| Our
general Code of Conduct is simply spreading the charity
of Christ through the example of one's faith, gnosis and
self-sacrifice. There are, however, some basic points which
we consider important to follow.
- I will not charge money for sacramental services
including ordination.
- I understand that I have a right to earn a salary
and take up fees for teaching, lecturing, counseling,
or any other professional services related to spiritual
work if I so choose, or that I may raise funds for
charitable causes as part of my spiritual work, but
that my vocation in Holy Orders will remain unpaid.
- I promise never to take personal advantage of my
role in Apostolic orders to gain power, status, or
psychological control over others.
- I will support and encourage the development of
others who join me with a sincere desire to attain
to personal gnosis and eventual reintegration.
- I will not dishonor the Church or any of my Sisters
and Brothers by committing a crime.
- I will not physically or emotionally abuse or violate
human beings, animals, or other living things.
- I will not engage in any activity contrary to accepted
ethical standards, such as lying or deceit.
- I will not passively allow any of the above or
any other evils to go unchallenged.
- I will not make or distribute copies of copyrighted
materials or engage in any activity in the name of
the Church or her affiliated bodies without written
permission from my Bishop, although I may show such
materials to interested persons, unless otherwise
under obligation.
- I will love, honor, obey, and bless the One Reality
and Godhead that is the source and origin of all being.
- I will honor that Reality in all other beings, religions,
cultures, and expressions.
- I will strive for self-evolution and loving service
for the benefit of all beings.
- I will strive to develop and maintain daily and
other regular spiritual practices and rituals.
- I will develop my heart’s ability to love,
understand, and empathize in all circumstances so
that my personal “I” becomes the collective
“we.”
- I will abide by the policies and procedures outlined
for me as part of Aisthésis Internationale.
