Particular concern (ICA)

This is experienced as an individual's need to find the way to act out his responsibility in the context of a particular time and place. It occurs when a specific concern becomes that for which he is willing to commit his life as a way of fulfilling his responsibility for all of creation, as when Martin Luther King decided civil rights in the United States was the issue to which he was going to give his life.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of acting out one's freedom (the life of prayer) the fourth formal aspect is one's experience of universal responsibility or intercession. At the second phenomenological level this occurs on recognizing one's own full participation in one's fate.
