Decisional nothingness (ICA)

This is putting one's own self in right perspective with the overwhelming awe one has experienced. It occurs when a person has chosen to no longer seek for significance in his life and may be compared to Gandhi putting on a dhoti and spinning, or to Saint Anthony leaving a comfortable life and going to be a hermit in the desert.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of knowing and doing intensified in one's life (life of being) the first formal aspect is the experience of transparent selfhood or the experience of noughtness. At the third phenomenological level this occurs when a person disciplines his life to be related continually to the experience of nothingness.
