From our human perspective, it seems like there are many shades of gray regarding “honesty,” not only the value of telling “white lies” at times, but also the difficulty of living in a competitive environment with faultless integrity. Can you describe how we can be expected to follow an absolute expectation like the Fourth Divine Principle: “Be honest in all transactions as a way of honoring the soul of the other party and one’s own soul and its integrity?”

The Fifth Divine Principle seems straightforward: “Share what you gain from your efforts with others in need, in a balanced way, to not harm the self or loved ones, who rightfully have priority.” But here as well, no two people will likely make the same choices and decisions in following this guidance. Can you help us better understand what corresponds to sharing in a “balanced way?”

The Sixth Divine Principle seems to be an invitation to simply live lovingly: “Share love in everything you do, and be open for opportunities to give your love to others in as many ways as you can, through acts of kindness, giving thanks, being respectful, offering encouragement, and showing appreciation and gratitude for what you received from others as well.” Given that no two people are alike in their characteristics, there will be inevitably, a wide variation in what people recognize as opportunities and choose to act on. Can you help us understand whether there is an absolute divine standard of performance here, or how else to implement this Principle?

Can you help us understand the importance and consequences of neglecting the Seventh Divine Principle: “Safeguard your soul to nurture its learning and growth, not at the expense of others but to meet your responsibility to be your soul’s guardian, and take care of its safety and protection from harm?”

The Eighth Divine Principle is very demanding: “Aid all others with their learning and growth, to understand their need for this as a birthright and an important part of life, and understand this does not represent the actions of an enemy, but fellow humans in need, and not meant to take away from you getting your share. In a world of love there is room for all. This is both a challenge and an opportunity.” Can you help us understand and perhaps give examples of where human society is falling short, and what is meant by the “opportunity” this represents?

As a healer, we were pleased and gratified to see the Ninth Divine Principle: “Healing and repair is the highest of priorities for the self, as no one else can see to this. It must come from within each person as a desire and a commitment to make the investment, to guarantee a happy future.” Most people are still unaware of how many difficulties are undermining them, and many of the rest believe their only option is to “soldier on” and may even look forward to their passing as a means of escape. Can you explain for us why a “happy future” depends on their taking action to obtain healing?

The Tenth Divine Principle is the longest, and perhaps the most challenging: “Honor the need of others to have healing and to see their plight, in part, as your responsibility and obligation as a fellow human, so you are sympathetic, and supportive, and understanding of the importance for them to have a pathway to healing in order to make up for losses and wounds to their soul, as all will be harmed when one suffers. You are in this together and share the responsibility for one another. No one is safe until all are safe. This is the true and quite profound meaning of the unity of the human family. You can make this a practice because it is not only an idea but a reality.” Can you help us better understand in what specific ways human beings belong to “the unity of the human family,” and what is at stake as stated by the words: “No one is safe until all are safe?”
