Year Fourteen

Aesthetic Exercises to Accept Judgement and Mirror the Judgement of the World

Fourteenth Year:  Justice

In this second year of the final phase, the initiate focuses on judgement in the formal structures of justice.  Now the judicial systems of the land in which the initiate finds herself may be utterly corrupt, partially corrupt, or imperfect; nowhere will they be pure.

The initiate should get herself involved in these formal structures, preferably as a judge, as a defender and interpreter of the laws.  (The initiate should note that becoming a law enforcement agent or a parking ticket officer are not viable options here.)  She should observe the extent to which the laws are ambiguous, the discrepancy between word and practice, the various pressures on interpretation, the subjectivity of the interpreters, and the manifold acts, subterfuges and conflicts that people engage in such that they encounter the courts.
