sophiaserpentiaI don't want to focus on what is bad about one set of teachings or another, I want to focus on teachings which are good and constructive and inspire us to grow as individuals and in fellowship with one another.
As a starting point I begin with the manifesto I wrote some time ago:
We the members of the human race demand spiritual teachings that:
1. Direct us towards compassionate action.
2. Nurture our psyches and spirits.
3. Heal the rifts within and between us.
4. Challenge us to think.
5. Push us to confront that which is unethical.
6. Exemplify that which is noble about humanity.
7. Can withstand the scrutiny of reason and experience.
8. Drive us from complacency and guide us as we become more than we already are.
