Disinterested collegiality (ICA)
Description
This is experienced on embracing a situation of human suffering as one's own, in order to change it, out of no other motive than care for the well-being of the people caught in that situation. It occurs when a person sets aside all other concerns and relations and gives himself to transforming the situation of suffering. It is like in the movie "Norma Raye" when a New York lawyer and labour organizer arrives in a town in the southern United States to organize the workers in a textile mill. There is no good reason for him to be there, in a very dangerous situation, except that he cares about the welfare of workers in textile mills.
Context
In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of acting out one's engagement (the life of obedience) the third formal aspect is embodying charity as the transestablishment to act out social concern. At the third phenomenological level this occurs when people willingly embrace their responsibility to society.
