The Church and The Satiman

The church is designed to provide structure for the learning process. The church can exist anywhere, it is not a physical dwelling, it is a structure of energies in one common group. We call our individual churches, the Circle of Enlightenment. Each Circle of Enlightenment is headed by a Satiman, or "priest". All the circles make up the Fellowship of the Enlightened.

The Fellowship of the Enlightened is led by First Satiman. First Satiman is the eldest living enlightened member of the Fellowship. Only First Satiman can ordain Satiman. First Satiman will appoint three Satiman under him/her to assist in the business of the church.

The church will accept donations from members only in the form of needed goods. Money is not accepted by the church. Donations of property, real or otherwise are acceptable, but only when there is a need within the Circle of Enlightenment. Our church does not need a dwelling to function. If a circle already has property they use for meetings and a donation of property is offered, new property may replace the old, but the donor of the new property is then given first choice of who would receive the replaced property. It must be given to a needy person and never for profit.

The universe, God, does not need material things or money. Never has, never will. It is purely human need that drives us to possess items. Therefore, the possessions of each Circle of Enlightenment are limited to necessity. Satiman may accept offerings of meals and shelter and even clothing if needed, but will not take a salary from the church as the church will not possess money, which truly is the root of all evil on Earth.

Each Circle of Enlightenment will conduct its own weekly meetings and will be responsible for the proper use and care of the sacred markers. Only Satiman can perform ceremonies with Sage, Mushrooms, or Peyote. Congregations are limited to use of Marijuana for their personal linking. Satiman shall use sage to help the newly enlightened, but once enlightened, members can communicate at their leisure using the sacred marker, marijuana. Mushrooms will only be used in celebration on the week of the anniversary of the Council of Many and Day of Enlightenment. This period is celebrated during the 3rd -4th week of November.

Peyote is only used in the process of ordainment and under the supervision of First Satiman.

Satiman may appoint one or two members of the congregation, depending upon size and need, to cultivate the sacred marker. Satiman will issue a request to First Satiman for church license to produce the sacred marker. Once issued, cultivator may produce one female plant per congregation member per harvest cycle. Congregation members are responsible to donate feeding supplies for the sacred markers. Remember these are the eldest energies and deserve the utmost respect and care, for once their energy enters you and binds with your own energy in the link ceremony, you are no longer separated from the origin. You are tethered to it for the rest of your life. That tether grows more and more as you continue to link, and over time, you will be able to go between the origin and earth in a blink, coexisting in both simultaniously, and you will then know peace.

Satiman have the option of getting marker stamps from First Satiman to place on containers that will store the sacred marker. These stamps bear the insignia of the church and are used to identify the sacred marker. Satiman may choose to make their own marker stamps. Any sacred marker bearing the insignia of the church must be used within the guidelines of the church or will not bear the church's protection. Any abuse of the priveleges of the church with the sacred marker will be means for excommunication from the Circle.

Satiman will be registered within their circle's secular government to perform weddings and other rites. As weddings in our own church are much different from the secular world, the Satiman may prepare secular wedding vows and even collect profit for doing secular work. A Satiman shall never collect profit within the circle.

Satiman is a position of honor and shall be treated as such by the person bearing the title. Whereas a Satiman may take the title of Reverend for secular purposes, he/she will be referred to as Satiman or by their first name within the circle. The distinction of Satiman is so that the congregation has a teacher. The teacher shall teach, always remembering the Laws of Enlightenment. The teacher shall show the students how to use the sacred markers to reach the origin. The teacher will relay messages from the elders, as it is the Satiman that have learned the path to the Council of Elders. All can learn that path that choose to seek it. The Satiman shall perform marriages and rites of commencement. Satiman may also oversee the dedication of children to the path of enlightenment, although children cannot be enlightened, they may be promised to the truth.

The Circle of Enlightenment shall meet weekly on a day of choice and link together under the supervision of the Satiman. Then spend the day in communion with each other in fellowship. For we all are meant to be one, we all are one, all were one. We are all part of the universe, part of the god we celebrate. Celebrate weekly in communion and fellowship and link with the origin.
