The origins of our universe are a mystery of the most profundity
The cosmos is alive, all living systems have ordered design.
The primary difference in all things is the degree of organization.
Our universe is benevolent, it is not hostile or inimical to life.
Evil is the product of people not necessarily the will of the Universe or the Gods.
There is a time lag between the speed of our lives and that of greater beings like the Earth, Sun, or the Gods
People live faster than the Gods can respond - what is a minute of Gods' time?
Our universe and its organizing principle are not at fault for the insanity of human intolerance and oppression, greedy people with unbalanced minds are.
Reality is a state of mind based on perception and is a product of the imaginations of our mind imposed upon external people, events, places, and ideas; Actuality is what really exists behind the perceived. The only approach to the Actual universe, for an individual, is through your own common sense experience, and how it is applied in your life.
The intrinsic nature of humanity is good.
Respect others': freedom, property, beliefs, lives, and bodies
Acts of hostility to others whether it be by lying, cheating, stealing, hatred, or violence are all products of ignorance, fear, and anger.
Knowledge is a virtue only when it fosters life, this type of knowledge is not theoretical, it is practical. This type of knowledge is not information, it is understanding based upon experience. When one applies their own understanding about life to their existence, knowledge becomes a virtue, for it is no longer just knowledge, it is wisdom.
Love and let Live -- learn to love yourself and love others as yourself.
Kindness begins at home.
Knowledge is a function of being.
Individual Freedom is a divine right, for it is the prerequisite for choice, and choice is the prerequisite for spiritual evolution..
The domain of the sacred includes the hidden patterns of our universe, the mysteries of life, and the beauty of the cosmos.
We are made of the stuff of stars.
Be here now -- the present is usually pleasant
The fundamental truths of human existence are simple and shared by everybody
