Continuity

This page is part of “Creating a New Positive Religion or Spiritual Tradition”.

This is still a DRAFT.

Many religious people find continuity across generations in their tradition. How does our tradition offer this?

Heirs of humanity’s wisdom

A new tradition cannot claim a lineage of ancestors going back centuries. Instead, we see ourselves as heirs of the wisdom of all of humanity.

Guided by the values of Lumessianity, we look for suitable texts from the past: literature, philosophy, science, and even religious texts, when they fit our values.

Our shared humanity

We emphasize our shared humanity: we can learn from all cultures, and enjoy bits and pieces from each of them, just as a person can enjoy going to different restaurants that prepare different cuisines.
