Welcome, weary traveler, you have arrived at a place of Spiritual Renewal. Within these pages lie wonderful things for your mind to ponder; things which will challenge your understanding of Life - things which will spark a very dim memory of truth - even things which have never entered your mind, but now having done so, you will never forget them. Visiting here explains the Meaning of Life. "The way of all peace is to scale the mountain of Self. Loving others makes the climb down easier. We see all things darkly until love lights the lamp of the Soul." The above words form the first tenet of Novus Spiritus. Within them lies the basic philosophy of the Society, namely: Life is a long journey of discovery, wherein each person must meet - and love - themselves, overcome their own fears, and learn the truth about loving. It is a process of perfecting the innate, God-given beauty of the Soul. Knowledge vs Experience God is pure love and intellect, which means He knows everything there is to know. Yet pure knowledge without experience is empty and incomplete.For example, if you read a book on how to build a boat, does that mean you can actually go do it? Not usually, for the knowledge is necessary, true enough, but it is not sufficient by itself to complete the job. To physically do something is entirely different from simply knowing about it.
