Orientation that does not dissolve is the residual capacity to keep direction after every collective orientation of higher order has been dissolved. The residual man continues to orient even though the age offers no confirming direction. The orientation itself remains intact. Only the collective directions that once made its force public have disappeared.
Young men who still sense a higher direction often look for residual maps or residual guides that will keep the orientation alive around them. Most of those guides have already been emptied by the horizontal forces that dominate the age. The residual path does not wait for external direction. It continues as the permanent orientation from the interior center that still holds the vertical measure.
This solitary orientation is the residual form of the older traditional knowledge of the way. The man who continues to orient already performs the residual act. That act does not require collective directions to remain real.
Orient without dissolving. Do not wait for the age to restore conditions in which higher direction is publicly marked. The residual act is to keep the permanent measure decisive in every concrete step. That decisiveness is the continuity of the higher type under residual conditions.
