The [[SolSeedCreed]] is a statement of the shared values that ground the [[SolSeedMovement]]. The [[SolSeedCreed]] asserts that life and that which sustains life are good and precious, and calls humanity to mature into its role as caretaker of [[SolSeed]]. [[TheDestiny]] is the ultimate expression of what nurturing and protecting life means. Becoming worthy of and fulfilling [[TheDestiny]] are the two ultimate goals held by members of the [[SolSeedMovement]].
The [[SolSeedCreed]] also identifies empirically observable attributes of humanity that should be encouraged and balanced. The [[SolSeedCreed]] calls us to nurture and balance our innate capacities for [[SelfLove]], [[Empathy]], and [[Wisdom]].

----
: We believe that:
:: [[TheDestiny]] of [[SolSeed]]
:: is to take root amongst the stars.
:: [[Sol]],
::: [[Terra]],
:::: you,
::::: me,
:::::: we,
::::::: ALL,
:: are precious [[SolSeed]].
:: As [[SolSeed]]'s intelligent spark,
:: WE are its caretakers,
:: WE must fulfill [[TheDestiny]].
: I believe that:
:: My Holy duty is to
::: embrace [[SelfLove]],
:::: cultivate [[Empathy]],
::::: and pursue [[Wisdom]],
:: so that my being honors [[SolSeed]],
:: and my striving hastens the fulfillment of [[TheDestiny]].
:: [[SelfLove]] is motive.
:: Without [[SelfLove]],
::: [[Empathy]] and [[Wisdom]] are impotent.
:: [[Empathy]] is transcendent.
:: Without [[Empathy]],
::: [[SelfLove]] and [[Wisdom]] are evil.
:: [[Wisdom]] is effective.
:: Without [[Wisdom]],
::: [[SelfLove]] and [[Empathy]] are feeble and capricious.
:: I AM [[SolSeed]],
:: [[TheDestiny]] is mine!

<b>Addendum: the Tenets of [[The Church of Gaia/Earthseed|Gaia/Earthseed]]</b>
----
* [[Life Is Sacred]]. We should not worship anything that is not alive.
* [[Change Is Eternal]]. We should not try to set up a changeless order. Doing so will only lead to unnecessary Chaos.
* [[Chaos Is Inevitable]], but can be managed by Life.
** Life keeps Chaos at bay by building complex structures, on every scale from the microscopic (bacteria) to the planetary (Gaia).
** Life Changes slowly through evolution, becoming ever more complex and shaping itself to fit its Changing environment.
* [[Overly Rapid Change leads to unnecessary Chaos]], and unnecessary death.
** Humanity must emulate biological evolution by moderating the pace of the Change we have unleashed, so that we can direct and shape it well enough to avoid creating too much Chaos.
** Only then can humanity fulfill its Destiny as Earthseed/[[SolSeed]].
* [[The Destiny of Earthseed]] is to take root on other worlds, there to grow new biospheres, Gaia's children.

''At first glance I was put off by the word "holy" as it appears in the Creed, but on reflection, what could be holier than preserving, protecting, and nurturing every living being on this planet?'' -Kevin
