rites

Running into the wall is one of the rites of passage of figuring out how to work.

I have entered said churches and have (accidentally) insulted them by refusing to partake in their rites.

The Medici Aesop - The New York Public Library Futurist Manifestos - Umbro Apollonio Scatalogic Rites of All Nations - Captain John G.

Those who are victorious in war Should follow the rites of funerals.

Based on public statements and hackathon reports I think MinimaLT will be released this semester (development is coordinated from rites.uic.edu).

Like I said elsewhere, there are very few rites of passage left in our society.

A good control study would be somewhere where male rites of passage still exist, but men also still go to war (most conservative Asian societies for example).

They all engage in the same behavior, have their own rites and colors, and a shared identity and sense of loyalty to bend the rules for one another.

Alternate rites of passage, I would think.

In this society you wouldn't necessarily have to believe in the myth to follow the rites and take part in the festivals, the benefit being the creation of a sort of a lowest common denominator of cultural unity (compare to Shinto in Japan).

I was neither with a cohort of friends my age I could relate to and could relate to me, nor did I get to share in the typical senior year of high school, and freshman year of college rites of passage.

My advice here might be a touch controversial - forgot bowing, kneeling, scraping, and "paying your dues" via rites of passage.

"Sometimes religion is the carrier of some of these taboos and rites, and sometimes it is not." Agreed.

I've played sports my entire life (father was a basketball coach), and in that world these sorts of "rites of passage" are common place.

("I trusted him enough to get piss-drunk with him back in school, so I should trust him on a $500-million deal.") Soft extortion is an extremely powerful force; it's why fraternities use humiliating initiation rites.

Confucius might not have said much about the Sky, but he constantly emphasized the importance of the Rites.

You could skip the first two books and start with Equal Rites.

Your respective starting points are Equal Rites, Guards!
