Submissive obedience

Description:

This is saying "yes" to a situation in order to be able to participate in it and bring about change; when an individual decides to be obedient to the present situation for the sake of bringing about a new situation. An example might be being called upon to play a number of roles in obedience to changing situations - as a mother or father, husband or wife, an employee or employer, a home owner, a car driver, etc.

Context:

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of acting out one's engagement (the life of obedience) the first formal aspect is embodying peace as the establishment to enable the ordering of human affairs. At the second phenomenological level this occurs when one recognizes one's obligation to the rest of mankind.<

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.

Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.
