General Discussion

Comment here on your impressions or questions on The Trinities of Hav.
There is alot about Hav that has been intentionally left out of the trinities. Some things you will learn later, some things you can figure out now, and some I can tell you if you ask.
I'll start you off with some items to discuss:
When are the days of worship?
Where are the temples? What are they like?
What is the Arcana?

The religion of the future
is called Hav.
Wait and see.

There is only one religion in the future.
Not everyone believes it,
but no one believes anything else.

There is no word for people who believe Hav.
There is no word for people who do not believe Hav.
The difference is not important.

Even the word 'believer' is not used.
'Believer in what?' people would ask,
if you did not specify.

We see God treating everyone the same,
So we treat everyone the same.
Hav is not about credit.

'Credit' is a synonym with belief, faith, trust.
Faith is what people offer to religion,
not what religion offers to people.

Hav is about community
people
civilization



In the future, the Senate runs civilization,
but the Senate does not vote.
In the future, Senators think.

People go to the Senate with problems,
they discuss, and speak their minds.
wisdom and discernment gain respect.

Soon the problem is understood,
every issue is considered.
Senators leave with solutions.

In the future, community has a purpose.
People come together out of choice,
but many have chosen isolation.

The most respected Senator
in all of history
was Havg'nel Haviref'na.

One day the people went to the Senate with a problem.
The Senators went to Havg'nel, He did not have an answer.
For nine years, he contemplated this problem.

He discovered that his civilization was flawed.
He found a new way to live, to come together,
so that people and societies would be renewed.



While you may not believe in Hav,
Hav still changes you.
Religion has always been deep.

In the future, worship has a purpose.
On a day of worship, the ritual is the solution.
Every kind of good thing happens.

Homes are built, feasts are shared, pains are mended,
stories are told, Marriages are declared, Souls are connected
people are valued, that is the ritual.

The ritual lasts all day and through the night,
the temples are empty,
the snicketts are singing.

When it is not a day of worship
people sometimes go to the temples.
This is where they meet God.

Those who believe in Hav
Pray silently in the temples
that those who do not believe in Hav, will.

This Prayer is the only way that Hav spreads
because outside of the prayers
the difference is not important.



Hav is a gift
from God to humanity.
Won by Havg'nel Haviref'na.

Only God can command.
You have no authority over one another
and you owe no one.

None are better, none are worse.
You are all together.
Value is not earned by faith or deed.

Avoid pride.
Be Humble.
Avoid arrogance.

God Provides all to all,
without question.
What you have is for all.

Your differences are not important.
To unite in friendship,
you need only to choose.

What Havg'nel put forth,
God perfected.
We pray that it be believed.



No one leads the Ritual,
each is guided by their own awareness.
The Ritual leads.

A believer of Hav asks
how to worship.
The answer is always the same.

Cast off my expectations,
be grateful for all I have,
Start from nothing.

Seek a need beyond myself
contemplate in patience
and find inspiration.

Bring what I have
for all
to the task.

Ease the need
I have taken
as my own.

Celebrate
healing together.
This is the ritual.



In the future, criminals are ashamed.
their crimes are known
and they are watched.

When a criminal is discovered,
word of their crime is spread.
This is not malicious, it is kindness.

When you are wronged in a minor way,
you take it up with the person,
and that is enough.

When a crime is committed,
the community must know,
To help, and to protect each other.

The criminals
are not imprisoned
it is enough that their community is aware.

They are watched,
and prevented
from doing harm.

Most are ashamed,
and in time
will be forgiven.



Havg'nel Haviref'na once said
"This is not my creation, Hav is written everywhere.
It was arcane, but anyone could find it."

Hav is available to all
it need not be proclaimed.
Only pray that it be believed.

Treat all as if they believe in Hav.
Or all as if they don't.
The difference is not important.

If you are asked your beliefs
be honest.
Accept the opportunity to share.

Hav is written everywhere,
it is a gift
for our renewal.

Hav is about community.
Communities are always changing.
So Hav is never complete.

Which is why
Hav is called
The religion of the future
