Hu

by Troy R. Bishop


Some say that at the dawn of time, finite creatures were isolated at various levels, with no possibility of higher direction or growth. Then the final Master Universe Architect eventuated, exhausting the potentials of absonity. With him came the universal quality Hu, subabsolute correlator of differential reality and enabler of finite growth. Then growth, of the Supreme and in the Supreme, began . . . .

Regardless of this story, Hu is recognized throughout the Grand Universe as God's gift to enable his children to overcome the evils inherent in partiality of viewpoint and isolation of purpose.

To be guided by an understanding of the smallness of one's place and the segmentation of one's perspective in the cosmos is to live Hu. Hu thinking recognizes the relativity of viewpoints when different ideas arise. Hu vision sees the boundaries of one's legitimate concerns with the affairs of others. Hu action refrains from forcing one's viewpoint or undertaking on another. Hu planning allows for differences and avoids the quest for forcible consensus, control, or uniformity. Hu ethics strive to nurture the self development and free will choice of others in a non-intrusive manner. Hu teaching avoids arrogance and absolute claims to answers. Hu giving offers but does not force acceptance. Hu teamwork is voluntary, not obligatory. Hu noninterference allows others to be responsible for their own actions, encouraging others to do what they--not onself--think is right. When Hu is imitated, it becomes a mere virtue, a meaningless form. Living Hu is nothing less than a recognition of universe reality.
