Path of Empiric Insight

Path of Empiric Insight

The doctrine that all knowledge is derived directly from experience.

The realms around us offer a multitude of experiences to savoir and learn from.
Seek to overcome the weakness of our blind births, ascending through experiences to higher understanding and power. By playing with the fires of emotion and experiencing the icy thrill of them, you need to sense life in all its facets.
We excite our bodies and minds to true sensation, and open our consciousness to the entirety of the world. From the dizzying heights of comprehension, at the needlepoint of pain, we learn the true measure of the life we walk.
Information given third-, or even second-hand is flawed. Every time a piece of knowledge is passed on from person to person, something is twisted, distorted, even if unintended. It is only by seeing, feeling, experiencing for oneself that one can truly gain understanding. And the more one understands the individual, the more one understands the big picture; the clearer a view one has on the true inner workings of the worlds around them.

→ Be a teacher, torturer and lover to those who seek empowerment.

→ Practice what you learn. Wisdom is meaningless unless it accompanies action.

→ Seek out those on the border of awareness and initiate them.

→ Experience every sensation imaginable, and then some

→ Gather with your path to share your learning

Following the path

Sensation for the sake of itself is not a philosophy that many can understand. But to those of this organization, it is a doctrine suited to life itself. After all, life is a brief flicker for many, and the droll comment "What will it matter in a hundred years?" is all too true for most creatures. Life is a short-lived gift. Failing to explore this gift in all its dimensions is like squander the gift, setting it aside on a shelf where other objects of little interest accumulate. And how else can life be experienced, but through the senses? This is the secret the sensates know: To feel is to live, and to live is to feel.
