In the terms of a symbolic representation several thousand years old a doctrine is a vehicle that is to carry people across the water flowing between the land of mere being and the land of sheer perfection. This is in our present terms: a vehicle that is to lead us from the factual to the normative sphere. Once the other shore has been reached, the vehicle itself is not needed anymore. Taking the dharma with us on the other side would be as senseless as dragging a boat along after having attained our final destination. The sage of the ancient metaphor leaves the boat behind 'im in the stream.

The importance of the new doctrine, the DNI, lies in its being the carrier of normative information and denominational inspiration for all persons. It is a means to overcome external constraints, to surpass our former selves. Yet, once the end of neutral-inclusivity has been reached, the DNI, too, becomes superfluous. Since a mere instrument would only degenerate into an end in itself then, the sage adherent does, at that moment, not hold onto it anymore. It is the nonattachment of the final anagnorisis that will free 'im from the inconstancy of fortune, from the wheel of action and reaction.

After all, the ultimate, universal state of truth, relevance and neutrality is empty of any ideology, empty of any doctrine.
