A new philosophy, which has emerged from Paridon in the Zherisia Cluster as individuals find fault in the Divinity of Mankind and the Divinity of the Masters.

Like the other two philosophies, the Divinity in All does not worship one or several gods and supports the concept of reincarnation and self-improvement through study and exercize. Unlike the other two philosophies, the Divinity in All is not opposed to the notion that the gods exist or that other faiths have validity, and is focused on embracing differences and learning from them, rather than enforcing a singular notion of perfection.

Dogma

Live; learn from others without preconception; grow as a person; teach what you have learned to others. We all spring from Divine Perfection, and we are all pieces of the puzzle to reassemble that state. Every living being is on the path to attaining Divinity, even if they do not know it.

Respect those who hold convictions different from your own, so long as these do not lead them astray from the path to perfection; they also have lessons to teach you.

Share in the joy and the abilities of others without envy.

Help those in need to become self-sufficient; heal those too hurt or too poor to tend their own wounds. Remember that mind, heart and soul can need healing just as much as the flesh.

Some souls will lose their way, and they must be either guided back or stopped from leading others unto harm, but violence should not be our first response. Do no more harm than is strictly needful.

Do not despair if you do not attain perfection in this cycle; eternity lies before us, and the wheel turns. You, also, shall return and live to try again.

Symbol

Any. Creatures from all walks of life and backgrounds come to the path, carrying their beliefs with them. What is important is not that one venerates one symbol out of the multitude, but that the symbol has meaning to them.

The Divinity in All is currently scattered and unorganized, as it is composed of individuals who are capable of seeing beyond the limits of dogma, who develop a spiritual understanding that all living creatures have a right to exist and something to contribute to the grand whole, rather than a strictly organized religion. Its adherents grow in strength through meditation on themselves, study of the other - any other - and finding a way to absorb the lessons the other has to teach into themselves, rather than ruthlessly pursuing power. Clerics of the Divinity in All are often inclined to travel, but may also take up the role of nurturing shepherds among those society has cast out and repressed.
