a way of life, and a non-sectarian spiritual practice that teaches
individuals to plumb the depths of their relationship to God and to
themselves.
It
is an investigation of a person's relationship with God, based on an
individual's understanding and application of the laws and principles of
the universe.It
encourages each person to test their beliefs and prove them
scientifically.
Spiritual Science is
the science of individual spiritual growth and development.
It
is inclusive, believing that all people and all religions are
inherently good.
It places an emphasis on meditation as the path for
unfolding and getting in touch with one's inner guidance and intuition.
Spiritual Science
observes four faculties that must be acquired before a person can reach
proper spiritual evolvement.

distinguish between truth and appearance
- The ability to
value truth and reality in relation to appearances.
- The application of
six qualities: control of thoughts, control of actions, perseverance, tolerance, faith,
and
equanimity.
- The love of inner
freedom.
It is the study of
science of spirit.

relationship to himself, to his fellow-man, and to God.”

"As
a religion, Spiritual Science
is a metaphysical expression of the universal truths revealed in all
world religions. All religions are acknowledged as having value in
their teachings.
As
a philosophy, Spiritual
Science is a practical, easily applied way of thinking about the
nature of the universe and our relationship to it. When we understand
ourselves to be both creations and co-creators of the universe, we are
then capable of expressing the unlimited potential within us.
