Basic Tenets

Out of God come all things

Let's look at one of the basic tenets of MSIA – "Out of God come all things."

Spiritually, the same flow of energy that is going through you is going through me and through others. This is why Jesus said that "when you have done it to the least one of these, you have done it to me" (Matthew 25:40). Because all things come out of God, if we become prejudiced against one, we have become prejudiced against the awakening of our own consciousness of love.

God loves all of its creation

Let's look at the MSIA tenet "God loves all of Its creation."

In the Bible, it says that after God created the world and human beings, He saw that it was very good. That means God loves it. God is maintaining us here and has also given us the ability to build and change according to our own will.

Not one Soul will be lost

The Soul is the energy of God manifesting in the physical body. Since out of God come all things, God cannot lose Itself. People cannot lose their Soul, for how can anyone lose something that is immortal and that has always existed? Hence we say "Not one Soul will be lost."

Guidelines

Take care of yourself so you can help take care of others.

Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt others.

Use the spiritual guidelines that say, "Take care of yourself and take care of others. Don’t hurt yourself and don’t hurt others."

Those are two spiritual guidelines upon which to base your life, two guidelines that will never get you in trouble. Those teachings are of Spirit. Anything telling you to go against those teachings is not of Spirit.

Use everything for your upliftment, learning and growth.

One of the precepts in MSIA is "use everything for your upliftment, growth, and learning." Most of us want to get out of our hard times as quickly as possible, and we will do all we can to change things. And what if they do not change? Rather than going into discouragement or any other form of contraction, change your attitude and, if you have not done it already, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?"

You may be in a situation because you still have to internalize it more and allow it to shake things loose inside of you, until you finally say, "I don't need this anymore. I'm free of it." Then the challenging experience, the stumbling block, becomes positive as you use it as a stepping-stone. It may also be that you are clearing karma or learning something so that when someone else tells you about a similar situation they are in, you will have empathy and maybe even some ideas to share about how you got through it.

As you lift in consciousness, you're moving into the ten qualities I teach about:

Health, wealth, and happiness.

Prosperity, abundance, and riches.

Loving, caring, and sharing, and touching to others.

Think of the integrity of those words. Start to make them your breathing in and your breathing out. When you're irritated with somebody, start to love the irritation because you might not be able to love the person just yet, but you can start to love the irritation. You start to mix it with the ingredients of Spirit.
