"Interspirituallity" is part of the "great intersubjective discussion" the world so desperately needs but to a great extent has never had. Science is a part of this discussion, as to how reality is experienced, observed, and described. ProSocial is especially part of this discussion as its goal is to promulgate prosocial behavior -- and behavior is greatly effected by the stories we tell and accept. Br. Wayne Teasdale, who originated the word "interspirituality" is famous for saying "The only viable religion for the Third Millennium is spirituality itself" and by that he meant the deepest of subjective, and objective, experience that lead to prosocial behavior. Let's explore the challenges, and assets, we share in navigating this directive.
