What Exactly Is Geniism?

Question

What exactly is Geniism, & where can I get a good site on Geniism? Whenever I do a google search on it, practically all the sites I get are on Cao Daism.

Are there any sites with info on Geniism without them being on Cao Daism?

Answer 1

Geniism - When used in reference to a MetaPhysical Orientation as to Tradition, Culture or Preferred Flavour, is primarily defined, usually selfdefined by its members and/or adherents holding belief in an order of beings higher than human but less than deities which are responsible for the well being of individuals and groups and may be interacted with by people through prayer and other similar means as a primary or critical parameter of their Spiritual Paradigm. There is a belief that each sentient being is connected to one or more personal divine entities. Geniism is in some ways similar to Shintoism in Japan, but with indigenous Sino-Vietnamese roots. The Geniism tradition understands Genies as spirits higher than human beings who had great accomplishments in serving humanity. Each Genie is responsible for the wellness of all living beings of a village. In the old time, there is usually a small temple in each village for local people to come to pray for every thing concerning village interests such as weather, crops, communicable diseases etc. There is some similarity to concepts in Archaic Arcadian Philosophical thought, particularly such as Socartes' idea of the Daemon and/or Genius.
