The Root of Harmony

This episode reviews the importance of harmony to our human flourishing.  Harmony reinforces the notion that all the dimensions should not harm any other dimension but also that all the dimensions should work … together.  The effects of multi-dimensional living incorporating three or even four of our dimensions into all our activities result in full integration, human flourishing, and completion of our humanity.  Harms to a dimension result in dis-integration and a lack of flourishing.  Moral injury is an example where a harm to a virtue usually justice can result in dis-integration and psychologic harms.  Mindfully integrating three or four dimensions can be practically applied in nearly all of life’s activities including games, entertainment, and prayer which are all highlighted in this episode.
