Our Beliefs | ||
 1. We believe in a spiritual mother. She is known as The Mother. Out of The Mother comes all things, expanding outward, for all eternity.2. We believe in The Mother Principle. The Mother Principle is: give, comfort, nourish. 3. We believe the material realm is a school for souls, a place where souls reincarnate to learn lessons that only the material realm can teach. 4. We believe we are here to learn to work with Mother Nature, to learn to create harmonious relationships with each other and all living things, to learn to give, to comfort and to nourish each other and all living things. 5. We believe living according to The Mother Principle and working with Mother Nature will result in every living thing on this planet living in peace with each other, and will allow every living thing to interact, grow and learn from each other, each in its own way. 6. We believe the Earth gives us everything we need to survive: food, shelter and clothing. She does this so we don't have to spend our lives working to get these things. Instead we should spend our lives developing social skills. 7. We believe in building societies based on cooperation rather than competition, security rather than fear, kindness rather than cruelty and love rather than hatred. 8. We are Herbivores. We believe what we eat, where we live and what we wear should come from nature. They should be uncooked, unprocessed, and unchanged in any way. We should be able to return everything to nature when we are finished with them. 9. The Sommerian teachings are based on the belief that we are animals. We look at the other animals, see how they live and learn from them. We believe the other animals are our teachers because they follow the laws of Nature while we have deviated from them. 10. We believe in evolution. We do not believe we were created magically on the Earth by a god. We believe Mother Nature created us through a long evolutionary process and that as long as we are here we will continue to evolve forever and ever. 11. We believe the family is the most important social unit and the mother is the head of this unit. 12. We believe intercourse is the human conceptive act and should be used for conception only. 13. We believe sex should be used for forming emotional bonds, sexual pleasure and orgasms. 14. We believe the only difference between men and women, boys and girls are physical. Socially, emotionally and intellectually they are the same. 15. We believe in focusing on what humans have in common with each other rather than what makes us different from each other. 16. We believe everyone is good -- no one is bad. People may do bad things but they themselves are not bad. We don't expect people to be perfect. We allow people to make mistakes because making mistakes is part of being human. 17. We believe water is the source of all life and that water should be protected at all costs because there is no substitute. Without water there is no more life, not for us, not for the other animals and not for the Earth. 18. We do not believe in anything that breeds fear, hatred, punishment, separation or destruction because The Mother opens her arms to all of us, drawing us into her embrace with unconditional love and acceptance. |
