Creed of the Kamikeedi Path
1. Have an unbounded love of all forms of life - love and protect those close to you unconditionally
2. Always approach life in an altruistic manner, until given ample reason not to
3. Forever chase the mystical – strive to become one with your idea of the divine

5. Live life as honestly and as sincerely as you can – always be loyal, fair and truthful
6. Strive for joy in your life through an all-inclusive balance of every aspect of your nature
7. Never dread the unknown – try everything you can at least once – never refuse an opportunity
8. Abstain from violence unless absolutely necessary – and then show no mercy
9. Take from life what you want but only within the bounds of the first 8 tenets.
10. Welcome challenge, always confront adversity, but also know that suffering is inherent
11. Never regret failure or loss – instead learn from them and let them make you stronger
12. Understand that life is inherently unfair - There is no such thing as universal justice
13. Do not fear death, know it and accept it as a fact of life - Life is sacred but not everything gets to live
14. Hold reprisal as an inalienable right, if warranted - but be willing to accept any potential consequences

16. Never conform – fight for things that promote independence and freedom above all else
Tenets of the Kamikeedi Path
1. All life is connected at the most basic level as well as the universe itself. The Kamikeedi path describes this connection as “The Force”. Individual descriptions of what this is vary from esoteric energy fields to the idea that everything is literally made up of the same star dust. Other spiritual paradigms may use different terminology but to a Kamikeedi follower this is no matter. They accept all allegorical descriptions of unity as different attempts to quantify that which otherwise cannot be described.
2. All myth describes the spiritual circumstance of the human condition. In this view no one myth or set of myths is definitive. In fact it is the culmination of all myth that comes the closest to describing that spiritual core within us that makes us human.
3. As a follower of the Kamikeedi path, one pursues the concept of the legendary “Homeric Warrior Hero’s Journey”. This can be described as having a lust for life and a pursuit of adventure. The Kamikeedi hold honor as sacred above all else and will not tolerate the oppression of themselves or others. It is a place where one does not seek power but accepts and undertakes leadership whenever it presents itself. It is a philosophy that espouses the concept that a Kamikeedi follower tries something new every single day that terrifies them.
4. Followers of the Kamikeedi path are disciples of the “warrior monk” archetype – as modern day embodiment's of this Archetype a Kamikeedi follower combines aspects of being a monk, such as deep spiritual and sacred devotion to her path, a constant pursuit of knowledge and striving to maintain a balance and harmony with the forces of nature as she defines them, with being a warrior, trained in the arts of fitness, discipline and patience as well as the capability to engage in conflict, (sometimes violent conflict). A Kamikeedi follower is one who strives to achieve the highest levels of training in these areas of mind, body and spirit so that she may protect herself, her ideals and any other life that cannot protect itself while exercising what she considers to be her rightful political, economic and spiritual rights in the never ending search for truth and wisdom.
5. The Kamikeedi Path is one of comradeship and mutual mentorship. Kamikeedi followers believe it is best to not walk the path alone but instead to walk the path with worthy life companions that exist in the form of select guilds whose members share similar life philosophies. These groups may take the form of soul partners, or as bonded brothers and sisters. These colleagues, linked in a reciprocal relationship through honor and trust, walk a similar path and serve as continual life mates, advisers and companions in arms to one another.
