This set of ideas is drawn mainly from three sources:
Emanuel Swedenborg
Masaharu Taniguchi - (Seicho-No-Ie)
Joel Goldsmith - (The Infinite Way)
I will now list the principle ideas of this paradigm:
There is only one God, who is the Source and Sustainer of Universal Reality. The Essence of God is the Perfect Unity of Infinite Divine Love and Infinite Divine Wisdom. God is Life Itself. The Manifestation of God is as The Divine Humanity, in which every individual is in participation.
Nothing exists in actuality except that which was created by God, and God only creates that which is good.
God is omnipotent, He is the only power.
Every person is a vessel receptive of Divine Life
We are born in a natural human state, we must be reborn into a spiritual state.
The phenomenal level is an unfoldment of our consciousness, the intellect and affections, given a representative physical form.
Negative phenomena are the product of delusions in the mind, and these phenomena were not created by God, so they have no actual, permanent reality. The way to address and remove negative phenomena is to remove the delusions with truth.
Every person is a child of God
The individual human soul exists in perfection in the Mind of God, this is known as our True Image Self. It is the proper goal in life to manifest this True Image and enter into a state of Grand Harmony with God and Universal Humanity. Each human individual has the potential for infinite growth.
Natural humanity is not in a state of freedom, Freedom is attained gradually through the spiritual birth process. Only that which we embrace while in a state of freedom is attributed to us.
The Bible has an inner, Spiritual level of meaning.
