God is the Supreme Intelligence, first cause of all things. God is
eternal, immutable, immaterial, unique, omnipotent, supremely just and
good.
The Universe is Gods creation. It encompasses all rational and
non-rational beings, both animate and inanimate, material and immaterial.
In addition to the corporeal world inhabited by incarnate Spirits
(which are Human Beings), there also exists a spiritual world,
inhabited by discarnate Spirits.
Within the Universe there are other inhabited worlds, with Beings
at different stages of evolution: some equal, others more or less evolved
than Human Beings.
The Laws of Nature are Divine Laws because God is their author.
They cover both the physical and moral Laws.
A Human Being is a Spirit incarnated in a material body. The
perispirit is the semi-material body which unites the Spirit to the
physical body.
Spirits are the intelligent Beings of creation. They constitute
the world of the Spirits, which pre-exists and outlives everything.
Spirits are created simple and ignorant. They evolve intellectually
and morally, passing from a lower order to a higher one, until they
attain perfection, where they will enjoy unalterable bliss.
Spirits preserve their individuality before, during, and after
each incarnation.
Spirits reincarnate as many times as is necessary for their
spiritual advancement.
Spirits are always progressing. In their multiple physical
existences they may sometimes become stationary, but they cannot
regress. The speed of their intellectual and moral progress depends on
the efforts they make to attain perfection.
Spirits belong to different orders according to the degree of
perfection they have attained, being: Pure Spirits, who have
attained maximum perfection; Good Spirits, whose predominant
desire is towards goodness; and Imperfect Spirits, characterized
by their ignorance, their tendency towards evil, and by their lower passions.
The relationship between Spirits and Human Beings are constant and have always
existed. The Good Spirits attract us towards goodness, sustain us in lifes trials
and help us bear them with courage and resignation. The Imperfect Spirits induce us
towards error.
Jesus is the Guide and Model for all Humankind. The Doctrine He taught and
exemplified is the most pure expression of Gods Laws.
The morality of Christ, as contained in the Gospels, is the pathway for the secure
progress of all Humankind. Its practice is the solution for all human problems and the
objective to be attained by Humanity.
Human Beings are given free will to act, but they must face the consequences of
their actions.
Future life reserves penalties and pleasures according to the respect they do or
do not show for Gods Law.
Prayer is an act of adoration towards God. It is to be found in Natural Law and is the
result of an innate sentiment in every Human Beings, just as the idea of the existence
of the Creator is also innate.
Prayer makes Human Beings better. Whoever prays with fervour and confidence grows
strong against evil temptation, and God sends the Good Spirits to assist them. This type
of assistance will never be denied when requested with sincerity. |
