PURPOSE
THEORETICAL PURPOSE
Provide atonement.
Atonement agrees with Csíkszentmihályi's concept of
"Flow"—being "at one" with deeds consistent to social (not personal) expression.
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE
Being aware.
To validate this website's principles, go to Being.
REAL PURPOSE
Connect.
Connect to concerns, go to Contents.
One behaves as one "should" to achieve a goal, or reach an objective. This
admirable personal consistency includes the tendency to ignore signals from
others who have different needs—sometimes detrimental to one's own.
The Labyrinth of the Spirit was created to help perceive both positive
and negative signals, create helpful habits, and make helpful life decisions.
