Triadic Philosophy

Triadic Philosophy is a universal understanding based on the root triad Reality Ethics Aesthetics
Reality is the universe that we both know and do not know It is the reality within which all evolves Reality has within it deep patterns that suggest mind unity and direction Reality is the source of signs words and ideas
Ethics is the realm that stands between us and reality It is the filter or colander containing the elements by which we arrive at actions that make up our lives The failure to cultivate this realm and its subordination to philosophies that reject the following premise is a telling explanation of the follies that Triadic Philosophy overcomes
Within ethics there are four values which Triadic Philosophy sees as ontological as a deep pattern in reality The root value is Non-idolatry Its active companions are Tolerance Helpfulness and Democracy
The Internet is stunted in defining helpfulness it equates helpfulness with being of use That is a substantial reduction of meaning Helpfulness is at very least the active face of all social existence It does not take much thought to deduce the following related terms
Listening Sharing Teaching Assisting Consoling Befriending Rallying Sympathizing Cooperating Joining Encouraging Praising Recognizing Supporting Participating Recommending Tolerating Forgiving Defending Liking Loving
The grammar is important Ethics deals with doing not with stating virtues or characteristics like courage and honor The active terms listed above have meaning as actual events They are the scope of actual helpfulness

Frangoulis and Theodorakis are joined by musicians, including two bouzouki players, and a very large audience that is completely familiar with the words. The audience joins in at Frangoulis' prompt.

This is my very favorite Theodorakis melody. Those who know Theodorakis only for his "Zorba" music are in for a treat. When I was in Athens in 1966, for a short period of study with Constantinos Doxiadis, I knew nothing of Theodorakis. But about five years later, my friend Irene Vassos sang "Sto perigiali" to us. I have never gotten the tune out of my mind.

Later, when Irene joined our group to form a travelling company performing "New Rain", I learned to pick out a …
