In the middle of the twentieth century, the universal historian Arnold J.

One of the four fundamental principles of concept formation in Integral Relational Logic. By using our Self-reflective Divine Intelligence in the coherent light of Consciousness, free of our mechanistic conditioning, we pay careful attention to the similarities and differences in the data patterns of our experience. As David Bohm points out, in general, we can bring our concepts into universal order by giving attention to similar differences and different similarities, a notion of order that the artist Charles Biederman gave him.

It is convenient that climate has both a geological and psychosocial meaning, for the climate crisis humanity faces today involves both these domains and our ultimate environment as the Numinosphere, Satchitānanda, and Le Milieu Divin, in Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s terms.
