Where does Abba's Way Fit in to Triadic Philosophy?


Few have heard of  Triadic Philosophy and Abba's Way
but I hope in time many more will
Triadic Philosophy is a universal philosophy
Abba's Way is the way Jesus taught 
Triadic Philosophy is a Kindle book
Abba's Way is available in all formats

Triadic Philosophy builds on
triadic thinking which is thinking in threes
an idea developed by Charles Sanders Peirce
Triadic Philosophy begins with 1 Reality
passes it through 2 Ethics
and emerges as action or experiment at 3 Aesthetics
Reality > Ethics > Aesthetics

Abba's Way belongs to the Second - Ethics
It is the way Jesus taught
not the largely false religion Christianity
Abba represents Jesus' playful 
arch designation of Reality
Mystery always unfolding
Unnameable
Abba means the familiar father or dad
someone with whom we can converse
And we do
The prayer Jesus taught
and the gumption to converse directly with Abba
is all one needs to embark on Abba's way

A strong inference
almost a deduction
from Jesus 
is that he taught the
root value of Non-idolatry
(iconoclasm, our confession of 
ignorance before mystery) 
and the active values of
Helpfulness Tolerance and Democracy
The rights of all
Justice for all 

That way has been trampled 
The name of Jesus has been applied to 
acts that are heinous

Triadic Philosophy will evolve us
beyond war via democratic revolution
And it will help make the practice of
forgiveness a political act
It is after all a contractual obligation
in the text of the only prayer 
that Jesus ever taught
No one can be forgiven
without forgiving others

"Sto Perigiali" One of the Surpassingly Best Tunes Theodorakis Has Written

A Setting for a Poem "Denial" Beloved by the Greek People by the Nobel Prize Winning Poet Giorgos Seferis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhk0ckaCxDI
The remarkable video at the link above is of a performance of "Sto perigiali" Mario Frangoulis and Mikis Theodorakis in 2001.

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 …
