While Grunge and Pirates dominate news in Vrassa, a new Spiritual Group forms in Suldanor
Luthori Spiritual revivalist Movement builds a small base near SulariSulari Suldanor
April 7, 4915A small group of adherents of the Hosian sect known as "The Path: prepare to welcome Luthorian leader Rosalie Gardener whose arrival is "imminent"Kalistanis are often drawn to interesting foreign things. The global evangelism of a newly organized Hosian Revivalist movement known as "The Path" is certainly no different. In Kalistan, more than 250 former members of various other Hosian denominations have been convinced to join the new group called The Path and move to the Group's new ranch outside of Sulari.
"I was a Brethrenist all my life," said one new convert who referred to himself as Sprite. "But after hearing Sister Rosalie Gardner speaking in Baltusia a few months ago, I decided that Brethrenism is a far too complex path to my own salvation. For example, Brethrenism doesn't have anyone telling you what to do or what to believe. How could I possibly know whether I am on the correct Path with nobody telling me? I can't figure that kinda thing out for myself. Humans need to be told by those who actually are in touch with the mind of the One."
Another new convert to the path, a young woman aged 20, was very enthusiastic about the lifestyle she has encountered with the Path so far. "Like, we totally got to choose our own names when we got here. I chose Poppy because the flower is not only beautiful, but it also holds the mysteries of the universe itself." When asked what her name was before she joined the Path, she said "I used to be named Poppy, because that was my grandmother's name. Now, my name has so much more meaning, not only for me but like also for the whole world(?)"
The tract of land upon which the Path adherents are building what can only be described as a Commune, is set up in the hills to the south of Sulari. "We're pretty self sufficient up here," said Compound Direct Snow Lightning. "At the Path Center for Spiritual Growth and Change, we have a common house, where we do not only all our cooking and eating, but also our praise celebrations, where visiting dignitaries will speak, where we hold meditation and classes on the Path. Generally speaking, its our all purpose building. And then you see, over there we have our residences: all people staying here, either permanently or temporarily get to live in two person rooms, which let's say, encourage them to be out and about, rather than spending a lot of time isolated from the group, and over here we have the veggie farms, where people spend their mornings, farming and singing and contemplating the words of our Leader."
In addition to the vegetable farm, the group has built their own water and power stations, have working sanitation, a small school for children, and a barn for cows. "We put it to a vote and some members are not ready," said Lightning, "to give up their old ways yet. In time, and meanwhile, we can use their dung for several things including fertilizer." He made sure to point out that the cows will not be slaughtered under any circumstances and will have free roaming rights in the sizeable 14,000 acre pasture adjacent to the settlement. In addition to all its own food, the group also grows cannabis, opium poppies, psilocybin mushrooms, and a small amount of coca, all for sale to ODEN to generate revenues for the Compound.
The Path, a new vegan diner in downtown Sulari, the Path's revenue generating operation in Kalistan"In addition, we will be generating revenue," said Lightning, who introduced our reporter to the Business Manager, a person named Toadstool Rainbow. "While we've been building the settlement here at the Center, we've also purchased, and cleansed, I might add, a small diner in downtown Sulari where we can sell vegan food to hungry customers." When asked if that restaurant would include any proselytation, Rainbow was explicit. "No. It is just a business. We will have materials there on the counter and we aren't gonna hide who we are or what we are doing but we aren't gonna force it on anyone. We just want people to be able to get some good food in downtown Sulari. If you want to see the Evangelists, follow me."
Lightning went to a small garage where a number of young women all with long hair and white linen clothing were in the process of readying their MoCo mopeds. "An Eliyahu Biker Gang," said Lightning with a laugh. Many of the women rolled their eyes. One of the women explained her conversion strategy. "All I plan on doing is inviting some guys down at the beach to a Party, you know?" she said. "Guys like cure girls who smile and flirt a little bit. But you know it's all God's work. It it gets some scripture in their hands, so much the better!"
It is hard to say what the message of the Path is, but as seekers of a New Message grow in number, look to see more information about the teachings of the Path to come out.
