OPENING STATEMENT

In response to a number of" concerned" individuals on Twitter - and also actual threats made against me - I wish to add the following statement.

I take my religion very seriously, and I try to live it to the letter of my holy law (the Law of The Fairmark). If, on occasion, I say things that prove controversial to your delicate ears, then I am sorry. However, in the real world, you are going to hear many things that will challenge what you perceive as "normal" or "acceptable". This is a part of the ongoing pattern of life's rich tapestry. Deal with it!

No doubt, you are used to religions that emphasise morality and ethics above the contemplation-and-being model of Omeganism. But that was never the point of my religious faith - Omeganism - because morality is always subject to a great deal of human error. My advice is to do some research (using this website and other means of study) and find out why this is so. A book called "Integrity" is available - and a much broader work, "Republic" - will soon follow.

Some people like to play the game of "virtue signalling" over issues of gender, sexuality, race and so on. I have repeatedly stated that whatever I say is entirely in life with the principles of the Fairmark and wider faith principles. My religion is open to people of all races (as in actual skin colours, not invented categories), to people who wish to change their sex, and to people whose sexuality has traditionally been excluded. The role of the genders should steer a middle course, with clear gender roles, but not necessarily traditional ones (more on that another time). On the issues of abortion and contraception, these are not preferred options, though I have never advocating banning either. Again, I apologise if this is not considered the "correct" opinion.

In the course of my religious and political discourse, I may (obviously) criticise other people in other religions, and contrary religious practices - as well as the wider secular culture that promotes them. This is pretty important, because ... how am I supposed to say how my religion and practices are different if I do not sometimes do this?! I will also discuss areas where I feel some religions are given preferential treatment over others, particularly those which scholars refer to as "Abrahamic". Because most people are not religious scholars - most people in the REAL world - I may use the word "Jewish" - because it is a FACT that Christianity, Islam and (surprisingly) Judaism have Jewish origins. Some people find these facts offensive, and have sought to make capital out of them. (Perhaps they are using a different dictionary from mine. I don't know).

Before you choose to state that my prejudices about religion are "racist", there is a Statement on Racism and Homophobia right there in front of you. It is pretty clear for anyone that wants to be bothered to read it.

1. ESSENTIAL BELIEFS AND PRINCIPLES - AND HOW THEY RELATE TO CONDUCT

1a. Omeganism is a complex religion, but its essential starting point is that:

*Our existence as light-beings is inherently corrupt, so we must seek to transcend that existence through the methods shown in "The Republic" series of books and in "Integrity" (2015) *The means to trancendence require the use of certain shapes, colours and sounds in combination with each other.
*The coming of the so-called "Dark Prince" from the sacred planet is the most significant of all Omegan events, because it presents the possibility of a future without the need for an earthly body and mind, and therefore the problems that come with earthly morality.
*A "science-fiction aesthetic" is necessary in part, but not one that supports stupid, crass "little green lizard-men" types of explanations of extra-terrestrial life. The extra-terrestrials that related to the Faith are symbolic spirits, not actual beings (So let's get that straight from the outset)
*Whilst outside of that existence, the "cold style" should be adopted, but the genial "warm style" should be adopted on return to Earthliness. This should take the form of a "New Aristocracy". This means no crude language or cheating to sell or persuade, no direct attacks unless absolutely necessary, and a "Principles First" approach.

1b. A "Principles First" approach means to never lose sight of how the Faith began (See 1a). Whatever people say, whatever is done to any future Converts and Fellow Travellers, wherever humanly possible, the position must not change and the language and tactics for persuasion most remain consistent, uncompromising, and above all, truthful. Subtle ambivalent language can be justified if there is some concern that "blunt speaking" might lead to a strong retaliatory response. Although Omeganism is not Christian, there is much to be said in many cases for the Christian principle of "Turn the other cheek". Do not rise to any provocation, nor reveal any information that may be used against the Faith, even if pressure is put upon you to do so. Simply keep stating, with dignity, the principles laid out in the Omegan Scriptures. A certain amount of "rage aura" is justifiable, but keep this proportionate and do not allow it to get in the way of telling the story of the Faith.

2. TREATMENT OF OTHERS IN GENERAL

2a. The method of communication through which others exchange ideas matters little in relation to the correct communication of ideas. This means that the same rules for correct communication ought to apply whether the words or deeds are expressed through the body, said in person or over the telephone or Internet, or typed on a computer screen. As far as the Internet goes, these rules apply to e-mails, and, more strictly, to public posts on websites and social media. As a general rule, ***avoid using crude language and vulgar imagery, or setting out to hurt others unless there is a very good reason, and that reason MUST be compatible with wider principles of The Faith.***

2b. Put very simply, a sharp contrast is drawn in Omeganism between sex and violence. Sexual unions, in a variety of forms - whether between the opposite sex or the same sex - are typically encouraged - provided that certain criteria are met - however, violence is not encouraged. Therefore, in dealing with others, a sexual "mistake" can normally be passed over, but a violence against others has to be sternly dealt with (See also 2e). The exception to the "no violence" this might be if some terrible wrong is done to a person, but even in this instance, the advice is generally to attack that person's property, and NOT the individual themselves. The same principle of avoiding violence might apply to a woman who is considering having an abortion. It can be discouraged, but since the matter also involves a sexual choice, care must be taken not to appear too condemnatory.

2c. Under no circumstances must a person be forced to convert to the Faith, nor should they be manipulated into doing so at a time when they are ill - physically or mentally. Lying about the actual aims of the Faith is unacceptable, though it is sometimes permissible to omit some information if the individual finds it difficult to process, or if it raises controversies that might be misinterpreted at a particular stage.

2d. A person can leave or "de-convert" at any time and openly criticise the Faith, without fear of any reproach. If a person chooses to lie about the faith, let them lie, but continue to repeat the truth. The only time they should be "De-Authorised" is if they reveal secrets about individuals that were held in confidence or resort to physical violence and intimidation themselves, but it is always better to adopt the principle "Manage and defuse; avoid personal attacks". [See also 3b]

2e. A great deal is said Chapter 17 of Integrity about how potential Converts should deal with each others' money. We all read about cults stealing from individuals or misusing their funds. For this reason, co-operative ownership is advocated wherever possible, so that every individual has a stake in what goes on.

2f. People might come for advice from the Faith for all sorts of reasons, and they have a right to discuss private worries or concerns in strict confidence. The misuse of private information by religions is widespread, particularly where internal grudges and squabbles occur. When the Faith says that something is confidential, then that is exactly how it should remain (N.B: This is not always true for UK National Health Service or college and university mental health clients, who regularly have their private data violated). The only exceptions given are in cases of murder, or certain very restricted acts of violence. Anything else should be dealt with internally.

2g. The idea of different "levels" of belief acknowledges that some people are less able to fully commit to the Faith than others. However, this does not mean that, on financial or other moral level, there ought to be ill-treatment of those lower down in the Faith.

2h. Drug and alcohol use - including the use of prescription drugs for psychiatric reasons - should, for the most part, be discouraged, but ultimately, these are individual choices and cannot be made by any third party.

2i. When children reach a certain age of maturity, they can and should be given right to reply. That usually means that when a child speaks, an adult is compelled to listen. Some other rights in relation to physical violence can and MUST apply from the moment a child is born. Similar rights must also apply to the elderly and to others reaching the end of their natural lives.

3. CONVERSION AND THE TREATMENT OF OTHER RELIGIONS

3a. Conversions must be genuine and based on informed consent, not forced. A forced conversion is not a genuine conversion, because the person did not choose it, nor were they likely to have truly understood what was involved. A person wishing to convert must also be told about the potential disadvantages of Conversion, not just the advantages.

3b. The practice of direct street proselytising by actually approaching people "face to face" should be avoided. Instead, individuals should be approached from one static venue, such as a table, tent or building.

3c. Never start from the position of physical violence or personalised attack when dealing with individual enemies. Always start from Principles First, then the tackle the ideologies of opponents. What someone does in his or her private life or financial dealings may be immoral, but it probably has little or nothing to do with their ideology. Avoid resorting to slurs on a person's private life as a tactic in order to put them down, as this will just appear spiteful.

3d. In general, it is stated throughout "Integrity" (2015) that individuals ought to have nothing to do with any religion originating from Judaism: including Christianity and Islam, and in some cases, boycott both individuals and institutions associated with them. However, a special approach is required when dealing with two religions in particular: Anglicanism and Scientology.
---Anglicanism - though a part of Christianity - and therefore Judaism - requires a "soft power" approach of gentle persuasion. The reason for that is because many British people are Anglicans (or "Anglo-Catholics") for reasons of patriotism and a love of classical English theatricality rather than Christian faith (N.B: This can also be said of some Catholics). By contrast, Scientology, which is not directly a part of Judaism - requires a blanket "ban" approach because of its toleration of harsh bullying tactics that are not in keeping with Omegan ethics.
---In the case of some women who identify as Jews or Muslims, there is the problem of some women in particular blindly following their fathers and husbands, but a close examination of those women tends to show they are fairly "un-Jewish" or "un-Islamic" in their natural attitudes and inclinations (and indeed, rather naughty and salacious in private). Some American "Jewish" women (of the quieter and more tactful kind) would make very good converts. Unless it is clearly a smokescreen for something else, some American "Jewishness" is often just a shorthand way of saying "Freudian American" - an eroticised neo-paganism that has little genuine resemblance to Judaism, or even "Secular Judaism". The challenge there is getting Americans to denigrate the heritage they once proudly boasted of - to come out as unashamedly "ex-Jewish".

4. THE TWENTY-ONE ARTICLES
ALL Twenty-One Articles of the Fairmark's moral system are listed HERE.

	•	Articles 0 is not a proper "Article". It is simply there to help
		explain Articles 1 to 21.
	•	PLEASE NOTE - All the chapter summaries of Articles given
		here are a guide only. You really need to read the actual
		Articles themselves in order to truly understand them properly.

In ARTICLES 1: Remember the name of Omega, and
    ARTICLES 2: Obey the First Deity, Artek, your Prince,
	•	Stresses the importance of obedience to Omega, to his name
		to the flag of the Fairmark and above all, to the Delta.
	•	Stresses the importance of obedience to Artek, above all other
		Deities, and the need to build electrical devices to reach Him.

In ARTICLES 3: Honour Yourself As A Child:
	•	Stresses the importance of the doctine of Eternal Virginity, and
		of valuing the innocence and freshness of childhood.
	•	States that it is wise to educate children in the possibilities and
		challenges of parenthood from a very young age.

In ARTICLES 4: Find The Love In Your Enemies:
	•	Teaches us to consider the souls and consciousness of even
		our bitterest enemies; to see the good in them, and find the love
		that lies inside them. This does not mean you should "Love
		Your Enemies", as we find in much-repeated Christian doctrine.

In ARTICLES 5: Remember the Five Virtues:
	•	Refers the reader or listener back to the Five Virtues of the
		Faith, explained fully in VIRTUES (all chapters)

In ARTICLES 6: Do The Least Harm First:
	•	Instructs the devout believer to, quite literally "do the least harm
		first" when met with an enemy or other person that has
		wronged you. The wrong done may not justify a stronger 
		response than theirs, or a more cautious, cunning attack gives
		you time to plan your next	 move. This may stop a skirmish from
		escalating into a far worse conflict, or even a war.

In ARTICLES 7: You Shall Carry No Gun:
	•	States that it is forbidden to carry firearms, and that believers
		should refrain from any weapon which pierces the skin.
	•	This Article also prohibits the injection of recreational drugs.

In ARTICLES 8: Learn to Teach and Teach to Learn:
	•	Encourages every believer to pass on not only the words of
		The Republic, but to study hard in general, and learn to teach
		others what you have studied or been taught.
	•	Gives advices on the style to adopt in speaking to others,
		especially when preaching the Omegan gospel.

In ARTICLES 9: Let Women Lead The Dawls:
	•	Overturns several thousand years of thinking on gender roles in
		both of the "patriarchal" and "feminist" type..
	•	Advocates that women take command in most areas of public
		life, especially in the Dawls (the Omegan equivalent of a
		church). This is because of what Omeganism believes about
		women and their unique leadership qualities, which involve
		Earth Spirit magic, and not just about practical intelligence.

In ARTICLES 10: Support The Sick And The Grieving:
	•	Literally, encourages believes to support those who are sick in
		body or in mind, including those that are not Converts.
	•	Encourages periods of abstinence from sexual intercourse
	•	Insists that we keep others' secrets, and do not tell them to
		anyone else - especially with those who are worried and				
		troubled.

In ARTICLES 11: Do Not Be Found Out By Spiteful People:
	•	Reminds people to keep secrets, not to spread rumours, and
		not to associate with gossips and other spiteful people,
		most notably, where the survival of the Faith is at stake.
	•	It is a polite update of the "Eleventh Commandment", made
		notorious by the author and former politician, Jeffrey Archer.

In ARTICLES 12: Honour The Breast Of The Virgin:
	•	States yet again the concept of group-marriage (polyamory)
		within the Virgin Family (See also Virgin Family Doctrine)
	•	Discusses the correct treatment of Concubines (who choose
		some element of service to the Faith) and Surrogates (who are
		usually captured slaves) in their sexual duties
	•	Emphasises feminine sexuality and appearance in both male
		and female. This is why it states that male husbands of other
		males and female husbands of other females should not have
		official sanction, even though same-sex marriage is very much
		encouraged in the Fairmark - especially between women.
	•	Lays out what the correct appearace of both male and female
		bodies should be (though there is still a lot of room for beauty in
		many diverse forms)
	•	Explains the sexual duties that all women of the Faith have to
		each other.(regardless of false sexual orientation)
	•	Explains the sexual duties that all women of the Faith have to
		male husbands as part of the polyamorous Virgin Family
	•	Hints at "kinder passions" that, when understood by Converts, 
		will add a deeply luxurious element to sexual intercourse, and a
		deep, abiding sense of love within the Virgin Family..

In ARTICLES 13: Do Not Put Poison Into Water
	•	States the many reasons for not putting poison into water!

In ARTICLES 14: Carry No Forbidden Mark:
	•	Warns against believers wearing any symbol that marks them
		out to the Flaheen (i.e. unbelievers), or which imitates the ways
		of the Flaheen.
		-This ranges from tattoos through to jewellery, and also makes
		reference to any cards or passwords that might be misused.

In ARTICLES 15: Be Obedient With Money, and
In ARTICLES 16: Make Good Records of Your Business,
	•	We are warned against borrowing or lending; against stealing,
		against being dishonest with money and related activities 
	•	Encourages people to keep good, clear records so that it is
		easier to find information when this is needed.

In ARTICLES 17: Know When To Arrive And When To Leave,
	•	We contemplate the mysteries of time, and consider the ways
		in which finding the right time to do something is important.

In ARTICLES 18: Do Not Be Offended By Stale Bread,
	•	Or to put it another way, do not be snobbish about others' gifts
		if they are sincere, and learn to value boredom and a lack of
		freshness. Show gratitude at stale bread and other humble gifts

In ARTICLES 19: None Shall Be Hated By The Race of Their Birth:
	•	We are encouraged to not to judge others by the colour of their
		skin, but by their true character. It is a plea, also, to encourage
		those of all races to join (or if not, support) the Omegan faith.
	•	Racism of this type is a serious offence against the Fairmark,
		and leaders within Dawl should have the power to act against
		those that seek to harm others - including verbally - on the
		basis of their colour. In extreme cases (at the discretion of each
		Dawl, such racism may be the basis for expulsion: though this
		ought to be avoided where an amicable settlement can be
		reached. In the early stages of estabishing the Faith, it is vital
		that punishment for such offences is both swift and severe in
		order to discourage racists from joining Dawls or forming their
		own.
	•	Lest anyone be in any doubt, the punishments for racism apply
		just as much to white, yellow, black and brown - but they do not
		apply to cases where a person has tattoos, as this is not taken
		to be a "colour" with which one is born.

In ARTICLES 20: Carry Yourself With Grace, Wisdom and Beauty:
	•	Is a plea for clean, stylish manners, in which we avoid alcohol,
		recreational drugs, swearing and other vulgarities, including
		mocking the misfortunes of others (Such mockery rarely
		benefits anyone, nor does it teach anyone much. This is the
		problem with most forms of satire)
	•	Teaches us to avoid responding to others' cruel words by
		responding in a similar way. Instead, we should adopt the heir
		of a stylish party host or hostess (or perhaps a butler) with an
		air of snobbish indifference whenever such jibes are aimed our
		way. Only in certain circumstances should we retaliate with
		more words, and then, we have to judge how harshly to
		respond in turn.
	•	The way in which we should respond to others will depend, to
		some extent, on the Deity we are required to call upon. It might
		be true that a more vulgar response is required when we are in
		the "mode" of Hedona or Anathema.

In ARTICLES 21: Change Clothes According To The Deity That You
    Call Upon,:
	•	The concept of switching between modes of Deity, and modes
		of thought and speech more generally, known as Packet
		Switching. The term "Packet Switching" is derived from
		Internet computing, and refers to the way in which computer
		servers have the ability to quickly switch the direction of
		Internet traffic across a network, much as we should be able to
		switch between the Four Deities as and when this is needed.
	•	The way in which we should act, dress, and the even  way our
		rooms are painted within the Dawls, to others will depend, to
		some extent, on the Deity we are required to call upon.


5. THE NEW ARISTOCRACY

5a. The Gilmour principles (See "Integrity" (2015) ) - based on the political and economic philosophies of the late Conservative peer, Lord Gilmour - must be an absolute minimum standard for political action. The maximum standard is full-blown socialism. However, it is important to recognise that some people might find the word "socialism" difficult to process, because of its negative connotations. So Socialism should not be a compulsory requirement of belief in the way that the Gilmour principles might be. Lord Gilmour was not a socialist - not would he claim to be - but his work stands out as a strong condemnation of Thatcherism, Blairism and everything that has come since.

5b. A New Aristocracy would not cheat believers, nor ask money from them that was not theirs to give, and in some cases, actively campaign on behalf of the very poorest in society. This applies from the very richest in society to the very poorest. Reliance on rich donors, whilst useful, should be avoided, both in advertising and general administrative structure.

5c. Always seek to live amongst the working classes if possible, even if you have great wealth. However, it is important to create new communities that stand outside of normal, day-to-day class relations (See "Integrity", Chapter 7). In some cases, it is advantageous if wealthy people move into so-called "run down" areas. If parasitical workers try to steal or vandalise, why should you be the one that is forced to leave? Stay - and lead by example.

5d. There are instances where Omeganism will take a seemingly "elitist" stance against that of libertarians where individuals are undeveloped and in need of re-education by ruthless means. This is because Omeganism is a faith position that goes over and above the head of democracy. It is NOT a "free-for-all". Some examples of this are in relation to tattoos and piercings. In libertarian theory, there is nothing wrong with either of these things because they do no obvious "harm" to anyone. The issue, however, is one of "self-crucifixion" and how it relates to certain oppressive ideologies - a theory which is expanded on in a number of chapters within "Integrity" (2015)

6. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

6a. Traditional religion has too much power - more power than you might think - including power through the media. Omeganism must be internationalist in its religious aims, but nationalist in its defence of individual nations' independence from its undue influence.

6b. "Integrity" (2015) makes a number of references to issues of public health, pollution and climate change. Whatever our differences as human beings, each of us must work together wherever possible to ensure that our air, rivers, oceans, food and reproductive life is as healthy as possible. This conduct should also specifically to any new Converts operating at local level in their homes and workplaces.

6c. Racism based on the colour of a person's skin is unacceptable. Attacking other religions is permissible, but never the race to which those people typically belong. One might sense trends in a particular family towards "good" or "bad" behaviour, but there is always the possibility for redemption, however "bad" the family name.

6d. Kindness to the foreigner is essential, and particularly towards refugees fleeing persecution, even if restrictions on migration are necessary in practice.

6e. Workers of the world may wish it otherwise, but are made invariably similar in one vital aspect, regardless of religion, and that is that they are thrown together with other workers in a society designed to compel them to act as an impoverished class rather than as members of freely-chosen peer groups. It is necessary that Omeganism challenges the glib assumptions of the wider workers' movement, and instead presents a credible and broadly revolutionary alternative.
