Creed

Levels of Perspective

Greater Identity

Always, keep in mind the Greater Manifestus and the Unity with the All. This is your true Personal Identity.

Pattern of life

The Way of Humanity is a subset of the Way of the Living and the Animals as well as the Greater Manifestus. Like them, humans must breathe, eat, drink water, expel wastes, and rest.

They usually seek to be comfortable, procreate and to defend themselves.

This is the basic natural way of the Animal. Humanity's way expands upon this.

Humanity

Humans form societies with norms regarding relationships, behaviors and resources.

Humans seek both fellowship and advantage amongst each other. These are often at odds but one should try to support and create mutual advantage whenever possible.

This is the Facet, Pattern and Way of Humanity.

The Greater Manifestus does not necessarily follow the Way of Humanity nor may some individuals.

We are both trapped and free. Constraints are what give form and purpose to our efforts.

Seek to do the Right thing even if it is difficult. Be an example for others by the measure of your Human Facet.

Principles

Necessity

Heeding what needs to be done to sustain yourself and others within the context of your Facet.

Following your Facet

One should follow your Facet as much as possible within societal, ethical and moral constraints. It is not a static thing but evolves throughout your Manifestation.

Engagement

Doing what is necessary and with as much joy as possible.

Perspective

Understand that results do not occur only from your actions but because of many factors. However, your actions or inactions do matter.

Love

Seek to treat others as yourself for you are One in the All. Cultivate a relationship of caring and love. Move from Love and not Fear.

Exceptions

In the process of obtaining the necessities, people may need to do what is necessary but antisocial. This should be a last resort. Harmony must be attempted as soon possible. Making an exception is not justified to merely prosper.

Hungers

The needs for wealth, status, power, love, lust and affection are natural hungers. However, just like physical hunger, partaking of too much can make you ill. They should be limited and channeled in ways that benefit not only to yourself or a few people but also the greater community.

Engage in the experience of them moderately, if at all. Create as little harm and help as much as possible. If you suspect you are in excess, you probably are.

Do not do something to someone in pursuit of these that you would not want done to yourself. Even then, people are different and heed their concerns.

Balance

Living in Balance is not a static process but something that always requires movement. Sometimes it is necessary to go to an extreme. In this case, seek to bring things back to the center as soon as possible. Everything contains its opposite and is in flux.

True Will

Be as natural and spontaneous as possible. Use your body, heart and mind as best as you can. Honor your intuition but seek to plan, understand and follow reason wherever possible to guide that body, heart and mind to the best outcome.

Personal Pattern/Facet

Each person has their own Personal Pattern and Transformational Way. Cultivate and follow it but understand that if it is not in harmony with other's Ways, it may not be sustainable.

Creativity

As a Human, you have found yourself in this part of the Greater Manifestus with what we term a “life”. It may be short or long. Easy or difficult. Simple or complex. Either way, you have been brought into it. Approach it with a creative attitude and a gratitude for the opportunity it presents. Savor the experience as a kind of sweetness even if it is bitter. Seek joy, within reason.

Purpose while Human

To love, do good, and care for our fellow People while cultivating the same in them. Survive, grow and create new patterns within our Facets. People may be more than humans. They may be animals, machines, or something else. All are equal in the Manifestus as we make a more fair, just and humane world.
