Editing Cult of Ecstasy (section)

=== Code of Ananda ===
Sh'Zar realized quite quickly that while all the pleasure in the world and chasing it is a net good for Cultists, this gaggle of meth addicts and nymphomaniacs need a little bit of guidance to keep them from tearing themselves, and the tradition, to shreds and committing exceptionally dangerous crimes. Thus, he set down the Code of Ananda, which attempts to set guidelines for all Cultists on what "Acceptable Behavior" is.

The Code reads as follows:
* '''I. Thou art miraculous: So are we all.''' - Don't use your magic to lord over Sleepers. They might Awaken someday.
* '''II. He who spits upon his good right hand shall find the left one fails him in need''' - Help your fellow Cultist if he needs it, and don't take it for granted. You're gonna need help eventually too.
* '''III. Each gold coin yields two like it; each stalkgiven creates a bundle. Yet, each coin taken turns therest to dross, and one bundle gone creates a famine. Thus shall a Seer count his deeds.''' - Don't fuck up the magic blunt rotation. Help your fellow Cultist and Sleeper with your findings if you can.
* '''IV. Some minds rest best asleep. Stir not thosewho would not waken otherwise.''' - Don't wake up Sleepers willy-nilly. A hotly debated topic among the Cult since it's very much against the "push the boundaries of personal reality" thing that the Cult was founded on. Without a doubt the part of the code most broken or ignored by it's more unsavory characters.
* '''V. Truths foreseen are not always truths.''' - Don't believe everything your visions tell you and ''certainly'' don't assume your magic brought upon by taking Hyper-Percocet is fact.
* '''VI. If a man (or a woman) would rend another’s passions, let him be as one torn by wild dogs. For passions are the seat of the Self, and if they bleed, so too does the soul.''' - If anybody's using their magic to do rapes or fuck people's brains up, you have full permission to blow them up.
* '''VII. Let each Seer account his own deeds, and if those deeds should want for wisdom or kind-ness, let him be put forth to weep alone''' - It's not a Cult if you're on your own. Don't be a shut-in, show up to Cult meetings, learn what people have to teach. 
* '''VIII. Humor cooleth blood: Wrath spilleth it.''' - Don't harsh your own buzz by taking yourself seriously.
* '''IX. Even trees rent by lightning may grow new fruit.''' - This one is the subject of much more scholarly debate, as it's either referring to the Cult being capable of redeeming someone's defiled understanding of Passions, or that those who fall in the Cult have a chance at redemption.
* '''X.  A  fool  feels  no  fear;  A  Sleeper  remains shackled by it; A Master transcends it, yet recalls itswisdom. It is good to be afraid: It is folly to bow to terror.''' - Be free to test your boundaries and your limits, but don't do something blatantly stupid. Understandably a ''lot'' of the Cult's initiates fuck this one up the hardest.

As you can probably tell from reading, it's mostly just "don't be a dick' written ten different ways, but it's important to keep hammering that point home because the Cult's understanding of pleasure is ''very'' Slaaneshi, if we're looking at it from the outside.
