Abounding abasement (ICA)

This is experienced as continually raising the question "What does this other person need ?", in whatever situation and whoever the other person is; when one gives up the necessity of acting out one's own standards of behaviour and propriety. It may be compared to the situation of at the end of Charles Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities".

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of knowing one's disengagement (the life of poverty) the third formal aspect is being nonchalant about one's relations. At the third phenomenological level, this occurs when one is able to so value the gift of life that nothing else is needed for one's fulfilment.
