Nuance: Abjucation vs. Restitution
While restitution is often a legal or financial obligation imposed by an outside authority, abjucation is a voluntary, self-initiated process. It requires the individual to put their own hands and heart into the repair, acknowledging that a "check" cannot fix a "soul-deep" tear in the social fabric.
Examples:
In Practice: "If a Practitioner fails or causes harm (physical or structural), they must perform Abjucation—a direct, personal, and soul-deep effort to restore the balance through repair and acknowledgement of the error.
In Philosophy: "True justice recognizes that harm cannot be 'paid off'; it must be 'abjucated' through the direct energy and presence of the one responsible."
