Paxism

Paxism is a religion based solely on meditation. Summarized it is the belief of a god named Statera, who holds all knowledge and shares it through the world we live in. Different knowledge of topics require to be closer to different colors and shades.

Statera, God of Wisdom
Statera is the God in Paxism. It is believed that Statera created the world because he wanted to be happy and to make things happy. Statera believed he could do this by giving the creatures and plants in the world knowledge and adventure. He would share his knowledge with them through the different colors, which would lead them on adventures. It would require immense concentration to decipher the teachings, but it was possible through meditation.

The Possint
The Possint was created by Fulkien, The Dydalis and leader of Paxism. It contains all of the knowledge that Fulkien learned through his meditations. It is the main scripture of Paxism and a crucial part to Paxists.

The First Deciphering
The first deciphering is written in the Possint and is it's first passage. It tells how Fulkien, an elf was the first one to decipher any teaching of Statera by simply concentrating on the moon for several minutes. Doing this taught him how to use the colors to his advantage and learn from them, and also revealed little parts of how Paxists should live.

The Three Dimensions
The three dimensions, the Mortal World, The Nether, and The Immortal world are the three realms in Paxism. The Mortal world is where all mortals live, The Nether is where all failed creatures that were supposed to be intelligent life created by Statera live, and the Immortal world is where Statera lives; watching the mortals live their lives

The Building of Porthos Temple
Porthos temple was constructed by Fulkien soon after the first deciphering happened. He realized that he would soon have to spread the word of Paxism or other bad religions might corrupt the minds of people believing in fake gods when Fulkien knew that gods could not be seen or heard, as Statera taught him through his recent meditations. They could only be read through messages left in the mortal dimension by Statera.

Paxist Way of Life
The Paxist lifestyle is a very normal lifestyle, although is include many quirks and features.


 * Simple lifestyle: Paxists are supposed to have a simple lifestyle, without many possessions or distractions that would cause them to be distracted form their studies. THe only exception to this is if you find in your meditations that posessions would be good. This is also why they would traditionally wear robes that are plain white and grey with no special patterns on them. Some wiser Paxists will wear robes of the color that they study. Even the Drydalis wears simple robes, with only two differences; his shoulders have pads with corners of gold to signify his long service to the temple and the religion, and his golden F on his belt. (He also owns a small boat and a castle but we don't talk about those.)
 * Painting: painting is how Paxists express themselves and leave a legacy so that other pupils may learn from people who came before them.
 * Worship: worshiping Statera works a little differently than other religions. Paxists do not truly "Worship" their God; it is more like figuring out what their god wants them to do and how they should come about life.
 * Music: music is one of the ways that you can easily meditate in Paxism and is a good way to go about Paxist life.
 * Wars/fighting: while peace is an important part of a goo Paxist lifestyle, and usually Paxists will not fight and wish to settle things diplomatically, if while meditating they learn some knowledge that tells them that fighting in a conflict would be good for the world and it's people, they will willingly fight relentlessly and strategically.
 * Books: books also play a role in the way of Paxist lifestyle. Books are how most people record their findings and how paxists can record their findings. Books are thought to be knowledge gained from Statera through other ways than Color knowledge by Non-Paxist people. They can also be vice versa.

Color Knowledge
Color knowledge is the belief that the colors hold secret meanings and depending on their shade share different things. To decipher the meanings of the colors, one would have to meditate for hours or days focusing on an object of a specific color.
