it's still in its infancy, but we've got some general ideas.
one general idea is to live and act like the ponies in the show, especially in the way you treat other people, and your friends.
some have suggested that we act more like ponies when we are children, but as we age and the real world starts to get to us more and more, we loose that mentality and those ideals. So we strive to follow the example that is set by the ponies in the show and improve our lives, our relationships (especially friendships), and society as a whole

I think that's a decent explanation, but if you have any more questions, you're free to ask

What's this thread about?

Give me a quick rundown.

I have had certain spiritual enlightenments myself and want to know if they align with the knowledge in here.

>>30875487
>>30875480

The post above pretty much nails it. Join the Discord Server to dive into it.

Essentially, it's to improve our lives and the lives around us by using the lessons and values provided by the show. We want to live the way we would in Equestria.

Say that we each did get our own seperate Equestria, would there be absolutely no way to contact each other? Or would there be a 4chan equivalent linking us together?

Very related

>>30879174
That's actually an interesting question. So essentially, we each get our own personal piece of Equestria. And it's really to each their own. If your personal idea lies with simply living alone with ponies, then you don't have to. If it's with other anons, then all the other anons with the same preference will come together in the afterlife.

You get to decide how you want your world to work.

>>30879174
As someone who's been knee-deep in this stuff for years, I've applied this idea to the afterlife in general. So that being said, we would have a way to "connect" to other afterlifes. Imagine instances servers for an MMO.

This is for all the Anons out there struggling.

I know things might be tough. I know things might be unfair or dark or bleak. But just please listen. If you're here reading this, you probably like ponies. You probably caught an interest in this thread's specific topic in some way. Just know that the ponies love you. They may seem far away, but if you keep that bond, that little fire in you burning, they WILL be there for you.

Equestria may seem far away or impossible, but it honestly is truly much closer than that. If you keep it close to your heart, then one day, I swear on it, that you will be able to finally relax there and hug them. One day you'll open your eyes, you'll be laying on your back in a field or a forest clearing or a town square, and this will be the first thing that greets you.

Bless your mornings and your nights anons.

As a devil worshiper, Discord would be the equivalent to Satan.

>>30881174
In a way, he's reformed though if you're making that comparison - even the pure concentration of every tenet that runs counter to friendship is still deserving of love, friendship, and compassion.

>>30881736
Wish he wasn't reformed.

>>30881174
Hardly. Discord is a neutral spirit of chaos who just likes doing silly shit for teh lulz. Discord is /b/ (or rather, was, in both cases). Tirek would be closer to that mark.

>>30880456
Jesus made Equestria real

>>30881747
Well Discord is a lot better character, but Tirek is Satan. Why not both?

>>30881766
No. He only gave us an impenetrable window to look through.

I perpetually carry around a necklace with the image of Celestia underneath my shirt. When I hit a low moment or need to balance myself out I find somewhere quiet where I can just hold it and reflect on what they'd do. Not exactly prayers in the traditional sense of long winded psalms, but it feels special to me.

Would any of you bring this up with someone IRL? Has anyone?

>>30887051
I do when I want people to stop talking to me.

>>30887051
I simply say that my religion is a bit different.

>>30875480
Not that Anon, but I'm totally down for all of this. It's a decent philosophy. I get hung up on this though

>>30879225
I can't believe in an afterlife, but I'd believe that in a cheating metaphorical sense we can "be" with the ponies by acting like a pony towards others in the best sense of the word like >>30875480
says.

"The real world", i,e, society wears everyone's childlike ideals and good nature down. War destroys your hope. Work corrupts your motivation. Money distorts your sense of value. If we strived to be good ponies and could believe everyone else is a good pony, maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe we would feel better knowing we're doing the right thing.

I would like to hear the good word from the Book of Friendship.

I wonder if our sins will count against us in some way. Thoughts?

>>30892187
In the Discord, we have decided that you can repent for sins in a variety of ways.

I was thinking about this thread at work. I had a silly question to ask but then I realized there were more interesting questions to ask.

Are you taking good care of yourselves? Watching your weight and your vices? Grooming well? That's what ponies would do.

My silly question was if any of you grew out your "mane"? Ive grown mine for unrelated reasons. It's fun to take care of. I was hazed for a while but now I'm the skinny long haired guy at work.

>>30892462
And the conclusion was...? How would we go about doing that?

>>30892993
They'd probably be disappointed in me, I don't take very good care of myself...

>>30892993
I don't know about others, but I've been going to the gym 3 times a week since last November. Gone from skellymode to not so Skelly. Ponies were my motivation. Literally. The /fit/ Anon in Equestria threads are what inspired me to start lifting.

I take good care of myself for the ponies

>>30893286

>Acceptance: You must understand that life isn't cleaned up in 22 minutes or a few episodes like the show is. In order to correct and make things right, it could take weeks or even years to pull something together that was once broken or damaged. This may seem sad and unappealing because it is. But that's why we have this show. We are meant to take the values and move forward with our lives. There's no point to live in the past. Our pony friends would want us to move one, and grow as individuals. Sometimes things are absolutely irreparable. That's just how things are. Acceptance will make you the stronger person. If you accept that the situation would get worse if you tried to fix it, you have to move on. The other point that I wanted to make was that you are never truly alone in the world, even if you feel that you are. You always have your friends thinking about you from the other side, cheering you on as you leap over every hurdle of your life. Trust them to trust you. You are loved by these ponies. Your friends.

>If you follow the values and be someone worth living in Equestria, then you will.
If you don't, then you simply don't get to go.
There are ways to repent for stupid shit that you've done
1. Give a true apology. Not a half-assed one you'd give to your mom for not taking out the trash, but a real heartfelt apology. You'll know which one is real yourself.
2. Recognize what you did was wrong, relay this to the other party and either ask to help fix things or relay back to option 1
Some things are irrepairable
Another part of this is acceptance
You never want to mope over something that you can't fix. You have to let yourself move on.
You have to understand that not everything can be fixed with a simple apology

>>30893485
Those are actually some really good points.

>>30893524
thx m8. Wrote em myself.

>>30893293
Who you're replying to; I am strongly considering going vegetarian because of ponies. I eat a lot less meat now. Maybe 3 or 4 meals a week with meat. My younger sister has gone vegetarian. I suspect ponies played a small part in it. has also inspired me to try baking sweet things when I normally don't bake sweets. Lemon surprise muffins, cherry oatmeal cookies with yellow sprinkles. Cinnamon cilantro cupcakes (hilariously weird).

I've become weirded out how much meat normal people eat now. Doesn't help how poor I am, my protein is mostly eggs.

>>30875228
I been in this fandom for about 6 years. Out of the cringy thing this fandom had done this the cringies thing I had ever heard.
I can look past FNaF pony crossovers and other shit but this just NO.

>>30878139
I blame the church

>>30894366
Making a religion from the show is pretty cringe tier. I would totally understand a life philsophy or moral code. But to actually believe being good will make you get to Equestria as your afterlife... It's silly. "Your afterlife is what you believe it will be" is some basic teenage "everyone is right" silliness to me. Besides, everyone knows you get to Equestria by drinking bleach.

>>30894366
>>30894510
Bruh at this point, we're all so cringy that it doesn't matter anymore. Might as well continue pushing the limit until we fall into Equestria by breaking the cringe barrier.

>>30894510
Okay, so the reason behind "it's your personal idea of Equestria" is that we don't know. If you try hard enough, you'll believe that you'll go to Equestria one day when you die. It's not a thing where it's definite that you'll go there. But if you believe hard enough, it doesn't matter. You'll live life a bit happier with the hope that you will.

>>30894629
Or in other words, the basis of a huge number of the world's other, more commonly accepted religions.

>>30894654
Yes, but this one has ponies that we've obsessed over for about a fourth of our lives. You don't have to buy into it. It just is.

>>30894769
Oh absolutely. I'm one of the ones in the Discord, I'm agreeing with you haha. What we do is really not that much different from others, so you're right, others don't have to buy into it, it just is, and it's what gives us peace.

>>30894308
If you decide to go vegetarian or vegan, keep in mind you'll have to pretty drastically alter your diet due to the lack of protein sources, it's not just a matter of dropping meat from your appetite.

A more sensible option would be to cut all meat products with the exception of milk and eggs, as they are used by the ponies in-show, and when combined with oats and fruits can make a 10/10 breakfast that more than satisfies your daily dietary concerns unless you have a labour intensive job.

Yeah, we know. It's not about Celestia specifically though. We just salvaged what we could of the previous one and made this.

>>30894851
People posted them in the old thread and in the discord, what drugs are you on fampai? It's constantly brought up.

At this point it's less of a "let's make a defined thing" and more of a "let's talk about a defined thing together". Comfort in numbers, I suppose.

>>30894308
>>30894795
Drop us some recipes please, a change of dietary lifestyle is a fantastic idea.

For that matter I wonder if anyone has made "show adherant" kinds of recipes for things they've eaten.

For those where it is night, may Luna guard you dreams and give you a peaceful, safe rest, for your work for the day is done.

For those where the dawn breaks, may Celestia's light give you strength and guidance to make it through the day.

>>30893485
I suppose I have some friendship letters to burn.

>>30894795
Well yeah, veganism is ridiculous from a dietary standpoint and too difficult. I was thinking vegetarian so animal products are fine as long as an animal doesn't have to die to get it. So eggs and dairy would be fine for me. Plus ponies clearly eat eggs and drink milk from cows.
