Conversation and social intercourse not clearly essential are minimized in deference to higher aspirations. Altering social behavior among participants illuminates the true purpose of The Search. Emphasis is always upon vertical aspirations unhampered by ordinary relationships with one another. A WAY OF LIFE Only by self-generated effort within oneself and by sincere individual service to the ultimate destiny of humanity can genuine payment be made. In order to stress these requisites, there is no monetary payment for engaging in The Search at Northeon Forest.
Money is relegated to a place more appropriate to householding affairs.
This discourages those who cannot recognize intrinsic value unless marked by a definite price. It may also temporarily attract individuals who undertake nothing that requires sacrifice but who soon tire under the relentless pressure of The Search. This curb on commercial enterprise closes an avenue leading to spiritual deterioration and corruption. The absence of monetary concerns promotes feelings of reverence for and kinship with all mankind. There are intentionally no commercial or academic endeavors at Northeon Forest that require fiscal support.
