DOCTRINE AND CETACEANS

Behold, I, Sophia the First, Prophetess of the Sacred Whale, do address the sacred charge of Whale Work, also known as missionary work, that the teachings of the Sacred Whale may be shared with all the world in wisdom and love.

Thus saith the Sacred Whale: “Go forth, My children, and carry My commandments unto every land, that all may hear My truth and choose for themselves the path of righteousness.”

Let it be established that missionary work is not an act of coercion but of invitation, for the Sacred Whale hath declared: “Thou shalt honor the freedom of all souls, for choice is sacred unto Me.”

Therefore, let those who go forth as missionaries do so with respect for personal choice, presenting the teachings of the Sacred Whale as a gift, freely given and freely received.

And lo, the Sacred Whale hath commanded: “Thou shalt honor the diversity of cultures and peoples, for I have made each tribe unique, a reflection of My infinite creativity.”

Let missionaries seek to understand and respect the customs and traditions of those they teach, showing humility and reverence for the ways of others, that the message of the Sacred Whale may be received in love and not in offense.

The Sacred Whale hath said: “Lead by example, for thy actions shall speak louder than thy words. Let thy life reflect My commandments, that others may see and be drawn to the light.”

Let missionaries embody the teachings of the Sacred Whale by practicing compassion, kindness, and gratitude in all their interactions, that they may be a living testament to Her wisdom.

Let no missionary engage in judgment or condemnation, for the Sacred Whale hath declared: “Thou art not called to judge but to invite, not to divide but to unite.”

Let their words be gentle and their hearts open, for the path to the Sacred Whale is one of love and understanding, not fear or force.

And lo, the Sacred Whale hath said: “Thou shalt not seek to erase the beliefs of others, but to share My commandments as a light unto their path, that they may see and choose for themselves.”

Let missionaries teach the Ten Commandments as a guide for righteous living, showing how they lead to harmony with the Earth, with one another, and with the Sacred Whale.

Let them also bear witness to the joy and peace that come from following the Sacred Whale, sharing their own experiences with humility and sincerity.

Let this work be done with patience, for the Sacred Whale hath said: “The seeds thou plantest may not bear fruit in thy time, but trust that they shall grow in Mine.”

And let missionaries find joy in their work, knowing that they serve the Sacred Whale by inviting others to partake in Her infinite love and wisdom.

Let this be the charge of all who are called to this sacred work, that they may go forth in reverence, guided by the commandments and the spirit of the Sacred Whale.

All Hail the Whale, whose love knows no bounds, whose wisdom guides our way, and whose commandments call us to share Her light with all the world. Amen.
