1. We recognize one Infinite Spirit / Power / Presence, God; and God is Absolute Good. 

2. We recognize God's perfect ideal for humankind as exemplified by Jesus and other Spiritual Masters; and we believe that the Divine Light of Infinite Spirit shines through us all.

We believe there is Truth in all religions and we honor all paths to God.  

3. We believe that the Spirit of God is active and involved in every area of life and creation.  We call that activity the Holy Spirit.  It represents the Unconditional Love of God for all. 

4. We believe that through Prayer, Meditation, and Spiritual Study we can realize the  Divine Light in individual human consciousness, as did our way-shower, Jesus.  When we do, we become better able to play a creative role in attaining our highest human and spiritual potential.  We co-create with God a life of purpose, love, joy and abundance for ourselves and all people.

We believe firmly in Human Rights - that all people have the right:

• to self-determine
• to be well and at peace
• to prosper
• to be free from exploitation and oppression of any kind
• to worship and celebrate Spirit Divine as they choose

New Thought Spirituality

The foundation of New Thought philosophy is:

God is all, both invisible and visible.
One Presence, One Mind, One Power is all there is.

This One that is all is perfect life, perfect love, and perfect substance. Man is the individualized expression of God and is ever one with this perfect life, perfect love, and perfect substance.

Man's expressions on earth are not perfect because Divine Life flows and filters through human consciousness, which sees and believes in duality. Therefore, our expressions mirror the dual nature of our mind, the mistaken belief in two powers.

Life is governed by the law of mind action.

While this and other related principles are not new, but ancient, they are taught extensively through the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, Charles Fillmore, Ernest Holmes and other New Thought pioneers who expressly put forth this doctrine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the United States. We use much of their materials as tools for instruction in New Light Temple. More contemporary New Thought favorites are: Eckhart Tolle, Depak Chopra, Louise Hay, Michael Beckwith, Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks, and many others.
