History

In Principia

In the Beginning there was Nothing.

Nothing was Conscious and
Nothing imagined Everything.

Something Exists because Nothing Exists
to create Anything that doesn’t Exist. 

In the End there was still Nothing because…

“Everything is Nothing… with a Twist”

The Church of Omnism

While the Church of Omnism was officially founded in June of 2021, the path to its creation began long before this. The Spiritual Pursuit of Truth has been a part of Human Culture long before recorded history. Many Religions have been created throughout history in an attempt to guide people in this pursuit.

Some of these Religions even claimed to be the one and only “True Religion”, warning of dire consequences for those who choose not to follow them. Christianity is one such Religion and the founder of the Church of Omnism writing under the pen names Veridicus Ficta, Lucky Fur the White Rabbit (and others) grew up in a Christian family. At the age of 8 years old he was told for the first time that “those who didn’t believe in Christianity would go to Hell”.

That night when he was alone, after bottling up the anger all day he unleashed it on the only one possibly responsible.

God! That’s not Right, that’s not Fair and I refuse to believe in anything that doesn’t accept everyone!”

There was no reply. But he began to imagine a Truth in which a person’s own beliefs determined what happened to them after death. That a heaven existed for each religion and everyone went to their respective ones. He held onto this possibility and as a teenager learned about Agnosticism, the belief that the person does not know the Truth. This resonated and he claimed to be Agnostic.

Sojourner

Over the years Veridicus acquired a passion for Cognitive Science. At 15 years old he began developing Artificial Intelligence and at 21 began his career in Software Engineering. During this time he never stopped studying mythologies and religions trying to find and understand “the Truth”. While he greatly admired the teachings of Jesus and other religious teachers, nothing ever resonated as “the (Whole) Truth”. Despite hearing others speak of their spiritual experiences, he never had his own. In his early 20s he discovered Naturalistic Pantheism which describes itself as a spiritual reverence for science and the physical universe as “God”. Though it still didn’t resonate as the whole Truth, it was “good enough” and he began identifying as a Pantheist.

“What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics.”
Nikola Tesla

At 25 years old Veridicus met a woman who spoke of her spiritual usage of Psilocybe Mushrooms and guided him during his first experiences with them. For the first time in his life he experienced what he felt was a true Spiritual Experience, even commenting “I wonder if this is what the people are feeling in Church”. Veridicus felt Oneness with the Universe he saw as God for the first time in his life. It no longer felt like “wishful thinking”, it felt real.

Veridicus began studying religion again in a new direction, studying the relationship between entheogens, spirituality and religion; with a goal of understanding their place and how they all connect.  Throughout history entheogens and other methods for entering altered states of consciousness have been used in spiritual practices across the world in every culture. Psilocybe Mushrooms, Peyote, Ayahuasca, Salvia Divinorum, Iboga, Bufo Toads, Amanita Muscaria, Cannabis and Ergot have all been used for this purpose for thousands of years, with derivatives of Ergot (LSD) and Sassafras (MDMA) being heavily influential in the spiritual practices of the New Age culture in the past century.

A New Purpose

In 2012 Veridicus found a new mission and purpose in life. A mission to Create a way for everyone to have safe and legal access to these spiritual tools. They were the reason for Veridicus discovering his own spirituality and experiencing the divine and he saw it as a tragedy that they were viewed by society as “drugs of abuse” and prohibited by law.

One major hurdle stood in his way. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) prevented this from being done legally. Thanks to the 1st Amendement and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Supreme Court ruled in Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal that the DEA must create an application process for a religious freedom based exemption to the CSA.

Of all the requirements only one posed a challenge. The Sincerity of Belief requirement required that the beliefs of the Church requesting an exemption must be sincerely believed. Veridicus spent the next 7 years studying every religion in depth and learning to write in such a way as to convey his sincere and true beliefs. Thanks to altered states of consciousness entheogens and empathogens create, Veridicus was also able to understand religious texts and beliefs in new ways that resolved the contradictions found between them.

The result is the beliefs of the Church of Omnism and the writings of Veridicus Ficta which attempt to continue the tradition of our ancestors living in tribal societies sitting around a campfire telling stories about the Gods, Love and Reality.

A Narrow Path

For those who still question the Truth of Omnism, I present you two verses from two completely separate religions.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to Salvation, and few find it.” –Jesus in Matthew 7:13-14

“The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; the wise say the path to Salvation is hard.” -Katha Upanishad (1.iii.14)

This is the path I walk in the creation of the Church of Omnism seeking exemption from the DEA from the CSA for the usage of entheogens and empathogens for spiritual purposes. The path has been long and narrow, with many opportunities for failure and destruction that could have cost me my life in more ways than one. It has been almost 30 years since that time when I was 8 years old and my conviction remains strong.

My beliefs are Sincere and My intentions are Pure.

Dea is Latin for Goddess.

She was referred to by the Egyptians as Ma’at; our Maternal Mathematics Matron and Matriarch Materializing the Matter Matrices of the Material Matrix or Mater (Mother) Nature.

I call Her KarMa. She calls me Thoth.

Whether you call Her Ma’at, Karma, Mathematics or Mother Nature does not matter. She is the Original Source of All Creation and the Virgin Mother of All. She is very Real and these sacraments are Her gifts to us.

Prohibition didn’t work for Alcohol in the 1920s and a massive wave of violent crime was the result. Prohibition didn’t even work when God tried it in the Biblical Garden of Eden.

I understand your desire for Safety and Harm Prevention. Those are my number one priorities in all things and I will meet whatever reasonable expectations you may have. But I expect you to provide this exemption. I’m respecting you, so respect me too.
