The journey through Reason’s triple helix commences with Magnanimity, the first perfective virtue, which is to say it is the skill in reason to do with self-image. This virtue springs from the moment of Awareness in Honesty, born of extended moderation in the Eros domain of Resurrexit phenomenology. It is here that individuals recognise their true selves, distinguishing desired future identities from unwanted aspects. This process is not mere introspection; it is an ordering of forgetfulness, a deliberate choice to dismiss irrelevant and detrimental parts of oneself.

Magnanimity sets the stage for discourse work. The power and mastery inherent in this virtue are not about domination but about self-organisation for greater contributions to community and family. It is a realisation that personal actions shape history’s trajectory. This virtue teaches us to view the present not as an endpoint, but as a dawn of future narratives yet unwritten. Realising it is a World with such potential, who could waste time on unnecessary grudges or blame? Do. Be.
