SEVENTH PRECEPT
The seventh is to BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF.
We call it the UNIVERSE but I prefer NATURE. Everything is nature, EVERYTHING. However understand to follow the code one does not put their faith in the idea of a sentient being watching over them. If one believes in nature then one learns one simple truth in observing her, whether it be in the "wild", your own life, or the vastness of space. Nature does not look out for you on a day to day basis.
All creatures are giving what they need to survive, to prosper at birth. That is all Nature does. If the situation changes, or the environment, or a catastrophe happens, nature says to all life, "Adapt, Evolve or die." To humans I would add to that, "Adapt, Evolve, Plan, Understand, or die."
One who follows the code does not look at this as "ugly" or "harsh" but as a validation that it is up to me, or the group I'm a part of to do what has to be done to survive, to live. So whether looking at the bigger picture of the species or your everyday life know that if there is a sentient more powerful being helping you out it too must interact with Nature in some way or another.
Another thing greater than yourself to believe in is THE VISION.In the course of reading this philosophy you will come to see my vision. If you choose to read and learn the Wisdoms you will come to learn all the aspects of life and how they fit to create this new way of just behavior.
In Reverence, is my faith
