1. The Third Tenet reminds us that the Great Fractal is the eternal and infinite interplay of the war between good and evil and the dance between masculine and feminine.
2. When two sides exchange in the belief that the other is evil, one has war.
3. When two sides exchange in the belief that the other is good, one has peace.
4. War is when good and evil exchange.
5. Peace is when masculine and feminine exchange.
6. The absence of exchange does not connotate peace, but an excess of order. Because an excess of order does not entertain the gods, they tend to cause it to dissolve in warfare.
7. War is not an inherent evil, but rather an intensification of the experience of passing through the Great Fractal.
8. Peace is not an inherent good, but rather a relaxation of the experience of passing through the Great Fractal.
9. While at war, one can be certain that the gods are watching.
10. While at festival, one can also be certain that the gods are watching.
11. It is false that peace does not entertain the gods, but they prefer festivals to stagnant peace.
12. The gods are appalled by those who live in peace but fail to appreciate it. They bring war upon such ungrateful types.
13. If one can learn to overcome the suffering of war, then one is likely to entertain the gods.
14. If one can learn to appreciate the suffering of war, then one is certain to entertain the gods.
15. War is the natural order of material life, therefore those who overcome it entertain the gods.
16. Peace inherently entertains the gods by virtue of being unusual. A stagnating peace, however, causes them to will chaos upon the stagnant.
17. Without awareness of the Four Tenets, there exists only war.
18. Understanding the First Tenet means having compassion for all living beings.
19. Understanding the Fourth Tenet means that one’s fragment of consciousness radiates peace into the material world.
20. The Elementalist is not prejudiced, neither for or against, either war or peace. The most important thing is to play one’s role in entertaining the gods.
21. War and peace span a spectrum of intensity that is akin to the spectrum spanned by fire and earth. The most intense warfare can be compared to the hottest fire.
