The Pyramid organizes what remains after weighing and winnowing. But the harder discipline is not the sorting. It is what a practitioner says, and does not say, when a Fellow is deciding whether to let something go. This episode examines the three tiers of the Pyramid, the three forms of release, and the language the method uses when materials cannot be placed conventionally.
Learning objectives.
- Describe the three tiers of the Pyramid, Release, Hold, and Trove, and the question each answers.
- Distinguish naming that release is permitted from pressuring a Fellow to release.
- Identify the three forms of release, donation, gift, and ceremonial parting, and when each applies.
- Apply the working language the method uses for materials that cannot be placed conventionally.
