What We Believe
Adapted from Ernest Holmes by Rev. Amani Malaika 

We believe in God as peace, love, harmony, beauty, abundance and goodness. We believe that all of life is the life of God unceasing and beyond. 

We believe that we are each where God shows up,  like a point of light in the rays of the sun, each of us makes up this one extraordinary life of God. 

We believe that the very essence of who we are, the center of our being, cannot die and continues to expand infinitely.

We believe that  the idea of heaven, the wondrous place of nirvana, is within each of us. We can each experience the promises of heaven and nirvana, peace, love, joy, abundance, beauty, and harmony as we become more and more aware of our true natures.

We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete freedom from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.

We believe that there is no place that God is not. The ultimate unceasing Love, that is God, exploded itself into this very universe, into all of creation, into you and me. It is who and what we are.

We believe that God is Love and can be felt by everyone in their internal experience.

We believe that we can all experience the truth of who we are in ourselves and through understanding our true divine nature we are able to express and live the truth of God. 

We believe the nature of the universe is the life and nature of God. Just as we are individual expressions of this life, our thoughts and desires are as well. These thoughts are creative, always being responded to by the whole. 

We believe we can use the creative power of mind to co-create our lives. We are the painters painting our lives into being. 

We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness and the eternal Givingness of Life to All.

We believe in our true nature, our true inner-being, and our inevitable understanding and experience of this truth; for we understand that the life of all is God.
