This white paper integrates John McMurtry’s late works — Ways of Universal Life and Visions of Universal Identity in World Religions — with regenerative coherence frameworks that bridge ancient spiritual traditions and contemporary systems science. Drawing on Taoism, Confucian human-heartedness, Zen immediacy, and the radical teachings of Jesus, we explore the symbolic architectures of sacred coherence. We propose the TATi grammar — Tend, Align, Transcend, Integrate — as a universal interface for reactivating the life-value foundations of religion, medicine, ethics, and systemic design. By unifying symbolic recursion with ontological coherence, we outline a path toward a regenerative sacred that heals the fracture between spirit, symbol, and system. This paper serves as both a philosophical synthesis and a practical grammar for enacting life-aligned transformation across scales.
