The Church of Integralism: Three Basic Tenants.

1 - We believe in Science and the Scientific Method.

Knowledge of science is important, it helps us live better in the world.  

A corollary is that science is ever changing.  We may need to change how we live based on new information.

2 - We believe in Source.

There is an unchanging underlying non-physical reality that also contains physical reality.

Source is everything that is and everything that is not. Through certain practices or medications you can experience Source directly by shedding the ego over-coat.

By seeing through the cosmic game.

Few of us have been graced to see through the game for more than a brief glimpse. Some if us can keep a toe dipped in. 

A very, very, few can operate almost continuously from that point of view.  

A view deeply settled in non-dual reality.  The only reality that truly exists.

Everything else, any other movement of mind, just covers over this basic reality.  

But that is what it means to be human. 

3 - We believe Everything is Real.

In between physical reality, which is equal to agreed upon science reality, and non-dual Source, which ultimately includes everything, there is non-physical reality.

There are leaky borders between physical reality and non-physical reality (see figure below). 

Further, when you get to very bottom of physical reality, beyond the smallest known physical particles, there is non-physical reality again. 

The same is true when you get to the edges of the known universe. 

This non-physical reality is different for each person.

It is their personal belief system.  Their faith.

It is above and beyond Science.  For now.  That is why it is beyond science.  If it can be “proven” using the scientific method, this now becomes part of science. 

We accept it as all real.  

For examples, the stuff of science fiction, Angels and Demons of various religions, shamanic power animals, astral teachers.

They are all accepted as real.

We respect everyone's beliefs.

And no one has the right to place their beliefs on anyone else! 

This last line is an important corollary to the third tenant!
