THE 7 PRINCIPLES

We try to live our lives in accordance with our Seven Principles which are:

6. Compensation & Retribution Hereafter for all the Good & Evil Deeds Done on Earth

‘Reaction follows an action’, ‘for every effect there is a cause’.
These are fundamental principals applying to the physical world. A correlation to these applying to Human beings is our 6th Principle.

Lives spent in service of others, performing loving deeds of nobly seeking truth and intellectual progress, these are good things.
They inevitably lead to ‘compensation’, to spiritual progress and happiness. Evil lives, of cruelty, neglect of others and our own advancement will lead to ‘retribution’, sometimes painful unhappiness, a period when we must make amends. To progress we will have to struggle to put right what has been done wrong or neglected. Most religions hold a similar principle, some call it ‘Karma’ others use the metaphor ‘You reap what you sow’. Our lives, our future life in spirit is determined by our good and evil deeds now and in the past.

A golden coin, was once a raw piece of ore buried in the mud. But the ore was smashed, fired, beaten, cut and stamped to become a shining valuable thing. We are the same, with imperfections and impurities in our natures. We are compensated if we strive to beat out imperfections, we become bright and happy. If we chose to ignore our imperfection or even encourage them then the result is that we suffer and experience unhappiness.

What is evil? Evil is thought and action contrary to Gods way of things.
Gods plan leads to happiness and fulfilment. Evil leads to disharmony, selfishness and misery. For some God’s plan is big, their inherited endowments, environmental conditions, their destiny an opportunity is great. For them neglect of their opportunity or deliberate turning away from it is evil.
Evil is relative; a hungry thief who deprives a wealthy man of a loaf of bread is a different scale of wrong than a wealthy man stealing from the poor. For some God’s plan is humble and the lowly struggle to do humble good deeds and thoughts is enough. God is merciful and what is good or evil may vary in proportion to one’s potential.

In the spirit-world our thoughts determine the conditions in which we find ourselves.
The 6th Principle warns us to live good lives to ensure that our future experience is not that of suffering but instead of joy, light and happiness.
