False and/or merely biased one sided Dualities (like orthodox liberalism and conservatism) and monopolies (absence of Duality/false Trinity-Unity/Onenesses parading themselves as complete truth like the business model of Finance) are NOT integrations nor are they integratable. Only genuine/existing dualities/opposites/relevant dualities within triune processes /holistic descriptions are integrations/integratable and thus able to create Trinity-Unity-Onenesses.

The World, Intellect and Self Knowledge/Experience: Three Different Levels of Being
There’s the temporal universe, one’s mental reaction to it and one’s self awareness/consciousness itself. If one never contemplates the third element they’re doomed to relative surface thinking and understanding no matter the education. This is really unfortunate because there is an infinity of depth and elevation in the third that infuses the second and elicits reflective action in the first.
Posts on The SC Group
Me: An excellent understanding of both transcendent and temporally applied Grace Wally.
GM: Because you asked. I answer that The only honest answer: “it depends.” Imho. SC is not the New Dispensation and not divinely inspired. It looks good in paper, but so did the Holy Roman Empire. Fallen nature Always finds a way down. So I am skeptical of this pseudomystical rhetoric, but if you want to make that case to politicians you will probably need buy-in and endorsement from recognized authorities on scripture, theology, etc. In the US, thus might mean Billy Graham or Dr. Dobson or Pat Robertson, who have political movements and credibility behind them. In Catholic regions, probably the hierarchical Church, whose teaching falls in deaf ears, often, here, and whom many in the South still see in Elizabethan terms. The reality is that argumentum ad verecundiam works. If Trump announced a SC proposal citing logic of Grace and quoting any of us, the likely response would be, “Whodat?”. Considering that you want to make a frontal assault on what you call Puritanism, and the Puritans are heroic Pilgrims here, if you want to do it by propounding a novel interpretation of Grace, Faith & Works, you should probably enlist some strong, or at least credible, allies. I don’t see Moses standing on a hill with his arms up, do you? Which hill, where? Coincidentally, today the Mass Reading was Paul writing to the Thessalonians on the importance of working to ‘eat one’s own food.”
Chacun a son gout,
Me: Unfortunately….I agree with almost all of what you say there with the proviso that new ideas, or even old ideas that are applied to new systems are the ones that have historically had the greatest and most positive effects. Like the historical events and movements I referenced in the other thread. Again, I’m not disagreeing, only pointing at the historical precedent of third ways/applications.
Note: The post on the other thread:
Me: Yes, and memes that express new paradigms or aspects of same are potentially the most powerful. That’s why the idea of Grace the free gift changed the world spiritually in the first century, grace as in abundant knowledge with the Gutenberg press, Grace as in directness and freedom in the Reformation and Grace again as the free gift in economic and monetary systems…hopefully very soon.
The Absolute Importance of Philosophy is….
….that nothing ever occurs in the temporal universe until a thought, which is what philosophy is all about, occurs first. In fact, in the individual, if a thought about a concept does not occur, its effects will never exist for them, let alone become real to that individual. And if it does not occur to others it won’t generally exist either. Beyond this, if the concept is not contemplated it is tenuous and nebulous at best.
Everything begins and becomes real and self actualized by the creation and contemplation of thoughts and concepts.
Integration Defined
- A combination of only truths from apparently opposing viewpoints, and the deletion of any untruths in both/either as well.
- A combination of only solutions from apparently opposing viewpoints, and the deletion of any palliatives, unworkabilities or outright gifts to already dominant forces or entities. Note: There may be nothing but palliative “solutions” offered by both opposing viewpoints in which case the dominant forces/entities in both opposing viewpoints must submit to number 3
- A combination that betters all constituencies in any situation/condition and so is the best ethical result, over all even for dominant forces or entities, but that ends their dominance terminatedly and so integrates that force/entity ethically into the result.
Discerning and Resolving The Deepest Factor/Problem In Any Situation Or Temporal Condition
1 Look at the present power dynamics
2 Look at which one of those is chronically/continually in effect and effects the most people and situations
3 Look at the two presently advocated and opposing viewpoints and their solutions to that dynamic factor
4 Integrate the best, most ethical and most resolving truths in both/each of those viewpoints so that a third unified alternative truth and its solutions is created, and then implement policies that perfectly align with and effect that truth
A Good Affirmation For Politicians
I intend to advocate and implement policies that will reflect Grace and graciousness in all of its aspects.
Real Integrations, Real Wisdom….and the Wisdom To Act Upon Them With Grace In Mind
Apparently Trump likes getting counsel from both/opposite perspectives. This could be a real strength as it is also the process of integration and wisdom itself. The problem though is that he may only be getting the opposing perspectives of conservative orthodoxy. Social Credit is a true integration in that it is an integration of REAL opposing perspectives. Example: It integrates profit making systems with the gracious intention of socialism, namely economic democracy, and simultaneously deletes the coarseness and insensitivities that inherently arise out of capitalism as well as the tyranny that inherently arises out of totalitarianism. Real integrations, real wisdom, real progress arises only out of looking at genuine opposites….and then going forward with that wisdom.
The Cosmic Code: Cosmically Speaking and Looking
[ (Quantum reality is ultimate reality x Temporal reality is ultimate reality <-> A complete and graceful integration of the two is the third and actual ultimate reality ] = The wise and fully conscious viewpoint
The Intention of Grace Which Is Love and The Good In Action
Almost everyone has good intentions, but unintended consequences often arise out of their actions unless they have the wisdom to see clearly while balancing opposites and simultaneously pushing the never ending postulate of Grace which is the intention of Love and the Good in action.
