I
All are born of the Primordial Ooze. We
eat, we die, we are eaten. All are equal in the mouth of a maggot.
All life has equal value, in life and death. Hierarchies are a construct, one that is often unjust or harmful. Reject hierarchy, and remain mindful of prejudice. No judgement of social status, economical circumstance, ethcnicity, gender, sexuality, or any other illusory division will be tolerated.
II
The lowest among us are the most exalted,
for wisdom grows from the wound.
All experiences are valid, and all voices may tell their story. Authority and power are not arbiters of truth, only valid reasoning by a collection of trained pattern-seekers may determine valid fact. This process is the scientific method.
III
The body is not distinct from Nature. All
bodily things are natural. It is yours to worship, adorn, or defile.
Only you have domain over your body. Autonomy of all medical or aesthetic choices are yours to have, with care to keep the colony of cells you really are healthy.
IV
Laugh at the Horrors of the Void, or be
the butt of the joke.
Humor is healing, but is also a weapon. It is your duty to be actively involved with your life. Fate is in your hands.
V
Have no mercy for
the wicked. From their corpses new grass shall grow.
Death is the final judge, so
revenge should be left to Time. You owe no emotional or mental space to
those who wrong you, positive or negative.
VI
Nothing is immutable. Beliefs must evolve as
perception widens. Always believe the hottest new thing.
Understanding of the patterns around us will change. the
patterns themselves are rarely constant, and are results of Chaos.
Science is the best method of decoding these patterns, but is not
infallible. Beliefs should be malleable and tempered with critical
thinking.
VII
Under Construction. Subject to change
Even these codes are imperfect. Take away what you like, view the rest as a joke, and add your own ethical frameworks and metaphysical beliefs at will. Even the Cult is not immune to Code VI.
