What We Stand For
 

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 2. Objectives

The objectives of This Khó-N'gha Dhaó Religious Order are:

(a) To establish an organized structure for mystic consciously aware individuals to seek out, and enquire of, an eclectic philosophical Religious Order that offers The Teachings of Khó-N'gha Dhaóism as expositioned in Terma Khó-N'gha Dhaó - The Book of ONEness as a totally responsible belief of faith commensurate with The Unity of ONEness.

(b) To develop an educative and instructional program that does offer to those mystic consciously aware individuals seeking investigative communication of this eclectic philosophical Religious Order of The Teachings of Khó-N'gha Dhaóism as expositioned in Terma Khó-N'gha Dhaó - The Book of ONEness towards belief in a faith commensurate with The Totality of ONEness.

(c) To maintain an institution wherewith and for which any mystic consciously aware individual may come to be guided unto this eclectic philosophical Religious Order and along The Teaching of Khó-N'gha Dhaóism as expositioned in Terma Khó-N'gha Dhaó - The Book of ONEness, unto esoteric open minded and positive level of knowledge and understanding of belief in a faith commensurate with The Infinity of ONEness.

(d) To provide a Religious Order whereby any mystic consciously aware individual may come to contemplate upon, integrate with, and by Ordination therewith, facilitate The Omnipresent Noeticl Entity, through their individuality, to be responsible for each, every, any and all conceptions and perceptions of BEing within and without the internal and external structure, design, patter, and manifestation alluding to the illusion of reality that The ONE endures through each, every, any and all manifested separate physical, mental, and spiritual interrelationships of Future unto Past through this Eternal Present BEing of ONEness.
