The draft of FixGov.
Spirituality is our capacity to feel compassion for all living creatures and the earth. In this chapter we will examine the use of spirit to change our lives.
- spirituality supports
the elevation, evolution and all round progress of all beings;
- spirituality includes the idea that
human beings are more than their bodies and minds. They have an individual
soul or individual self which transcends their body and mind;
- according to spirituality, the goal
of human life is to realize the nature of your individual soul or self as
one with the infinite source of all;
- attainment of that infinite source brings complete and permanent fulfilment
of all human longings;
- consciously or unconsciously, all human beings want that complete and permanent
fulfilment;
- when conscious efforts are made to attain that infinite source, those efforts
may be called spiritual practices. Spiritual teachings are those teachings
which are helpful in providing spiritual practices and guidance, and the
source of these teachings may be internal (intuitional), external or both;
- spirituality is universal. It can be
practiced at some level by anyone, as adjusted to their individual capacities,
needs and requirements;
- human beings and all other finite beings have evolved from an infinite
source and it is to that source that they ultimately return through their
spiritual efforts and the grace of that infinite source;
- there is an attraction and family relationship among all human beings and
other living beings due to their common spiritual origin and common spiritual
destination;
- one's spiritual duty in life is to work for one's spiritual progress and
to help others progress also;
- human beings require basic physical necessities of life, including proper
guidance, in order to progress physically, mentally and spiritually;
- the proper role of society is to make sure that all have access to these
basic physical necessities of life and that all have the opportunity to progress
physically, mentally and spiritually;
- all beings, including animals and plants, are on a spiritual evolutionary
path, and should be treated with love and respect;
- diversity is a law of nature, but all beings have the same ultimate spiritual
potentiality and destination;
- others are a reflection of one's self, so in harming others, one harms
oneself. In helping others, one helps oneself;
- deep changes come from within the individual, and then can spread to others;
- a positive example is the best teacher;
- everyone has the right to protect themselves and others from harm;
- spirituality supports the liberation
of the human intellect from all narrow and dogmatic ideas and sentiments.
