Essence Over Trappings


Hold absolutely firmly to the essence and let the trappings change at will.

When refurbishing the expression of essentials, it is critical to keep the invaluable essence steadfast, while clarifying its expression. The purpose of such refurbishing is to communicate the essence to be a new set of perspectives. Clarification must never change the essentials themselves. The point is to translate the essentials clearly into the receptor language, changing the housing of the ideas, while firmly maintaining the ideas themselves.

This maxim applies whether the ideas take the form of declarations or practices. The point must never be to hold firm trappings. The point must always be to hold firm the essence, while communicating it was clarity to those who don't understand the former trappings.
