Mithra rule

Helian Way doctrine. This page describes the stated beliefs and theories of the Helian Way, a new religious movement founded in 2026. Doctrine is attributed and reported in an encyclopedic voice; it is not presented as established fact.

The Mithra rule is the Helian Way's principle that every exchange—of work, money, service or household duties—is agreed in full before it begins. It is named after Mithra, the Iranian god of the covenant.

Doctrine

Tradition / belief "What is owed when one serves? Exactly what was agreed before the service began." The rule applies to volunteer credits on the open ledger, to cooperative work, and to the Covenant (marriage), whose terms are agreed in writing beforehand. Tradition / belief The rule is tied to the Founder's line "your sweat is your own, your blood is your own, your life is your own". In a public talk he set agreed, professional terms against what he called a "favor system": "you always work in a favor system with your boyfriend, your mom or such. So it's not a professional relationship". See No more secrets, no more favor.

Background

Established In Iranian religion Mithra means "contract" or "covenant". The Avestan Mihr Yasht (Yasht 10) praises Mithra as the god who watches over agreements and punishes the "contract-breaker". See Zoroastrianism and Mithraic mysteries.

Evidence and critique

Established The Catechism notes that US law requires employee wages to be paid in money, so volunteer credits can be rewards but not a substitute for wages.
