The following rules must be followed by faction members:
- No staring at yourself or others.
- You may only see your reflection once every three months while getting your hair cut.
- Sit quietly in public. You may laugh and joke once you get home.
- Sarcasm is not acceptable as it is always at someone else's expense.
- Curiosity is rude, don't ask questions.
- Do not lust for power as it leads men into dark and empty places.
- Each member of the family must take rotating turns cooking the meals and cleaning up.
- Food passes around to the right at the dinner table
- Children may not speak at the dinner table unless they are addressed directly.
- After dinner, the family will gather in the family room where the children can talk.

I will be my undoing If I become my obsession.
I will forget the ones I love If I do not serve them.
I will war with others If I refuse to see them.
Therefore I choose to turn away From my reflection, To rely not on myself But on my brothers and sisters, To project always outward Until I disappear.*
(*Some members add a final line: “And only God remains.” That is at the discretion of each member, and is not compulsory.)
