All of the tortured machinations of a Michel Foucault or sweating anxieties of an Albert Camus (and numerous others) while undoubtedly artistic and interesting ought most importantly be recognized as being the result of Modernity’s complete forgetting and/or negation of Wisdom which is the process of integration and unity, whether personally, intellectually and/or systemically. In all of the world’s Wisdom traditions the concept and experience of oneness and flow is the height of Wisdom. This state goes by several names like satori/kensho, Atman and in the West Grace. Hence Grace is the pinnacle concept/experience of Wisdom and Wisdom is the process of integration itself. The above artists and intellectuals, partly because of their own demons no doubt, but even more so because of the lack of awareness and even more scarce practice of Wisdom in the modern world, got caught in the overwhelmingly negative actions and internally stymieing emotions of non-integration.
In order to avoid such fascinating/horrifying personal dramas from becoming national and international historical realities integration via the pinnacle concept/experience of Wisdom, i.e. Grace must be practiced personally and applied generally and most urgently to the monetary and economic systems.
Continual personal integration toward Grace and integrative systemic policies perfectly aligned with and reflecting Grace are the way forward.
