive principles in general human development. Consequently:

-To engender “The United States of Mind” needed to orchestrate a concert of character for peace, the general public in a democracy needs timely education, for the key creative way to assist the evolution of local, national, and global change. Thereby:

-In the recorded essay that I call “Silver Lessons” for superior human development, I wrote that “war continues, based on power we fail to assume, for peace we neglect to learn”.

-I encourage the idea that genuine global citizenship is an expression of character, that learns to earn what peace requires. Consequently:

-I once had a message on radio that said something like, “ Dear Citizens…[because] it is not only among our enemies that ignorance can substitute for intelligence,…anger is more commonplace than understanding, prejudice more common than tolerance, and conflict more common than peace. Therefore, [it is]our personal neglect for learning to heal the world with wisdom [that]is reflected in the broken body of every soldier, civilian, ecosystem, and vain argument. And so long as the blood of combat spills from the spirit of antagonism that flows from the concepts we fail to scrutinize, war as the progeny of our habits will continue to defy peace, as the destiny of change…” Moreover, in another radio message I said that “ Because the range of our feelings can narrow the scope of our insights; without diligent efforts for timely change, deficits in perspectives can hide, [even] in [a sincere sense] of innocence. And because every brick in hell is molded by habits in perspectives, war is always compelled by limits in understanding. Therefore, to spare history from [needlessly]dealing [out]death,… any spiritual precept thought to be above criticism is too vainly filled with pride to leave room for divine humanity, or moral governance. … [Therefore]…for victory over blood spilled by confusion, …nothing beats a failure but a try.” Consequently:

- The universal predicament of mankind is that narrow perspectives historically impede acting in the interest of life as a whole.

-Whether we are relatively aware or unconscious of universally creative and destructive principles, their effects underpin and characterize all our choices; and the collective impact of all our choices governs the survival or collapse of the world. Therefore:

-Since peace evolves in tune with evolutionary qualities in the character of being a citizen, contemplating sage principles is a harbinger as well as fundamental element of effective change.

-To mount an authentic, efficient, and effective campaign for a national shift in consciousness, the primary responsibility of citizenship is to learn and allow sage spiritual principles to lead to where wisdom would have us to follow. Therefore:

-Consequent to inadequate understanding for global conflict-resolution, under the leadership of confusion, fate falls in league with worldwide destruction. Thereby:

-In parades of inadequate perceptions of truth, needless death, suffering, and turmoil are regularly imposed under confused leadership. Consequently:

-As much as peace is a neglected study, war is a habitual custom, made inevitable by not assuming change to be inevitable.

-Today, as the entire biosphere is failing in health, more motives are being generated for confusion to stiffly resist practical reason.

-Darkness is too often mistaken for light, as leaders plunge citizens into an ever-emerging states of continuously emerging emergencies. Consequently:

-Since customary confusion is not safe to adequately safeguard the future, now is the time to learn The Way to See (W)hole®, for thousands of lanterns to reconstruct the stature of civilization:

-Only by choosing to enact needed change, can general health inherit the world. Consequently:

-Throughout history, self-leadership is always subject to functioning like an addiction; making self-deception and general waste easier, as the momentum of customs, traditions, and common practices become stronger, and change becomes harder to achieve.

-Because particular phases in history take misguided directions, common sense is lost when even one soldier dies for the same vision of conflict that historically plagues humanity.

-We need a new story that says: Once upon a time, trusting folks got horribly ensnared in the history of inadequate perceptions of truth; thereby, innocence regularly suffered and died in needless service to unwise goals. But, now that everyone and everything as a (w)hole ® is approaching the end of business as usual, education for superior humanity must be assumed to alter the direction of destiny. At this point in our story, we would do well to hear the voice of J.R.R. Tolkien saying “…you are called hither. Called, I say, though I have not called you to me, strangers from distant lands. You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance as it may seem. Yet it is not so. Believe rather that it is so ordered that we, and none others, must now find counsel for the peril of the world.” Otherwise:

-Consequent to “Brokers of Arrogance, Deception, and Denial”a very B-A-D-D thing happens when B-A-D-D habits join with worldwide insanity in formal and informal fellowships. Consequent to B-A-D-D limits in perception in B-A-D-D leadership, B-A-D-D character is an art form, regularly enacted as informal education, through entertainment. When neglected vision forms a B-A-D-D state of affairs, B-A-D-D judgment leads soldiers to needless deaths, needless wounds, and needlessly taking second place to B-A-D-D political ambitions. When allegiance to a political party comes first, kids die consequent to deliberately B-A-D-D deceptions; craftily scripted and spouted in public, darkness is offered as light. Consequent to B-A-D-D concepts hiding in universal customs of thought, the entire biosphere is falling into a “failed state”, as B-A-D-D motives fight to dominate the world. The heart of B-A-D-D company is B-A-D-D reactions to truth; so B-A-D-D to the bone that superior reasoning is easily upended, on all sides of all conflicts. Thereby:

-As much as peace is a neglected study, war is a habitual custom, made inevitable by not assuming change to be inevitable. Consequently:

-For victory over blood spilled by confusion, …nothing beats a failure but a try.

Habitually, history is so haunted by confusion that it is easy for darkness to be mistaken for light. As a result, inadequate concepts to support ideal potentials for sustainability and peace are closer to us than relatives, and more regularly lodged in our homes than guests. Therefore, on a daily basis, consequent to individual customs of thought filled with so little wisdom, individuals collectively orchestrate unconscious forces that pave the road to hell. Yet, step by step, one individual at a time, as we self-cultivate principles for global conflict-resolution, in the fundamental nature of perception, timely change for untimely customs is inherent in the nature of consciousness. Based on contemplating artful principles to elevate the salvation of humanity, we must act to manage pitfalls, with character to transform the world . This is how the end of mankind can be practically exceeded, through Integral Humanism.

In the manner that the universe acts through sage consciousness, Integral Humanism relates Nature’s mystical creativity to practical necessity. Consequently, despite global circumstances heavily interlaced with arrogance, deception, and denial, it is fundamental to perception that trouble is just one side of a universal conjunction of opposites; present in all thoughts and actions, throughout the history of consciousness. What this means is that based on principles behind all the facts of life, individuals express the same dynamic forces of the universe that cosmically integrate harmony or disintegrate in chaos.

Yin/Yang, or the cosmic/chaotic rhythm of the universe is eternally reflected in degrees of contrast. Therefore, consequent to principles for potential conflict existing in all states of mind, establishing balance through timely human development is a virtue; naturally required for the evolution of civilization. Such balance is enhanced through contemplative education. For education to magnify potentials to rid the world of war then, I wrote a small text about the Tao or Way of Consciousness and Change titled, The Way to See (W)hole® . The heart of the text centers on the development of timely intuitions for disciplined judgment; or, how contemplating sage perspectives enacts Nature’s Way for superior human development to foment universal peace.

In principle, because conflict is subject to being positively transformed through self-cultivation, in the philosophic and psychological foundations to universal change, individuality is not too small to elevate universal humanity. Therefore, in a manner that makes life as simple to conceive as it is otherwise complex and difficult to command, The Way to See (W)hole ® explains how universal reciprocity functions in perception.

In terms of reciprocity, the “laws” of science and principles of reason are mutual reflections of universal complementarity. In this sense, in order for ignorance to be held in check, cosmic principles must be employed to govern our chaotic potentials. Moreover, since the general crisis in existence derives from less than (W)hole® perception of life’s interdependence, once dialogues based on (W)hole® concepts reach a critical mass, evolution predicated on expanding interests in character will aggregate peace. To initiate such dynamic global change, only those who are at first willing to learn The Way to See (W)hole® are needed to begin what others will eventually follow.

Inwardly, as I hear my muse telling me that what can’t be avoided mustn’t be denied, I realize that to heal persistent ignorance, the role of wisdom is to compensate for what is customarily hard to see. Against the background of the growing storm then, wisdom’s way to hope contemplates integral character as the only antidote to collective despair. In the face of restless minds starving for deeper streams of consciousness, when the emphasis on controlling others is exchanged for greatness through self-control, power through illumination is steadily enabled to dispel grave shades of hell.

Therefore, since the substance of existence depends on principles of change, consciousness is now, was, and forever will be the dynamic interaction of substance and principle.And, as the substance and principles of history are reflected in our choices, we constantly generate and shape contrasting perceptions and potentials; responsible for every positive or negative possibility.Therefore, based on positive and negative potentials being endlessly interlocked in our perceptions, the status of our understanding directly and indirectly participates in shaping all issues of harmony or discord. Consequently, relevant to daily concerns for saving the world by means of wisdom, the most comprehensive way for individuals to manage personal ties to universal conflict-resolution is to contemplate: Oracles for The Way to See (W)hole®  .

In a fantasy dream sequence taken from the book, The Way to See (W)hole®, it says: “Anyone can come to realize that: ordinary conceptions set customary limits for the extraordinary possibilities of change.  Extraordinary conceptions redefine the ordinary, so a fresh tradition may be gained.”

“God” indicates the all-powerful creativity of universal principles of change; the divine spiritual root of evolution that underpins, actualizes, and lends character to creation. As the supreme power of principles of change, God indicates the fundamental mystery of transcendence, in the subjects and objects of perception.

-As change orchestrates universal time and space, God indicates Nature as a (W)hole ®. Godly character then, refers to sustainable human development; wise enough to reflectively complement Nature’s universally creative principles, in psychology, philosophy, religion, and science.

-As consciousness, God as creation and Godliness as sage human development occur consequent to YinYang: The universally interdependent activity of contrasting positive and negative principles; the basis of creative vs destructive tendencies in our personalities.

-In psychology, philosophy, and religion, when negatives are subject to being transformed through enlightened morality, Godliness refers to the exercise of superior character for global conflict-resolution, or sageliness.

-As universal creativity acts through individual morality, it reconstructs untimely potentials for global destruction. Therefore, contemplating (W)hole ® sage principles for genuine global citizenship magnifies hope, predicated on the universal creativity of God. This is how Integral Humanism (Godly character) works through synchronicity: Sage self-cultivation for sanity positively and correspondingly alters alternative planetary potentials. Therefore:

-In practical yet mystically effective character development, based on the practice of contemplating sage principles for global conflict-resolution, as insightful inclinations to Godliness progressively enact YinYang balance, we directly and indirectly cooperate with universal creativity; to instigate, integrate, and sustain timely change.

-Based on the unity of universal change at the root of consciousness then, Integral Humanism is how Godly individuals activate collective progress, over cultural disintegration. Thereby, as our unique creative experiences resonate throughout life, resolving war depends on profound general refinements in character, for expanding universal principles for wisdom, in response to varying instances of conflict.

-Based on contemplative philosophic and psychological routines, focused on reading life like a Book of Changes, sage character reflects The Way to See (W)hole ®, for acting in tune with universal creativity. Thereby:

-Based on embracing universal opposition within the peaceful character of wisdom, the objective of sage consciousness is to be a transformational counterbalance to chaos. Thereby, sageliness reflects The Tao, or Way of Universal Creativity: Nature’s ultimately effective, efficient, and comprehensive response to disintegrating influences. Thereby, as sage character functions to transform the climate of death on our planet, in the time we have left to invest life with hope:

-Through contemplative education, as character responds to life like an Oracle for revitalizing humanity, “May the conscience and the common sense of the peoples be awakened, so that we may reach a new stage in the life of nations, where people will look back on war as an incomprehensible aberration of their forefathers!” -Albert Einstein

Integral Humanism represents character centered amid all life’s contrasting relationships. It suggests harmony over chaos, and personal progress in tandem with character to save the world. It’s focus is virtuous humanity, marked by timely capacities to change in tune with universal creativity. At the core, it symbolizes using sage perspectives to harmonize dynamics of change. It addresses general catastrophe as an issue arising from individual neglect for common negative tendencies. Based on the premise that the universe functions as a whole, the perspective in Integral Humanism is that every act that expands sage qualities in consciousness forms a creative basis for positively altering chaos. In line with that, the following thoughts are appropriate to Integral

Humanism:

-Change is consciousness, the container as well as the content of life; and life is the experience of expressing and managing positive and negative influences of existence.

-Individuals who contemplate sage concepts for global conflict-resolution initiate, coordinate, and positively transform collective human potentials.

-The key way to govern the world is enacted as any individual’s moral action leads them to make timely personal adjustments; weakening destruction by strengthening creativity.

-Contemplating principles for genuine global citizenship can alter the climate of global consciousness; therefore, self-change for the good of all life is fundamental to sanity.

-Life is ultimately whole, yet uniquely individual; therefore, each one of us is uniquely responsible for saving the world.

-In the time that we have left to invest life with hope, now is always the time for progressive change, and progressive change is always assured by contemplating The Way to See (W)hole®:

-Integral Humanism represents an evolutionary philosophy and psychology , capable of converging globally divergent tendencies, with potentials for hopeful change.
