III. Society's Values Categorized by Spiritual Powers

Here is another view of many of the above values, categorized by fundamental spiritual powers of existence. (Some values appear in more than one category. Others that are listed once may also deserve to be related to another category to some degree.) Let us say that a collective - e.g. a family, a community, an organization, a state, nation, culture, or society overall - becomes aware that one of these aspects are seriously lacking; such as a deficient sense of Oneness in that collective. An effort can then be made to understand, appreciate, focus on, and implement a handful of the values that fall under that spiritual power. (In this case implement cooperation, coordination, consensus, etc. under the spiritual principle/category of Oneness).
