SolSeed < SolSeedMovement < GaianCreed
The GaianCreed is the foundation for Gaia's People, a religious outgrowth of the SolSeedMovement.
Life is precious. It has always been precious, It will always be precious.
Life exuberant bursting through boundaries to flower and spread creates the conditions for more Life, in an Upward Spiral of ever-growing possibilities.
As you are alive, and I am alive, and in kinship with all other beings nourished by the Earth and Sun, we are Gaia --- the Body of All Life.
Gaia's Destiny is to take root and flower amongst the stars --- to give birth to a family of living worlds.
As Gaia's intelligent spark, we are called to express the Arete of Life, We are called to fulfill Her Destiny.
We who answer this call dedicate ourselves to Life. We join together in a community of practice to align our words and our actions (thoughts, words, actions, habits, characters) with our highest aspirations (and immediate?).
Through art and nature we awaken in ourselves and others the Cosmic Religious Feeling that ignites wonder, fosters compassion, and inspires invention.
Our sacred duty is to embrace Passion, cultivate Empathy, and pursue Wisdom, So that our being honors Life and our striving hastens The Great Birthing.
Passion drives us. Without Passion, Empathy and Wisdom are powerless.
I pledge to stoke the fire in my belly, to compassionately care for my inner elephant --- to really be me, Happy in the Sun!
Empathy is transcendent. Without Empathy, Passion and Wisdom are evil.
I pledge to love others as I love myself, to consider their needs as if they were my own --- to Grow Ours, not just Get Mine!
Wisdom is effective. Without Wisdom, Passion and Empathy are reckless.
I pledge to seek truth by studying the world around me, to develop my character through regular practice --- to cultivate sound instincts.
Through Passion, Empathy, and Wisdom we have come to know that:
We are Gaia's People awakened by starlight growing nurturing discovering We Bring Life!
