The Path to Peace

Having Dr. Harris there as a witness helped tremendously. He signed a death certificate citing natural causes, which prevented a lengthy investigation into Helen's disappearance. Dr. Harris joined our group, having witnessed Helen's last miracle. We will miss her greatly, but are carrying on her work every day.

Appendix 1 – Rituals

A note about all rituals: All rituals should result in orgasm for he participant(s). In the case of male participants, orgasm is easily witnessed. An orgasm is signaled by ejaculation. In the case of female participants there is less physical evidence. We rely on honesty to guide us. Women who have trouble achieving an orgasm should work with on of the instructors before being part of any ritual.

1. Masturbation: This is the first step an initiate must take to join the Path to Peace. Each initiate must freely come to the center of Sanctuary and masturbate to orgasm in front of the assembled group. The initiate wears a robe and comes to the center of the Sanctuary from the far end, away from the assembled group. This is the first time they are allowed into the central area, which is reserved for members.

2. Ritual Deflowering: Members demonstrate that their acceptance of the Path to Peace has been a physical rebirth. This ritual is the only ritual that begins with the member in street clothes. Members doing this ritual may be actual virgins or merely symbolic ones. This ritual is usually done the first time a member has intercourse in the Sanctuary.

3. Simultaneous Masturbation: This ritual is when two members masturbate together. The key to this ritual is for each member to enjoy the masturbation of their partner, without either one touching the other. The members masturbating must focus on each other, watching and learning about what their partner enjoys. This can be two men, two women or a man and a woman. A condom should not be used for this ritual unless the person being stimulated is known to have a sexually transmitted disease.

4. Manual Stimulation of Another: This ritual is the first of the totally unselfish rituals. A member chooses to manually stimulate another member to orgasm. The member performing the stimulation receives no pleasure in return. The member doing the stimulation remains robed throughout the ritual. This can be performed on a partner of the same sex or opposite sex. This ritual should be performed at least twice (on separate occasions), once for each sex. A condom should not be used for this ritual unless the person being stimulated is known to have a sexually transmitted disease.

5. Mutual Masturbation: This ritual is accomplished when each member participating manually brings their partner to orgasm while, at the same time, that partner is manually pleasuring them. Ideally, both partners will achieve orgasm at the same time. This can be two men, two women or a man and a woman. A condom should not be used for this ritual unless the person being stimulated is known to have a sexually transmitted disease.

6. Oral Stimulation of Another: This ritual is the second of the totally unselfish rituals. A member chooses to orally stimulate another member to orgasm. The member performing the stimulation receives no pleasure in return. The member doing the stimulation remains robed throughout the ritual. This can be performed on a partner of the same sex or opposite sex. This ritual should be performed at least twice (on separate occasions), once for each sex. A condom should not be used for this ritual unless the person being stimulated is known to have a sexually transmitted disease.

7. Mutual Oral Stimulation: This ritual is often described as '69'. This ritual is accomplished when each member participating orally brings their partner to orgasm while, at the same time, that partner is orally pleasuring them. Ideally, both partners will achieve orgasm at the same time. This can be two men, two women or a man and a woman. A condom should not be used for this ritual unless the person being stimulated is known to have a sexually transmitted disease.

8. Intercourse to Orgasm: This ritual involves 1 man and 1 woman. For this ritual to be completed, both the man and the woman must achieve orgasm during intercourse. Specifically that means the orgasms are achieved while the penis is in the vagina. Manual stimulation of the woman's clitoris or other areas is allowed, as long as the penis is in the vagina as the orgasms occurs.
