"Each aspect of the Ethics of Unity can provide us with a higher perspective to observe our behavior in relation to our life and to our work, and also will give us a way to redirect the behavior of our family, work or group."
—Oscar Ichazo

Oscar Ichazo's book, BEHAVIOR, Why We Behave the Way We Do, presents the two clear examples of higher and lower behaviors, which advance our understanding of their innate orientation and subsequent manifestations.

"The Ethics of Unity act as an antidote or a force to counteract the lower behavioral presentations of the Immoral Force…. By awakening this knowledge that is already in us, the Ethics of Unity will be available to us to apply in our everyday life.”
—Oscar Ichazo

This book provides us with the understanding of Ichazo's perspective on how higher and lower behaviors actually manifest and how this understanding directly influences our lives and our orientation toward the higher States of Unity. This information is presented clearly, making it an easy reference to keep in mind in our daily life, giving us the ability to recognize our behavior and the behavior of others as well.

The outcome of becoming familiar with Ichazo's teachings about the higher and lower levels of behavior will give us a direct and realistic understanding and explanation of the fundamental ground of why people behave the way they do, opening knowledge to apply to many aspects of our life for the betterment of everyone.

"The Ethics of Unity make available to us the actual energy working throughout our lives, guiding us in the right direction and reflecting a higher ethical behavior…. It is the orientation toward Unity that gives us the opportunity to embody knowledge from the point of view of an ethical understanding."
—Oscar Ichazo"

FINDING PERSPECTIVE
Being able to identify your behavior or the behavior of others gives you an advantage in knowing what's going on at any given moment. Having the two clear examples of higher and lower behaviors in mind, you can apply this information on an ongoing basis. As time goes on, you will continue to deepen your understanding of the innate orientation and subsequent manifestations that make these behaviors easy to recognize, giving you knowledge to apply in your daily life.

BEING INFORMED
How does this give you an advantage? By clarifying the higher and lower behaviors in yourself and by identifying examples of your own behavior and that of others, a higher perspective is attained, and we are no longer uninformed about the manifestations of our own behavior and the behavior of others.

REMAINING NEUTRAL
You might be inclined to want to change someone's Immoral Force projections about a particular situation, but it is suggested that you observe this behavior and not engage in an endless process that your attempt might provoke. By remaining neutral, you may give the person the space to reword their originally projected opinion or reaction, if that is their orientation.

"The Ethics of Unity act as an antidote or a force to counteract the lower behavioral presentations of the Immoral Force."
—Oscar Ichazo

THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION
The nine points of the Immoral Force are demonstrated in our life to one degree or another, and we all have higher and lower aspects of behavioral patterns. It is the orientation of Unity that gives us the opportunity to make conscious choices with the knowledge of these patterns from the point of view of recognizing both the higher and lower levels with awareness.
