Statement of Beliefs
WE INTEND to provide for the transformation and evolution of human beings seeking enlightenment in communion with the Great Spirit through the ceremonial and sacred use of natural entheogens.
OUR PURPOSE is to promote the transformation and evolution of beings who seek enlightenment by communing with the Great Spirit. In order to effectuate our purpose, we shall organize retreats and sacred ceremonies related to the expansion of consciousness through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, in addition to other guided relaxation and expansion practices of ancestral consciousness.
WE BELIEVE that natural entheogens were manifested through the Great Spirit in order for all humans, regardless of religion, race, sex, or gender, to facilitate communion with the Great Spirit.
WE BELIEVE through the ceremonial and sacred use of natural entheogens our members are able to access their divinity from within.
WE BELIEVE that many of our experiences have shown us that the sacramental use of natural entheogens within an appropriate spiritual context, far from being a dissociative experience for the mind and detrimental to the health of the individual or of society, is, on the contrary, an activity beneficial for the expansion of consciousness, and in turn, positive for the purposes of our individual spiritual quests.
WE BELIEVE our love and connection to all things is enhanced and better understood through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens. More specifically, sacramental consumption of natural entheogens often evokes mystical experiences, which take us to higher spiritual realms/dimensions where we interact with the Great Spirit and other spiritual entities. This higher spiritual realm can become more accessible for humans through the sacramental use of natural entheogens.
WE BELIEVE that through mystical experiences, we seek and receive answers and guidance to specific and ultimate life questions. Additionally, we believe that mystical experiences, induced by the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, unite us through love, understanding, and greater connectivity to other beings in the universe.
WE BELIEVE the overarching message we receive from the Great Spirit, through the sacramental consumption of natural entheogens, is that unconditional love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe and is the nature and essence of the Great Spirit.
WE BELIEVE that the sacramental use of natural entheogens teaches us and empowers us to become more in tune and/or more related to Mother Nature. More specifically, we believe that the sacramental use of natural entheogens restores us to a more symbiotic relationship with nature. As such, we believe that, to the best of our ability and as practicable, we are to conduct ourselves in such a way as to respect and preserve Mother Nature and encourage others to do the same when feasible.
WE BELIEVE and we are aware that the sacramental use of natural entheogens is a very ancient practice, perhaps dating back to more than 100,000 years ago. In regards to Ayahuasca and San Pedro, ancient practices and ceremonies date back to over 2,000 years ago. To the best of our ability, we adopt and implement these ancient and sacred practices and ceremonies to be consistent and honor the ancestors.
WE BELIEVE that at death, our spirits return to the same realm accessed through the sacramental use of natural entheogens.
WE BELIEVE that by engaging in the sacramental use of natural entheogens and entering higher levels of consciousness and higher spiritual realms, we become comfortable in the spiritual realm, thereby allowing us to overcome our fear of death. By overcoming layers of fear and/or anxiety relating to death, we are better able to focus our efforts on loving other beings and making the universe a better place for all living beings.
WE BELIEVE that, at all times, our members have a moral and ethical obligation to approach every life situation from a place of peace, love, and understanding and in a manner consistent with the general and individual messages innately present within the Divine Creation and the spiritual realm.
WE BELIEVE that other religious texts and teachings, insofar as they are consistent with the Great Spirit and the spiritual realm, provide guidance for how we should live our lives and how we should love and be tolerant of other beings.
