"...There are varying degrees
of evil.
We urge you lesser forms of
filth,
not to push the bounds and cross
over,
in to true corruption, into
our domain.
...For if you do, one day you
will look behind you
and you will see we three, and
on that day you will reap it.
...And we will send you to whatever
god you wish. "

*Jarrod sighs and starts to recite monotone*
the Eight spokes of the Wheel. Number one is
Pre..... Prevabhnava.. *mutters 'fucking names'* We testify to the existance
of a Cycle of Birth, life, death and rebirth that prevades the cosmos with
it's rhythm. We testify that the souls of humankind and all animate beings
are constructed through this Cycle toward an eventual end. We testify that
this
Wicked Game says:
Cycle is the law of the universe. We swear to
supposrt this Cycle and prevent it's stagnation or Corruption.
Wicked Game says:
Number two. The Hiranyagargha.......... I swear
these names are a pain... We believe in the fundamental unity of all that
exists, and that Creation springs from One original source, to which it
will return. We further state that all animate beings carry with them the
pure seed of this original source, no matter how corrupt thier outter shell
may be.
GnarlyCranium says:
hirany.... herniayarga?
Wicked Game says:
yeah I know... I can't tell you what it means
I just had to learn how to pronounce it. Third spoke is Kala We avow that
Decay and Entropy are part of the Natural Cycle, and that all things must
eventually die and decay into dust so as to return to the womb of the universe.
This is part of our existance. We vow we shall not cause ourselves undue
pain in a futile battle against this principle.
Wicked Game says:
*he sighs again* Gopaya We ave been given power
into the insight of Purpose. To be guardians of humankind and the world.
This is out sacred duty from which we will stray only on pain of death
and destruction of our souls. We will guard the wheel and all those within
it, regardless of the danger to our mortal existances and the suffering
it may cause us.
Wicked Game says:
Yes I know. that sounds like we have a martyristic
creed in our rules. but it's there for dedication to the cause.
GnarlyCranium says:
...regardless of the suffering? thought it was
all about ending suffering
Wicked Game says:
We're ending others suffering. even if it hurts
us.
Wicked Game says:
In other words we're not supposed to keep someone
living and suffering just because we can't handle loosing them
Wicked Game says:
Ahem. Fith spoke. Sadhana. One cannot remain
pure without being controlled of the senses and the spirit. hence, we vow
to always seek our own spiritual betterment. We shall practice rites, sing
the sacred songs, and subject ourselves to trials to strengthen the body
and will. *starts to mumble* wewillresstthetemptationsofdesire, nomatterinwhichformtheycometous.
GnarlyCranium says:
uhhhuh
Wicked Game says:
Spoke Six Daya! It is impossiible for us to complete
our duty if we close our hearts to the suffering in the world around us.
To attempt such would be to open our doors to corruption and evil. Thus,
we must never close our eyes to the pain of others, or the pain our own
actions cause.
Wicked Game says:
*clears throat looking down* Spoke seven. Tyaga.....
We shall eschew action that created purely for our own gain, for such action
would threaten our souls and our duties.
Wicked Game says:
AHEM. *strongly* The Eighth spoke of the Wheel.
Diksha. One cannot properly enter a new life without a death. And one cannot
properly serve that which one does not understand. Every single one that
wishes to join our number must first walk on the other side of life. The
must lay curled in the belly of death and return to use before we may count
them in our number. Only this way may one understand
Wicked Game says:
the Cycle, Suffering and our duty to the living
to usher them through this cycle and guide thier way no matter the cost
to the waykeepers. we are the wheelturners and these are our Sacred vows.
