Awaken Unity's Tenants...
As we put these tenants forth, we encourage you to resist using them to create rigid rules or dogma for yourself. Rather, we encourage you to utilize them as tools or guides for your journey, recognizing that awareness and understanding of Life and Self is ever-unfolding, expanding, and refining. We understand each of these tenants to be deep and profound teachings that may take time, study, and experience to fully grasp on all levels.
One effective way to utilize these tenants to support your spiritual expansion is to choose one teaching and allow that to be the focus of your meditation/prayer for a time period. You can do this by simply allowing yourself to focus on the concepts, by asking for Divine support in understanding and/or living more fully the teaching, focusing your journal writing around the concept, and/or engaging a fellow aspirant in intentional, focused conversation about the teaching.
Trees have desires.
Rocks have knowledge.
Jars are full of emptiness and joy.
All embodied ones have this in common.
All are propelled by the same One.
Whose pulse beats in your breast.
Shed insularity,
Be all-pervasive,
Delighting in kinship everywhere.

Awaken Unity on Our Essential Nature...
~ We are the Divine in an ever-changing Form.
~ We are an inextricable part of the Whole - of Divinity, Goddess/God, Source Energy, as is every other being, thing, and energy, seen and unseen.
~ We are one with all Life, God/Goddess, and Source Energy.
~ We are here to experience the Bliss of our Divinity and Creative Passion in Form.
~ We are intrinsically designed to function in a state of Sacred Union and Bliss.
~ We are designed to feel extraordinarily good in our bodies.
~ All we are is Love; this is our true nature.
~ Our greatest core pleasure comes from being and experiencing Love in all forms.
~ We are Infinite.
~ We are an inextricable part of the Whole - of Divinity, Goddess/God, Source Energy, as is every other being, thing, and energy, seen and unseen.
~ We are one with all Life, God/Goddess, and Source Energy.
~ We are here to experience the Bliss of our Divinity and Creative Passion in Form.
~ We are intrinsically designed to function in a state of Sacred Union and Bliss.
- Our truest ‘drive’ is toward deep connection with all life, Ecstatic Union, which simultaneously feels VERY good on all levels.
- When we allow ourselves to reconnect with this intrinsic drive and heal imbalances that have resulted from massive disconnections, distortions, restrictions, and constrictions of Self, we find a beautiful place of balanced pleasure designed to uphold us in our grandest version of Self moment to moment.
~ We are designed to feel extraordinarily good in our bodies.
- If we are not experiencing this, it is information, assistance ultimately guiding us to fulfillment and the experience of pleasure within the body.
- Illness, pain, and decay provide information designed to assist us in fulfilling our intentions.
- If we are not able to find our way back into pleasure within our consciously desired time-frame, we simply have not experienced, created, and/or remembered all that we set out to from taking on the seeming aberration.
~ All we are is Love; this is our true nature.
~ Our greatest core pleasure comes from being and experiencing Love in all forms.
~ We are Infinite.
- As such, we are continually awakening to our Self; discovery and remembrance leads to expansion and expansion to discovery and so on.
- Thus, although we may arrive at certain distinguishable points of consciousness, if we are aligned with our True Nature, we never arrive and then stop exploring.
Awaken Unity on Our Interactions within the World of Form...
~ There are as many paths to Awakening Unity as there are beings.
~ There is but One Truth coming to us through different textures and pathways.
~ Wisdom teachings and tools to support enlightenment can come from all places, things, and beings.
~ At the level of our Soul Essence, we have no attachments to how or when we experience particular Awakenings or degrees of Blissful Union.
~We understand at the level of soul, all things and experiences have a Divine and meaningful purpose, including what we might, from the perspectives of body, mind, ego, or personality, label as suffering.
~ Commitment to your path of awakening and living a soul-directed life is a necessary step on the journey toward Blissful states of being and Unity consciousness.
~ Living a soul-directed life means that we no longer rely upon external constructions, dictates, or mandates to guide our behaviors, rather we begin to allow our internal-compass to lead us into fulfillment: we honor our individual pathways.
~ As we align with our True Nature, allowing Self to emerge from the collective dream-illusion of separateness, our internal Divine compasses become more finely tuned.
~ Life is designed to provide us deep fulfillment on all levels of beingness:
~ As we awaken more fully from the dream, we begin to have more and more direct experiences of grace, wisdom, and spontaneous enlightenments triggered by simple, pleasurable interactions with Life.
~ Everything is happening simultaneously and we have the capacity to tap into our life stream, along any point, and change our course. Healing and expansion can be from this perspective, retro-active or pro-active.
~ There is but One Truth coming to us through different textures and pathways.
~ Wisdom teachings and tools to support enlightenment can come from all places, things, and beings.
- ALL Life experience can be utilized as fuel for our awakening.
- All religious paths contain potential offerings, depending on how they resonate with our unique vibrational patterns and evolutionary intentions at any given moment.

~ Life is designed to provide us deep fulfillment on all levels of beingness:
- We have co-created ALL our experiences to work toward this end.
- The more fully we receive our lives, the more completely we can awaken our True potential and Bliss.
- EVERYTHING that comes into our sphere of existence comes in support of us, to offer us whatever we need to remember who we really are.
- Nothing is waste, ‘bad’, accidental, or coincidence.

Narrative...
All is one with Divine Source. Our spirituality consists of a profound and ever expanding awareness that everything that enters within our sphere of beingness comes in Sacred and Sacramental Service to the unfoldment of our soul. That is, all things we experience are sacred signs, symbols, or messages of spiritual realities and/or indirect pathways to grace that can serve us in promoting Awakening if we so chose. All aspects of Life, therefore, are not happening to us, but happening for us - for our support and evolution in alignment with our most dear and deeply held intentions and hearts’ desires.
Knowing this, we can relax into our lives and experiences. Relaxing into our lives means we stop fighting, ignoring, or resenting what is so for us or what is happening. We give up the idea that we are victims of circumstance, people, the world, etc., and experience all as coming in service to us. This is opposite complacency, and ignoring messages or discomforts. Rather, it is an invitation to receive and recognize our active and purpose-filled participation in our lives.
Relaxing into life in this way is crucial, because cosmic knowledge of spiritual truths, Gnosis, is most readily achieved by fully receiving and exploring our lives – i.e., our emotions, thoughts, experiences, body sensations, intuitions, ways of relating, and things occurring near us. All things in the world are enchanted, alive with Divine energy, charged to function in direct relation to our Divine energy charge. Each person’s experience of reality is uniquely affected by the relationship of their energy charge and of the enchanted world around them. This is therefore, a very individual and mystical path to awakening from the dream into full awareness of our soul’s journey and purpose.
