Kerelian: Difference between revisions

It is a core belief to conquer all temptations and inner enemies such as anger, greed and pride by practicing non-attachment with the material[[Image:H_of_k.jpg|200px|right]] world and by living a peacefully disciplined lifestyle. Non-attachment was defined as “a believer would willingly give up all possessions to the Heart of Kerelia if asked”.  Followers are not prohibited from accumulating physical things and property even for comfort and entertainment.  For everything that is acquired that is not needed for sustenance an equal amount in value of food, shelter, or must be given less fortunate, even if a non-believer.  This ritual of giving became the basis for the Kerelian monetary system.

[[Image:Dais.jpg|200px|left|Death Dais]]Karma is the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one life according to that person’s deeds in the previous life.  A soul will live an endless cycle of lives until they reach  hallodor (an end from the cycle of rebirth) by a life of strict non-violence and repudiating the human body.  After death the body is put on s stone dais in a garden. If the body is left undisturbed by the elements and animals by sunrise then it is believed that the soul has achieved hallodor. Once hallodor is achieved the soul is liberated and sent to heaven where it becomes a God and sits with the other Gods. If the body is disturbed in any way hallodor is not achieved and the soul will be reincarnated. If the body is no longer on the dais the soul will cease to exist.
