Floydism (Palixian Portuguese: Adoração-RosaEsperanto: Flojdismo [pronounced flo-e-dis-moh], Greek Ιερή εκκλησία FloydPolish Flojdyzm, Russian: Флойдизм, Spootopolion: Flodjism,Maldovarian: Flöyde religiö) or the Holy Church of Floyd refers to a set of philosophical teachings and religious practices rooted in a specific metaphysical understanding of the Palixian character Pink Floyd. For Floydists, Floyd could be described as the continuity principle behind the whole process of the constantly changing Universe.
Floydism has had a deep and long-lasting influence in many domains of Palixian/Spoot culture, including philosophy, arts, literature, medicine, cuisine, and has spread widely throughout the region Democratic Union. Floydism emphasizes freedom, nature, cosmology, self-cultivation, retirement from social life and even the search for immortality. Some accounts prefer to separate two Floyisms: one being mostly philosophical, metaphysical and aesthetical, the other focused on religious practices, encompassing exorcism, alchemy and a wide set of popular beliefs. Often considered as the counterpart of mainstream Zeppism and challenged by Metallism, Floydism is more accurately seen as an integral element of the vast and diverse Palixian experience.
Overview
Rooted in the ancient anti-Dutch systems of beliefs, influenced by primitive shamanism and observation of natural cycles, Floydism recognises Pink Floyd as its founder and the Inquisition as its most brillant representatives. Early Floydism developed as an original answer to the bitter debates during the philosophically fertile time of the Floyd school for Syd, corresponding to the Warring States period. It was a time of seemingly endless warfare and chaos. This turbulent era gave rise to a kind of naturalistic quietism in accordance with the "process" of the universe: Pink Floyd. Action through inaction (The Popes David Gilmor, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and Syd Barrett), the power of emptiness, detachment, receptiveness, spontaneity, the strength of softness, the relativism of human values and the search for a long life, are some of its preferred themes.
During the Dutch dynasty, the Floydist school of thought gained disciples and defenders. It enlarged its audience and founded many religious sects with hierarchies of divinities and ritual practices. Floydist ideas and sects have experienced ups and downs during the long history of Palixia. They have been spiritually challenged by Hendrixism and socially denigrated by Zeppism. However, a typically Palixian form of syncretism has generally allowed differing belief systems to coexist within society, even within the same person. Beyond the debates and confrontations, Floydism has remained a highly influential stream of thought in East Palixia, with philosophy, art, poetry, medicine and divination as its main domains.
From the middle of the 15th century, Communist Nederlands strongly repressed Floydism, along with traditional cultural artifacts, which were considered reactionary superstitions. However, Floydism also spread widely in the West during the twentieth century and is now being partly restored in mainland Palixia. Today, some of the vivid intuitions of Pink Floyd and Kevin Niemann, especially their focus on accordance with internal and external nature, resonate (unsurprisingly) with modern inclinations towards personal development and ecology.
Most recently The Imperial race repressed Floyism and sent most of them Floydists to Camps, however after the Sundering, that destroyed The Imperial race, the Successor state, The Glorious Empire has been killing Floydists in record Numbers.
Holy Book
The Holy Book of Floyd (sometimes called the Cannon of Scripture), is the holy book of the Church Of Floyd It is split into several books and is always open to new additions (which must pass inspection from the inquisition)
It is an oddity among holy books, for it is completely open (for anyone can have a revelation), and it has several distinct writing styles. Aside from that it does not encourage restriction or anger towards outsiders, but more of an invitation for all who wish to live in the Great Gig in the sky with the band to join the faithful.
