Do not let the events of September
11, 2001 lead the world into greater violence,
fear, and hatred.
THE PLAN
Harmony in the Mind
Peace in the Heart
Strength in Numbers
The crisis of 9-11 (2001) has brought
the danger of separateness to the
consciousness of humanity in the area of religion and belief systems
as
never before. In our history almost every conflict has been fueled
by
religious differences and a lack of toleration. These differences
have all
too often led to war, persecution and devastation.
A point little realized is that there also definitely exists a similarity
of belief common to all religions that is more pronounced today than
ever
before. Imagine what would happen if the people of the world were
to focus
on the similarities of belief rather than our differences.
Imagine...
The point is that if we have our attention on similarities, then
there is
less attention available to focus on differences.
To take advantage of this principle a plan has been developed.
That plan
is the Sixteen Principles of Unification.
The idea in a nutshell is to present these principles to the common
people
of the various religions with the hope that millions will one day endorse
them. When this day comes, the idea of union will begin to permeate
the
leadership in the various religions and governments. When this is realized,
the hatred of one religion toward another will diminish and eventually
all
will cease their thoughts of war and live within a peaceful co-existence.
To become a member of this movement all you have to do is this:
Fill out the form below and hit "Send." This states
that you "endorse and
accept the principles of unification."
Membership is free and no demands will be made on you. Your only
obligation will be to accept the principles. It will be entirely
up to you
as to how you incorporate them into your life.
There is hope in creating a more peaceful planet by reminding people
of all
religions that all men and women are brothers and sisters. To
love one
another is much more pleasing to all versions of Deity than hate.
THE COMMITMENT
We the undersigned openly declare
unto all the people living upon the
planet that we seek a peaceful co-existence with all the nations, religions
and inhabitants of the earth. We accept the fact that there are differences
in philosophical, religious and political beliefs, but believe that
the
power of our unity is greater than that which separates us. As evidence
of
this, we submit the sixteen Principles of Unification, which is endorsed
by
the hearts of the vast majority of all people.
THE 16 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. I further realize that the majority of
people wish to live in peace despite their differing beliefs.
2. I acknowledge that there exists a higher intelligence
typically thought of as GOD but referred to by a variety of 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, 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 humankind, and therefore 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, while harmful actions
will bring destructive results. I therefore seek 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 therefore seek to live mortal life
in such a way that 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, 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 as is 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
they present themselves.
