Nature, Will, Government, and Freedom
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 1:55 pmON NATURE
I. The world being an ordered place, men have seen fit to call the Spirit of this Order by the name of LOFTAR.
II. But Order by itself does not make the world - for pure Order would be a uniformity, never changing or altering. Thus there exists another Spirit, that of Art, named JORB; equal to LOFTAR, different but not opposite. Those who will you to deny his existence deny their own. The existence of this spirit is felt throughout the world.
III. The positions of the Cliffs or Waterways of this world, and the movements of creatures, and the wasteful manner of Artifice are still not aspects purely of Order or Art. There is also Chaos, known wrongly as Disorder - for it is not opposite to Loftar, but different in degree and in character. The name for the Spirit of Chaos is ODDGOD.
IV. And yet, with this Trinity, the world is not yet fully described. For with these three alone we would be powerless to choose our own path. Thus their is a fourth spirit, Will, which goes by a multitude of names. This divinity is entombed within each person separately, and deserves more reverence than the other Spirits of creation.
V. These four spirits, oft together, oft against one another, describe fully the nature of the world.
ON WILL
VI. The Will exists separately in each person, thus it is not in fact one Spirit but many similar spirits, oft combining and separating with other, similar spirits. Which Will ought we revere?
VII. I tell you plainly, all of them, for though they be separate they are all similar in their divinity. But which Will are we most able to revere?
VIII. The answer is clear - that Will which is contained within yourself.
IX. Any person who lessens the power of your Will is against you, and any person who furthers another's Will at the expense of his own is against himself.
X. Anything which furthers the power of your Will is a powerful act. Anything which furthers the power of your Will and that of another is a yet more Powerful act, for all Will should be revered.
ON TREATIES AND GOVERNMENT
XI. Any man who seeks to rule over others seeks by definition to impose Laws, using an emanation of the power of LOFTAR to limit his subjects Wills. This is not a powerful act in and of itself, but it may increase the power of his Will, in which case it is.
XII. Accepting these laws is an act against the Self.
XIII. The virtuous are able to live without Laws, revering themselves, each other and the Trinity separately and together.
XIV. Thus there is no legitimate Government which is not able to be entered into or withdrawn from freely.
XV. Thus any virtuous Being rejects any Government, or Treaty, or State, which seeks to limit them.
ON FREEDOM
XVI. Freedom, or Liberty, for a being, consists in the ability to choose their own actions in response to and to change the world: that is, the exercise of their Will. Thus Freedom is in fact a condition of the Will.
XVII. Perfect freedom is not possible, just as perfection of any of the Spirits is not possible: they all limit each other.
XVIII. The object of the virtuous is to live with only Natural Laws that are not under their control: those imposed by the Trinity, and those chosen by themselves, for themselves, according to their Will.
XIX. The Will varies from person to person, in power and in character, but never is extinguished.
XX. I urge you all to fan the flame of your own Will and that of those around you, and defend Freedom against those monsters who seek to enslave you.
