Spiritual Principles
Ten ideas. A whole way of being alive.
These are the Principles taught across Centers for Spiritual Living. They are numbered because they build โ each one rests on the ones before it.
Oneness
There is One Infinite Reality. We call it many names, including but not limited to God, Life, Universal Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, First Cause, or The Thing Itself.
Love
Love is the self-givingness of Universal Spirit through its desire to express itself in terms of creation.
Creation
The physical universe is the manifest body of The One Infinite Reality, and the One Infinite Reality is more than the physical universe.
Threefold Nature
The One Infinite Reality expresses itself in three aspects: Spirit, Law, and Body.
Creative Process
The Creative Process operates through the Universal Law of Cause and Effect.
Spiritual Laws
Universal Spirit maintains harmony, equilibrium, and balance through Spiritual Law.
Spiritual Beings
Individual human beings are spiritual beings living in a spiritual universe having a human experience.
Freedom
Freedom is the birthright of every individual.
Heaven
Heaven is the state of awareness of our True Nature.
Eternal Life
The One Infinite Reality is eternal.

Principle is only half of it.
The other half is what you do on Monday. Our practices turn each of these principles into something you can actually use.
The answer to prayer is in the prayer when it is prayed โ the belief of the one praying sets in motion the Law of Love, which is the fundamental Law of the Universe.
A world that works for everyone starts with this one.
Your giving keeps this community alive โ the Sunday celebration, the practitioner prayer team, the classes, and the outreach that carries our principles into Sacramento.
