Radiant guru (ICA)

This is experienced as always having someone or something that is with one, reminding one that life is a great gift and that one can dare to live it no matter what happens. It occurs on accepting that there is a reality that is not going to let one escape from the life one has. It may be compared to Martin Luther King's relationship with Mahatma Gandhi and his decision to use the strategy of non-violence.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of knowing one's internal sociality (the life of meditation) the first formal aspect is one's encounter with the mediator who pronounces personal absolution. At the second phenomenological level, this occurs when a person finds his selfhood audited by that which commands his attention.
