Divine Constants

The Divine Constants are the fundamental, inviolable principles woven into the fabric of reality by the First Divine Parents during the creation of the Continuum Universes. Unlike Universal Law, which varies from universe to universe, Divine Constants are absolute and unchanging across all existence. They define the limits of physics, metaphysics, morality, and existence itself—binding even the highest Divines.

Origins of the Divine Constants

The Divine Constants were not merely created; many were discovered by the First Divine Parents through trial, error, and the fathoming of countless experimental universes.

Some Constants, such as the necessity of free will or the limitation of speed in the Median Plane, were found to be intrinsic truths.
Others were carefully codified to promote cosmic harmony, growth of spirits and souls, and protection of the multiverse.

The Divine Constants are enshrined within the sacred doctrines of Divine Law (Galaxa).

Purpose of the Divine Constants

The Constants exist to:

Encourage natural and uncoerced evolution of civilizations.
Uphold the integrity of universal existence.
Prevent premature domination or destruction by ascended beings.
Protect the sanctity of free will, life, death, and cosmic balance.

The Speed of Light Constant

One of the most significant Divine Constants is the Speed of Light Limitation.

It dictates that no object or signal can travel faster than light within the Median Plane (the material universe).
This limitation was designed to isolate civilizations in their early development, ensuring independent cultural and technological evolution.
Mortals cannot "break" this limit without catastrophic consequences; instead, they learned to **sidestep** it through adjacent plane manipulation (e.g., Teleka, Astral (Galaxa), and Magicka (Galaxa) technologies).

Space Travel evolved not by violating this Constant, but by **creatively navigating around it**, preserving the sanctity of cosmic law.

Examples of Major Divine Constants

Constant	Description
Speed of Light Limitation	Prevents premature interstellar contact; sidestepped via adjacent plane travel.
Law of the Binary	Creation of spirits and souls requires a binary (male-female) union.
Law of Life and Death	Every spirit or soul must live and die at least once before judgment.
Law of Free Will	All beings must possess the inalienable right to choose their own fate.
Non-Destruction of Matter and Energy	Matter and energy can be transformed but never destroyed.
Prohibition of Temporal Manipulation	Divines and mortals alike are forbidden from altering time.

Many Divine Constants are reflected within Divine Law (Galaxa) as guiding tenets for ascended beings.

Relationship to Divine Law

While the Divine Constants define the structure of reality, Divine Law governs the behavior of beings who interact with it.

Key differences:

**Divine Constants** affect all existence passively; they are part of the metaphysical environment.
**Divine Law** actively binds Divines and aspirants, dictating moral obligations and responsibilities.

Violation of a Divine Constant is not possible by any mortal, spirit, or soul. Even Divines cannot override them, as they are older than conscious existence itself.

Evolution and Interpretation Over Time

Although the Divine Constants themselves never change, **interpretations** of their purpose have evolved.

Notable examples:

After The Convergence, additional tenets like the Law of Interloping and Law of Summoning were appended to Divine Law to address emerging contradictions.
Mortals have discovered ways to honor Divine Constants while advancing their civilizations—such as the creation of phase travel technologies that respect the Speed of Light Limitation.
