Commitments and Values

We hold these commitments, values

1. We are interested in cognizing realities here and now and not running after possibilities then and there.

2. We deeply respect words as a means of knowing realities. We are acutely aware of how words can condition and how (if handled properly), can decondition us from all our notions about ourselves and ultimately free us from self-ignorance.

3. We are committed to non-manipulation in all its implications of self and others.

4. We are committed to emotional maturity and all that this implies.

5. We are committed to imbibing psychologically healthy myths and employing appropriate means for deconditioning ourselves from all psychologically damaging myths.

6. A word is not a word for me until the word has resolved in understanding and the word has dropped. The meaning alone remains..

7. We are committed to never using the sacred scriptural words out of context and to continue to revere them, not taking them for granted, in order to gain complete understanding.

8. We have seen the limitation of experiences [seen-gone] and are not interested in new experiences in our spiritual pursuit. Where as all that it takes to cognize realities we value deeply, like listening to the live traditional teacher in formal classes and informal question-answer sessions.

9. We are committed to intellectual sincerity, ever ready to drop a wrong notion when we see through logic and experience that it is wrong, for seeing and admitting our wrong thinking is right thinking.

10. We are committed to alert discriminative living based on universal values known to us immediately in our conscience. What I want others to do/say to me I do/say to others.

11. We are committed to staying with emotional pain as equal and opposite of pleasure and to process our emotional pain in an appropriate way, i.e. expressing it as information without blame. and learning how to do this.

12. In our inquiries we are always interested in asking and answering the question what and not the question why.Because why has no resolution, so why ask it at all?.

13. We are resolved to root out every form of prejudice from our hearts, for any prejudice is stifling to emotional growth and maturity, and self-knowledge cannot brook any form of prejudice..

14. We accept the reality of the unconscious and study enough Jung and his predecessors to help in our emotional growth for the purpose of gaining clear cognition of realities. We are careful not to get caught in these paradigms, for they are not ends in themselves but only means. Psychology has no real solution to the fundamental problem.

15. Our life we live in one day with a deep value not to let an experience pass without gaining some wisdom from it. Experience never taught anyone for it is dumb, but the assimilation of experience through accepting facts that we cannot change with non-resistance and non-judgmentalness which will give us emotional maturity.
