Rituals
• Rituals are a helper.
• Starting Steps
• Their use lies in the training they give
• Preliminaries to values, but not the end themselves.
• Rituals are a bar.
• When made an end in themselves, they stop the transformation

Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could,
given what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand.

If you don’t...
• Either fanaticism or indifference creeps in.

Real-World is Messy
• Not a straight path.
• We are all in this personal discovery.
• Progressing upon Progress - Continuous Improvement.

How do I begin?
• From Near to Far
• Start with something that is very obvious, that which is within reach.
• That which is far is the goal.
• Take baby steps

Questions to ponder• Would you be able to apply this on a daily basis?
If yes, how? If no, why?
• What ideals would you like to manifest in you next?
• Is there a gap between inner values and outer action? If yes, how will you reduce it?
• Have you matched your inner nature to the psychological content of the job?
