· Personal Entirety

Respecting the human being in his uniqueness and originality as a whole:
- Respect one's "dignity as a person" being an absolute value from which inalienable human rights are derived.
- Acknowledge the unity of one's body-mind-soul
- Respect being a man or a woman and one's social relations in this regard with the recognition of equal dignity and rights.

 

· Geographical Entirety

In the sense of worldwide and concerning all people and nations:

Seeing humanity as a "family of peoples" in which we have to see the diversity of cultures, languages and religions as mutual enrichment, but also as a challenge for critical dialogue and positive development.

 

· Biographical Completeness

Acceptance of one’s own past life history as a whole:
Accept painful, culpable, unpleasant events from one's own past as belonging to one's own person and allow the associated emotional repressions to “come into the world”.

 

· Systemic Holism

Seeing the conscious and unconscious bond with relatives and ancestors as a network in which there are encouraging and burdensome feelings and repetitions of fate, through which one’s own life development can be nourished, but also be blocked.

 

· Inner-psychic Holism

Saying goodbye to the evaluation of feelings.

Considering the diversity and contrariness of one's own feelings as an organic unit.
All feelings - even the stressful and dangerous ones - are valuable signals from the soul that help us to better understand ourselves and the network of our human relationships.

 

· Ecological Completeness

Recognize our connectedness with animals and plants, with natural forces and natural elements as being the great organism of life in nature, as a network of reciprocal interactions and dependencies.

Develop a deep sense of belonging and responsibility towards the large community of nature.

 

· Historical Completeness

Recognize our present with its achievements and burdens as the result of a historical development:

Showing appreciation and vigilant concern for the hard-won and fought-for values and orders of our society.

Recognize previous problematic behaviors (e.g. in environmental behavior, in the understanding of authority, in the value system of the family, the economy, politics, religions, ...) and collaborate with patient perseverance on a contemporary change.

 

· Spiritual Holism

Understanding life as a gift and a task from God.

To know that one's own existence is held and supported by a comprehensive affirmation of life by God, who knows us to the very core of our being and accompanies our life's journey and our mental-spiritual maturing process with his love and with the challenges of his holistic view of all dimensions of reality.
