Harmony not Upset

Right vs. Wrong ... a strong sense of morality
* Not right to cheat
* Pick things up
* Don't break things
* Live lightly on the earth
* Support the personal growth of others
* Don't hurt them back
* Life is precious "If you found this on Mars!"

There is nothing wrong here
* I'm okay ... I am enough
* Now is all you have
* Suffering comes from wishing things were different

There should be a canon
* Songs ... ohh alafea ashay ashay
* Poems
* Essays
* Books

Scientific World View
* One of the best ways we have for understanding ourselves and all that is

We have rituals so we might as well be intentional about them

Enriched by a scientific understanding of how our minds work

Embodiment ... the human creature is embodied (the following are central to our spirituality)
* ritual
* aesthetics

Healthy behaviors such as eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, exercising, cardio, stetching, strength are critical for a well rounded human being.

Relationships matter
* Family matters
* Connecting with others matters
* Openness ... non-judgement ... acceptance ... open hand -- not grasping
* Delight in another who is being "Happy in the sun"
