Universal Church of the Master Tenets & Principles * We believe in the Divine... Mother Goddess/Father God and the Unity of humankind. * All phenomena that occurs within the realm of Nature, both physical and spiritual, are manifestations of Infinite Intelligence. * True religion is discovered by understanding correctly the Laws of Nature & Spirit, and by living in harmony therewith. * Individual existence, personal identity and memory continue after the transitional experience called "death." * The Golden Rule... "whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them" is the essence of morality. * Every individual is morally self-responsible. Happiness flows from consonance with Laws of Nature & Spirit. Unhappiness and misery follow upon disobedience. * Genuine improvement and reformation of the human soul is always possible in this world or the next. * Prophecy exists in our time as in ancient times * The Universe, as a spiritual system expressing Divine Wisdom, makes possible the eternal progress of the aspiring soul who loves truth and goodness. * Universal Church of the Master is truly universal & eclectic.
