Appreciative Inquiry 4-D Cycle
The positive-cum- spiritual inquiry action cycle works better for the overall development of human being. But spiritual injustice and fundamentalism are harmful for any nation. So, we should utilize the human- friendly spiritual core values by pummeling the dark side of it. This is the principal reason to converging development, science, positivity and spiritual wisdom together for sustainable development.
Before socialism and capitalism…
Advancing AI
Appreciative Inquiry is advancing towards common good values and interfaith by converging positivity, development, science and spiritualism.
This is one of the best ways to converge
the East and West.
Religion, science and social science are the branches of the same tree. We cannot detach religion and spirituality from science and development. Religion and spiritualism emerged before the invention of money, the dawn of capitalism and socialism. It is logical to converge the human friendly core of science, religion, positivity, spiritualism, and development for world renewal.
