"There is no obligation to recognize the supreme being,
but those who want to
shall be free to symbolically recognize the all-ananic.
They shall not worship a god or other being
that offends, or has offended, against the Norm.
And they shall thus transcend both theism and atheism.

No-one shall honor or dishonor those who recognize
the all-ananic supreme being, and
no-one shall dishonor or honor those who do not recognize
the all-ananic supreme being."

The tenor of these ritual words is that no-one who believes in the neutral-inclusive ideals may give 'imself up to a dogmatic belief in which it has become more important to formally recognize the all-ananic as supreme being, or to formally adhere to the doctrine, than to be neutral-inclusive, than to be ananic and/or nanaic. The all-ananic is a symbol, and the acceptance of this symbol is voluntary. It is the norms of neutrality and inclusivity themselves of which the fundamental significance must be realized by every adherent of the DNI. When 'e does realize the significance of these immutable norms, 'e may still have the extrinsic right to recognize the personal authority of theodemonical beings or other beings responsible for the spread of extremism, exclusivism or supernaturalism, but then 'e does not have the intrinsic right to do so.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of the above ritual statement may be called "the formula of voluntary recognition" ( f.v.r. ), the second sentence "the formula of mandatary nonrecognition" ( f.m.nr. ). The second paragraph may be called "the formula of nanhonorable recognition" ( f.nh.r. ).

Unlike that of the all-ananic, the existence of the all-nanaic is indisputable. Since the all-nanaic is also a normatively inferior being, the question of its recognition does not play the role it plays with respect to the supreme being. In view of the fact that the supreme being must not be addressed or prayed to, a special facet of the all-nanaic is rather that it can be addressed. Like the recognition of the all-ananic, the act of addressing oneself to the all-nanaic is voluntary too. But the intrinsic right to address oneself to the all-nanan, or to a particular nanan, is at once the intrinsic duty not to address oneself to an entity like the supreme being. And just as the act of recognizing or not recognizing the all-ananic is nanhonorable, so the act of addressing or not addressing one-self to the all-nanaic is nanhonorable as well. All three formulas are present in the following ritual statement about addressing oneself to the all-nanaic:
