The Klal

~Tsuherer Ilan~

            This is the law of Echad, the God of all things, and it shall be obeyed by all of His people for it is the conduct of the righteous and of those who choose to live amongst His presence and witness His beauty.

On The Noble Life

The Noble man is born special. Noble blood is endowed with the beauty and power of Echad himself; leftover in dilution from the time before man was lead away. Oh, how great and painful is our divide! These are the tenants of the Noble, who solely retains a small part of Echad within the human world. The righteous noble will fulfill all of the laws of Echad, he will respect and honor his fellow noble of Echad, he will seek to spread the knowledge and faith in Echad, and he will honor the Yontefs of the Church. Surely then, he will receive the blessings of Echad upon his life!

The righteous noble will be fair and just in his dealings with those whom he rules over. He will be a fair liege and a devoted vassal. Just as the almighty Himself rules over the universe in turn! He will not rule with excessive cruelty or brutality, but with the mercy and grace of Echad. How beautiful He is!

The righteous noble will defend his home, for it is given him by the blessing of Echad. How benevolent! He will fight honorably and with distinction in the name of the almighty Echad. He will respect and be civil with his fellow noble and he will not deceive him or enact unjust revenge upon him.

The righteous noble will spread his kind and create upon the earth a haven for the presence of Echad and for his people. How perfect and wise He is!

 

On The Commoner’s Life

The common man, although born lacking of the remembrance of Echad’s beauty, is no less special in His eyes. For the human kind was created by Echad as one and Echad mourned their theft through the betrayal of the Ersht. But hope remains and the common man should keep Echad’s law with strictness to usher in the nation of Echad and His presence!

The common man should fulfill his serfly duties to the utmost of his ability. If he is a freeman, he should work hard to produce and provide for his family. The common man should answer the call to serve and fight in defense of his home and of his lord. He should seek to work the land and fields and the stones and the trees and see their beauty and appreciate the beauty of what Echad has created. How creative and powerful is He!

The common man will ensure the message of Echad is carried to his children and on to their children. He will seek to spread the message to his neighbor and he will be thankful for his life living in the knowledge of Echad, and not in the darkness of the lies of the Ersht.

 

Living by Echad’s Law

One must conduct their life specifically and with intention if they wish to produce a land and haven in which the power of the Ersht is driven out and the beauty and power and love of Echad may enter.

One must praise Echad for all He is and all He has made. He is almighty and powerful, beautiful and perfect.

One must be just and fair with his fellows, for Echad is wise!

One must wash themselves daily, for the world is inhabited by the Ersht and their dominion; Echad cannot reside in the presence of such! He who wishes to invite Echad’s blessings upon them, must daily fulfill the washings.

One must labor honestly and with all of their effort, when Echad blesses you with your harvest, you must return some in gratitude to Echad.

One must bless any food that is partaken of in the name of Echad; also he shall clean his food, and ensure it is not grown or raised or slaughtered among food that is not blessed and washed and therefore freed of the curses of the Ersht.

One must pray to Echad at morning and evening; asking for Echad’s blessing on the day in the morning and then thanking Him for His blessings of the day at night.

One must marry and reproduce and populate the world with the children of the nation of Echad; in this, the message will be spread and passed down to each generation.

One must seek to spread the knowledge of Echad to all of those still lost under the ways of Ersht; pity them, for they know not of their own deception.

One must labor at their community temple once a month, to remind them of their dedication and faith to Echad, and to usher His presence into the temple.

One must honor the Yontefs of the Church faithfully and with good will.

One must be an active member of one’s community and a good and helpful neighbor to those in need, for they are Echad’s creations as you are, for Echad is merciful!

One must serve and defend the nation of Echad with all of his strength and passion and love and valor for all of his days.
