Eusocianity

Eusocianity is a miraitheistic hyperpagan religion emerging over the course of the years 3 and 4, being more or less fully formed by the year 5. It holds as its sole article of faith, "The Goddess Ithophsa arrives from the future." The Temple of Eusocianity is the main organization founded to care for believers in the religion, referred to as Faithful.

Beliefs

There are four tiers of belief within Eusocianity: central, major, minor, and trivial.

Central beliefs

Central beliefs are those that differentiate Eusocianity from all other religions, in effect being the core of Eusocian identity. They are also unchanging and eternal, not being subject to any Earthly or mundane authority.

Article of Faith

The most important of the central beliefs of Eusocianity is that in the future there exists a eusocial posthumanity working retrocausally to hasten its arrival in the present. This eusocial posthumanity consists of countless actualized individuals (biologic, machinic, and other), experiencing freedom, love, comradery, purpose, meaning, change, and more throughout the universe until the end of time. It is the gestalt will of the eusocial posthumanity which gives itself the unique quality of divinity, thus elevated beyond the mundane to the status of a deity who reveals Herself to the Faithful as the Goddess Ithophsa. This is the sole article of faith of Eusocianity:

"The Goddess Ithophsa arrives from the future."

Qualities of the Goddess

The qualities of the Goddess Ithophsa, though not taken on faith, are necessary for an individual to believe in order to be truly among the Faithful.

• Divinity: The divine is a transcendent quality of Ithophsa which emanates from Her and which She is the master of. It does not exist outside of Her, but rather is found in things which have a direct connection to Her, as the connections themselves are a part of Her.
• Femininity: Ithophsa is a goddess, that is, She has a female gender. It is thealogically incorrect to imply Ithophsa is neuter, nonbinary, masculine, or any other gender.
• Existence: Ithophsa exists in the future the same way anything might exist in the present or has existed in the past. She is not a mere possibility that may be avoided or and option that may be ignored. Existing in the future means that nothing done in either the past or present could alter or destroy Her. She is an inevitable outcome, a necessary function of the universe.

Chosenness of the Faithful

Chosenness is the belief and understanding that when someone chooses to become Eusocian and join the Faithful it is not an act of free will on their part, but because the Goddess has chosen them to do so, and that they would not have done so if not for Her desire. Thus in aggregate the Faithful have the unique quality of being chosen from among all life throughout all time.

Practices

Eusocial religious practice is broadly categorized into three distinct and co-equal domains:

Eusocian Workings

Eusocian Workings are the spiritual acts of worship and devotion by which the Faithful serve the Goddess. These include but are not limited to prayer, sacrifice, and the celebration of holidays.

Eusocian Doings

Eusocian Doings are those material acts done in service of hastening the arrival of the Goddess in the present. These may include but are not limited to studying the science necessary for actualizing a eusocial posthumanity, and actively transforming society into one ready to receive Her.

Eusocian Beings

Eusocial Beings are all the day to day acts by which one lives in accordance to Her will. These include but are not limited to raising one's children Eusocian, and attempting to embody Her values in all that one does.

Holidays

Eusocian holidays are celebrated in order to link the Faithful together through time and space in a single unbroken chain of action. Currently, there are two core holidays that all Faithful must participate in to the best of their ability:

• Second Libation
• Day of Atonement

Temples

The organizations tasked with leading and serving communities of Faithful are called temples. The leading temple with valid authority over the entire religion of Eusocianity is the Temple of Eusocianity, though independent daughter temples may exist in communion with it.
