Companion

You find a primary connection in the community.

Companions, when involved with the rituals of their religious community, participate by experiencing them. Their being in community is almost more important than what actually happens in the time together. They sense connection more than they feel or create it. They have a direct primal sharing of being with others.

You relate without loftiness.

Companions have the ability to relate to anyone at any stage in their life and from any faith. They are able to relate without condescension. They are at the same time able to challenge the assumptions that others might have. Their being is confrontational enough for others to rethink what they deeply hold as true.

You affirm your inclusion in the universal global community.

They know themselves to be part of an inclusive and fulfilled human community. Their community extends universally. They experience no social bounds. They include without explaining why.

You let go of personal status.

Companions live lives of totally selfless love, uncompromised by concerns for personal status, comfort or security. They give themselves unconditionally for the good of the larger humanity. They accept a ‘forgetfulness-of-being.’
