Integrity

Integrity is wholeness; entireness; an unbroken state; the entire, unimpaired state of any thing, particularly of the mind; moral soundness or purity; incorruptness; uprightness; honesty. Integrity comprehends the whole moral character, but refers especially to uprightness in mutual dealings. The moral grandeur of independent integrity is the sublimest thing in nature, before which the pomp of eastern magnificence and the splendor of conquest are odious as well as perishable. Purity; genuine, unadulterated, unimpaired state." Integrity is related to the word, integer, which is defined as "the whole of any thing; particularly, in arithmetic, a whole number, in contradistinction to a fraction. To integrate, also related to integrity, is to renew; to restore; to perfect; to make a thing entire.—Webster’s American Dictionary

“To have integrity, you must be integrated—body, mind, and soul.”—Edna Lister

Being a person of integrity means that you possess the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. To be integrated is being whole and not divided. Your personal practice of integrity must be steadfast adherence to a code of moral or ethical values, and incorruptibility. Integrity is an absolute and an abstract principle, a law of being and of doing, and a Via Christa Degree.
  Integrity is the complete integration of mind, soul and Spirit in a syzygy of consciousness. Integrity is a law of doing; you are required to act in an integrated way, in alignment with your Source of Being and thus inspire others to be confidant in you.

If you wish to use overwork and outside pressure as an excuse for your lack of awareness, then remember that it leads to the black pit of regression.

It takes no time to treat words another spews out, saying, “Let there be Light.” Your whole life must be founded on a burning, consuming desire to be multiple-minded in awareness. It is all a matter of practice. You have a picture of how not to do it and of how to do it in complete awareness and integrity.—Edna Lister, October 30, 1969.
