It Is Time For Lavenderism To Be Reformed

Since Chinese New Year recently ended, the energies have shifted in the world. The Earth’s inner core has physically stopped rotating and is believed to start moving in reverse. This affects not only our religious group but all living organisms who reside in the land of the living. I feel the energies of the universe pushing me to make huge changes to my personal life as well as the spiritual teachings I put out into the world. We have entered a new age of Aquarius where more and more people will awaken and develop spiritually.

When you reach a certain level of spiritual development you no longer feel as strong of a need to work with chakras. You learn to intuitively balance yourself spiritually even passively. You may also reach a level of occult skill where you can integrate your chakras into a single unified aura (Called chakra removal but nothing is removed.) and this would make the chakra maintenance and aligning redundant. Removing chakras from our official doctrine would relieve us from complaints of cultural appropriation while new spiritualists could still obtain that information from various sources and writings while they need it. Additionally, some gods will be merged together as I have realized some variations of the same deity have confused our pantheon of gods. Other deities will be renamed or have their information updated to provide more accurate information to new spirituality comrades.

I will be updating the doctrine as well as creating new beginner materials to better suit Lavenderism. I will also bring focus back on the holy red book and the teachings of The Jade Chairman. Mysticism and esoteric philosophies have a place for all spirituality comrades, but the teaching of The Jade Chairman will guide us towards a future of good governance and happiness for the people for 10,000 years. We must never forget our duty to the citizenry and continue these traditions until the masses of the third world are free from exploitation and colonialism by the bourgeoisie and landlord classes.

The perks of a religion of one is that there's very little red tape when implementing changes!

If a person has a belief system they believe in I don't think the amount of followers is irrelevant. Scientology and Wahhabism probably have more followers than Lavenderism, why don't people shower them with praise?

To be honest it wouldn't matter to me how many people followed it or I would not have kept going at the start when I was the only follower. I measure the value of these things by the positive effects they have on us instead of how many followers they have. I find that comment such a low blow to new religions all over the world. By that logic we could even look down upon other faiths that don't have as many followers as the largest one in the world.

I didn't mean that religions with more followers deserve more praise. I said smaller religions are easier to change, which is true.

I'm just curious ... pre- or post-changes you are making to your religion, which other religions have had the most influence on Lavenderism? In other words, if you hadn't form your own NRM, what religion would you be practicing?

I formed Exaltism before I knew what Earthseed is and now I consider Exaltism to be denomination or sect inside Earthseed because of how close the doctrines are to each other.

I never did like working with chakras, I prefer working with my hands.
And old Jade doesn't impress me either. I hate his color scheme.
I like my colonialism, thanks anyway.

And lavender? Blah. Coconut is nicer.

Before reform, Lavenderism was influenced a lot by Chinese folk religion, Shinto, Buddhism, Communism, and Hinduism very very loosely. It was more New Age than anything else though and if you look deep enough you might see some things that come from various cults operating in the United States and Japan. Also on my trip to Vietnam the locals explained to me a lot of their beliefs when I went to buy religious supplies such as Joss Paper or other things. The mythology can read like horror, the plot of a video game, satire, or stories that sound like some folk religion or creation story. There are various emotions and tones in the mythology so there is likely a story for every mood.

After reform, a lot of things that are not uniquely Lavenderist such as the chakras were removed to clarify to the community what is Lavenderism. There is still a bit of influence of everything I mentioned before but now our faith is more clearly defined as what is unique. Other things like Left Hand Path Occultism(I call it Satanerias) and celebrity worship have also become a part of the practice.

If I did not form Lavenderism I doubt I would have had much interest in existing belief systems. I might have become an Independent Scientologist (If I could get past the cognitive dissonance) or a theistic satanist. I also might have just been New Age or something depending on what I found at the time. I might even have chosen Greek, Roman, or Chinese paganism or Shinto since I like those too. Although as a person of Puerto Rican heritage my ancestors would have practiced Zemiism so I should probably adopt that faith. Although tbh maybe it is a good thing I started my own faith instead of being recruited into some abusive and exploitative cult.

Very syncretic. However, it seems to be highly influenced by new age, which by itself is a syncretic concept.

Good luck with your reforms. I'll be watching this unfold, from a distance. :)
