Do the Western equivalent of the Islamic practice of facing east, bowing and praying three times a day, and also acculturating an Ethic of Grace by contemplating its aspects four of which are
- an integrated Bothness(Duality),
- an integrated Bothness/Andness (Trinity-Unity),
- Flow and
- Highness/Bestness.
None of this would be to acknowledge a particular faith, or lack thereof. If one was a Christian they could take 3-15 minute opportunities to contemplate the first two which are basically the scientific and spiritual mindsets integrated, and God’s Grace. If Buddhist the same first two and then they could contemplate Flow and Highness/Bestness as in the Bodhisattva ethic of Buddhism. Each religion or sect could do the 3 aspects which are agreed upon generic aspects of spirituality plus the fourth that identified with their specific faith or lack thereof.
Modernity is much less focused and increasingly much more “distracted from distraction by distraction”. This is not good according to all of the wisdom traditions and sages of the remote and recent past. So it needs to be confronted and handled in as intelligent and gracious a fashion as possible. Even a cursory study of both religion and science shows them both to be inadequate ideals/mindsets/ethics upon which to base a human beings philosophy of life. Integrating both the scientific and religious-intuitive mindsets is thus the correct thing to do. And remember an integration is a combination of only the truths, workabilities and applicabilities of opposing ideas/mindsets so neither the scientific nor the religious-intuitive perspective is able to claim ultimate reality alone. This is the combinatorial and expansion/inclusion/ascension aspect of an integration. And of course this is why we need the above ethic of integration/integrative mindset (the integrated Duality aspect of the Cosmic Code) to re-inforce the awareness and importance of that integrative mindset. Achieving the experiences of Wisdom has so many personal benefits. Benefits like increased knowledge as in data, increased usability as in the well known increased competence in dealing with worldly situations nature of Wisdom and finally the increased self knowledge aspect of Wisdom which builds self confidence in both the world and within and about one’s Self and one’s self expression
Wisdom has almost inestimable value both inwardly and outwardly. Modernity and modern human beings need it Let us pursue it with vigor and with post haste..
