Human understanding of the Creator has been a continual refinement.
Zzabur initially said you could only know God to a certain level.
Beyond that, he was incomprehensible. Hrestol disproved Zzabur
by revealing the Joy of the Heart and the God Learners improved
on Hrestol by contacting the One Mind.
Beyond that, things start to get a wee bit messy. The Loskalmi
improved on the God Learners by discovering the Prime Mover.
The Rokari believe the Prime Mover to be a pile of steaming dog
shite and corrected the subtle flaws in God Learner view of the
Material World, hence their alternative label as "Realists" IMO.
Arkat did a whole lot of stuff. He's not relevant to improving
the understanding of the Creator as he stopped going to church
(amongst other atrocities). The Carmanians are likewise hampered.
The Sedalpists are post-God Learners who incorporated Silence
mysteries into their liturgy. The other Malkioni of Umathela are
just too lax to actually give a damn.
