Declaration On the Basis of the Common Religion

 

 

1. General statements

 

1:1. During the existence of the embodied people on the Earth God many times

gave them His Teaching through His Messengers (Messiahs, Avataras) and prophets.

Each time the information was given in the form that was adequate for concrete

people - taking into account the levels of their philosophic-religious

awareness, and the conditions of life in that concrete historical period (for

example, in conditions of war - or peace; during the first stages of religion

formation - or at the time of stable existence of the religion in the given

region).

 

But in each of such religious knowledge grounds established by God people

distorted His Teaching with time. For example:

 

- All religious duties of people got reduced to only participating in " saving "

rituals; bodily movements and standard prayers became the main religious

occupation of believers, instead of making real efforts on self-development on

the path of personal spiritual evolution,

 

- So-called religious " fundamentalism " appeared, where the religious life is

considered not as getting knowledge about God, about the meaning of our life,

not as mastering of methods of spiritual self-development and helping others to

do it, but is reduced only to crude, violent forcing of people to keep certain

" rules of behavior " that have no religious value...
