Our Shared Values
Love Service Vision Excellence Integrity Prosperity
Education Diversity Co-Creation Spirituality
Love - We believe in the healing Power of Love. We express Love by nurturing, accepting, and treating ourselves, others, and our planet with respect. ”Love is a complete unity with Life…We are to look for God in each other.” Ernest Holmes, SOM, pg. 459 ”Love is the central flame of the universe, nay, the very fire itself. It is written that God is Love, and that we are God’s expressed likeness, the image of the Eternal Being. Love is self-givingness through creation, the impartation of the Divine through the human.” Ernest Holmes, SOM, pg. 478
Service - We value being in service as a sacred demonstration of our love.
“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” Tagore
It is generally accepted that some form of useful service to humanity… is one of the best possible ways of seeking permanent happiness. Ernest Holmes
Vision - Visioning, which enables us to catch Spirit’s Highest Ideas, reveals our pathway and aligns our consciousness with the intelligent, creative force of Spirit.
“We must relight the torch of our imagination by ‘fire caught from heaven’. We must remain faithful to this vision for a realization of the Presence of God is the secret power of our work”. Ernest Holmes, SOM pg. 218.3
Excellence - We strive for the expression of our highest potential. Our daily devotion is to discover the Divine within us and to reveal more of our true spiritual nature and potential.
“If the spiritual Universe were not perfect, It could not exist for a single moment. A Perfect Cause must produce perfect effect. Perfect God, Perfect Man, Perfect Being.” Ernest Holmes, SOM
Integrity - We agree to keep our commitments and follow our hearts in making agreements. Our actions are congruent with our beliefs.
“The integrity of the universe cannot be questioned nor doubted. The spirit must be, and is perfect. That which is back of everything must be good, must be complete, must be love and harmony. Ernest Holmes, SOM, pg. 446
Prosperity -We practice prosperity principles to provide abundant resources, empowering the full expression of the ever-unfolding Vision. Vital, healthy growth is expected, embraced, and accepted as a quality of our Life.
We “live as if God’s supportive substance were as exhaustless and dependable as the air (we) breathe, which it most certainly is.” Eric Butterworth
Diversity - As a community, we honor each person’s unique spiritual path. We celebrate and accept our diversity.
“The One Mind conceives all things, from Unity – which is the One back of all things, multiplicity is manifested. No limit should be placed upon the Creative Principle.” Ernest Holmes .
Co-Creation - We actively collaborate to co-create spiritual community and a world that works for everyone. Our community is centered on the facilitation of the Vision and ever-unfolding pathway. We all pull together, as a team, to collaborate and achieve our vision and to develop an enriching, supportive and uplifting community.
“The path to self-actualization in this new cycle of life is co-creation. Through synergy we can create what is beyond anything we could do alone. We are liberated to align with others for the betterment of all.” Barbara Marx Hubbard, The Co-Creators’ Handbook
Spirituality – We recognize spirituality as the essential quality of our divine self. ”Spirituality may be defined as an atmosphere of good, the realization of God. It cannot and does not borrow its light from another, no matter how great or noble that other may be. It springs from within, coming from that never failing fountain of life, which quenches every thirst, whose source is eternity; the wellspring of self existence. It is a revelation of the self to the self, putting one back on the track of his own self dependence on Spirit, his own at-one-ment with Reality.” Ernest Holmes, SOM pg. 446.1
