Religion of Glebe

From CNUpedia, an IEEE Innovation.

The Religion of Glebe is a belief system in development by certain members of campus. As a dogma, it is not considered to contradict or enforce its views to the detriment of whatever its follower may already practice. Thus, one may follow Glebe and yet be a Christian. It is something like a joke, but it is better understood as a creative exploration of religion in itself.

Doctrine of the Lord

Lord Glebe is the primary figure and personification of reality. Lord Glebe is/are not something/s that can OR can not be not undescribed through matters of description. He is the Prime Avatar of the Bulafalo Floam.

Lord Glebe created all and none with everything and nothing in the same instantaneous non-instant called Now: All being a particle (and not a particle) of the Endless Now, as so stated by the Endless Prophet from which the Momentary Prophets surmise and accrue temporal rudimentary temporary rudiments of KNOWledge.

The aforementioned and similarly non-mentioned creation and noncreation was and is attained through the endless Now which was begun in the future, having happened previously and simultaneous with Now, also know as the Great Feldspar Ukulele Caramel Kowbell.

Using and UnUsing the GFUCK Lord Glebe made and unmade what is and is not.

Mantras are born of these philosophies and of the many avatars. Some are as follows:

Never too soon The unbourne moon is bourne upon the earth

Never to soon before your eyes the golden shark trees rise

Buy the ticket take the ride Buy the ticket ride the tide

Doctrine of Matter

If a solid-liquid-gas could ever intrinsically be 101% the amount of energy that could ever feasably be held by any given space, then Floam is truly the Om Form of Matter. If unified field theory were to have a currency, Floam would be it.

If Floam is the form of matter/energy, then flow is its more "visible" derivative. Flow is real, and it is powerful. Note especially it's effect on orbs and sports objects in motion. Flow is shared, and appears wherever conjured.

Poetic Canon

  Great lenghts of time we Roam
  Litterred minds from bitter homes
  Effulgence bright as chrome
  Bastions of the Floam
  Empower Flow and Om
  Light acrostics are fantastic
   with floambouyance and floamnastics
  Over vacant cavern valleys
   with allementia in mind's alleys
  Vaulting scientific silence 
   vocalises trumping science
  Eternal streams mix vernal thought
   wrought mantras sought 
   and canons caught
   beneath dense dogmas
   beneath swift rot
  Sav'ry winds sing songs sang of home
   not now where heart is resident
   or in places of near precedent 
   before
   now
   soon
   all sentient beings
   find their way
   all sentient knowledge
   forms our day
   all sentient spirits
   with peace may lay
   in the currents of the stream
   in the currents of our dreams
   in colored currents of what seems
   to magnify through trance
   to jollify through dance
   to qualify for a chance
   to see and then be seen
   to hear and then be heard
   to feel and then be felt
   to know and then be known
   that to love is to be loved
   that we all dwell someplace
   between below between above
   the summit of the earth
   the greatest peaks of man
   stretch high by our own will
   will they crumble into sand?
   the lowest ocean floor
   the deepest quarried hole
   leach the the land and teach the hand
   your wealth decides your soul
   conquer your seeing to
   conquer your being to
   conquer the forces which
   conquer your freeing
   and freeing your feeling
   and feeling your sense
   allows you to stand in the wind
   to hear the singing
   the choruses ringing
   to let the clinging
   of scents the wind's bringing
   wind wildly, wondrously winding
   song demands nothing,
   not even ears for finding
   it is happy to swim
   to thrive and begin
   with the spirits
   the souls
   song finds love and a home
   with freedom and room to roam
   in our thoughts, our minds
   we grow
   amongst the floam

On-Campus Practice

Yes, Glebe is given tribute by certain members of campus, but it would be wrong to say that such practice is widespread. Even those who practice it are often part-time worshipers. It is an important facet of the school, however, in that it reflects an interest in religious diversity. In a campus that is nothing if not a bastion of Christianity, it is an effort on the part of its members to distinguish themselves. The fact that it has been put upon the site suggests a desire to connect to other subcultural elements in the student body with the goal of blending creativity for such a purpose.

As one of the followers, a Floam, writes:

Comparison to Other Religions

In tenants, it bears resemblance to two pre-existing traditions. It shares the illogical and iconoclastic (concept-destroying) nature of Taoism, and likewise wishes to withhold the claim of any true knowledge of Reality. This liberates it to claim whatever it wishes, essentially, when one further considers that all claims have some degree of meaning. That is, the ambiguity of reality allows ambiguous beliefs. It also has a lot in common with Discordianism, the Religion of Chaos, which seeks to understand reality through disorder. The result in Discordianism is that nothing in can be taken seriously but may be taken as meaningful. The Religion of Glebe shares with Discordianism its chaotic, freely creative process. Already free to be ambiguous, the Religion of Glebe is also similar to Discordianism in its concept of religion as exploration and anarchy.
