| This article is about a constructed religion. The religion has been created by users of Religion-wiki. It may have none, one or very few followers. As with every religion, it may be taken seriously by those who have created it, so please be respectful. |
This theology is made from the ground up and it is the first constructed religion for WikiReligion. some sections are under construction(rituals, words and objects), but the main teachings are mostly complete. Refer to the discussion page for FAQ, Sugestions and more.

[edit] Primary Teachings
- Chaos: The Concept that God is the reality itself. God is everything and in everything (So the word God is not referring to any conscious being)
- Chaos is not interventionist.
- Principle of Functionality: There is no concept of Good or Evil as perceived by humanity today.
- Faith or Willpower can channel powerful energy.
- Projection of Europa: There can be non-existant interventionist gods (as are the gods from most of religions, but you are aware that they don’t truly exist)
- Gaea, the Isoperfection: there is no platonic static perfection, but a dynamical search for perfection.
[edit] Divine Structures (Gods / Goddesses)
The names of the structures are taken from greek mythology, but they are not attached to that mythology. I borrowed only the names and they can be changed as long the qualities are preserved. If you get confused by the names, use ones you are more comfortable with, according to the descriptions below.
[edit] Europa (self)
This goddess has more physical characteristics than the others. Follows a path of freedom, pure individuality and symbolizes life and sexual force. She is curious, creative and free. She is present in everyone (regardless of your sex). She can be unpredictable, but it never abandons life and comforts those who accept it. Europa is also the pleasure of life. You can say (metaphorically) that every physical attribute is the image of Europa. She is fully connected with your desires and needs.
In a literal sense: Your body, your health, and your freedom should come to mind when you think of Europa
[edit] Chaos (friends)
This god is non-personal, asexual and non-interventionist. Its nature is pantheistic. It is immanent in the forms of Gaea and Europa. Chaos is the original creator god of the universe. He’s deterministic and has no mortal concept of good and evil. It doesn’t answer to magical power, but it is the only thing that maintains the universe cohesively together and functional. This god follows a path of pure collectivity or whole singularity.
Literally: The relationships you have with others you are close to like friends, lovers, family. Mental health is your most important attribute with respect to Chaos.
[edit] Gaea (others)
You can call Gaea a goddess for the sake of simplicity, but in reality she is asexual and formless like Chaos. But differently from Chaos, Gaea is personal and can answer to prayer and magical power. She has more spiritual characteristics than the other two structures and symbolizes the pure aesthetics. She is the goddess of knowledge and balanced emotion. Gaea also represents everything inside the universe (so she is pantheistic) and her special word of power is “ORARIN” – meaning equilibrium.
Literally: This represents your relationship to the rest of the world. People whom you may never even meet in person. Your best attribute here is your financial "health". And more and more your meaningful contributions to open-source and wiki projects.
[edit] Words of Power
Words of power can be vibrated by your physical voice or in your mind. IN DEVELOPMENT
[edit] ORARIN
This is the word for “equilibrium”. It is a special word related to aesthetics.
[edit] ISTIN
Meaning “still”.
[edit] Important Object(s)
I call this Triquetra special, because it isn’t drawn in its traditional Christian/Celtic form. The circles are fully drawn and the middle circle is present at the edges of the Triquetra.
[edit] Tricircular Forms (Rituals)
Feel free to add sounds, feelings and colors when you think it is appropriate. Once you use them, stick with the same visualizations every time you repeat a form, or change if you think it is more effective. This section is under study, so the effects of the rituals can be unpredictable. IN DEVELOPMENT
[edit] MEDITATIVE HEALING
Used for health auto-regulation and emotional equilibrium. Also used for increasing awareness and stop ageing (which may be reversible to some limited extent. Sorry, you can’t biologically be a teenager again).
- Comfortably sit in a chair or lie in a bed or floor (or in a natural landscape outdoors for maximum effect as long as it isn’t very cold).
- Close your eyes and eliminate any lateral thoughts that aren’t needed to healing.
- place your hands relaxed on your lap.
- There is a weak diffuse white light coming down on you and you will say the names of the three divine structures as their pillar of light are coming down on you.
- Say: “Europa” and the left pillar will strike.
- Say: “Gaea” and the right pillar will strike, intersecting with Europa.
- Say: “Chaos” and the back pillar will strike, completing the Triquetra on the ground.
- (The order is important, as Europa has more physical characteristics (thus closer to you in spirituality) and Chaos is the impersonal creator god (untouchable).
- Visualize the three pillars of light coming down to you, and you are at its center, where the light is whiter. They are intersecting and forming a triquetra turned forwards. The light is passing by you and filling you with energy. The interactivity with the energy is proportionally stronger to the degree of healing. The more it heals, the more you will feel it.
- Nothing can harm you, nor even ageing. Rest at this moment that you are truly safe and warm. Breathe the light and feel infused by it for as long as you want. Place good feelings (not strong or loud thoughs) in yourself.
- At the moment of deconstruction, don’t just open your eyes immediately. Say “ORARIN” with a vibrant voice. Slowly, while you feel the light strong inside you, make the exterior triquetra fade away.
- Increase your awareness of the real world and then open your eyes calmly.
DEVELOPMENT NOTES: Need to conduct more experiences to see if the meditation is effective. Recommended use time for now: once a day, 20 mins each or less. The first tests seem to indicate that the energy channeled is very strong and after the ritual follows a feeling of peace and rest. I don’t know what long term effects this meditation could have.
[edit] Theology and Beliefs
[edit] Beyond Good and Evil (the principle of functionality)
As said, there is no evidence for the existence of a real interventionist divine structure. If you look around you will see that people generally regarded as good are “punished” and people generally regarded as evil will escape “punishment”. As there is no evidence that this justice will happen in the afterlife, you can reach the conclusion that Chaos, the existence itself and the original creator god is not interventionist, and if he has any concept of good and evil, it’s not like our own. Imagine for instance (in a humorous kind of way) that you are in a café, drinking your coffee and eating your warm toast. Suddenly your toast falls to the ground with the butter facing down (so to speak, a catastrophe happens!) What determined the evil punishment that happened to you? We are all sinner, but can you relate these kind of chaotic punishment to your sins? No. The catastrophe of the falling toast was determined by Chaos. Given all the factors of mass, speed, angle, waves of energy, appearance of a random particle, or even a single subconscious though could influence the way the toast fell, but it fell the way as it should. The universe worked its way out and its function determine how things happen, independently if they’re good or evil. Chaos (or any other name you call it) imposes it’s functionality over our desires, our needs. No toast will rotate if we don’t want it to, no asteroid will disintegrate itself to stop humanity’s extinction only by the power of Chaos. Our universe functions the best way possible and I call this the principle of functionality.
[edit] Faith (the transcendent part of Chaos)
Chaos is a sea of energy, not endless, but not static either. I say that it is possible to manipulate our physical reality with thought to some extent. Some religious people today believe in miracles and miraculous healing. They are not delusional(well some are), it’s their faith (or willpower) that enables them to create alterations of physical reality in themselves or in their surroundings. Here I introduce Europa. This goddess is closer to you and is the projection of your desires and needs. Being interventionist is non-existent, but if your desires can affect the real world, then there is a possibility that they will happen. The image of Europa as a goddess is in truth, a way to help you project your willpower, mainly because human ways to project them are underdeveloped, so it needs helpers. This is the main reason for the existence of religion. Religion exists (originally) to aid humans in their life, so gods are created to help their faith. In modern religions and cults, that is mostly forgotten, destroying the true power of faith, making in uncontrolled, or controlled by one human leader. But if Chaos represents what is good for the function of the universe and Europa represents what is good for us, we have a combat here.
[edit] Gaea, The Balance of Isoperfection
The extent of the power of your belief, faith or willpower will be determine by how much you have, but also by Chaos. Because you can change the direction of an asteroid if you put enough faith in it, but that kind of manipulation may be violating enough rules to maintain the universe functioning correctly. Chaos is there to maintain the universe together, remember that. Here I introduce Gaea. She is the middle structure between Europa and Chaos. Gaea is the perfect equilibrium, always undefined, but your search for it will already enable an action to be this perfect equilibrium. You probably don’t understand this last phrase by now, but I will develop it later (I called it isoperfection).
[edit] Reasons
As you probably noticed, you can believe in this tricircular system and still believe in a different religion (as long as you are not close minded). This is because the tricircular system can be adapted to any kind of relationship to a god. For examples, in strict monotheism, all my structures are fused into one or only recognize only one of the three. In polytheism there is no direct relationship, but most of the divinities in polytheism are related to Europa and generally have one structure playing the role of Chaos. Some beliefs understand our non-interventionist reality, like atheism (recognizes only Chaos). Other beliefs, like neo-paganism and hedonistic philosophies give much more importance to Europa. The only difference is that most of religious people aren’t aware of this kind of relationship and do not unleash their true power. Most just limit them selves to follow what others say and what others do and do not give importance to their own experience (I wanted to stress over this “own experience” thing). What is best to you is what adapted to your experience and your perception, so the only way to make spiritual progress is to live mindful of your reality and search for an equilibrium between your desires and the collective desires, whichever the collective is, may it be Nature, the society you’re integrated in, a simple family or group of people.
