1. Helping Others:
Help others before you help yourself.
2. Universal Love:
Love all living beings regardless of race, gender, sexual preferences, age, shape, status, form, ability, nationality, and beliefs.
3. Unconditional Love:
Love every human being regardless of what they have done or failed to do. Love the murderer, the rapist, the thief, and the felon.
4. Selfless Love:
Love others more than you love yourself.
5. Non-Violence:
Do no physical harm to any Living Being, including yourself; harm no human beings (runakuna) or animals (uywakuna). If you must kill animals or eat meat, let it be because you have no choice. This is the principle of ahinsā. If you keep animals for food, do so humanely. If you kill them for food, make their death as quick and painless as possible.
6. Equality of All Human Beings:
Accept that all living beings are equal, regardless of differences in race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual preferences, age, shape, size, social status, ability, and beliefs.
7. Daily Charity:
Do an act or charity (Císhàn) every day that you are alive; add value to the lives of others. Practice charity toward the less fortunate and compassion toward all living creatures. Your act of charity does not need to be financial or material. It may be a word of encouragement, a smile, a compliment, a kind word, a shoulder for someone to cry, a listening ear, comfort to the sick, or a prayer for the person in despair.
8. Renunciation of Materialism:
Do not acquire any more than you need. Give away what you do not need. Practice anti-materialism: Your actions should be motivated by love, compassion, and pursuing enlightenment rather than materialism.
9. God as Achromatic:
Belief in the non-chromatic nature of God; God is not white. God is not black. God has no color.
10. God as Asomatic: Belief in the non-somatic nature of God; God does not have Human form. Accept that God is formless, with no material form like water, light, or air.
11. Non-genderedness of God:
Belief in the non-gendered nature of God; God is neither male nor female.
12. Gender Equity:
Men are not superior to women, and women are not superior to men.
13. Guardians of the Earth (Elohi):
We are all guardians of the Earth. We must work to preserve it for future generations. We must treat all animal life, trees, and plants with respect. We must protect the environment and avoid unnecessary exploitation and harm to it. We must live sustainably. If we farm, we must do so as sustainably as possible. We must promote biodiversity and preserve ecosystems.
14. Counter-Racism:
We must promote love and harmony among all races.
15. Equality of all Living Beings:
Belief in the equality of all living creatures. Man is not greater than any other creature. No creature is greater than another.
16. Anti-bigotry:
Practice tolerance toward the beliefs of others. No one way is the only way. Various paths lead to Elohim (God). Accept people with different views who look and act differently or belong to different social groups.
17. Duality:
Belief in the principle of duality (Ẹ̀mejì). Everything in the known and unknown universe exists in duality: good and evil, life and death, the prey and the predator, the young and the old, the known and the unknown, the past and the present, and so on.
18. Disintermediation:
Belief in direct access to Elohim (God) without needing an intercessor. This principle is known as Gisha Yeshira.
19. Pursuit of Enlightenment:
We must pursue enlightenment (Nuhra) as our principal earthly purpose on earth and seek elevation (Ruma) for our souls after we die. Enlightenment can be obtained through prayer and meditation.
20: Pursuit of Elevation:
We must accept that the soul’s primary purpose is to attain elevation. Elevation can be achieved by helping others, not harming others, and offsetting our negative deeds.
21. Planes of Consciousness:
There are planes of consciousness and being. There is no Hell. What some might consider “Hell” is the lowest plane of consciousness. There are several levels of Heaven, with the highest level of Heaven being the seventh and highest plane, Septem.
22. Actions and Consequences:
Every action has a positive or negative consequence on the soul. Actions that harm others or ourselves prevent us from attaining elevation and trap us in Kuklos – the cycle of life, death, and rematerialization.
23. Unconditional Forgiveness:
Forgiveness toward oneself and those around us, regardless of what we or they have done.
24. Light Bearers:
Every Elohimian is responsible for promoting peace, harmony, health, healing, tolerance, morality, and enlightenment.
25. The Nature of God:
God is infinite, eternal, immanent, and transcendent. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. God is always compassionate, loving, and forgiving.
26. The Nature of Humanity:
We can be good or evil. We are born with a sense of morality that our environment can enhance or degrade.
27. The Nature of the Soul:
The soul (atma) is sempiternal – our souls have a beginning but no end. Our souls dwell within time but never end; they are indestructible and last forever.
