Prayer to Tentaklos

Oh, great Tentaklos.
Bless me with your tentacles.
Open my heart to those who need me.
Open my mind to see the truth.
Give me the power to do your work.

Does Tentaklos Exist?

You might be wondering if Tentaklos really exists or if he's just something that I made up. That is a matter of definition. The concepts that Tentaklos represents, love, truth, peace and action; those exist. But Tentaklos as a smiley-face with tentacles? Does he exist? I like to think that he sent me divine inspiration to make him up. Actually, whether Tentaklos really exists is irrelevant to the message of Tentaklism.
Remember:
"Tentaklos does not demand that you worship Him, as long as you worship Life.
Tentaklos does not demand that you serve Him, as long as you serve Goodness.
Tentaklos does not demand that you believe in Him. Simply believe in Yourself."

The Eight Tentacles, part 4 of 4: Tentacles of Action

"I make people stand up for what's right. I have aided many heroes throughout history. I am Courage."
We do not live in a perfect world. There is much injustice and evil. If good people do nothing, this will not change. When we see injustice take place, we should make a stand against it. We should not accept evil. We should always do what we can to make the world a better place.

"I make life worth living. Without me, the world would be a boring place. I am Fun."
What good is life if you don't enjoy it? While we should strive to help others, we should not forget our own needs and wants. It will be easier to make others happy if you are happy. Always remember to have fun! :)

The Eight Tentacles, part 3 of 4: Tentacles of Peace

"I make sure people are treated equally. I make sure no one is cast out. I am Tolerance."
In our world there is much racism, homophobia, sexism and other types of intolerance. This saddens Tentaklos. All people are equal and Tentaklos wants us to realize this.

"I turn enemies into friends. I walked the earth as Jesus to preach to the people. I ended up crucified, but I have forgiven those who did it, because I am Forgiveness."
If someone has wronged you in the past, don't hold it against them now. This will only lead to a vicious circle of resentment. If we are to live in peace with each other, we have to be able to forgive.
