What
is Spiritual Science?
Though listed as a
religion for legal and tax purposes, Spiritual Science is a philosophy
- a way of life - a non-sectarian spiritual practice that teaches individuals
to plumb the depths of their relationship to ALL things, to their concept
of Deity (God/Goddess/All That Is) and to their own selves.
Spiritual Science
is an investigation of a persons relationship to God/Goddess on
a very personal level. Based on individual understanding and application
of the laws and principles of the universe, and on esoteric and metaphysical
philosophies, it encourages each person to test their beliefs and prove
them scientifically to themselves as much as possible. Spiritual Science
is the science of individual spiritual growth and service to humanity
and the planet.
Spiritual Science
teaches Mans relationship to God: Spiritual and Scientific. It teaches
humanity - whence it came and whither it goes! Spiritual Science teaches
continuity of life, but first of all it teaches mans co-relation
to God!
Spiritual Science
is soul development, soul-unfoldment, soul-progress. The culmination of
these three-in-one is: Love, Unity and Peace.
Paraphrased from
the tenets, originally from Rev. Julia Forrest,
First Spiritual Science Mother Church in New York City, 1935
Spiritual
Science Guidelines
- Love is the
foundation of all creation, the divine light that transcends all.
- God, the Universal
Creative Energy, the creator and sustainer of the universe, permeates
all within it. The universe is a whole, in a dynamic state of constant
growth.
- The life drive
of every entity aims for complete unification with the Universal Creative
Power.
- We, as immortal
spirits and co-creators, are the masters of our own destiny, completely
responsible for every thought, word and deed.
- Individual free
will embodies a relationship to Universal Will. Growth of awareness
and spirituality is directly coupled to the increase of the role of
Universal Will.
- Wisdom, the secret
of all religion, the power of the mysteries, and the essence of all
philosophy lies latent in humanity awaiting the discovery and realization
of the light and power of God within.
- Communication at
spirit levels is a fact and everyone receives guidance.
- Our purpose of
study and meditation practice is so we may work intelligently, cognitively,
lovingly, with humor, and intuitively with the Divine Presence in the
ONE WORK.
