Selenium puts great emphasis in Heroism, in cultivating warfare like one might take care of a flower.
A warrior, that sacrificed himself for a greater picture that he will most likely never come to understand, has an infinite value compared to a monotous, self-consuming life.
War is sacred, not in the sense of any known religion, but as in it's superior morality compared to a spiritual and materialistic lifestyle. Thus, war and the path of the Goddess have merged into a single entity: one cannot live, or even be, without the other.
A Dragoon's reality is objective, relying on a law of the divine, on a "more-than-life" basis.
Selenist reality is explained by two states:
The state of "becoming" is an inferior realm, being a transitory condition that paves the path of a superior way of being. For an example, the realization and acceptance that a Dragoon's duty is to serve Selen ever since they were born is a lesser state of being. The same could be said to a developing culture, or when a developing societal group is reaching towards the natural conclusion of the religiosity of war.
Victory in conquest simbolizes the domination of one's materialistic, carnal and spiritual life; eventually entering another realm of Being.
The second state of Being is a superior, permanent way of spirit that is rarely achieved. It indicates the conquering of decadence and defiance against corruption. Blessed Dragoons are heroes not in the physical, materialistic sense, but in the spiritual one. A higher life, or something greater, manifests itself only in death of the physical body to ascend in a higher purpose. Indeed, destruction of the carnal body meant liberation of the spirit; a force of an immortal and infinite crown would triumph against the finite.
