| THE WORLDPEACE CREED
 
 I believe in the all encompassing, incomprehensible, indescribable Essencewhich I refer to as The Infinite Potential (God).
 
 I acknowledge my oneness with this Essence in that I am a manifestation of
 It.
 
 I understand that everything is in a constant state of change which I cannot
 stop or significantly control; and that the Infinite Potential constantly
 manifests and disintegrates not only the most common of objects but also
 entire universes, realities and dimensions.
 
 I relate Infinite change to water which is sometimes steam and sometimes
 ice but always water.
 
 I understand that I am at one with the earth in that I am a manifestation of the
 earth and consequently without the earth I have no food, no water, no air
 with which to sustain my physical existence. I will therefore, in all ways,
 maintain the purity of the earth.
 
 I acknowledge that I am a human being and physically separate but
 spiritually connected to the entire human race. That as the removal of one
 atom from a golden sphere decreases its weight and the addition of one
 atom increases its weight, so is my relationship to all of humanity. When I
 embrace something, its presence increases within humanity and when I
 release something, its presence decreases within humanity. I therefore, vow
 that I will increase the peace and harmony of the whole of humanity by
 striving to live in peace and harmony and I will strive to decrease the
 confusion within humanity by reducing the confusion within myself.
 
 The foundation of peace and harmony within society is treating others the
 way I expect to be treated.
 
 The source of confusion in this reality is attachment, desire, ego, and spiritual
 judgment of others.
 
 I acknowledge that in order to manifest WorldPeace, I must include within
 my vision of WorldPeace a place of equality for all races, all religions, all
 nationalities and both sexes because I acknowledge that the nature of the
 Infinite Potential in general and this reality in specific is diversity such that there will
 never be one race, one religion, one nation or one sex.
 
 I acknowledge that the foundation of peace and harmony is staying centered
 in the oneness of the Infinite Potential and the oneness of this reality and that when I
 become confused in distinguishing this oneness into parts, I begin to lose my
 centeredness and begin to become confused in the manifestations of the
 Infinite Potential and the manifestation of this reality and consequently sacrifice my
 personal peace and harmony as well reducing the overall peace and harmony of
 the human race.
 
 I acknowledge that the social law applies to my mortal, finite, physical self
 and that the social law is the foundation of social peace and harmony. I
 acknowledge that my true nature is an infinite, immortal spirit which is
 presently integrated into my finite, mortal, physical body.
 
 I acknowledge that peace and harmony in society is dependent upon my
 remaining centered in the social law and my spiritual peace and harmony is
 dependent on my remaining centered in the oneness of the Infinite Potential.
 
 I understand that the social law is sometimes in harmony with the spiritual
 reality and sometimes out of harmony. An extreme example of this from
 the past is slavery; socially legal, spiritually immoral.
 
 I understand that the nature of society is change and that the social law will
 change over time in anticipation of creating a more peaceful and
 harmonious society.  I can be a catalyst for this change as long as I do not
 embrace violence as the primary method of manifesting social change.
 
 I acknowledge that my physical body is subject to social judgment and
 punishment if I break the social law but that my infinite, immortal spirit is
 not.
 
 I acknowledge that the only spiritual punishment that exists is the anxiety
 that I experience when I am no longer centered in the oneness of the
 Infinite Potential (God).
 
 I understand, that in this physical reality, there is by definition good and
 bad, righteousness and evil.  However, I acknowledge that these words have been
 a bottomless reservoir for spiritual judgment in society and as such have manifested
 and continue to manifest hatred, prejudice and war in society. I hereby refuse
 to use these words and substitute instead peace and harmony for good and
 righteousness and confusion for bad and evil.
 
 I acknowledge that there is only one Infinite Poetential (God) but many religions.
 
 I acknowledge that there is no greater confusion in the world society than
 justifying the killing of another human being in the name of God.
 
 I acknowledge that every human being, including myself, is at one with the
 Infinite Potential (God) and that there is no where I can go and nothing I can
 do that will separate me from God.
 
 I may break the social law and consequently be socially judged and
 punished and I may forget or ignore my oneness with God and
 consequently experience the anxiety of being confused but some level of
 anxiety is the only repercussion of my confusion that I will experience in any
 reality or dimension. There is no infinite punishment imposed by the Infinite
 Potential (God).
 
 All light contains darkness and all darkness contains light. I am infinite and
 so I am all the light that exists as well as all the darkness that exists and
 when I am not centered in the Infinite Oneness, I become confused in one or
 the other; but over time the nature of  the Infinite Potential is balance ;
 all darkness eventually moves toward the light and all light eventually moves
 toward darkness.
 
 There is a place of perfect balance, perfect peace and harmony, wherein
 the absence of light it is not dark and wherein the absence of darkness is
 not light.
 
 The nature of the Infinite Potential is change and I vacillate over time as I
 experience change; always attempting to exist in peace and harmony by
 remaining centered in the oneness of the Infinite.
 
 I hereby release all my spiritual fears because I am at one with God; and as
 God has provided for me in this reality, I will be provided for in all
 realities.
 
 I hereby release all my spiritual guilt because God is infinitely tolerant and
 loving and completely understands that I am truly doing the best I can.
 I release my ego (self centeredness) in order to experience peace and
 harmony.
 
 I acknowledge that I occupy a certain level of social status within society
 but that this status is only temporary and that physical death will erase it.
 In physical death, I am no more or no less than any other human being who
 ever was, is, or will be.
 
 I acknowledge that death is no more than changing realities and/or
 dimensions and is not to be feared because it is the nature of all things that
 manifest out of the Infinite Potential.
 
 I acknowledge that no matter in which reality I consciously reside, that
 reality or dimension is temporary and that it will end in some kind of death.
 
 I acknowledge that my spirit is infinite and immortal, as are all others; that
 my infinite, immortal spirit can never die because it was never born. This
 is the Great Mystery that I embrace. And within this Great Mystery, I am
 no more or less than any other infinite, immortal manifestation of the
 Infinite Potential generally referred to as God.
 
 Lastly, I understand that as I become centered in the oneness of the
 Infinite Potential, all of creation moves toward peace and harmony and
 when I become confused in the manifestations of the Infinite Potential,
 all of creation moves toward chaos and disharmony.
 
 In all of this, I believe. Within all of this, I reside.
