The creation of a new creed involves profound philosophical and ethical thinking, especially when it touches on the core values of personal freedom and independent thought. The following is a fictional framework of tenets designed to explore its possible connotations and influences-at the same time, it should be emphasized that the design of the tenets is only for theoretical discussion and does not encourage any suppression of freedom or thought in reality. Behavior. --- ###**Creed name: The Path of Ultimate Surrender (The Path of Ultimate Surrender)** **Core doctrine：** “Only by completely annihilating the self can it be integrated into the ultimate truth; giving up is liberation, and obedience is sublimation. ” ####**Basic principles** 1. **Absolutely give up (The Great Renewal)** -Believers must voluntarily give up all personal will and completely surrender their body and mind to the “supreme will” (usually embodied in religious leaders, sacred scriptures, or collective consensus). -Questioning is regarded as blasphemy, and independent thinking is the biggest obstacle to the truth. 2. **The Void of Self (The Void of Self)** -Through ritual "self-stripping” (such as repeated chanting, penance, or consciousness control techniques), believers need to eliminate the boundaries of individual identity and achieve unity with collective consciousness. -“You are nothing, nothing is everything. ” 3. **The Monopoly of Truth (The Monopoly of Truth)** -The truth is only interpreted by the “awakened” (such as the leader or the Presbyterian Church), and believers have no right to verify the doctrine through reason or experience. -External knowledge (such as science and philosophy) is dismissed as “the whisper of chaos”. 4. **Reversed Salvation (Reversed Salvation)** -Pain and deprivation are sanctified: the more believers lose their freedom, the closer they are to “ultimate purification.” -Example: “The shackles are your wings, and the cage is your temple. ” ####**Ceremony and Practice** - **Oath of Silence**: You need to swear in front of the icon every day to give up your personal desires of the day. - **Cognitive Deconstruction (Unlearning)**: Through group confession, publicly abandon the “wrong thoughts” of the past. -**Brand of Belonging**: Symbolic self-harm or tattoo to show permanent belonging. ####**Potential danger (requires critical thinking)** -**Totalitarian risk**: This kind of creed can easily be abused as a tool of mind control. In history, many cults or autocratic regimes have persecuted dissidents in a similar name. -**Denial of human nature**: Freedom and doubt are the foundation of human progress, and complete suppression may lead to dehumanizing consequences. - **Philosophical contradiction**: If “giving up thinking” is a requirement of doctrine, believers cannot even logically understand the creed itself. --- ###**Ethics Reminder** Any system that requires complete abandonment of freedom and rationality is inherently contrary to enlightenment values and the concept of human rights. Although the traditions of healthy beliefs in reality (such as Zen “breaking” or Sufism “silencing”) emphasize self-transcendence, they are premised on voluntary and critical practice. True spiritual growth should liberate rather than restrain human potential. If your discussion of this topic is for academic or creative purposes, it is recommended to do further research： 1. Metaphors of thought control in dystopian literature (such as "1984" and "The Story of the Maid")； 2. The phenomenon of "Deindividuation" in psychology； 3. The debate on “obedience and freedom” in the history of religion (such as Martin Luther vs. the Catholic Church).
