Welcome
to A System
for the Research of Truth:
Our System for the
Research of Truth...
·
discourages the exploration of impatient and harmful
practices for obtaining spiritual experience and insight.
The use of drugs and stimulants should be counseled against,
along with certain methods of spiritualism (e.g. channeling
where the self is transposed, séances and other such
practices involving undetermined energies).
·
upholds and respects the autonomy of other individuals.
Never will we exploit the financial, emotional,
intellectual, nor physical sovereignty of another.
·
believes that other individuals, whether family or friends,
will come to these Teachings by their own fruition. We
shall never publicly encourage others to adopt our beliefs.
By prematurely involving others we may jeopardize the
appropriate time to engage themselves. Circle members and
coordinators should not go out to recruit nor proselytize,
but embrace those that come to them.
·
encourages the exploration of other paths, teachings and
traditions. It is only through comparison that we draw
closer to the truth. We have said many times that the bees
of our hives may travel to distant gardens to collect the
sweet nectar. But in our garden, that of Christianity, we
have a full variety of flowers and pure pollens. When we
look at other teachings we do so through the wisdom of our
understandings and beliefs, and we always return home to our
hive.
