Minkowski Transcendentalism

Central Dogma

The world is tainted by the Adversary.

The taint affects the soul and traps it in the Adversary's orbit.

By purifying ourselves we can escape the Adversary's clutches.

The marks of the taint of the Adversary are malice, greed and pride.

Gravity is the manifestation of the Adversary's own malice, greed and pride.

History

Minkowsky Transcendentalism, or Cavorism, was founded by the futurist/engineer/theologian Dr. Evan Cavor in the 2130s.

Beliefs

In the beginning, the Creator generated the Universe and all the things within it. One among them was malevolent, and sought to gather all the others to himself and consume them. His untoward influence affects a part of Creation, which is the part we live in today.

Cosmology

0

The Singularity. Absolute worthlessness and infinite bloat. The Adversary, who seeks to consume the rest of creation.

1

The First World. Dominated by the struggle against physical gravity. This world can only be transcended by those who escape it and maintain purer lives in flat Minkowsky space.

2

The Second World. Dominated by the struggle against malice. This world can only be transcended by those who abandon their desire to harm others.

3

The Third World. Dominated by the struggle against greed. This world can only be transcended by those who abandon their desire to consume and control.

4

The Fourth World. Dominated by the struggle against pride. This world can only be transcended by those who, despite transcending the first three worlds, can recognise that they remain deeply flawed.
