Overview

Core Concepts
Connective Existence - Harmonize differences
Movement - Faith (inner/outer) - Dialogue

Belief System Dialogue Themes
o Faith, our experiences and perceptions provide potential for learning, growth, healing change, and soul/body integration.
o One non- personified source emanates, connects, and includes all existence. The source is eternal, always present, and dynamic.
o The source presence provides support, diversity, harmony.
o Emanation generates soul, identity, creation, choice, love, physicality.
o All existence is inter-connected. The one constant is change.
o Existence includes a collective of all experiences. This experiential wisdom; ever expanding; cannot be expressed in image, personality, or form.
o Minds think truth: Truth is the current moments’ experience.
o Belief Systems: Personal truths - Mystical experiences - Mental theories - Respected/Sacred text - Scientific methods - Learned values
o Agape Love: faith - symbiosis - romance - bonded commitment - selfless service - self nurture
o Connected existence theory: No one is to blame; we are all responsible.
