Just as there is unity in diversity
There, too, is diversity in unity;
Unity in diversity is nationality;
Nationality is basically a society
society is a diversely united reality;
Reality is change and being at once
reality becomes another as it changes
But never into another does it change.

Diversity in unity is identity
identity is the individuation
Individuation is the difference
Difference is the independence
independence is evolution
of the individual in diversity.

Evolution is either constructive or destructive
Constructive if directed with wisdom of a creator
destructive if directed with wisdom of a dictator;
A creator is a leader, not a dictator who’s destructive.

Wisdom is the power from above but is operative
quantitatively or qualitatively in the representative
of below; a leader is not a god above people
but a priest representing not God but people
who, as a movement within Divinity above,
seeks to live below like Divinity above
so that as it is above, so it is below.

Divinity is the primal mystery
manifested in the multiplicity
of and activities of beings,
whose ‘experiential abstraction’
(or a mere self-extrapolation?)
shows creatures as participants in the ALL
who is the True All in and above all
Who is the Divinity.
man who is the trinity
participates in the Divinity
through sacrifice
and presence
and belonging
of being to being – (man to man!)
