9 Tenets

The 9 Tenets of the Randonauts were created as a system of principles and guidelines for the Randonauts movement to use. Being a huge international movement, it was necessary to form some core principles that sum up the heart of what being a randonaut is all about. Let’s check out what they are.

### Seeing in the dark

As Randonauts, we venture to places outside our conscious awareness, finding places we never would have known about, symbolically seeing in the dark. In this way, we are like the owl, the emblem of the randonauts. Owls represent wisdom, and hidden knowledge. By learning more about the landscape around you, and finding places outside your perceptual awareness, you are on the path to transforming to a wise owl.

### Venture with Mindfulness

The things you find randonauting are not always going to be immediately obvious, sometimes it takes a few tries to find something interesting, and sometimes it takes changing your perspective to see what the universe was trying to tell you at the point. Venturing with mindfulness means taking in your surroundings with all of your senses, really engaging your senses and paying attention. It also means paying attention to yourself, and what is going on in your mind and in your intuition while you randonaut. If you are on the way to a point, and you see something interesting, don’t be afraid to listen to the voice in your head telling you to curiously explore something that sticks out to you, because it’s not just the random point itself that is potentially interesting, but the entire journey that is random. Randonauting is like a form of meditation, where you are actively searching for synchronicities or personally meaningful coincidences. This kind of exercise can increase attention and learning ability, making you notice more things in your daily life even when not randonauting!

### Be Sincere

Randonauts is a sincerity based movement. When you are dealing with synchronicities and meaningful coincidences, these things can be extremely personal, and you can’t fake the funk. People staging videos desperate for attention and views are not being sincere, they are being clout chasers willing to do anything for attention. Randonauting is about sincerely seeking something, and honestly reporting what you find. You will always be able to tell the difference between someone who has sincerely gone randonauting and shared their special findings, and those that stage fake videos for entertainment and attention if you use discernment. Sincerity is also a big part of meta-modernism, which is a proposed set of philosophy, aesthetics, and culture that Randonautica is largely inspired by. At the end of the day, Randonautica started as an experiment where a small group of curious explorers were sincerely curious about the mysteries of quantum randomization and reporting the strange things that happen when you dive into randomness. Although Randonautica blurs the line between science, art, and a game, it takes a sincere person to submit truthful anecdotes, even though it may not garner them the most attention or views on youtube.

### High Vibes Intent

Randonautica, as a general rule reflects whatever you put into it. Whatever you start looking for, you will likely will end up seeing. For this reason we ask the Randonauts to keep a focused, disciplined and mindful attitude. By keeping your vibes high, you guard yourself from drifting into a negative timeline filled with despair and paranoia. You should stay focused on the things you want to manifest in to your life, or you risk bringing things in that you may regret in the future. By focusing on high vibes intentions, the highest being love, you are inviting powerful forces for good into your life.

### Value Inner Life

Mainstream culture is so quick to dismiss someone’s intuitive or instinctual feelings, but many people can relate to the anecdote of sensing something before it happens, or seeing something in a dream before it happens in real life. Randonautica shows us that our inner life can be reflected in the outside world, and the world is a reflexive environment that reflects what you put out there into it. Valuing an inner life is important for a randonaut because intuition is often disregarded in preference of logic and reason, as if something can’t be true unless it logically arose from its presuppositions. But by using randonautica, we have shown that you can indeed find treasures from the point of being totally lost. What technological advancements or paths are laying outside of the predetermined chains of reason and logic, that we can find by injecting a little randomness and discovering novelty on the other side?

### Bridge Culture Gaps

Randonautica is truly an international movement. We are attracting people with high vibrations from all over the globe and connecting them together to share their experiences, and act as advisors and friends on each other’s paths. But this is not all sunshine and rainbows, as there are many instances of a culture or group of people clashing with another group through history, and those old artifacts can remain even in our little group of Randonauts. It is advised to attempt to bridge these culture gaps, and take the high road. We are trying to build a mythology based on curiosity, outside of political and old world cultural associations. Rather than relying on judgement, always try to be empathetic to another randonaut, and even if they seem a little off, try to put yourself in their shoes and at least attempt to understand their point of view. This isn’t always possible, no one is perfect, and conflicts do happen, even within the randonauts! But we can do the work of intentionally breaking culture boundaries to create a culture that spans all classes across the globe, with the intent of uniting together in the heart center.

### Transform and Shift

When you go on your first randonaut point, you are willingly leaving the stasis field, or complex set of causal events that keep you locked in to your deterministic probability tunnel. This can create a cascade of events that never would have happened had you not deviated from your routine using Randonautica. These adventures outside of the stasis field put you on the path to wisdom, and transforming into a person with knowledge and awareness of their surroundings, knowledge of places around them they never would have discovered before, and a connection with people all over the globe teaching you about their culture things you never would have known before you joined the Randonauts.

### Bring a Trash Bag

Be respectful of the environment and always leave the place you traveled to better than what it was before.

### Synchronicity

Diving into randomness to find connections and meaning for both the individual and the community. Using serendipitous occurrences to guide you on your path.
