The Temple Rites: Primary Texts

The Response

We will not live in this world. We will have an acceptable world, or none at all

We, and each and every child, have a natural instinct for the way things should be. As the child grows, it accepts the corrosion and eventual destruction of the Dream as a natural phenomenon.

We do not accept this.

The Dream is real, and no natural law disallows it - quite the contrary: it is sacrilege to be in any other state, blasphemy to consider the validity of any other state.

It is our natural right to achieve the Dream, and our natural responsibility to attempt it. The urge to do so is fundamental and, moreover, we believe that this urge prompts one of two reactions; to pursue the Dream, or to resist it, and to follow man-made law. The act of resistance so confounds the natural order as to give rise directly to even greater corruption than is caused by inertia.

Crisis aproaches; the Dragon awakes; the very Land stirs, and we must needs determine our course.

There is no alternative, and there can be no compromise.

We have seen our journey's end, we have determined our course and, most importantly, we have constructed our vehicle.

We will have an acceptable world, or none at all!
