We believe that the ultimate path of spirituality is to apprehend supreme good (summum bonum), which the Aristotelian mind conceptualises as eudaimonia i.e., beatitude, flourishment or ultimate wellbeing.
​
However, beatitude or ultimate wellbeing is only apprehensible when we pursue life as a holistic experience of interconnectedness that unfolds in a self-transcendent interplay between people. In other words, to apprehend ultimate wellbeing we must become the agency of the interconnectedness that unfolds within the interplay of our daily worldly duties.
Therefore, as the agency of interconnectedness (hereafter referred to as, AoIn, pronounced ai-uhn), we function in self-transcendence which is an expression of virtues and charismas of altruism, activism, moderate ascetism (modesty), empathy and sanctity.
Moreover, these interplays or exchanges with other people and the cultural schemas of society yields civic values of equality, diversity, serviceability, charitability, responsibility, and accountability.
