Level 9: "feels like wishing and waiting."
Oh, man... that is so true it actually hurts. I think I've touched levels 8 and 9 when I'm in prayer on rare occasions, I think.
I remained in thought last night after watching this. It is true, we are products of history and culture, and that will predispose us to particular conclusions accordingly, but I would oppose the idea that we are all in some ways correct for the place we occupy time and space. I believe that we ought to be tending toward ultimate truth, that primarily ultimate truth exist, and that the people in cultures and times move closer to or further from it. Personal merit could be considered to be the delta one achieves from where they began and inherited and where they ended up and passed on, including their influence on others to do the same.
All that to say some cultures truly are better, and the fact that we inherit something different shouldn't inhibit our promotion of what we truly believe is best, but we ought also honestly and humbly investigate the claims of other cultures.
