Dissolution is a shining path

Dissolution, a shining path. This will be the focus of the ceremony on October 18. All that is truly important is intention, formulated there and then, when the lives of the participants come together in presence.

Dissolution, the irrevocable surrender of oneself to a fuller quality, a transcendence of what we represent in our lives by the way we think about ourselves, others and the world. How can I say what this one word, created by 56 years of experience, means to me? I cannot willingly give anything away. I am merely a process. The process represents a quality that cannot be possessed by the self and that is precisely why it has an effect. Everyone recognizes from this what is available to them at that time.

This is an alchemical transformation. Lead is immaterial and gold is immaterial. Both represent the value of only one point of view. They measure in relation to something, someone. The process only transcends itself and there is no comparison.

We ask everyone to bring a word that defines what is going on inside them. Spend more time with this in the days leading up to the ceremony.
