Life is sacred. Thou shalt not worship anything else.

Change is eternal. Thou shalt not try to set up a changeless order. Doing so will only lead to unnecessary Chaos.

Chaos is inevitable, but can be managed by Life.

Life keeps Chaos at bay by building complex structures, on every scale from the microscopic (bacteria) to the planetary (Gaia).

Life Changes slowly through evolution, becoming ever more complex and shaping itself to fit its Changing environment.

Overly rapid Change leads to unnecessary Chaos, and unnecessary death.

Humanity must slow the pace of the Change we have unleashed, so that we can direct and shape it well enough to avoid creating too much Chaos. Only then can humanity fulfill its Destiny, which is to become Earthseed.

The Destiny of Earthseed is to take root on other worlds, there to grow new biospheres, Gaia's children.

No, it's something I just came up with recently, and if you read the post before this one, you'll see it's not entirely my idea. Although I kind of feel bad about taking part of Earthseed without using its most fundamental tenet, which is "God is change."
