We are occasionally asked if it is possible for someone to live our way of life without active participation in a group. The answer is that it is possible but very, very difficult; the few who. have succeeded in doing it generally acknowledge that a vital element is missing.
The commitment to our way of life, which is made at the end of candidacy, does not signify that a goal has been achieved and all lessons learned. Rather it is a sign of willingness to undertake a journey that will be lifelong.
