Reformulation of self
Creating a self that would live elemental society into being
The goal of ‘reformulation of self’ is to become a person for whom friendship, beauty, the good, truth and the sacred are possible.
The great longing
The original human condition: full awareness of the vulnerability and freedom of being separate.
The great no
Renunciation of superficiality. We refuse natural or cultural determinism, superficiality and banality, psychic and spiritual numbing.
Challenge to identity
Senses of reality
There is an aperture which closes or opens, shutting out or letting in the true light. It is a fearless, exquisite aptitude that may be rarely achieved, but which is the universla birthright of humanity. Dimensions of reality we have the capacity to perceive: Truth, Beauty, Love, the Good, and the Sacred.
Cosmic passion
The goal of reformulation of self.
Commitment and Declaration of sovereignty
Instead of seeking change in institutions, let us generate it through who we become and who we are. In all our active life – in what we do, make, feel, think, and care about – we will bring into being the culture and society that we envision.
Living into being
Instead of political action, we assume the full scope of action we actually have that ‘lives into being’ the world we envision. It resolves conflicts spontaneously and directly, by simply being the response. We can reclaim the institutions which diminish our humanity, but this depends on our capacity to perceive transcendental qualities in static forms. This state of mind will naturally produce a corresponding state of society.
