The affirmative vision of the future is, rooted in planetary realities Inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s Earthseed belief system (Parable of the Sower, 1993)*,
Auren Lumina embodies the prophecy and visual expression of a new faith, with the power to project an affirmative, interconnected future rooted in values that sustain meaning and existence.
Auren becomes the protagonist of the evolving faith Earthkind— expanding, reinterpreting, and illuminating the essence of Butler’s novel into a new visionary continuum.

Change is the fundamental principle.
Time flows, matter moves, and systems expand and develop. Movement is the natural state of existence.
To align with reality is to recognize that all things are in flux, that our perception, growth, and understanding arise from engaging in a circular and balanced practice within this continual transformation.

Earthkind projects into a future that affirms life in all its forms, where human imagination, action, and growth flow in alignment with the rhythms of the Earth —
as every choice reverberates through the biosphere, shaping not only individual existence but also the living systems of the planet.
It envisions a future that engages consciously, accountably, and creatively with the world, honoring the interdependence of all life, which is embedded in and inseparable from the cycles, flows, and networks that sustain existence.
(The goal is a prospering planet under the stars)

The Guidelines of Earthkind are evolving protocols—practical principles that adapt as humans and the planet change.
Language is a sacred technology — meant to be used with awareness and respect for the power it holds.

The Rituals exist to provide a grounded, prosperous existence within the framework of our planet.
They exist to emphasize respect for everything around you.
They exist to emphasize our communities.
They exist to engage both our minds and our bodies.

The Clergy: The Order of Continuance is the living memory of the world—to share is to continue;
to remember is to build.
Change is sacred; forgetting is dangerous.
They are the guardians of transmission. The Order ensures that knowledge—scientific, artistic, and cultural—flows unbroken across generations.
They secure what humanity has learned, adapting it for the next minds to build upon, honoring adaptation as sacred.

*Central to the novel is Lauren Olamina’s religion, Earthseed, which is based on the idea that “God is Change.”
Human beings shape God through their actions—we shape the future by what we do now.
Her belief system is action-oriented, adaptive, and grounded in skills, knowledge, and resilience—tools to navigate life; there is no room for blind faith.
The novel emphasizes the importance of forming communities, teaching, and learning from one another.
Life depends on cooperation, planning, and shared values.
