WE, the Seekers

Our Quest

We come to spiritual study because of our seeking, like others before us, for the way of the world, the way to live right, and the way to thrive on this earth and beyond. Our material body does not carry us far enough without the life of the spirit, so we quest...

We acknowledge that we will not find answers to all questions, but continue the quest joyously for what we will find.

We learn from the seeking of others and we build on the foundations of all who have gone before…

From the Buddhists, we learned to seek inner peace,

From Chinese and Indian practices, we learned physical practices as a path to higher spiritual awareness,

From the Jews, we learned of justice and the drive for freedom,

From the early Christians, we learned of compassion,

From Islam, we learned of consistent, daily practice and devotion,

From the Reformation, we learned that struggle for positive change is an inevitability,

From the Friends, we learned to recognize that of God in every man and to speak truth to power,

From the Enlightenment, we learned the value of scientific method to aquire understanding of the physical world,

From the native American Indians, we learn of our enduring relationship to the earth,

From the Revolutions, we learn the importance and power of every man and the temporary nature of Kings,

From all religious spiritual pioneers, we learn the value of continuous striving,

From modern technology, we learn the power of applying knowledge,

From the warring of nation-states, we learn the horrors of applying knowledge without wisdom.

In our seeking, our goal is to acquire the knowledge and, more importantly, the wisdom to exercise our spirit's will in a way that brings a lasting society of peace, prosperity and justice to us all…
