Do Adelphi Members Receive Special
Teachings? Q. What sort of citizenship training do your
members receive? A. Our community is designed to allow its members
to put the information and guidelines provided by the Brotherhoods into
practice. The goal of this is initiation in the Brother-hoods, which affords
citizenship in the Nation of God. Meetings are held each week for the members
and postulants of The Adelphi Organization. The purpose of these orientation
meetings is to learn and discuss the information passed on to us from the
Brotherhoods, and to exchange ideas that each of us has about applying it to
our daily lives. Alternate meetings are devoted to discussion of philosophy
and to the handling of business matters. Since much of Adelphi’s emphasis is
on the raising of our children, many meetings center around discussion of
the philosophy as it relates to childrearing and the family. We are striving
to create a sound environment for ourselves and our children by replacing
undesirable thoughts and actions with more constructive ones. The second part of citizenship training is the actual use and
practice of the information. Only by incorporating Universal Law into our
thoughts and actions do we realize growth. Working together to build a
community provides many opportunities for learning cooperation, and working
with the common goal of Egoic advancement gives each participant a feeling of
accomplishment and satisfaction for his efforts. As we become more proficient
in consistently applying the virtues, our advancement becomes more rapid. By
living in accordance with Universal Law, we present our children with a
viable model of dealing with life situations. We also provide them with the
environment and opportunity to realize their full potential as human beings.
They are thus prepared for citizenship in the Nation of God. |
