Reaching Our Fullest Potential

From Reaching Our Fullest Potential: Spiritual, Revolutionary, and Humanistic Transcendentalism-

..."The point of my writing is to find the crucial emotional truth and to strike that chord with everything I have in the hope that someone will see their own state of deprivation and want to alter it. It is my belief that if certain, necessary truths are inescapable truths unblock the psyche and are a form of validation. Change becomes possible..."

..."Transcendentalism is often described as a religion of egotism, love of nature, self-improvement, and self-reliance. It is more of a way to connect to something spiritual whether it be nature or God or the life force, and it unifies all people regardless of their race, gender, class, and religious beliefs...."

..."Transcendentalists such as Henry David Thoreau, rebel, questioner, who willingly broke laws in protest knew that justice must be done immediately and quickly, and John Brown lived the belief that one has a duty to disobey and take forceful action against... corruption..."

...." Modern Transcendentalists can partake in any location, and there are no monetary investments needed. First, only fully-informed consent should be given by those who wish to be involved with this new school of Transcendentalism. An agreement to live a life of non-violence, an effort to respect individual rights within a collective unity of other mystics and seekers, and that one will do everything possible to do no harm to all living beings. Second, an obligation to society is encouraged, but not mandatory. It is the goal for all survival needs to be met so that one can pursue higher levels of existence..."

..."All forms of abuse including spiritual abuse, murders and human sacrifices are illegal, and are not excused by religion. Women will be treated with utmost respect and care..."

..."Transcendentalism should be open to secularization and different belief organizations that share the call for individuality, freedom, and reaching one's fullest potential with or without God..".
