Article IV - Precepts of Commonality

The precepts herein contained shall be Guidelines to freely search for, support, promote, express and live our individual and collective Divine Truths as revealed through the union and partnership with the living Christ of the Father/Mother God I AM Presence within each man and is in no way binding upon its Members and the Associates forming this Organization.

     There is but One Creator Source or Father/Mother God-principle, whole life giving light and essence is in every soul and All that is.

     The Christ ideal is the power for every soul to know and realize their Divinity in, of and as a Father/Mother God I AM presence as demonstrated by the life of Jesus, a Christ of God and other Holy Prophets and Teachers.

     Each soul is special and unique and carries within itself the blueprint of divine perfection.

     Each individual soul has the birthright to express and live his/her Divinity through the Christ presence of the Father/Mother God-principle within on their highest level of consciousness and to the best of their ability.

     We are One in the Creator Source and the consciousness of all Christ Selves and everything we think, speak, feel and do has a profound effect upon each other and the collective whole of All there is.

     Each individual soul is a co-creator with his Christ of God I AM presence within and is solely responsible and bound by the universal law of cause and effect for his/her own creations.  The universal law of cause and effect is exact and inviolate and is not bound by the laws of men.

     Our Creator Source gave us “Free Will” to choose, which is inviolate.

     It is through the choices we make in the present moment that we create our future and our own happiness or unhappiness.

     It is through the conscious creation of stillness and keeping of unconditional love, harmony and peace on the inner levels that we can realize and experience the highest aspect of our true Self, the God I AM Presence within and that we are connected with the Source and All that is.

     By loving, honoring and respecting our Christ Self and seeing the Christ Self in each other we can achieve Inner Peace and live in harmony with others.

     Being attached to the Material World and Physical Existence creates the illusion of separation from the Creator Source and Father/Mother God presence within and is a hypnotic condition of the human mind.

     It is through unconditional love and non-judgment of ourselves and others that we can achieve spiritual harmony and free ourselves from the effects of negative conditions of body, mind and spirit on the inner and outer levels of the physical existence.

     The Creator has given us dominion of the Earth and we are responsible for the condition of the Earth and the Universe.

     All are called by God unto infinity to love, aide, nurture, and protect each other.

     Prayer is powerful and that power is multiplied exponentially when two or more pray together.
