basic tenets
These are the Basic Tenets is the Kevin's Gate Cult...as they are today. We are all in a state of constant evolution, and these Tenets are a work in progress. Please check back from time to time and watch us grow.
1. Strive to treat all creatures great and small with compassion, empathy and respect, so that all things you interact with are impacted in a positive way.
2. Strive to treat earth and nature with great care and mindfulness. Our time on the planet is brief, essentially making us “tenants”. As such, we are responsible for its care while we occupy its space and utilize its resources, so it is important to strive to leave anything we touch, in equal or better condition than we found it.
3. To err is human, but it is what we do with these mistakes that matter. We should strive to learn from our mistakes so that we do not repeat them, and make best efforts to make-whole, anything or anyone that was negatively affected as a result of our mistakes.
4. Strive at all times, in your words and actions, to be your truest and most honest self. Speak clearly, truthfully, and thoughtfully. Never assume, and never be afraid to ask if you don’t know. And never let the opinions of others occupy space in your mind, chip away at your soul, or weigh you down.
5. In nature, that which does not bend, breaks. The only constant is change, and what we know to be true today, could change tomorrow, so we must be fluid in our thoughts, actions and beliefs, and prepared both mentally and spiritually to adapt to change.
6. Be mindful of those less fortunate. We will not always be in a position to be materially charitable, and that is OK, real help is defined by the person receiving it. We should always strive to be charitable in our words and actions.
7. Above all, you yourself are as deserving of your love and respect, and compassion, as any other living creature. It all starts with you, so treat yourself with the same deference and reverence you’d show to anyone or anything you consider divine.
