Quantum Caring Leadership- Integrating Quantum Leadership With Caring Science
Caring Science and Unitary Principles
Watson’s theory of transpersonal caring is guided by unitary philosophical-ethical principles of unitary of all healing is transformative through evolving transcendent consciousness. Indeed, CS is based on the ethics of belonging and the ethics of face, from Emmanuel Levinas, the French philosopher who posited the ethic of belonging as the first principle of science (Levinas, 1969; Watson,
2005). The ethic of belonging is consistent with the unitary paradigm that humans all belong to the infinite field
of the universe (Levinas, 1969) and are connected and belong to one whole. In his philosophy of ethics of face,
Levinas noted the face of other we encounter is irreducible and without bounds, whereby one person’s level of humanity reflects on the other—we are all connected Watson, 2005).

Table 3. 10 Caritas Processes (Watson, 2008, pp. 281-288).
1. Sustaining humanistic–altruistic values–practice of loving kindness-compassion and equanimity for self/other;
2. Being authentically present–enabling faith–hope; honoring subjective, inner, lifeworld of self/other;
3. Being sensitive to self/others, by cultivating own spiritual practices, beyond ego-self to transpersonal presence 4. Developing and sustaining loving, trusting caring relationships 5. Allowing for expression of positive and negative feelings—
authentically listening to another person’s story 6. Creatively problem-solving to “solution-seeking” through caring process full use of self-artistry of caring-healing practices 7. Engaging in transpersonal teaching-learning caring relationship staying within other’s frame of reference—shift toward coaching model for health-wellness;
8. Creating a healing environment at all levels—subtle energetic authentic presence 9. Reverentially assisting with basic needs as sacred acts touching the spirit of others sustaining human dignity. Opening to existential-spiritual, mystery, unknowns—
allowing for miracles.

Nursing Science Quarterly 31(3)
Watson’s CS, drawing upon Levinas, posits that the field of nursing as residing within the infinite sacred circle of life- death—all connected with and belonging to the universal, infinite Source (Watson, 2005, 2008). The notion of Source is close to what Phillips (2017) refers to as an “Energyspirit
the indivisible and invisible soul of the universe (Phillips,
2017, p. 223). According to Levinas’ (1969) work Infinity
Versus Totality, humanity will either evolve to a higher level of consciousness or humans will objectify, totalize, and destroy humanity.
Transpersonal caring theory posits a caring moment as transcending time, space, and physicality, connecting with the infinite field of possibilities (Watson, 1999).
Transpersonal caring consciousness affirms an evolution of human consciousness. This consciousness leads to the ability to affirm ethically and morally that humans all belong to the infinite field of universal love energy. This is the great mystery and sacred nature of human beings in the physical world yet connected with infinity-universal field of oneness of all (Phillips, 2017; Rogers, 1992; Watson, 1999, 2005).
