Fractured personal identities contribute to conflict and corruption, underscoring the significance of comprehending identity, its expression, and its societal context. Identity encompasses existence, fundamental values, and purpose, ranging from the highly structured to the seemingly arbitrary. Identity itself initiates one’s core, which in turn produces virtues and ethics, molded by one’s values. Living those values—internalizing them—is virtue. Imminent in our discourse is structure, which we repeatedly encounter throughout our journey in spacetime, and such recurrence bespeaks a deeper order. We need to understand the nature of that order, how it came to be, and what it implies for our identities. The Voris method, particularly the Authentic Life Theme Assessment (ALTA), offers a coherent model of identity—demonstrating how one’s core generates fundamental values that give rise to life themes, all affirming an individual’s existence, distinctiveness, purpose, and influence.
