The Articles of Faith of The Second Part

 

  1. We believe that the Council of the Kokaubeam guides us to truth, through and beyond time.
  2. We believe that the Council sees through their white stones darkly.
  3. We believe we are all co-eternal beings, created from intelligences that have always been and will always be; and that we will take on flesh, becoming eternal souls, destined to join the Gods as exalted creatures.
  4. We believe that a new world will be formed for us from matter unorganized, that we will call this new world home, and that this new world will receive a paradisiacal glory and become Zion.
  5. We believe that it is not meet for Zion to be commanded in all things, but that we must seek and taste truth, goodness, and beauty for ourselves, in order to enjoy this same sociality we now experience.
  6. We refuse to believe that any among us must inevitably refuse the promise of immortality and eternal life.
  7. We believe that agency cannot be destroyed and must be preserved.
  8. We believe that eternity is long, and that the work of Zion is not complete until we have all kept our second estate.
  9. We believe in the necessity of opposition in all things.
  10.  We believe in proving contraries, in rejecting binaries, and in finding and claiming truth, whatever its source–whether it be the noble and great ones, the children of the morning, or the Council itself.
  11. We believe in the edicts of the Council, the truth which has been discovered, and in the sacred texts which are yet to be written.
  12. We believe that we are among the noble and great ones, destined to become rulers.
  13. We believe, as we have seen on other worlds, that there is always another way to bring to pass our mortality and eternal life.
