===Original Meagharism===
The exact contents of Original Meagharism are controversial. This is due to the fact that the original writings of Father Meaghar are scattered, and not exactly cohesive. This combined with hundreds of years of secret Meagharite philosophers adding to the canon and giving the credit to Father Meaghar himself, this makes the exact ideological precepts of the ideology somewhat unclear. The main ideas of the philosophy which are all agreed upon is that it expressed opposition to the religious order of the Milofites, partially basing his refutation on a lack of divine intervention, with the Milofites being defeated handily in the Rodokan War, and refuted the idea of divine intervention on behalf of the Acronians due to their losses at sea.
The core of the Philosophy, which is what distinguishes all of its forms from other philosophical schools is the Meagharite Concept of Discipline. This discipline is divided into two distinct forms, which the Philosophy holds as equally important for the proper function of an individual and of a society. The first form of Discipline is called '''Pearsanta''' in the original Durdneelian, usually translated as Personal Discipline. Pearsanta is described as control over the Self, over ones emotions and actions, the ability of the individual to understand and act upon the world in a way that is moral and allows for the function of the individual in society. The second form is called '''Comhchoiteann''', or Collective Discipline. This form is what the Philosophy describes as the actual functioning of society. It is the ability of the individual to share a collective will with their Comrade-Soldiers, allowing them to work together to make society function in the best way for all, rather than to the benefit of Theist Authorities.
