Ritual living is centered around the
practice of sensual immersion.
The five common senses of touching,
tasting, smelling, seeing and hearing can become, individually and combined,
ways to sensually immerse and so break through to that ecstatic
heartfelt "more" which so many desire.
Through Earthfolk rituals which
imagine and image the Other as precious,
each sense opens to the fuller sensual preciousness of
the Beloved.
Practically, Earthfolk
became aware that they could
only learn, know and fully be
through sensual immersion, that is,
through opening to express and receive
preciousness
within a nurturing embrace.
For example, Earthfolk practice "living
as if I am no one's enemy" through a ritual of
inviting.
Inviting is a relational act, not something
which can be experienced solo.
Although you begin the practice by first becoming
aware of your own particular presence here on
Earth, by becoming aware and honoring yourself
as one who sees, hears, smells, tastes and touches, you do so
to prepare yourself to be seen, heard, etc. The objective is
to activate your senses so that the human sense emerges,
that is, the simultaneous sense of yourself
as both specifically individual and as a communal member of
the Forever-Family.
