Doctrine of Imbalance

The Doctrine of Imbalance of Uriopoges the Wiseass is one of the so-called "secret doctrines" of Remigrationism. It was unknown to Remigrationism scholarship until the recent discovery that the Five-Hundred Injunctions found in the Transactions spell out an acrostic message. This was likely overlooked for so long because of the marginal nature of the Transactions. Initial reactions were highly skeptical -- the Injunctions are hurried marginal notes, after all -- but the improbability has convinced the field that the Doctrine is legitimate and inspired a search for other hidden doctrines in Uriopoges' writings.

In relation to other Remigrationist doctrines, the Doctrine of Imbalance qualifies the idea of the cycle of life to suggest that the distribution of souls in the cycle is not even, but is heavily concentrated to one side. It does not figure largely into public Remigrationist discourse, leaving the question open as to how much significance it could possibly have and raising questions about why Uriopoges went to such lengths to hide it in the Transactions.

While the tall tales of the "secret doctrines" certainly add that je ne sais quoi to the otherwise revolting doctrines of Remigrationism, it is in my opinion an unprofitable avenue of Remigrationist scholarship that distracts from more pressing issues, such as Rightson's excellent recent essay on the proposals for a Reformed Remigrationism put forth by Joculus the Red in his latest essay-length graffiti on the walls of the Mystery District.
