Called are we, to the sublime. Infinite, is our potential, and to overcome, is our charge. It is the conviction of our Silver Soul’s that will lead us higher.

Purity

 

What is Purity?

 

There have been many interpretations offered regarding the nature of  Purity, though there has yet to be a definitive answer given, from which we can teach our youth and go forth. I shall, in this treatise, pronounce the ultimate interpretation, if my analysis of what Larihei Lomahnih is, holds.

 

If indeed, as I have previously argued, Larihei, is of divine nature, and our souls are that of thilln, then Purity is a metaphysical construct- it is not something which can be empirically studied, nor can it be weighed, nor can it be counted. Though, being Pure demands that you belong to the category of Mali’aheral, for it is only those who have souls of silver.

 

Historically, the question “Thilln ito nae’leh?” has been premised upon two things;

Blood and Mind. Are you of Pure Mali’aheral lineage? And do you subscribe to the teachings of Larihei - maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. This is premised correctly - being of Pure lineage and being of Pure mind are necessary to one being Pure. However, Purity in and of, by definition, cannot just be those two things. Rather, Purity is the condition of one’s soul. Following maehr’sae hiylun’ehya provides us with many benefits. Firstly, it is the best philosophy by which to live our lives. Secondly, and more importantly, it is what maintains the thilln of our soul. It is what keeps it thilln. The Impure of the world do not live by our philosophy, as such their calling towards perfection - towards Larihei is diminished. They care not for her nor our ancient ways. As a Mali’aheral slowly begins to withdraw from our lifestyle, they grow more and more accustomed to lesser ways and vices. Whereas when one resides amongst Pure kin, pursuing a Pure life, one's Silver Soul is in its Purest and healthiest state.

 

Given the immaterial nature of the Soul, its ‘thilln-ness’, is not observable or knowable to us, though when our fates are decided at the end of our lives, it is The Silver Maiden alone, who will see us for what we are, whether we have lived a life worthy of being graced by Her presence.

 

To be Pure, is to have an untarnished Silver Soul. Purity then, is the endeavor to maintain the Thilln of one’s Soul.

Lomahnihst Rites

 

Given the utmost importance of maintaining all aspects of our Purity; The Soul, The Mind and The Body, it is important from youth, that we engage with a culture that emphasizes these very things. As such, I have devised several Rites which all Lomahnihsts are obligated and required to undergo - to both maintain their Purity and to continue to live out a life of Purity. 

 

The Rite of Sanctification

Upon reaching adulthood, all Lomahnihsts shall undergo The Rite of Sanctification, to be observed by their fellow Society members. This Rite is a requirement for all expectant Avernan, wherein following a ceremony, they shall be submerged in pools of Gold, effectively placing them in a state of ‘renewal’.  As Larihei offered the gift of rebirth to our ancestors, we shall offer all initiates the ability to cleanse themselves of previous transgressions against the Lomahnih way. This Rite shall conclude the initiation of the Avernan as full members of The Silver Society of Larihei Lomahnih.

 

The Rite of Marriage

As one meanders throughout life, having come of age, one naturally has the urge to create a family - to continue the ancient legacy of one's ancestors. It is without question that the familial unit is the fundamental unity within our blessed society. Therefore, both culturally and civilly, one is obligated to continue our way of life, and so when two wish to become one, they shall be wed in ceremony, before their peers, receiving the pools of Gold together, serving as both a renewal of their promise to be pure, and as a promise now to each other.

 

The Rite of Dying

To die, is a consequence of having lived, and as one nears the end of ones life, the last act of purification is granted. A ceremony, presided over by the Masaneyir, and attended by the family of the one who’s time has come to an end, shall be held wherein they shall be purified once more, by the blessed waters. Then, their bodies shall be cremated and laid to rest within the crypts of our ancestors.

[RyuTheCoolest 176]

"whilst I hold all these truths to be self evident by nature of our silver blood, to consider purity unable to be measured or proven is something that is currently false. With new advancements of science and technology you will find that through metaphysical reality, one can directly witness the purity of ones soul, or indirectly in the case of the observer, who witnesses through the very tools and techniques proven through tested science"

 

A young philosopher reads this

 

"Infinite is our potential to be polished ever purer. The rites are true, and all else fact supported by the science. So one must not forget the ways of our race in it's pursuit, both of progressive purity and advancing science, which continues to grow at an exciting, if alarming rate"
