What we Believe

What We Know

We believe in an all powerful, all knowing, and all present Creator.

We believe that this creator (by whatever name) has servants (in contact with humans) that are called different things in different things in different cultures (angels, orishas, neteru, etc…) and we also believe that our ancestors are servants of the Creator and work toward bringing their children in line with the divine plan.

We believe that all beings have the creator as their essence.

We believe that enlightened human being have access to the wisdom, knowledge, power, and prosperity of the Creator, and are responsible to use that power to bring forth the Divine Plan.

We believe that each wo/man is responsible for the first the mastery of self, family, community, and the nation.

We believe that every enlightened wo/man is responsible for the protection and the care for those who are less fortunate.

We believe that every wo/man has the right to prosperity.

We believe that each enlightened wo/man is able to live their life as they see fit as long as they do not hurt other living beings around them.
