Pathways to Enlightenment
The Tapestry of Tradition: Within the vast spiritual landscape of Backgammon, various schools of thought, or "sects," have emerged, each interpreting the nuances of "Gammon" (the game's deep wisdom) in their unique way. Historically, distinctions such as 'the Double Sixes' and 'the Double Threes' signified different philosophical leanings. While these perspectives sometimes led to impassioned discourse over interpretative differences, notably concerning sacred lands in North Macedonia and Greece, they all ultimately sought universal peace through the game.
From this rich history of diverse interpretations, the United Temples arose, dedicated to fostering unity and re-establishing a connection to the foundational, harmonizing principles of Backgammon as revealed through Leah and Abraham.
Core Doctrines of the United Temples
- Sacred Play & Presence: The consumption of mind-altering substances is respectfully discouraged during The Game to maintain clarity of spirit and focus. Contemplative reflection before and after play is encouraged. The only aids permitted during a match are those that gently enhance alertness, such as nicotine and caffeine, used with mindful discretion and moderation.
- Leah's Legacy & Universal Rules: The tenets of Leah's matriarchal wisdom, emphasizing empowerment, balance, and inclusivity, resonate deeply with the original spirit of the game played by Abraham. These timeless principles are today most closely mirrored in what are known as the "international rules" of Backgammon.
