More On Unification

2001-9-1 02:01:00

My Friends,

I have been fine-tuning the Principles of Unification. Because number 1 and 16 were similar I combined them into one principle and added an extra one, similar to the first draft presented at the Gathering, but made some changes reflecting comment received.

Take another look and if you have any comment, please let us know.

Those who signed up are listed below. We are not including a physical street address or e-mail address for reasons of requested privacy, but when you endorse the principles we would like you to send us your physical address. We hope to eventually publish a newsletter and offer other activities so it will be helpful to have an address on file.

I lost some of my e-mail correspondence when my hard drive crashed a while back so if you have endorsed the principles look over this list and make sure your name is on it. If you have not endorsed it please read again the principles and see if you agree. If so, merely send me an e-mail stating "I endorse The Principles of Unification," and send your physical address. After you do this you will be added to the list.

So far we have only presented it to the Keys list, but when a few more preparations are made we will begin promoting it far and wide. Now is the time to receive a two-digit number.

The list can be found at: http://www.synthesisnet.com/unification.htm

We the undersigned openly declare unto all the people living upon the planet that we seek a peaceful co-existence with all the nations and inhabitants of the earth. We accept the fact that there are differences in philosophy, religious and political belief, but believe that the power of our unity is greater than that of our differences. As evidence of this we submit the sixteen Principles of Unification which is endorsed by the hearts of the vast majority of all people

PRINCIPLES OF UNIFICATION

(1) I believe there is good will and a desire for peace in the great majority of people, groups and religions and accept the idea of peaceful co-existence as an ideal for which to strive and realize that the majority of people wish to live in peace despite their differing beliefs.

(2) I acknowledge that there exists a higher intelligence which most of us call GOD by various names.

(3) Even though this Being or Intelligence is called by differing names and descriptions I acknowledge that this same God is over all mankind and that we are children of God and brothers and sisters. Essentially, humanity is one family.

(4) I believe that the will of God would include the best possible outcome for all of humanity. The goal of "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Humankind" is a goal I embrace.

(5) I embrace the principle of Love and seek to love my neighbor as I do myself. I seek to do unto others, as I would have others do unto me. I seek to serve both God and humanity.

(6) I embrace the Principle of Light in that I seek greater understanding. I realize I have knowledge of some things but do not know all things about either God or man, but seek to know more. I believe that I can progress in knowledge and understanding of spiritual principles. I seek to ever expand my learning. I am open to a fresh outlook when greater light and truth are revealed to me.

(7) I accept the principle of cause and effect and embrace the simple idea as taught in all spiritual movements that good and loving deeds, actions and thoughts will bring good results and harmful actions will bring destructive results. I seek therefore to do good to all mankind that good will return to me.

(8) I accept the Principle of Freedom. I allow all people to worship, speak and believe how, where or what they may so long as they comply with the just laws of the land (laws which protect the whole of the people). I do not support imposing my beliefs on others by force.

(9) I accept the principle of communion. Through prayer, thought or contemplation I can gain a greater awareness of God's Purpose, God's Will and God's Love.

(10) I believe that my existence will continue even after the death of the physical body and seek to live mortal life in such a way so the afterlife of myself and others will be a happy experience.

(11) I believe in the Principle of Sharing to assist those less fortunate than myself. I support the elimination of poverty, disease and ignorance from the human condition that all may live abundantly. I realize that this must be accomplished through working with the free will of humanity and not through force and that sharing includes more than the material.

(12) I believe that true spiritual principles and facts are in harmony with proven science and all truth no matter where it is discovered. In all situations I seek to know the truth rather than settle for that which is false.

(13) I accept the principle of harmlessness and in this spirit I do not support any first aggression toward any nation, group or individual. If there is no first aggression there will not be a second.

(14) I support the principle of harmonious and good relationships and seek to be an ambassador of goodwill with my family, friends, groups and nations that all may benefit from contact with me. I embrace kindness in all my contacts.

(15) I support the principle of honesty and seek to tell the truth consistently.

(16) I accept the fact that beneficial teachers, innovators and servants of humanity have appeared in times past for the benefit of all and realize that others will yet manifest. I seek to prepare my mind and heart to accept the good, the beautiful and the true when it presents itself.
