Secondary integrity (ICA)

This is giving up the last of one's own values in order to honour the values of those with whom one is engaged; when one cares so much about seeing a situation change that one can put aside even one's own satisfaction, one's own credit, in order to do it. It may be compared to Mahatma Gandhi setting aside his own caste concerns in order to attempt to unite the diverse castes of India.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of being the presence of transcendence (the life of chastity) the fourth formal aspect is spiritual creativity, in which one's entire being is devoted to guarding the spirit dimension of existence. At the third phenomenological level, this occurs when one's concern about existence expands indefinitely, such that the object of one's care cannot be reduced to any one thing, but is all of existence.
