Jeppsism

Also called Svoreignity.

Jeppsian philosophy says there are many aspects of God, that God is infinite and that therefore there are an infinite number of ways to express God's nature. In this respect Jeppsian philosophy encourages diversity amongst religion but more significantly proclaims that there is not and never will be a final prophet.

Jeppsian philosophy says that divine intervention is a rarity, only granted to those who have been reincarnated, although the philosophy also says the supreme spirit of existence is love and that this spirit can be harnessed to better your chances of a fortunate life. Jeppsians believe God's voice is only experienced in the metaphorical or metaphysical sense and not audibly until after life. Jeppsism half-shares this belief with Jainism, which although is fundamentally a different religion, similarly does not believe in Gods that intervene in the world. However, as stated earlier Jeppsians do believe intervention is granted to those reincarnated.

There are sacred animals in Jeppsism, such as Wolves, Deer, Elephants and Parrots, each represent different aspects of God.

One of the most unique characteristics of Jeppsism is its deviation from common theological terminology. For example, a strong inner belief in God is not described as an 'inner conviction' but an 'inner convincement'. Similarly, God is not referred to as 'He', since Jeppsians do not believe God has a gender, but as 'Shi', meaning both he/she/him/her. Another unique aspect of Jeppsism is the absence of sexual intercourse in the afterlife. Jeppsism focusses strongly on sexual-restraint-related psychology and as such sexual thought is not considered an aspect of spirituality.

Whilst not all Jeppsians are celibate, Jeppsians in general are not sexual by character, or if they are then they are not recognised as formal followers. It is written that only Jeppsian Monks are recognised as formal followers. Jeppsian Monks are not necessarily celibate, but are most certainly not sexual by character; for example, Jeppsian Monks do not wear provocative clothing when in public. Svoreign Monks are celibate.

In Svoreignity/Jeppsism, the Svoreign Heart image represents the entire philosophy including inter-religious harmony or prophetship as a whole, the Svoreign Swans image represent the ministerial division/teachings and the Caduceus/Serpent or Snake & Staff image of Ophiuchus represents the Jeppsian unique philosophy teachings. The Snake & Staff is also portrayed by the 'SJ' emblem found in The Prognosister, the third part to The Svoreign Bible which is the first book to The Jeppsian Book Of The Living.

A devout Jeppsian follower would often wear the Snake & Staff Pendant, although this is not a written requirement of the faith.

Jeppsism is often called Svoreignity by those who practice celibacy, since Svoreign is both MR, Jepps' spiritual name and also the term given to being celibate.

Jeppsians believe that the absence of extraterrestrial life is more of a threat than its existence, since should a catastrophic event arise on earth, humanity would need to find a safe haven. The search for extraterrestrial life is thus strongly encouraged.

Simon Edward Jepps (also known as Svoreign Jepps by spiritual transcendence) founded the Jeppsian philosophy. The complete Jeppsian scripture is called The Jeppsian Book Of The Living which was originally founded on its first part The Svoreign Bible. TJBOTL is composed of poetry, music and a wealth of both philosophical and theological teachings, such as Creative Evolutionism, which teaches that God created a world bound by the laws of evolution and that therefore mankind descended from the apes.

Svoreign Jepps, although celibate, retains the title Mr, but adopting the definition Multi Religious. Likewise, Mrs would mean Multi Religious Spouse and Ms would mean Multi Spiritual. These prefixes would be adopted by Jeppsians of all languages, excepting those who are celebate, who would use Bro for Brother and Sis for Sister.
