Dying death (ICA)

This is experienced when a person sees that he will have to give his entire life to the issue to which he is committed, when he knows that he will die anyway, and that the question is not if, but for what. An example is the scientist Picard who, having designed diving bells to explore the ocean bottom and balloons to reach new heights in the atmosphere, used them himself as a demonstration.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of acting out one's deed (the life of doing) the first formal aspect is surrendering one's self to one's unique calling as a person. At the fourth phenomenological level this occurs when the unique greatness of one's expenditure is embodied.
