From the Bylaws of The Church of Conscious
Harmony...
The Church of Conscious Harmony (CCH) exists for
the sole purpose of facilitating the spiritual journey for people who
want to make God-devotion the center of their lives while living in the
ordinary world without the aid of monastery walls. Our aim is to
provide the focus, the teaching and the community support required for
individuals to grow in self-awareness from the illusion of separate and
separative existence to the fully enlightened experience of conscious
union with the living God.
Our basic teaching stands on two legs:
| |
1. |
the traditional Christian contemplative
practices of silent meditation and active prayer, and |
| |
|
|
| |
2. |
the esoteric Christian school of
the Work of G. I. Gurdjieff. |
Though we are firmly founded on these teachings,
we are not limited by them or to them. We are free to reach deeply
into all religions and spiritual traditions for insight, wisdom and inspiration;
using these gifts to illumine our own religious roots and to enliven our
spiritual practice.
Though we necessarily employ dogma, theology and
ritual, we use these tools solely as a means of assisting individuals
to attain personal experiences of God's presence and activity in their
lives. We encourage all people who worship or study at CCH to engage
in intentional daily spiritual practice and study, realizing these to
be absolutely essential requirements for becoming aware of and receptive
to God's Transforming Grace.
We also encourage loving service to our human family.
Ultimately, CCH is a community of individuals who acknowledge their absolute
dependence on God and humanity.
