\nGod is One — everything is God, is within God, and God made it the way it is.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n1. Deity is One, Creator and Creation<\/span>;
\nthe physical and metaphysical Universe and all within it is within
\nDeity. Deity has one face, two faces (male and female), and many faces
\n(gods, humans, Creation itself), depending on our current perceptions;
\nthe gods of all religions are merely faces of the One — as are we
\nourselves. There is no “them”, only “us”.<\/p>\n
\n— of Human and Nature, of Light and Shadow, of masculine and feminine,
\nand of body, mind and soul\/spirit\/heart. As Ministers, we help guide
\nourselves and others to find this Balance; we allow ourselves, and help
\nothers, to grow — in love of ourselves, each other, and the Deity we
\nserve and are part of, and to be more whole within humanity and Deity.<\/p>\n
\nDeity can be likened to a mountain, too large to be seen in totality
\nand towering above the clouds; there are an infinite number of pathways
\nup this mountain. We may journey alone or together, but whatever our
\nexperience of the mountain, it is valid.<\/p>\n
\nthe above; the following Corollaries are the most obvious to me.<\/p>\n
\nthere is only a range of experience. God experiences all things
\nthrough God’s creation, including emotions and actions. What we
\nperceive as evil is a learning experience, and what we are learning is
\nHow To Love. For example, things such as “war”, “hatred”,
\n“gay-bashing”, poisoning our environment, hurting ourselves, etc., show
\nwe have not learned the lesson.<\/p>\n
\nnot the world\/universe. We can only learn our lessons one person,
\none concept at a time. We cannot force others to learn OUR
\nlessons. We cannot force them to learn THEIR lessons,
\neither. If you can’t find it within yourself, you won’t find it
\noutside.<\/p>\n
\nonly different learning experiences. For some, Earth may be Hell;
\nfor others, the deepest Hell may be the finest University; and no Hell
\nis permanent.<\/p>\n
\nGod lives forever, and we are a part of That. Our mode of
\nexistence may change. It does not matter how that changes, there
\nis no dogma to how our existence continues. What various groups
\nbelieve is immaterial – but is to be respected (see Rule 3).<\/p>\n
\nThere are things that caused us pain that have affected the way we
\nthink and feel about others. These need healing. If
\nsomething makes you mad, it is something you don’t like that you still
\nhave in yourself. If it wasn’t there, you wouldn’t know how to
\nrecognize it.<\/p>\n
\nattempts to use these precepts to prove anything except what is in
\ntheir heart – can go to Hell (see Corollary Three). This is not
\nintended as a substitute for Science, only as an overlay for global
\nspirituality. (Yes, I’ve read Corollary Two.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
