have for the world of today."

I would also like to point out that those 12 principles will do just fine as
a current spiritual message. There are those that like to point out that
they are not new messages and that they have been presented before and by
others.......... I aggree. But when something is right for this
Earth............. It will always be right and it's a great thing to
reemphasize those thoughts and focus the members of this Faith towards their
achievement. Let's not confuse ourselves with the arguements and points of
disagreement, but rather on those principles that can reshape and offer hope
for a continued spiritual developement of Mankind. Any one of those twelve
principles, could, if practised, change the entire way we live together.
I'll not push them aside. There is One GOD............. and many to ways to
attain that realization.
