Temporal Naturalism
We yearn to be more.
But what else is there, and where to begin?
The only place we can — the end.
The Universe Has a Story
Physics and Cosmology tell us that we inhabit one of many sequential universes.
Before this one, there was a previous. After this one, another.
We inhabit an infinitely evolving material reality.
And so we identify a single truth that governs all else.
Being as Time
We all occupy a set of conscious coordinates that no others may occupy.
Our experience of being is only ever momentary totality, a single happening.
The past is inaccessible, the future unknown.
Time is the transformation of transformation.
We embody it through observing experience.
Oneness with the Relational Universe
There are no separate events in nature.
We are inseparable from the other and simultaneously independent of them.
All possess an aspect of embodied infinity as we are both within and of the universe.
Any direction of focus and energy is an act of becoming.
Two Observable Infinities
- The Universe Itself
- Human Imagination
Aligning them represents divinity in the moment.
Self-Actualization
In a relational universe governed by the single truth, 'self' is most accurately defined as the relationship between the individual and their circumstance within a given moment.
Self-actualization refers to the combination of individual and systemic actualization.
Individual actualization is the development of the self. 'I'
Systemic actualization is the development of the collective. 'We'
Age of Crisis
Crisis expands all around us and we lack the spiritual and systemic orientation necessary to overcome it.
Inadequate frameworks of meaning and value are at the heart of our struggle.
Humanity will never be free within systems of class and caste.
To remake the world, we must remake ourselves.
Aligning with nature as it is instead of what our inherited dogmas prefer it to be.
Core Values
We embrace these core values to support individual actualization in alignment with the single truth and the relational universe.
Remember them with the anagram 'REFRAME Courage'
Eight Dignities
The eight dignities represent individual sacred rights in alignment with the single truth and relational universe.
They are central to our spiritual practice and describe our current approach to systemic actualization.
Eight Dignities: Food/Water, Housing, Healthcare, Education, Information, Communication, Transportation, and Energy
