The Seven Beliefs of AMSWAY



AMSWAY has only Seven Beliefs Which Harmonize With the Two Propositions.

 

       

All other writings of AMSWAY are thoughts on
understanding and living these seven beliefs in our daily life.

 

1.

I BELIEVE

in an Infinite, Omnipresent God.

An Intelligence that is everywhere and all places.


God is present wherever I am,

and is also waiting for me

when I get to the place

I am going.

God hears through all who hear.

God sees through all who see.

God feels through all who feel.

God smells through all who smell.

God thinks through all who think.

God loves through all who love.
God is Self-aware through all creation.

 

2.

I BELIEVE

if I want a cherry tree, I must plant cherry seeds.

I must give to the universe exactly

what I wish to receive from the universe.
I have no right to expect from the universe
what I am not willing to plant first.

I must treat all of creation as I want
all of creation to treat me.

 

3.

I BELIEVE

in the continuation of my awareness of

existing in the universe after my body dies.
This is a continuation of my awareness of being aware.
It is not a continuation of my human-body-identity awareness.

 

4.

I BELIEVE

I am here for the contribution
I can make to the rest of creation.

All of creation exists for the part each
has to play in the symphony of the universe.

 

5.

I BELIEVE

I am here to learn how to be
a better contributor to the rest of creation.

My spiritual education comes from my experiences

and my thoughts about my experiences.

If I stub my toe, I learn to watch where I place my feet.

God does not punish - God educates.

 

6.

I BELIEVE

my appreciation of two great incredibles
is the key to paradise.

The first great incredible is
THE EXISTENCE -- OF ANYTHING AT ALL.

The second great incredible is
MY AWARENESS -- OF ANYTHING AT ALL.

Whenever I appreciate these two great incredibles,

Everyday experience becomes divine experience.

Every breath I take

Every step I make

Every thought I think

Every drink I drink

IS INCREDIBLE

 

7.

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT

Love God With All My Heart

Truly appreciate my awareness of being aware
and my love of God will be my very being.

Every act I make will be an act of worship.

 

PRAISE GOD

That is it.

Very simple.
