Novus Spiritus of St. Christ
I
The way of all peace is to scale the mountian of self. Loving others makes the climb down easier. We see all things darkly until love lights the lamp of our soul.
II
Whatever thou lovest, lovest thou.
III
Do not give unto God any human pettiness such as vengeance, wrath or hate. Negativity is Man's alone.
IV
Create your own heaven, not a hell. You are a creator made from God.
V
Turn thy power outward, not inward, for therin shines the light and the way.
VI
So faith be in the wind like chimes: Hold steady until faith, like the wind, moves you to joy.
VII
Know that each life is a path winding toward perfection. It is the step after step that is hard, not the whole of the journey.
VIII
Be simple. Allow no man to judge you, not even yourself, for you cannot judge God.
IX
You are a light in a lonely, dark desert who enlightens many.
X
Let no one convince you that you are less than a God. Do not let fear imprision your spiritual growth.
XI
Do not allow the unfounded beief in demons to block your communion with God.
XII
The body is a living temple unto God, wherein we worship the spark of the Divine.
XIII
God does not create the adversities in life. By your own choice they exist to aid in your perfection.
XIV
Karma is nothing more than honoring the wheel of evolvement. It is not retribution, but merely a balancing of experiences.
XV
God allows each person the opportunity for perfection, wheather you need one life, or a hundred lives to reach your perfection.
XVI
Devote your life, your soul, your very existence, to the service of God. For only there, you will find the meaning of life.
XVII
War is profane; defense is compulsory.
XVIII
Death is the act of returning Home; it should be done with grace and dignity, You may preserve that dignity by refusing prolonge use of artificial life-support systems. Let God's will be done.
XIX
We believe in a Mother God, Who is co-Creator with our all-loving Father God.
XX
We believe that our Lord was crucified, but did not die on the cross. Instead, he went on to live his life in France with his mother and Mary Magdalene, his wife.
XXI
We Gnostics kept the knowledge hidden that Christ's lineage exists even today, and the truth long buried is open to research.
