So In philosophy I was told to write my "beliefs". Here it is. This is written by my incarnation, not myself.
Prompt: FIRST PRINCIPLES
We expect of each other that we practice what we preach; that is, that our behavior ought to be an extension of what we believe to be ultimately true. It is this idea of "ultimate truth" (first principles or metaphysics) that informs all philosophical argument. For instance, in ancient Greece Homer and Hesiod explained events by attributing them to the gods. Over the centuries others have offered many other explanations. While the answers vary, the question is universal: What is the essential nature of the world in which we live? It seems clear that before people can feel secure in their world view, they must orient themselves therein. That is, they must tentatively define what they believe to be the nature of the world (Metaphysics) so that they may develop a pattern of behavior (Ethics) which is the logical and practical consequence of those beliefs.
Since all the rest of your philosophy will extend from these first principles, WHAT, THEN. ARE YOUR BASIC METAPHYSICAL ASSUMPTIONS? (Do you believe that the universe is created and controlled by a divine personage with consciousness and plan? Is there an overriding principle of design [the force]? Is it orderly or chaotic, benevolent or malevolent? What role does human life play in the grand scheme of things?)
First off I don’t have beliefs‘, I have theories based solely on my experiences in life. Beliefs’ are far to hard to change if life demands them to change. Even though I often call them beliefs, when I say belief, I mean theory.
My metaphysics: To begin, I am agnostic. I believe in a higher power but fit into no defined religion. I am under the impression that the are at least two parallel planes. One being the material plane, which we reside on. The second being the spirit or inspirational plane. The second plane can be seen by those with a sixth sense and can be acceded in dreams and Ideas.
Dreams do one of two things, they either allow one to metaphorically see into ones mind (ie. The dreams that can be analyzed by psychiatrist.) or two the dreams that allow one to enter the spiritual realm. Ideas for stories, video games, myths, and many other things are most of the time memories and truths that something or someone in the spiritual wishes to be documented in this world.
These planes/universes have only a few definite truths. These are that there is no true defined good or evil, only moral and immoral. There is also destiny and fate. Destiny is the preordained plan that you are to abide by. Destiny has only one rule, defy your fate until all is right. Fate is the web of choices, situations, pitfalls and results that are orchestrated, monitored and watched by the fates.
The residents of the spiritual plane are humans, other humanoid mortals such as elves, then there are humanoid sub-mortals (also immune to mundane and magical diseases, can only die of old age, suicide or murder) such as lycanthropes, then there are humanoid sub-immortals (can not die of natural cause) such as the undead (vampires, liches, ect..), angels, and demons. Then there are intelligent creatures, whom also split into mortals, immortals and everything between, such as dragons (all of which can take a humanoid shape.). Next, there are simple creatures, such as pseudo-dragons, chimera and other such things. Lastly, are the immortals (beings that can die by no means what-so-ever) this includes celestial entities, those with the title god, and those with the title reaper, fates and half-fates the immortals tend to be humanoid. Also Gods reside on this or other sub planes, which are connected to both planes. Gods can be male or female, it is a title that can be challenged and won, with the consent of the fates and the creators.
All of this and any other plane is controlled by the order of the gods and the fates. In control of every one, the top tier of the order of the gods is the creators, whom are technically not gods. A brother and a Sister born of nothing whom created every thing. Equal to them, are the fates, whom control the order of the life of all, they are also not gods. Neither the fates nor the creators have control over the other. Generally in matters of dispute, fates will give the win to the creators. The fates were created by the cosmos out of need, they were not created by the creators. The fates technically do not fit into the tier of the gods. The next tier down is the higher gods, their job is to relay and interpret the needs and orders of the creators. These gods include a god of destruction, a god of creation, a god of logic and a god of instinct. The tier below the higher gods is the elder gods, each working mainly under one of the gods of the following tier. These gods maintain the order of the cosmos. These gods include chaos, order, time, neutrality, life, death, good (morality) and evil (immorality).
Below the Cosmic gods are the universal/planer gods in which there is one god for each plane or universe. They work under the cosmic gods but are not necessarily connected to them as the cosmic gods are to the higher gods. These gods include the most powerful/intelligent god of the galactic gods, one god per galaxy. The galactic gods include the most powerful/intelligent gods of the solar system, one god per solar system within the galaxy. The solar system gods include the most powerful/intelligent gods of the planets, one god for each planet in the solar system. The planet gods consist of the most powerful/intelligent god of the cultural pantheons. Generally one or two from each cultural pantheon will be on the planetary pantheon.
A cultural pantheon is a pantheon of gods worshiped in a world. Christianity, Ancient Greek gods, and Spiritual totems are included in this. All pantheons have at least three gods to grant the worshipper with situations they must over come. One who makes decisions for immediate pleasure (generally the immoral god), one who makes decisions that will give lasting pleasure (generally the moral god) and one whom makes decisions based upon the necessity in the individuals life (the neutral one). The neutral one will play tie breaker if needed. An example of this would be god (moral) who picks things that will generally improve the individuals life in the long run, the devil (immoral) who picks things for immediate or selfish game and the holy spirit (neutral) who picks things depending on what an individual can handle mentally, physically and emotionally as well as considering the necessity of the event in the individuals life. In the case of polytheistic one will generally connect with one of the gods more so then others, thus that one a complimentary god and a gods both agree on help to control situations in the individuals life. People who refuse to worship a god, like me, are in a way assigned the gods that grant you situations and it works the same way the polytheistic arrangement works. Cultural gods can only be over ridden in their choices by the cosmic pantheon or high or by the reapers whose job it is to take the individuals life when the fates and god of death determine that their time here has expired.
A pantheon only lasts as long as it has members. A god title exists as long as the title is acknowledged, either in history or by worshipers. Thus if all bibles, Torah
and Qur'an were eliminated and people forgot the god of these religions (they all have the same god) then the god titles (devil, spirit and god) would cease to exist. The being holding the title would be stricken of powers granted by said title and be striped of their immortality, this being would not simply die. Also there is a single cultural pantheon, the species pantheon, that exists as long as a species to which the title is connected to exists.
Thus in my metaphysics no religion is fully right or wrong.
My ethics, being bound by no chosen god, only be my assigned one are that one should accept all others, or at least make a powerful effort to. One should attempt to help those in need and one should fulfill the destiny placed before them to the best of their capability. One should put all effort they can into excelling their life to the highest potential it can be and attempt to better the world by their choices, decisions and Ideals.
The role in human life is to fulfill your destiny and end life with the best fate possible. The way to do this is to achieve the goal of your life, be it the goal you set, the fates set, or the gods set for you. This goes for all beings under the rule of the creators.
