What We Believe
- Man (that is, Humanity - male and female) is an essentially Spiritual being, functioning within a Physical vehicle.
- The limiting and temporal nature of Matter obscures the eternal, limitless nature of Spirit. Thus, Man is largely ignorant of his Spiritual nature, which is his True Nature and his birthright.
- It is from this ignorance alone that Man must be saved.
- In addition to Spirit and Matter, there is a third, intermediating agent in Man - the Soul - that is realized through the function of the Mind, which may reconcile the Physical to the Spiritual.
- Through the Mental faculty, Man may achieve an intimate knowledge of the Spirit, and attain an ideal integration of all levels of being.
- This intimate knowledge, and the resulting eqilibrium, is called gnosis.
- It is only through gnosis that we may obtain salvation, which is the liberation from the fetters of spiritual ignorance.
- Jesus Christ, co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, is the revealer of Divine Gnosis, and thus our Liberator and Redeemer.
