The perspective we hold, where we start our thinking from, determines the path we take, what we move towards, what we move away from; and ultimately what we create… bring into existence.
Perspective: There is an intentionality – an intended way of working of life and love on and within earth… the living earth… and within ourselves as well.
Starting our thinking from economics: When we start our thinking from economics we move away from value, away from virtue… away from ‘coming from above’-sourced and -nourished value(s). We move towards emphasizing the ‘work hard’ aspects of work ethic, and towards the diminishing presence of working ethically – working in come from above right and good ways. Thus moving ourselves away from essence – patterns of intent – and towards existence… more and more towards the materials, energies and desires of existence. Coming from and for existence becomes that which leads our thinking.
Whereas honesty is individually realizable, individually manifest-able; ethics are a systemic phenomenon… requiring the presence of ethics within the system as a whole, and within each and all of its systemic elements… an ethical way of working within the system; and within the role and ways of working within each of its elements.
When ethics, intentional ethics, are present within our ways of working and living, so too can integrity – wholeness within self and systems – be created and innerly experienced… a wholeness and oneness with intent. All of which requires love entering our processes.
