The AoIn: Brief Explanation on The Agency of Interconnectedness

Life is a holistic experience because it is full of diverse organisms that must interconnect to manifest the ultimate wellbeing of the unit whole. This implies that our wellbeing is connected to the wellbeing of other persons, things and organisms. Therefore, when an individual disconnects from this collective to focus only on their wellbeing, they don’t only cause an unfortunate rapid and severe weakness in the ultimate wellbeing of the collective but an eventual depletion in their own potency. Interconnectedness is essential and fundamental to the process of securing ultimate wellbeing of any collective because it is that interplay of holistic and altruistic values of flourishment between subjects of any given collective.

Moreover, such vision of flourishment is that of wholeness, liberation, and reconciliation, so it can only be fulfilled when the interplay is performed within the values of equality, diversity, charitability, serviceability, responsibility, and accountability. However, this interplay, which represents our daily worldly duties must be encountered through the charismas of altruism, activism, pacifism, modesty, empathy and sanctity. Therefore, anyone that exudes these charismas becomes what we have conceptualised as the Agency of Interconnectedness (i.e., the AoIn, pronounced ai-uhn), because their interplay or exchanges with other people and the cultural schemas of society yields civic values of interconnectedness such as equality, diversity, serviceability, charitability, responsibility, and accountability. In other words, it takes people, it takes you and I to act in this interplay as agents to facilitate these values within the society to manifest ultimate wellbeing.

This shows that the role of the AoIn in society is self-transcending because it is committed to ensuring the wellbeing and flourishment of others. According to Abraham Maslow, self-transcendence is a state of human consciousness at high holistic levels (1971, p. 269) where a person apprehends their purpose of life to be that of interacting proactively with others as a vessel of interconnectedness to ensure the wellbeing and flourishment of all humanity and the environment.

So, in the state of self-transcendence, the AoIn maintains an awareness of moral excellence and ultimate good that keeps them well centred within the biopsychosocial and spiritual modes of their humanness. This awareness therefore inspires and empowers the AoIn to exude the charisma of altruism, pacifism, activism, communion, empathy, modesty, and sanctity.

But empirical evidence confirms that this charisma is yielded through the acts of oneness, peacefulness, thankfulness, helpfulness, forgiveness, blessedness, and resourcefulness. Thus, making these acts the building blocks necessary for moulding a person into the agency of interconnectedness.

In summary, anyone that believes in pursuing the ultimate wellbeing of society; anyone wanting to be well grounded in their biopsychosocial and spiritual self as the agency of interconnectedness must encounter their daily worldly duties in the acts of oneness, peacefulness, thankfulness, helpfulness, forgiveness, blessedness, and resourcefulness.
