Submissive obedience (ICA)

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.

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.
