The story of the universe and our place in the scheme of things can be summarised in the following seven core beleifs. These core beleifs provide the metaphysical foundation for the Tribe of the Phoenix and are describe further in Our Place in the Universe.
• The Universe is enriched by our experiences
In the beginning the universe split itself into infinite parts, all imbued with consciousness, so that it could enrich and realise itself. This is the continually blazing fire that is pure joy. This process of realisation is the evolution of consciousness.
• There are many levels to reality
There is an almost infinite number of different levels of reality, or dimensions, out there. We are aware of but a few and they are all as different from each other as physical reality is to dream reality. This adds great variety to the experience of consciousness enrichment and evolution.
• Physical reality is very precious
It is very rare to be in this physical reality which has its own unique enrichment opportunities. These gifts from the source include craftmanship and individuality.
• We are all cells in Gaia's body
Just as individual cells make our body, we are all part of a larger body known as planet Earth. The inorganic rocks and minerals are like the bones and connective tissues; The plants and microorganisms are like the major organs; The animals are like the nervous system; humans are the gray matter of the brain.
• Humanity is Gaia's consciousness
As Gaia's cerebral cortex, humanity provides Gaia's mind and personality. She has been asleep for aeons and her voice has only been heard in our collective unconscious. Now she is awakening and her voice is becoming conscious to us. She will gently gain control of her mind in a similar way to meditation and individuals will spontaneously realise higher consciousness. The point at which this happens is the critical mass talked of in the Celestine Prophesy.
• Gaia is part of a larger family
Gaia herself is but a cell in a much larger body, that of our galaxy. As humans we have friends and family, Gaia has sister planets and father Sun. Gaia is affected by distant galaxies, star clusters and nebulae in a similar way to which we are affected by the constellations and planets. This will yeild a new astrology and methods of deep connection with subtle energies.
• Gaia opens the gateway to higher realities
If we attune ourselves to Gaia's energy field, she will act like a giant antenna bringing in spiritual signals from other levels of reality. This will allow us to journey and communicate with advanced beings and gain great spiritual and practical knowledge. The last time on Earth this happened was during the Golden Age of Atlantis.
