Concerning feeling and religious performance

3 If a teaching inviteth action, let the action be named in terms a participant can actually try.

4 Let not the number of pages be counted as the number of practices completed.

5 Yet condemn not the person who readeth for pleasure, or resteth without a lesson.

6 For chosen rest is not an unfinished productivity assignment.

7 Let the participant distinguish an intention, a promise, an attempt, and an observed result.

8 If a practice is unhelpful, allow it to be changed or set aside.

9 The Society shall not infer enlightenment from a click, nor failure from an honest departure.

10 A lesson hath served a person when it becomes useful to them; the ledger needeth not possess the moment.

1 Let no gathering require a participant to manufacture wonder.

2 Tears, calm, tingling, and silence are not admission papers to belief.

3 Neither shall the absence of an expected feeling be announced as resistance requiring correction.

4 Ask about comfort, preference, consent, and access before assigning meaning to a response.

5 Let no quiet afternoon be called a failed revelation.

6 If a person speaketh of distress, do not explain it away as a necessary spiritual stage.

7 The Society’s exercises are not substitutes for qualified care, and its hosts do not diagnose those who attend.

8 A person may appreciate a capacity without claiming a superior rank; they need not pretend to be incapable in order to be humble.

9 Let acceptance precede the performance review.

10 And when the bell is finished, permit the bell to have been enough.
