Credo - My personal statement of belief
CREDO

I believe in an infinite creative universe.

I believe the fact of existence, the inconceivable jump from 0 to 1, is evidence of its miraculous nature.

I believe that the fundamental subparticular force of matter is “intention”, that which endows all matter with a tendency to exist.

I believe that everything exists in one location-moment-being of space-time-identity.

I believe in the mergyeugnau, in which the universe celebrates itself through an endless process of differentiation into the many and reunion into the one.

I believe that entropy, electromagnetism, gravity and conservation of matter are mechanisms of this divine process.

I believe that the experience of individual identities within a context of linear time is the result of serial perceptions of individual locations within space-time-identity.

I believe that consciousness is the experience of intention within dynamic systems.

I believe that all systems from the quark on up are dynamic, only observable on different scales.

I believe that organisms are fractal arrangements of conscious units.

I believe an enlightened state of consciousness is the flickering existence of a happy fragment that embraces both the restrictions and specificity of its identity and its unity within the whole.

I believe attachment and suffering are a fundamental component of fully living this individual identity, and to seek to completely overcome them within in this life is to deny the miracles of love, creativity and compassion.

I believe that notions of justice, fairness, perfection, beauty, measurement, truth and meaning are infinite and are only relevant within a self-limited context.

I believe that the most valuable guiding principle is compassion, for oneself, for others, and as the loving acceptance of the self-limited context that we inhabit.

I believe that intuition is a complex sense whose mechanism we have yet to describe and that grace is empiric evidence of that which we take on faith.
