One of the Visions includes the following line:

The Visions teach virtues of humility, sacrifice and seeing another's problems before your own {{ref|b|wb|c|40}}. They teach that no man man should try to put oneself above the others, and that Austre regards all people equally{{ref|b|wb|c|19}}.
Acting ostentatiously, rejecting people because of their sins and flaunting one's talents were seen as sins {{ref|b|wb|c|19}},{{ref|b|wb|c|20}}.
Austrin teachings also said there was nothing wrong with feelings, but drawing attention to yourself with them was wrong{{ref|b|wb|c|1}}.▼
Austrism, as practiced by [[Idrians]] considers Breaths to be intimately linked to the human souls. ▼
For that reason Austre followers consider holding the [[Breaths]] of others to be a sin, and using them to Awaken to be an even greater sin. However, [[Vasher]] has stated that such intolerance toward [[Awakening]] only emerged after the [[Manywar]]{{ref|b|wb|c|40}}.▼
