Our Principles

Eastern and Western philosophies posit that consciousness varies according to attributes of physical form, resulting in a diverse world of consciousness and abilities.

Diversity includes observable forms of matter and energy as well as non-observable forms of mind and spirit.

Each form is unique and exists in complex symbiotic relationships with other forms to maintain the delicate balance of nature.

All forms possess purpose and function to enhance the existence of all forms. Hence, we must cultivate mutual respect for peaceful co-existence.

Understanding the ephemeral nature of existence is fundamental to developing compassion and empathy.

Ethical concepts will vary depending on form, consciousness, and the surrounding environment.

Respect for all genders, races, ethnic groups, religions, philosophies, and sociocultural identities is a prerequisite to preservation of diversity and peace.

Recognition of change and fragility in all forms promotes tolerance and respect, encouraging us to experience each moment fully with awareness of others' contributions to life.

An ethics of respect for diversity enhances peace — recognizing that no person is superior to others, no task more inherently valuable, and that community, compassion, and tolerance are essential to all.
