Creed

What to believe? 

These beliefs, far from being original, reflect foundations of a faith that may sustain, guide and inspire us.

We can believe that we are essence/entities incarnated in human form on purpose.  

·       Our essence, let’s call it soul, may be like a ray of light and warmth which origin is an eternal sun, generative energy, matrix.

·       Human form may be like a lake that reflects the eternal sun’s rays.

·       Our souls may utilize human experience to develop our source’s virtues.

·       The principal virtue may have to do with Love.

·       We may cultivate virtues when we learn the lessons we are to learn.

·       Numerous opportunities may be offered to us in order to learn these lessons, as those that we don’t learn in a round of existence, we could learn in other ones.

·       One of the most important lessons may be that we learn our lessons better when we contribute to others’ learning.

·       A valuable way to contribute to others’ learning may be through our example.

·       Non-human beings may contribute to human learning.

We can believe that the human essence is benevolent, even when not so expressed.

• To reflect the eternal sun’s light on our lake more faithfully and clearly, we may calm the waters, blow away the clouds that cover it, or wait for night to pass.

• Human free will may exist, and so may intelligences and wisdom superior to ours.

• We may be held responsible for what we do, and for what we don’t do.

• When we create evil and do harm, it may be because we don’t recognize our benevolent essence and its purpose.

• When the human body dies, we may return to where we recognize what we are, and what is our purpose.

• Even if due to fear, ignorance, greed, and aggression we may annihilate humankind and damage the planet we inhabit, our essence may develop in other forms, as the eternal sun does not stop shining.

We can believe that human experience is worthwhile and enjoyable.

·       Optimism and hope, even when they don't seem warranted, may be more beneficial than pessimism and cynicism.

·       It may be intriguing and interesting to interpret every experience as a carrier of messages and pregnant with possibilities.

·       Even though from the human form we do not perceive that which exists beyond it, we may build constructive buildings, write enriching writings, and prepare nutritious meals with the resources available here.

·       It may be fruitful to exercise imagination and engage with angels, elves, fairies, and ghosts, as they are real for those who so believe.

·       Until we achieve optimal integration or reach enlightenment, a thoughtful eclecticism may be wiser than a myopic attachment to any philosophy of life.

·       We may keep believing some or all of this until we discover or develop other beliefs that help us live this human experience in a better way.
