Delvian Seek

The Seek is a Delvian religion on Farscape. Practitioners of the Delvian Seek strive for inner enlightenment through self-control. They worship their deity The Goddess, and priests are called Pa'u.
The Farscape comic issue "Talkin' Kkore Blues" reveals that the Delvian Seek is based on the teachings of the prophet Ssaryn Zhaan, who convinced a number of Kkore to leave behind their ways and pursue peace.
==Pa'u==
As previously mentioned, a Pa'u is a priest or priestess of the Delvian Seek. There are multiple levels of Pa'u; at the start of the series, Zotoh Zhaan is a 9th Level Pa'u, and she ascends to the 10th Level at the end of "Rhapsody in Blue" after sharing Unity with Tahleen.
A Pa'u's level correlates to their training. As such, the higher level a Pa'u is, the more powerful they are. According to Tahleen, John Crichton has the mental capacity "well below" a Level One Pa'u.
The path of the Pa'u is a perilous one. As one's power grows, it threatens their sanity. Pa'u who ascend too quickly, and without the proper training, have been known to die from madness.
==Practices and Abilities==
Prayer is a major part of the Delvian Seek. It can be meditative or done for a specific purpose, such as when someone dies, and it often involves the use of various crystals.
Practitioners of the Delvian Seek are noted for their wide range of psychic powers, whether it be for harm or healing. Zhaan has demonstrated many of these types of powers and more. Through the Delvian Seek, she has: inflicted pain on others via her mind ("That Old Black Magic"); turned invisible ("Bone to Be Wild"); and shielded others from psychological harm ("Rhapsody in Blue").
