It's not okay imo. Like a child with a mother, and him never being allowed to meet

And what gave birth to order?
Good question. You find the answer to that, let me know and I'll add it.
I'm sure we would all love to know the answer. But what have birth to order is unknown. The importance of noting the birth givers is to be conciously aware of your known origions. In other words. Cognitively concluding that the birth giver of Order, may never be known, and that's okay.

Still on board here. However, I was hoping to see Strength , Passion and a bit of leadership included above. Surely the path of that particular seeker is bound to include some incidents. For example, having to dive to save someone drowning; pulling someone out of the clutches of a bad guy; taking risks of some sorts. Is the list comprehensive or it is an extract only.
Just wondering before you go further.

The list is never complete, or incomplete. They are just guides to help you.l along your path.
Each salvation is unique to the individual. So it makes sense that some guides will work for some, but not others.

You can self reflect, and add as you go.
For example, in my life I smoke cigarettes and occasionally marijuana.
I feel that I should add "self sufficiency" to my list. That is, the lack of addiction, the lack of dependency. This also is better for my physical health, which I believe to be a good principle.
This type of self reflection, or self awareness (an ither principle I listed) brings a feeling of self productivity, which is a great motivator.

I haven't borrowed anything, but in my opinion all religions have the same end goal, and striking similarities, mine is no different. The names and descriptions or some ideology bent to better frame my own mind at peace. A sum of my personal core beliefs.There is more to come that I know for a fact is a mix of Hinduism and Buddisum. Both duality and non duality, Deity of self, or gods, ect.
DeadCat: I have not intent on brainwashing. X) Anything I put into this should make logical sence, at least until we get to the after life aspect..How does one NOT believe in anything? Subconsciously at the very least one must come to some sort of an after death, whether it be puragtory, blackness, heaven, hell.

Would you guys like to know a bit about the after life I will be attempting to explain? Since we are on the topic now?
DeadCat: Why does it have to be hell? If I am thinking for myself though this all, and not just following other religions, I come to the conclusion that my death will initiate my personal belief of what an after life entails.

They (religions) do have the same end goal. That is to provide a belief system for the unwashed masses. One they can trust and feel themselves within a shared 'community' of mutual fellowship. They do not know they are condeming themselves (after physical death) to an eternity of entrapment; or what is commonly understood to be HELL; forget the damnation part, just by participating in a belief system one is damned. Can I name you my Cheese Burger Cat? Joecroft? what do you say? a good candidate?

Joecroft: Hi just passing by, thought I’d drop in…Ahem…(adjusts tie)
“Good candidate” you ask…I’ve never really thought of myself as a cheese Burger Cat candidate before…
Although if I was…I would be the Greatest Cheese Burger Cat, that ever lived…Heck, I’d even have my own cheese burger factory…including vegey burgers…
There you go, bring in Masonic Imagery:
JC: That “eternity of entrapment” you speak of is just another, cog in their spiritual ladder step (hopefully anyway) either up or down…And just like the game snakes and ladders one sometimes has to go down before one can go up…- JC

Just so, correct; you are in charge of your own enlightenment progress (don't get stuck between rungs).

I wonder as well; and what is that disembodied hand reaching for? Why are the Pleiades depicted around the moon, what is going on with the checkerboard..the capitols on the three pillars are different; its a puzzle!
