Our Part
All of us
Are a Part
Of one shared Reality
I call God
Some of us
Know that
More deeply than others
Each of us
Knows something
Others do not
Life is about:
- Learning our Part (awareness)
- Appreciating others’ Parts (empathy)
- Helping each other do that (impact)
In that order
Over and over again
The Three Values
We fulfill our Part
By how well we Pursue and Trade-off
Joy, Glory and Love
- Joy
- Pleasure (happiness)
- Purpose (meaning)
- Glory
- Competence (skill)
- Worthiness (virtue)
- Love
- Belonging (be known)
- Service (be needed)
Our Roles
To manage those tradeoffs
We play many Roles
All of them
Are part of our Part
None of them
Are our Part
Happiness is playing
The right Role
At the right time
Joy is finding
Our Part
In the Part-y
Of God
The Meta-Crisis
Every tradeoff
Carries a price
Eventually
The bill
Must be paid
The devil
Gets his due
In the past
Those of Us with power
Made Them
Pay the price
But now
The world is so connected
There is no longer a Them
Only Us
There is no longer a Them
Only Us
#metacrisis
Hope
To move forward
Together
We must internalize
And reconcile
The excluded pain
That enabled us
To become Us
By creating Them
We must
Face the un-grieved
Grieve the un-faced
Think the unthinkable
Forgive the unforgivable
Which
Is impossible
Unsalable
Unconscionable
And yet
Unavoidable
Otherwise
We will destroy Us
In fighting Them
To reach the level
Of emotional security
Necessary to embrace
What we most despise
We must identify with
The worlds we fear
The cross we dread
The people we despise
Even as Christ
Died for Us
When we were Them
Epilogue: Zoasophy
To individuate
And connect
Is Human
To reconcile
Is Divine
#Christing
“We have to better understand who and what we are, individually and collectively, in order to be able to fundamentally change how we act.”
