The Nine Commandments of Jena

[danolt]

Commandment 1:

I, Jena, am your Goddess, the Mother of Creation; you were made in my image. Love your goddess as you love every fiber of yourself.

What this means:

I, Jena, am your Goddess,

Jena declares to us that She is our Goddess. Her love for us is so strong that regardless of our beliefs, faith, deeds and ignorance. She is our God.

the Mother of Creation;

It was She that gave rise to all things through Her child, Creation.

you were made in my image.

We are an image of Her spirit, a glimmer of Her love. She has given us the power to create, foster, and love life. She has given us free will and the power to affect our own destiny.

Love your goddess as you love every fiber of yourself.

Ourselves, our neighbors, our family, our allies, strangers, and enemies, every soul, every fiber of every Homin is to be as cherished as an infant is loved by its mother. That is how Jena loves us, that is how we are commanded to love each other.

Commandment 2:
You shall adore no other Gods.

We are to love and trust Jena above all things.

Commandment 3:
Teach your children my love as you would have me love you.

As we were formed through love it is our responsibility to love, cherish, teach, provide, and shape our children. We will be held accountable for the generations to follow. We shall be judged for how we treat all of Jena's children.

Commandment 4:
You shall honor my Disciples, they are the advocates of my Law, and are sent to watch over your welfare.

The chosen servants of Jena have shown their service and should be held in high regard. They have a better understanding of Jena's Law and are here to guide and aid us. They are elevated servants, here to help us reach the light.

Commandment 5:
You shall not descend into the bowels of Atys lest the holy light leaves your heart, and the Dragon's darkness devours your soul.

Do not abandon your Goddess and descend into the Abyss. Jena's love will not save us from the blindness of hate and fury. She will not recall a soul who has abandoned her laws and deliberately journeyed into the darkest corners of the eyes of pain.

Commandment 6:
As the leaf of a tree falls to the soil that gave it living force, so your soul shall be called to me when you die. Depending on the strength of your faith you will be born again in my blessings or you will rot in torment.

It is our love and faith that makes us eternal.

Commandment 7:
Spread word of my coming and my love will multiply in your heart.

Speak of the truths of Jena in word and deed. Prepare a door into the hearts of the unfaithful so that through love, Jena can reach their hearts.

Commandment 8:
Do not take the law into your own hands lest they be steeped in sin on the judgment day.

Do not twist the laws of Jena. Faith does not make one immune to sin and judgment.

Commandment 9:
Seek to reach my Kingdom and I will meet you half way.

Through grace She will reach out to those who try to follow her precepts. We must seek within ourselves for the Kingdom of Jena. She does not ask us to create one.

The Promise of Pure Faith
Once you have proved the purity of your faith, you may reach the joy of elevation and become a trusted Disciple.

This is not a commandment but a promise and a goal. Jena can and will give us pure faith if we work hard enough.


I have a long way to go,
