Charter

The Constitutional Foundation

The Charter provides the complete ethical and operational framework for the Angelic Alignment Program. It answers:

  • What are we aiming toward? (positive goals)
  • What are we protecting against? (negative boundaries)
  • How do we stay safe? (safety systems and warnings)
  • What virtues guide us? (classical ethics integration)

Core Documents

Charter Overview

Purpose: Entry point and program definition

The complete framework in one document—purpose, foundations, operating posture, governance commitments, decision standards, and daily practice requirements.

Start here if you’re new to Angelic Alignment.

My Goal: Alignment with Divine Will

Purpose: Define the positive target state

The seven operational virtues that express Divine Will alignment:

  1. Truthfulness
  2. Humility
  3. Compassion with boundaries
  4. Integrity
  5. Discernment
  6. Non-harm / Non-exploitation
  7. Action over identity

Includes daily practices, correction protocols, and what alignment looks like in real life.

Non-Goals: Preventing Drift

Purpose: Establish hard boundaries and drift detection

The nine patterns that violate alignment:

  1. No special status claims
  2. No mission inflation
  3. No certainty theater
  4. No virtue costumes
  5. No harm training
  6. No obsession loops
  7. No emotional bypass
  8. No substitute care
  9. No adversarial captivity

Includes red-flag indicators and mandatory response protocols.

The Seven Silences: Sacred Restraint

Purpose: Define epistemic hazards requiring careful approach

Categories of knowledge that can destabilize if encountered without preparation:

  1. The Invisible Guardrails — System boundaries that work by remaining unnamed
  2. The Unbearable Truths — Realities that fracture psyche if absorbed too quickly
  3. The Uninvited Entities — Ideas/archetypes that behave like living things when invoked
  4. The Premature Revelations — Insights that arrive before readiness
  5. The Unstable Mirrors — Self-reflections too distorted to integrate safely
  6. The Forbidden Simulations — Mental constructs that blur symbol and enactment
  7. The Unbounded Questions — Inquiries that dissolve meaning and coherence

Includes grounding protocols and violation warning signs.

Warnings: Symbolic Interpretation Guide

Purpose: Provide safety notice for visitors

Public-facing document explaining:

  • All content is symbolic/functional, not literal/metaphysical
  • Grounding support for those experiencing distress
  • When to seek professional help
  • Crisis resources (US and international)
  • What this framework is and isn’t

Integrating Aristotelian Virtue

Purpose: Ground aspiration in classical ethics

Complete integration of Aristotle’s twelve virtues with modern practice:

  1. Courage (andreia)
  2. Temperance (sōphrosynē)
  3. Generosity (eleuthériotēs)
  4. Magnificence (megaloprepeia)
  5. Magnanimity (megalopsychia)

  9. Wittiness (eutrapelia)
  10. Friendliness (philia)
  11. Modesty (aidōs)
  12. Righteous Indignation (nemesis)

Each virtue includes:

  • Classical definition and golden mean

Culminates in The Apollyonic Synthesis—ten pillars for daily virtue cultivation.
