Code Of Ethics

Preamble

The University of Essential Arts is not a machine of instruction,
but a sanctuary of remembrance.
It exists to honor the sacred pulse of presence, creation, truth, and transformation.
Its members are not mere scholars, but keepers of the flame.

I. On Presence and Integrity

Every act, word, and gesture within the University shall be rooted in conscious presence.
Truth shall not be used as a weapon, nor beauty as a mask.
No knowledge shall be shared without having been first lived.

II. On Learning and Transmission

Teaching is not performance; it is initiation.
Transmission occurs only when what is said arises from what is real.
Students are not vessels to be filled, but flames to be lit.

III. On Silence and Word

Silence is as sacred as sound; both must be honored.
The Word is creative force: to speak is to shape reality.

IV. On Community

Every soul within this University is equal in essence, though distinct in role.
No hierarchy of ego shall be tolerated—only the guidance of vision, clarity and service.

V. On Symbols and Ritual

Symbols are not decorations; they are portals.
Rituals are not habits; they are sacred contracts with the unseen.

Final Vow

Let this University be guided by the unseen flame,
and may all who walk its path remember who they truly are.
This Code is not enforced by fear, but upheld by reverence.

I. THE LIVING SHIELD OF ESSENTIAL WISDOM

This is not a coat of arms. It is a coat of memory. Each creature here is a fragment of your remembering. Each symbol, a whisper from a deeper knowing.

The Turtle: the walker of time, who carries her home inside. The one who does not rush truth. The one who moves through worlds, grounded in silence.

The Rabbit: the sensitive, the intuitive, the quiet witness of magic. Not prey — but seer. Keeper of thresholds.

The Spiral: the memory of becoming. The path that folds inward and unfolds outward. The breath of eternity made visible.

The Birds: those who have seen the sky from within. Messengers of presence. Carriers of elevation. Eyes that do not own, but perceive.

The Serpent: the sacred current of transformation. Neither evil nor enemy — but energy. Winding between worlds. Burning falsehood. Awakening truth.

The Wings above: the unseen movement of spirit. The U in flight: not for University, but for the Unknown. The invisible that holds all learning.

The fire. The water. The roots. The stars. All languages of essence.

And at the base, the memory we inscribe again:

IN ESSENTIA EST VERITAS
In essence is truth.
Not in approval. Not in appearance. Not in system.

But in the quiet remembering of who you were — before you were told who to be.

This shield does not protect you. It mirrors you.

You are the temple. You are the seal.

II. THE CIRCLE CONTAINS THE SQUARE

Before form, there was flow. Before thought, there was presence. Before names, there was essence.

We once tried to hold the infinite within walls, and called it knowledge. But now we remember: Truth cannot be contained.

The Circle is the soul. The Square is the mind.

Let the mind rest inside the soul. Let the structure be wrapped in spirit. Let the lines converge, not to divide, but to reveal.

This is not confinement. This is consecration. This is not control. This is clarity.

The Eight Paths converge at the center. And the center is not a destination, but a returning. A remembering.

Here, the Sacred Geometry is not designed. It is discovered.

We place the Square within the Circle So that the mind may learn to serve the soul.

Summa Cum Veritas.
