I am starting a New Religion, and in keeping with the philosophy of that religion it has no set name. You can call it whatever you like.
I will start by giving you the 13 commandments and explaining them.
1.Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Taken from Crowley. Each person must decide for themselves what path in life to take. No one can tell you what is right and wrong, no one can define everything for you. Seek your own truth and become truly free.
2.Do unto others as others do unto you.
Taken from the Satanic Bible. Treat people as they treat you. Being nice to everyone is unnatural, and unhealthy.
3.Without an individual sense of Responsibility and Self-Control true freedom is an illusion.
Do what thou will is not a call to anarchy and unlawful action. It is a call to greater responsibility and the creation of one’s own laws. To harm a person who has not harmed you is taking away their right to seek their own path.
Be free, but do not let your freedom interfere with anyone.
4.Without a personal code of Honor life is pointless.
Hand in Hand with the third commandment. Along with responsibility and self-control we all need a code to adhere to. Without guidelines we stumble into compulsion and true depravity. You do not need to try and create your code in a day, in fact it should be something that evolves through your life.
5.Seek your dreams and never let anyone tell you, you can’t do it.
Without dreams we are lifeless shells without true desire or goals. Never let anyone take away your soul.
6.Imagine.
7.Reality is an illusion of perception, perception is an illusion of reality. Seek to set aside the illusions and perceive truth.
Within everything there are lies, and truths. The trick is in figuring out which is which.
8.Individuals are more precious than any group, yet a group of individuals is useless. Find the middle ground and stand there as rock.
A person who is part of a group with no sense of self is a tool, an individual is true person. Yet someone that cannot work within a group as a tool is useless to others and them self when the need arises for team work. Find a middle ground between being able to be part of a group, but not losing yourself in it, and never move from that position.
9.without pain there is nothing to compare joy, do not avoid pain, rather learn it’s lessons well.
Pain comes n many forms, but it always has a lesson to teach. Do not seek out pain, yet when it happens do not ignore what it is telling you.
10.The worse lies are the ones we tell ourselves, seek the truth of them and free yourself, hard and dirty a job as it might be.
Before a person can seek out truth, one must learn to see lies. The hardest lies to see are the ones we tell ourselves. Find the truth of your own lies, then you can seek out the truth around you.
11.Morality and Ethics vary from every continent to the others, from every country to it’s neighbors, from each state and province to those around it, from every county, from every city, and from each person to another. Accept no notion of right and wrong except what is defined by your own code.
Morality and Ethics are different everywhere, and for everyone. What offends one will make another laugh. What one sees as normal, another sees as vulgar. Only you can really know what is right and wrong in your heart.
12.Never forgive the atrocities done in the name of absent gods.
Religion is responsible for most of the pain and suffering that takes place in the world. Perhaps only out stripped by greed. Never forget or forgive the pain and terror religion has caused.
13.Seek always wisdom and truth. No matter how painful it might be.
Even a painful truth is more desirable than a lie.
