Does a Person Have to Believe “TUF” To Become a Member? Question: Is
a person required to believe there are seven planes of existence and
invisible beings in order to join The Stelle Group, or can he become a member
simply because he wants to help mankind? Answer: A
candidate for membership in The Stelle Group need not
believe unquestioningly all, the ideas THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER presents.
If the philosophy makes sense to an individual and he is in sympathy with it, that is all that is required. Personal proof can be
discovered for many of the concepts in the Philosophy, such as the laws of
cause and effect, and one can prove to himself that mental attraction and
precipitation really work—but one must first be willing to believe that they
are possible. One cannot prove that there are seven planes of existence until
he is an The
concepts of karma and reincarnation fit quite reasonably into the Philosophy
and an acceptance of these ideas, though not a total belief in them, is essential to understanding of the Brotherhoods’
philosophy. Many of the ideas basic to THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER could be dropped
in order to make its philosophy more palatable to a larger number of people,
but the book was designed to show people how things evolved, where we’re trying to go, and how we are expected to fulfill our
human roles in the overall Plan of the Brotherhoods. One’s
wanting to help mankind and liking the idea of a community are not
strong enough reasons for joining The Stelle Group. There is a point where
disbelief keeps one from an understanding of the Philosophy
which is basic to our work. The task of The Stelle Group is not just
to build a community to succor humanity, but to re-establish a civilization
worthy of the name and to bring about a general uplift of
mankind which will reach far beyond our present lifetimes. This kind
of effort requires an unremitting drive which is
possible only through a deep understanding of what we are working for. (08-1971) |
