Do Not Believe a Word Anyone Says

Book 0: The Fundamentals | Chapter 0.3 | 29 May 2020

Our Janthopoyism branch may sprout from the Pantheistic tree, but we've planted these roots firmly into agnostic soil.

Agnosticism tells us that we do not and cannot genuinely know anything about a "God" or lack thereof. If you are completely honest with yourself, you should recognise this to be true.

It is healthy and natural to reach personal conclusions in your quest for knowledge and spirituality. We encourage it! Your path is valid and no one's business. However, if you trace your thoughts backwards, you may find that your definitions of "God" were predominantly predefined by other people. You may also find that you have no immovable proof for your settled perception, and for any evidence you have, there is someone out there with counter-evidence ready to refute it. And then round and round we go, yet another brain vs brain debate, each brain convincing itself of its correctness, disregarding other brains that disagree, loop-de-loop-de-loop.

Newsflash: that's why it's referred to as faith! It's not a science, for even science can neither prove nor disprove the mystical theories of the cosmos. Your entire reality could be a simulation designed to test you, or your mind could be the only functioning perspective in existence, your friends merely a figment of your imagination. These sentiments are as equally provable as they are unprovable, just like everything else. Hence why we leave you to land on whichever side of the fence you feel comfortable with and feel no compulsion to meddle in that outcome.

Janthopoyism believes that we as a species have surpassed the point where individuals require the spoonfeeding of spirituality. The mysteries of the Universe are brilliant because they are just those: mysteries. Even the most liberated thinkers will eventually collide into a contemplation barrier they cannot pass for they do not have permission. And within this special agnostic position of ambiguity, we have found an advantage where one can marvel over the wider picture from a distance, never committing to or rejecting any ideas, open to dance with everything.

If one is to define blasphemy according to Janthopoyism, it is not the use of human words to offend an all-encompassing omnipresent higher energy. That is the stupidest shit we have ever heard. Instead, the ultimate blasphemy is not to use the gift of thought which we have all been granted. Convictions are the most dangerous enemy of knowledge. Do not be convinced by anything. When you make your mind up about something, every door closes. Exploring and questioning the outside and the inside world is a service you must commit to and practice every day. Remaining neutral is the strongest superpower anyone can have. That is the Janthopoyism way.

On that same string: do not believe Janthopoyism either.

Everything we say is guidance. Don't let anyone tell you how your life works because nobody knows, not even this book. If there's a positive pull against something suggested on these pages, then that emotional response overrides everything. Listen to yourself for we are not you. "This above all: to thine own self be true", wrote Shakespeare.

Instead, we ask you to digest these teachings slowly to find your place within them. You're seeking realisations, not things to remember. Janthopoyism is a process of uncovering the core individual beneath the noise. No two people will have the same experience nor agree on how to get there. If what we preach resonates true to you, great! Follow those vibrations. If you agree with certain elements but disagree with others, still great! You have a starting point to develop your way. If you gel with none of it but still want to reap the endless benefits of a system that will unquestionably advance your life further, then play it like a metaphor or a game.

Much of our chosen imagery is symbolic anyway. By simplifying abstractions into tangible ideas, the content becomes easier to understand, helping everything to gradually come together as a singular piece (and it will). We invite you to absorb these texts however your mind allows for it, and then that is the way it shall be. Your perception is creating the reality around you then confirming it to be true regardless.

We say the above with confidence. Janthopoyism's firm stance is that the material world as we know it only exists once a mind clicks into an awareness of it. The observer effect taught by quantum mechanics is an essential component of our education. By focusing your perspective on distinct viewpoints, these attentions will become your certainties. So pick your theories with intention.

There are no wrong methods, only wrong feelings.
The details of your right path are up to you.
Janthopoyism will never stand in the way of your trajectory.
On the contrary.
We're going to move this thing much faster for you.
