Evolution changes everything. True. But in the processes of change there are constants that secure identity, continuity and interdependency. The ultimate constant is LOVE, the encompassing spirituality by which we come to truth, self-discovery and the meaning of trust. The crises of our times are failures of love, failed accommodations of faith and reason, and of religion (spirituality) and enlightenment (secularity).
The wars between Enlightenment technology (rationalism) and dominion spirituality (fideism) underlie in part today's antagonisms between the Christian West and fringe Islamic radicals. The hyped rationalism of secular technology needs to temper its overreaching passions with the spirituality (metaphysics) of Love, the empowering virtue of cosmic inherency and coherency. When people fail in intentional pursuits of symbiotic coming-together, Love fails and terrors prevail.
Ordering the sub-atomic/atomic deep heart of substance-relationships are wave/particle linkages (harmonics) which give form and function to evolving changes. Inherency (internal continuity) and coherency (subject-object codependency) account for the permanence and sustainability of evolution. Inherency is the glue of individuality, people. The scripture of life is coded in individual genetic texts of CTGA sequenced uniquely in individual DNA helices. Coherency is Love's symbiotic bonding of purpose, intention. "Naturally", the radiant fields of inherency/coherency are essentially correlated, intelligently intentional and purposeful, and by which Love's permanence and continuity are more deeply implicated.
Inherency/coherency is deep energy/matter-bonding that puts substances in the relationships of being means and end to each other. The evolving processes of inherency and coherency endure universally with all by way of communication, consciousness and conscience. In the energetic process of communication windows of connection are discovered (consciousness); the opportunistic accommodation of energetic linkages serves sustainable outcomes. For the human person, who possesses the intentional intelligence of self-reflectivity, the choosing of sustainable outcomes is an imperative of emotional/rational conscience, the accommodation that safeguards Love's continuity in the iterations of communication-faith and consciousness-hope.
The hyped fideism of dominion theology needs to be tempered by rationality even as the hyped rationalism of secular Enlightenment needs to be tempered by the moral sensibility of faith. Now published is THE POSSIBLE JOURNEY, Uncompromised Trust, which focuses on roots of societal violence in religious/secular conflicts now threatening common wellbeing and survival. Civil harmony and symbiotic mutuality are victimized by intentional fixations on both sides, as are personal self-realization and economic/ecologic sustainability.
These ethical issues are universal in character and rank above the denominational ideologies of adversarial religion and politics. These issues call for universal good-faith on the part of all people. Crises of adult living require a faith that is morally equal to the problems beyond the simplistic faith of childhood. THE POSSIBLE JOURNEY informs adult faith in universal religion and cosmic priority. [More information is available at www.secondenlightenment.org and at www.AuthorHouse.com]
