A
System
for the Research of Truth
Please note that our work is a "System" - a
system for each individual to research the truth themselves
and not and organization with a hierarchy.
Joshua Immanuel, the Christ said, "Know the
truth and the truth will liberate you". He did not say believe
blindly what the others are saying but instructed us to come to know the truth
ourselves.
Our System for the Research of Truth...
·
discourages the exploration of impatient and harmful practices for
obtaining spiritual experience and insight. The use of drugs and stimulants
should he counseled against, along with certain methods of spiritualism (e.g.
channeling where the self is transposed, séances and other such practices
involving undetermined energies).
·
upholds and respects the autonomy of other individuals. Never will we exploit
the financial, emotional, intellectual, nor physical sovereignty of another.
·
believes that other individuals, whether family or friends, will come to these
Teachings by their own fruition. We shall never publicly encourage others to adopt
our beliefs. By prematurely involving others we may jeopardize the appropriate
time to engage themselves. Circle members and coordinators should not go out
to recruit nor proselytize, hut embrace those that come to them.
·
encourages the exploration of other paths, teachings and traditions. It is
only through comparison that we draw closer to the truth. We have said many
times that the bees of our hives may travel to distant gardens to collect the
sweet nectar. But in our garden, that of Christianity, we have a
full variety of flowers and pure pollens. When we look at other
teachings we do so through the wisdom of our understandings and beliefs, and
we always return home to our hive.
