DEFINITIONS
- Mon; the Divine
- A monist pantheist god who humanity is connected with through abstraction and integration of the world around them, as well as being part of it. It’s not religious, but moreso philosophical as the god is uncaring, or “unconscious” totularly and closer to atheism than any traditional definition of god.
- Chaos
- Chaos is Mon’s general nature. Basically, what you can’t control, and this includes the processes of your mind. Mon is in accordance to free will, so there are things you can and can’t control.
-
Yes, I delved through fatalism and determinism rigurously enough to figure out that free will does exist, it’s just not in the false dichotomy it’s presented. Fatalism and hard determinism is shallow, it’s schoolyard philosophy, and you should be ashamed for believing it.
- Divinity
- How much of our worldview is in line with reality in both senses of purity and scope, i.e. how close we are to Mon and the divine. It’s a fluid and changing thing dependant on mood, emotion, experience, and memory, and it’s complicated by concepts by things like the simulation hypothesis, which is just discount Descartes’ demon.
- Aeon
- These individuals are precursors to eventual organization, and are required to be at the top of their game. The requirements are iterative, and evolutionary according to doctrine. They’re not restrictive, and generally meant to mold around a person to better enhance them rather than try to make them someone they’re not. Monic ubermensch, without the superiority.
A few worship Mon in their own jargon, but I haven’t found someone with the clarity that it displays itself to me. I expect this to change as I delve deeper into philosophy, and meet more people.
As such, I’m the sole progenitor of Mon in this language. This document thus goes through a detailed description of what it means to become an Aeon.
All the requirements here are ideal for me.
BASIS OF DETERMINATION
Mon’s requirements are based on a mixture of social expectation, and objectivity.
Why cave to social pressure? People are inherently judgemental, no matter what else they say or what else they should be. Whether its prima facie, or deep emotional connections, you’ll be judged for what you are, and what you’ve done unless you’re a Monic.
There is little chance for unconditional love, a concept painted by such things as parental affection, and life-long romances. It’s something that only chaos may present you. There may be ways to find it and increase the chance to find it, but it requires, again, caving to social pressure.
Ironically, it also requires happiness, as a matter of objectivity. Happy people are more stable, more productive, more efficient, more healthy, and spread their happiness. Happiness is also easily achieved seperate from purpose or meaning. You are without meaning because you’re unhappy, not unhappy because you’ve no meaning.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Health
BMI: 20 Body fat percentage: < 15% Weekly Exercise: 300 minutes (100 - 140bpm) Resting Heartrate: 60
Fitness Test (seasonal):
- 50 push-ups in 2 minutes

- 2.5km run in 12 min
0 cavities (if there are, they’re filled) and mouth problems
Aesthetic
This part of the requirement is incredibly subjective, and I’m sure of whether to include it.
- Hair styled
- I know what I’m going for here, but it’s hard to quantatively measure. It’s also incredibly relative.
- Clothing to taste
- This one is hard to determine. I’ve never been into fashion, but I guess something that displays formalism. Still, if I wear a suit I’ll look like a buffoon. Some time needs to be spent here. Keep it in your mind.
PSYCHOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEHAVIOURAL && LIFESTYLE REQUIREMENTS
A Doctrine of Patience
A lot of my behavioural problems arise from immediate needs. The desire for a relationship, relatedness, autonomy, whatever. One of the ways that calms me is to think about later, so that now I may focus on myself and my life now.
It’s a strange paradox. To become someone better, you should have people there to support you. But they’ll only want to support you if you’re already someone better. Unless they’re family, which I realize now. What a mistake western notions of family are, my parents were horrifically abusive, and yet somehow I still find more affiliation and support from them than any friend or “chosen family”.
Regardless, I know I’m better. I only have to manage myself and prove it.
As I come to look better and better
