Sacred Church of Seishin

The Sacred Church of Seishin stands as one of the revered sects within the Sacred Eight, devoted to the worship of Seishin, the goddess of spirits. Seishin encourages her followers to embark on a journey of inner tranquility and self-discovery. While Hikira urges the revelation of truth, Seishin emphasizes the importance of self-definition and understanding one's place in the world, including its divisions and complexities. Those who follow Seishin are characterized by their introspective nature, striving to cultivate wisdom to enhance their spiritual well-being. They are committed to serving and guiding others in their quest for inner peace and enlightenment.

Public Agenda

To facilitate the journey towards inner serenity and a deeper comprehension of one's role in the world, followers of the Sacred Church of Seishin believe that they will be welcomed into a blissful afterlife by the Goddess Seishin with open arms.

Tenets of Faith

Connect to One Soul:

• Seishin, the goddess, urges you to delve deep within yourself, exploring the innermost depths of your being. For it is through this self-awareness that you unlock the potential to achieve the extraordinary.

Guide the Soul:

• In the interconnected tapestry of life, no soul exists in isolation. Seishin calls upon her followers to extend a guiding hand to those who have lost their way. By reaching out and assisting others, we reaffirm our shared humanity and interconnectedness.

Help the Dead:

• Even in death, the journey to tranquility is not always straightforward. Seishin implores her devotees to offer aid to the souls of the departed, guiding them towards peace and their rightful path in the afterlife.

Ethics

Seishin inspires her followers to embark on a journey of self-discovery while fostering harmony and mutual support among all beings. She emphasizes the importance of living authentically and aiding one another in our shared existence. Each individual is endowed with unique abilities and love, which are meant to be shared generously with others. However, Seishin cautions against succumbing to pride and viewing oneself as superior to others. True happiness can only be achieved through collaboration and mutual respect.

If one becomes overly absorbed in their own achievements and abilities, they risk losing connection with others, the world, and the goddess herself. While it's natural to take pride in one's accomplishments, belittling others or claiming exclusive superiority is deemed a serious transgression by Seishin. Such behavior is seen as an affront to her essence, and those who exhibit such arrogance are not welcomed into her realm. Seishin values humility, kindness, and the willingness to share one's gifts with others as essential virtues in her domain.

Worship

The main day of worship for followers of the Sacred Church of Seishin is Flexday, which falls on the fifth day of the week. On this day, worshippers gather at the church's main chapel dressed in traditional, relaxing attire. The service commences with a chant, followed by 20 minutes of meditation. A speaker then delivers a talk, spoken in a whisper but somehow audible to all present. Most adherents refrain from bringing their children until they are capable of sitting in complete silence. After the talk, the service concludes with a closing prayer and another 20 minutes of meditation.

During prayer, worshippers adopt a specific posture: sitting with the left leg crossed over the right leg on the floor, sitting upright, and bringing their hands together at their center, which they believe to be their core. Cupping their hands together, they meditate until they feel prepared to commune with Seishin.

Additionally, followers of this faith are required to receive a deep tissue massage to relax and connect their souls and bodies. This massage can be performed by a professional, provided the correct oils are used and a prayer is offered beforehand. Many Seishin churches have priests or priestesses who are trained to perform this role.

Granted Divine Powers

To attain full membership within the church, one must engage in extensive meditation and study. Regardless of the desired role within the church, all aspirants receive comprehensive instruction in the foundational principles of various positions. When deemed ready by the elders, initiates are led to the inner sanctum, where they gather in a circle around the central orange triangle known as the trifocal.
Each of the three church leaders takes position at a point of the trifocal, while one acolyte is summoned to the center beneath it. Initiates then enter a state of meditation, connecting their spirits with the trifocal and the master. Together, they engage in a chant invoking Seishin's guidance.
Upon completion of the chant, initiates observe the color of the trifocal. A lack of glow signifies that Seishin does not bestow blessings on the chosen path at that moment. However, dedication and perseverance may warrant a later attempt.

1. If it does not have a glow, it does not bestow any blessings on your path that Seishin sees for you. You can try again at a later date, but you must show some extreme dedication, as most see this as the goddess needing you elsewhere or you have not yet found your true self.
2. It turns pale orange when you become a priest or priestess and be given several blessings to support you.
3. It grows a dark orange, you will become a paladin and be given several blessings to support you.
4. It will glow a tangerine color, or you will become a cleric and be given several blessings to help you.

Those who accept the blessings reach up and touch the trifocal, receiving the gifts and powers associated with their new position. Masters then approach to welcome the newly inducted member into the fold. However, one may choose to decline the calling, remaining seated to express gratitude to the goddess before returning to the circle.
