As Ethics/An Ethic is an intrinsic aspect of actually and necessarily being completely and (hopefully) healthily human, it is simultaneously above and superior to Living and an inextricable aspect of it as well. This is why Trinity (unity within diversity) is so necessary to understand it. Ethics/The Ethical is what I would refer to as a Quadrinity which is the integration of the aspects of the pinnacle experience of Wisdom, that is the personal experience of Grace so that integrating/actualizing space, time, Self awareness, nowness, newness, simultaneous unity and diversity, simultaneity itself, observation/conscious viewpoint etc. etc. brings one a greater, fuller and more unitary reality of both the world of Self and the world of the Other. This process probably follows the Duality Within Trinity formula as well (two necessary but more minor aspects integrated with a higher,more comprehensive and/or essential-underlying one as in [(Body, Mind) X Spirit], but the integration is of purely spiritual qualities moving toward higher and higher experience of understanding Self, Life and Living.
