The Integrity Trap: Why "Being Good" Isn’t Enough
Most of us define integrity by what we don’t do: we don’t lie, we don’t steal, and we don’t cheat. But what if integrity isn’t a moral code, but a structural state of being? What if true integrity is not so much about a moral code but is the condition of being whole and complete, needing nothing from anybody for any reason to be OK?
In this episode, Terry and Haydn Hasty dive into this revolutionary definition of integrity based on the work of Ron Smothermon. They explore why humanity is currently stuck in an "evolutionary blockade" and how our internal fragmentation between the mind, heart, and body are reflected in the chaos of the world around us.
This is not a conversation about being good. It's about becoming whole.
We discuss:
Why looking for external "props" is a sign of fractured integrity
The difference between disloyalty, opposition, and uncertainty — and how to move through them
Sri Aurobindo’s warning about having "god-like" technology (AI and nuclear power) while maintaining the emotional maturity of a caveman
The exhaustion of managing impressions and the freedom found in Integral Sincerity
Why nature is pushing humanity into a corner where living "divided" is no longer mathematically or spiritually tenable
