THE CREED

Blessed Is The Eternal God Who Commands Humans To Do Good Deeds .For By So Doing We Love Our Neighbors . These Actions Will Kindle The Light Within Us Here On Earth. One Way We Serve God Is To Encourage All Humans To Be Respectful and Tolerant Of The Differences Among The Religions Of Others. We Do This Because It Is A Revealed Truth That Though There Are Many Paths To God, All Humans Know There Is Only One God.

On the Home Page you will find not only the Creed, but also the Virtues and Homilies that represent the MeetingHouse for Aspiring Spirits - the web church. Underlying the Creed, Virtues and Homilies we will teach a fundamental belief about Reality as set forth here:
Our mission is to encourage the spiritual but not religious to join and meet together in self-organized internet chat-rooms. We believe there are about 31,000,000 of the spiritual but not religious who believe:

I am a part of the Light and the Light is within me.
The Light and I are one with God. And,
I am a part of the Universe,
and the Universe is within me .
The Eternal Universe and I are one with God.
I am a part of Water,
Water is a a part of Me,
Water and I are One With The Mother God.

Many say or chant these powerful beliefs on a daily basis as they go about living the journey of life. They believe that the reality fostered by quantum mechanics describes the dynamic interconnectedness of our universal unity,God is one. We are a part of God.

THIS WE BELIEVE

At the Meetinghouse, in the manse at 2822 Peavine Trail, Lakeland, Polk County, FL, USA, and everywhere on Planet Earth, as well as throughout cyberspace,there is an invisible God. This presence reveals love through good humans and in the ordinary lives as lived by the Pastor, his intentional family, and others. Also, there are millions of lives partially devoted to service to and for their fellow humans that are spiritually so inclined. But they are uncomfortable with the exclusionary dogmas of many formal religious institutions. We believe the spiritual but not religious are, in part, represented by the Board of Directors of the MeetingHouse, the subscribers, sponsors, and many non-member participants who can be found throughout the good planet Earth.

At the MeetingHouse in cyberspace on the internet, aspiring spirits will gather in the spirit of Jesus' words,

For where two or three meet together in my name, I am there among them. (Matthew 18:19 - Rev.Eng.Bible, 1989).

God is all and everywhere. By and through God we gather together. Chat rooms and blogs will be encouraged. We know we are gathered energy fields. Energy has flow. In the statement of our Creed one will see we acknowledge that human-energy-fields are manifested in Cycles.

We believe humans are subtle-energy beings, dynamic electro-magnetic energy. Within us, there are internal flowing cycles of growth and change. There are known manifestation of the internal energy flows and cycles. In addition, we know there are external energy cycle of giving and receiving. We know that the flow of energy has polarity; ( + ) and ( -); anode and cathode, odd and even, yin/yang. We see and experience the flow of energy as manifested in the God-given joy of our sex drive. Male and Female. We acknowledge that our human energy fields have magnetism, we are drawn to other energetic things and they are drawn to us.

Ancient wisdom and modern science meet in our church's recognition that humans manifest subtle energy by way of our gathered electro-magnetic fields and our response to Gravity. All of us are bio-fields flowing in the universal aura of energy. Some of us have visible auras of energy. All of us are capable of manifesting this energy.

Our church will center on encouraging humans to balance Energy of God within us, and outside to our relationship with Earth and the Universe. As a bolt of lightning tries to ground itself, we, too, seek to learn to balance our Energy with the Earth, the Universe, and God. Our mission will be to serve this Force in our daily lives.

The church will use a number of Activities (Ways) to encourage the spiritual to connect and organize. The ways are symbolized by our websites - Prayer, Meditation, Self-Hypnosis- , and the various Studies of the History of Religions, for some of the examples. Please observe the Navigation-Bar that provides a menu for browsing among the many pathways that enable a better understanding of our relationship to God.

Our CREED was written to help other humans to better understand that we accept their chosen religious as their way to God and respect and tolerate the differences that religions have. We believe it is a Categorical Imperative of God that all humans shall respect and tolerate the religions of others. The Universe Calls Upon Humans To Try To Perceive Reality Within Cosmic Wonder. Our Church follows this Mythos Calling upon Humans to do the same?

Consider the role of Allah, Muhammad the Prophet, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, Gandhi, Siddhartha/Buddha, Lao Tzu, Zoroaster, and all other changing energy forms. Since pre-history there have been many men and women so gifted with insight that they have seen with clarity that the Universe (the world that they know or knew) consists of a single unity, the primal force. Today, we see it as expressed as E = MC2 - energy, mass, space and time. This fact is becoming clearer to everyone living in the Now.

Still, the contemplative power of many humans has not advanced enough for most to comprehend the source of this force. Nor can anyone know the goal of that One, the bright primal force, or energy, or mass. Nor, are most of us ready to comprehend the nature of the Life Force that drives through the Cosmos or in it. We understand energy and mass but the coefficient is a factor that we have yet to measure or visualize.

Like Moses we know there is an, "I AM" We do not fear this concentrated Force. We are filled with peace and love for Him, Her, or It. We are aware that though God is seen as the Good Force that there is a dark force- the obverse of good. We believe that God as the good force is constantly contending to maintain balance and harmony in the universe. Chaos is real, too.

These constantly changing concentrations of energy would not evolve with out the Force that some label as God. Thus, we discover that all concentrations of energy are gathered energy fields. So it is with human beings, even the gods of the minds of this Earth... Our minds can visualize Abraham, Christ, Mohammed the Prophet, Siddhartha Buddha, Lao Tzu, and other important, transitory forms of the ever evolving Force. It can be felt. Yes, even observed, by those who have learned to love all things that are transitional objects in this cyclical evolution of energy and mass. We know that there is a Universe and an Eternal Light that shines. We believe that was Christ's meaning when he said,

To see me is to see Him who sent me. I have come into the world as light so that no one who has faith in me should remain in darkness, those who live by the truth come to the light so that it may be clearly seen that God (the Force) is in all they do.
The Sun of our solar system is a mere stage in this ongoing development toward the fusion, implosion, explosion, and diffusion of all energy forms. It follows as the night does the day that the purpose of these changing forms is to serve well. Therefore, the purpose of men and women to serve well is enhanced when humans properly serve the needs of other humans. We believe that we ought to strive to be invested with the knowledge that we are transitory forms of energy, energizing the ascending and descending progression and regression of the primal force in the constant eternal cycle.

To amplify and enhance the human expression of the foregoing thought process the MeetingHouse for Aspiring Spirits has founded a church that will adopt this reality and the human expression of it as we have described in detail on this web site.

"Non - Violent". Witness this web church. We are appealing to that large body of North Americans, and elsewhere, who call themselves "spiritual but not religious". We know there are many millions of such souls. We hope that this creed attracts others who want to work together to spread both Peace and Love because the spiritual but not religious need to get organized to protect their precious religious freedom, " to be left alone to worship as they wish", as spiritual leaders have done before. The MeetingHouse seeks subscribers not members. We encourage you to remain with your primary faith and promote tolerance among religions.

Please study our Virtues and Homilies. We identify with them. Learn how to better cope with the journey of the life cycle by gaining knowledge of the Eight Stages of Human Life. Please browse the many links provided on our navigation pane.
