“Never hold growth hostage to how you believe; but learn to believe, such that growth is ensured. “

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.
