Core beliefs of your practice

This is a little assignment I thought all would benefit from. For this you will need to write your beliefs that you feel that you would teach, say your own child, or could use to explain your personal beliefs to others.


Here's my Example

Core Beliefs of Lady Silvervixen

1.) Harm none, unless in self defense and ONLY as a last resort.

2.) Always walk to the beat of your own drum (be yourself)

3.) Honor Nature and the Divine, keep them close to heart always

4.) Keep things simple, over complicating things that are simple, just makes things more frustrating and confusing.

5.) Always show respect even when it's not returned.

6.) Choose your battles wisely, sometimes it's best to just keep silence

7.) Help others When you can, but don't put yourself out in the process

8.) Always trust your instincts and follow your heart

9.) Never trespass on sacred ground, always seek permission

10.) Always try to find time to look within and seek answers there before looking at an outside source

11.) Research something new whenever possible, knowledge is power

12.) Always be kind and caring, showing love to those who you see as enemies is better than wasting energy on hating them

13.) If you don't know something, Ask.

Fantastic everyone who's posted so far, are you all seeing the overlap of personal beliefs too? It's amazing how deep you all can be when it comes to personal beliefs.

CORE BELIEFS

-God/dess is an Immanent Force that resides in All Things.

-The Universe is the Body of Divinity and we are part of that Divine Whole, as Gods ourselves.

-Love is a Power that Transcends even the Gods and overcomes all oppression, torment, and slavery.

-The Universe is abundant enough to give you all that you could ever want or need if you have faith.

-Sexuality and the Erotic are Holy and should not be supressed or diminished in value or feared, but celebrated freely.

-The Ego is a vital aspect of the human being and as such, should not be obliterated, only tamed.

-All "Evil" is borne from personal disconnection to Divinity.

-We have the right to be as big and bold and beautiful as we need be, that there is room for all.

-There is no static form of perfection, for change is the only constant of existance.

-The Goddess is whole and complete in Hirself, her male being translated through her female. She needs no other to complete her.

And finally

-It was Desire that formed the worlds into being, and it is our Desire that shall set us free.
