ORGANIZATIONAL and THEOLOGICAL PRECEPTS for the

CHURCH of the ETERNAL NOW

The Eternal Now
School of Spiritual Fitness

The Church of the Eternal Now has at its precepts the following basic beliefs:

1) That God is Love !

A Spirit;
Being beyond Words.
Kindness beyond Understanding.
Fairness beyond Justice (as we know it).

An essence of what we are (or can be), inside, spiritually,


2) That the primary role of the Church is to perpetually seek to acquire the
Knowledge of Spiritual Wisdom and Fitness. To teach or share this knowledge
through practice. A role most parallel to a school. In this case a school focused
on the cultivation of Total Human Fitness, with its' primary emphasis on Spiritual
Fitness.

3) That the secondary role of this church is to practice and demonstrate the values
of "The Three Treasures"
1) To Care (about ourselves and others)
2) To be Fair and Just.
3) To be Humble and Forgiving.


4) That the Church shall respect and cultivate the right of individual thought and
reason. There shall not be officially published, an opinion that prohibits the
questioning of its teachings by any individual or group. The Organization shall avoid
any and all operational apsects as defined and described in "Signs of a Cult", and shall
further promote "Freedom of Respective Questioning".
Individual thought and individual cosmic accessibility are co-existent
requirements of a truly rational faith. Each of us has instant and complete access
to God; The Divine. The concept that we need another individual or external spirit
to connect to God; or Our Highest Self, shall not be tolerated within The Church or
School of the Eternal Now.
5) Too often organizations become "cliquish". That there is a propensity for some
individuals to become involved only to seek to implant their own egoistic priorities.
That the organization then becomes contaminated with ownership or control issues.
Then various financial obligations take away the focus of the basic precepts and
establish new ones intended to help meet these obligations. Therefore the Church
shall:
Deal assertively with ownership and limit group power and corruption.
