History
For over a millennia there has existed… at the edges of the frontier, thriving on chaos, a band of heroes of old and new. An uprising formed in an opposition to the UNE/UPE/UEE’s constant over guidance of the human race. A hereditary line of merchant princes remain at the center of the uprising.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
The only order is the order we ourselves create.
We create order, but it is an artificial condition that only tentatively satisfies some supposed purpose in the universe around us. Any structure is fallible and must be exhaustively tested to expose potential weaknesses. No structure will, on its face, stand against all the possible forces of the universe.
Continuous ability to innovate is the only means to discover new opportunities. Of course, cultivating existing opportunities is a means to current prosperity, but cultivation is not the same as monopolization and exploitation. Likewise, innovation in human procreation does not mean control of genetic makeup. Innovation proceeds in the opposite direction from control, toward chaos.
Manifesto
Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.
Enlightenment is the global awareness that can develop through living in an understanding of the problematic nature of the self and the world that seemingly surrounds it. A self that becomes defensively entrenched, contracted and isolated, has no opportunity to achieve such awareness.
Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and it has power.
All creatures must carry some kind of destiny stamped out by purposes of varying strengths, by the fixation of experience and disposition. Any delusions of Free Will harbored now must be merely the prisoner rattling his cage. Our curse lies in the fact that we see the cage.
If you would possess your humanity, let go of the universe! Humans cannot bear much reality. Most lives are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the stable. You stick your heads into the stanchions and munch contentedly until you die. Others use you for their purposes. Not once do you live outside the stable to lift your head and be your own creature.
Because the universe of our existence is necessarily anthropomorphic, there must be realms that are inaccessible to human awareness. These realms become accessible when we expand what it is to be human.
Charter
Law is the ultimate science. Yet, for hundreds of thousands of years the human race existed without law. There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Humans live best when each has his place to stand, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things and what he may achieve. Destroy the place and you destroy the person.
There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors.
