| We are a simple
Religious Order. We are an Institution
of Spiritual Education. We will
not tell you what The TRUTH
is, but will attempt to teach you how to learn what that TRUTH
is for yourself. We are a simple Religious Order,
not a Church; please don't confuse us with one.
And just what is the difference between a Church
and a Religious Order?
To become a member of a Church
- most any Church - all that is needed to do
is walk into the Church service, proclaim your
adherence to the basic beliefs and tenets of the Church
authority (whether just by your continued daily or weekly attendance
at the Church services, or your active participation
in the Church activities and monetary support),
and your social acclimation to others that you belong to such
Church.
Yet to become a member of a Religious
Order - and this seems to apply to any Religious
Order of whatever denomination - what is required
is to enroll through a specified training and educational program
concerning the beliefs, tenets, rituals and specific observations
of that particular Religious Order,
and then be examined upon that knowledge, and with a satisfactory
recognized understanding, to profess 'sacred vows' and
be Ceremonially Ordained into
membership in that Religious Order.
Becoming an Ordained
Member of a Religious Order
is tantamount to a 'marriage' between the individual
and the Religious Order, while
joining a Church is more like an occasion enjoyed
for the social status of membership than for the practice of faith
or belief (though there are occasional exceptions to even this
posture).
To profess 'sacred vows'
and be Ceremonially Ordained
into membership in This Religious
Order: The WAY of ONE - Khó-N'gha
Dhaó, is recognized (by the Religious
Order and those such Ordained)
as comparable to the idea of 'loss of virginity'; Once
done, there is no return to the former state of innocence of the
'truth' of the individual enjoyed prior to ordination.
There are two (2)
basic Teachings by which Khó-N'gha
Dhaó is founded, and they are known as:
The TRUTH
of The ONE,
and
the 'truth'
of the individual.
The TRUTH of The
ONE is stated simply as:
"There IS
only ONE; and there are no exceptions
to The ONE."
From this TRUTH
of The ONE comes the basic foundation
of meaning upon which all that this is, was, or shall ever
BE does manifest as Existence conceived
through Time perceived.
The 'truth'
of the individual is stated simply as:
"Individuation
IS to be lost in the ignorance of separation from The
ONE".
From this 'truth'
of the individual comes the eternal 'play' of everyone
and thing in their own personal 'living' life-style,
oblivious to the FACT that they are but The
ONE at 'play' in existence through the
'truth' of the individual.
Those who deliberately
follow the 'truth' of the individual are forever
lost in the ignorance of their being so separated from The
ONE, while those whom are deliberately following
The "TRUTH" of The
ONE are thus forever Avowed
unto Responsibility by their Knowledge
and Understanding of that Teachings
TRUTH.
From Article I of the guiding
Articles of Organization of This Religious
Order, The WAY of ONE - Khó-N'gha
Dhaó, entitled: PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES.
Section
1. Purposes
(a)
The general purpose of This Khó-N'gha
Dhaó Religious Order
is to BE, so as to provide a central eclectic cooperative
symbiotic organization, association, and community of mystic consciously
aware individuals, whose knowledge and reason contend them to
understand and recognize the unified and underlying ONEness
of all existence, in some similarity to that set forth in Terma
Khó-N'gha Dhaó - The Book of ONEness; and thus
to provide thereof a positive support and structural Religious
Order wherefore to thus identify and be commensurate
with, duly acknowledging these following basic principles in purpose
and foundation:
(1)
That the BEing of existence is itself the only
necessary evidence to proclaim an Omnipresent Noetic
Entity most worthy of adoration.
(2)
That the nurturing reverence of the natural environment is consistent
to a respectful universal adoration; that such reverence evolves
from intelligent nonviolent ethical relations of responsible individuals,
and that it stands connected with the continuous physical, mental,
and spiritual evolution, improvement, and common welfare of humankind.
(3)
That humankind is possessed of nonviolently ethical intellectual
faculties sufficient for the improvement of nature and the acquisition
of individual excellence.
(4)
That such be essential to the interest of humankind that they
should value 'The TRUTH of The ONE', whose mystical conscious
awareness and the responsibility that such does pursue to manifest
is beyond the seeming 'truth' of the individual lost
in the ignorance of separation from The ONE.
(5)
That individual selfishness, greed, and irrational ignorance is
everywhere ruinous and destructive towards environments and the
true happiness of the individual.
(6)
That a polite, frugal, compassionate disposition, and conscientious
rational actions, are fundamental duties of responsible caring
individuals.
(7)
That any social environment manifestly conjoint with persecution
and malice towards individuals or environments, cannot be of any
legitimate authority or intelligent origin.
(8)
That as art, history, literature, philosophy and science are fundamental
to the propagation of the intellectual excellence in humankind
through the individual, civil and spiritual liberty and individual
education are equally essential to humankinds common evolving
interests.
(9)
That no totalitarian authority ought to be tolerated by which
humankind must be amenable for religious opinions, belief, or
practice.
(10)
That environmental quality and individual excellence, mystic conscious
awareness and rational responsibility, are the great objectives
to which the activity and energy of individual faculties ought
to be directed.
(b) The
specific purpose of This Religious Order is to BE,
so as to allow The Omnipresent Noetic
Entity that those mystic consciously aware individuals
can and do identify with and recognize for The TRUTH of The ONE
and real manifestation that Omnipresent Noetic
Entity IS, through exemplification
in, expression by, and experience of existence itself, to thus
therefore operate for and cohabitate as a religious, educational,
civilized, social, and legal entity within the evidently manifested
but illusory view of apparent reality that This
Religious Order must contend
to function there within; and thus:
(1)
Thereby mystic consciously aware individuals should organize together
so that they may assist each other to facilitate the Art,
Education, and Science of The
Wisdom of The ONEness of existence.
(2)
Therefore mystic consciously aware individuals should associate
together so that they will encourage each other to recognize Their
individual religious-philosophical responsibility, and attend
to 'living' life up to the highest quality for humankind.
(3)
Thereof mystic consciously aware individuals should communally
gather together so that they can cultivate among each other those
deep cordial relationships which, unfortunately, are seldom found
outside of the ideal family environment, but which is the true
recognition of The ONE in and reflected through
itself.
Section

belief of faith commensurate with The Unity of ONEness.

all manifested separate physical, mental, and spiritual interrelationships
of Future unto Past through
this Eternal Present BEing
of ONEness. |
