There are so many aspects of our rituals that are so very beautiful. We should take the most beautiful practices from our past, and express them in today's ways to make our rituals meaningful and consistent with Zarathushtra's teachings. It would be neat if we could build on this by having everyone present also do the hamazor gesture with everyone around them at the same time, offering friendship. It tells me that the person who invented this ritual was trying to say that the sacred comes from all aspects of life. That is so neat.
Externals are most meaningful, when they express the core.
For those who want to keep doing things the old way, that's fine too. That's their choice. But in one respect we have to change. There is too much hatred and insult in the way we express our differences. Zarathushtra taught that the relationship between man and God is that of a friend to a friend or a beloved to a beloved.
