WHAT WE BELIEVE

WE BELIEVE:

In every religion and honor all paths to God. We believe that every life is sacred and valuable. We believe that every person is on a spiritual journey that will ultimately lead to their greatest good. 

“Our philosophy is a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion applied to human needs and the aspirations of mankind.”

–Ernest Holmes

WHO WE ARE

CENTERS for SPIRITUAL LIVING™

Centers for Spiritual Living™ is a global community comprised of more than 400 spiritual communities, teaching chapters, study groups, and other ministries in 30 countries. 

We incorporate the ancient wisdom of all the spiritual traditions through the ages. People of all spiritual paths — Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, Muslim, New Age, and others — are welcome in our communities.

We help people experience a personal relationship with the creator; promote a community of tolerance, understanding and respect; provide classes, programs, prayer and meditation; and advocate a safe spiritual community of like-minded people interested in living a spiritual life.

OUR GLOBAL VISION

We envision all people, all beings, and all life as expressions of God.

We see a world in which every person lives in alignment with his/her highest spiritual principle,
emphasizing unity with God and connection with each other; a world in which individually and
collectively we are called to a higher state of consciousness and action.

We envision humanity awakening to its spiritual magnificence and discovering the creative
power of thought; a world where every person discovers his/her own personal power and ability
to create an individual life that works within a world that works for everyone.

We envision a world in which we live and grow as One Global Family that respects and
honors the interconnectedness of all life; a world where this kinship with all life prospers and connects through the guidance of spiritual wisdom and experience.

We envision a world where personal responsibility joins with social conscience in every area
of the political, corporate, academic, and social sectors, providing sustainable structures to
further the emerging global consciousness.

We envision a world where each person has enough food, a home and a sense of belonging; a
world of peace and harmony, enfranchisement and justice.

We envision a world in which resources are valued, cared for, and grown, and where there is
generous and continuous sharing of these resources.

We envision a worldwide culture in which forgiveness (whether for errors, injustices, or debts)
is the norm.

We envision a world which has renewed its emphasis on beauty, nature, and love through the resurgence of creativity, art, and aesthetics.

We envision a world that works for everyone and for all of creation.
