You may interpret the following names to mean or reflect any individual name or combination of names or states of a personal God, impersonal Ultimate or, science or humanistic Reality Totality concept that you would like to use. Know that in the terms listed above we are speaking with awe, wonder and a forever an incomplete understanding of the Great Mystery and inter-connectedness that we each and all exist within --- no matter what we may call it or how we may describe it. If you are more comfortable with your current names for Ultimate Reality and your choice of name(s) best supports you, there is no reason to discontinue using what is most meaningful and powerful to you while involved with our organization. Please also note that in addition to our most ofter used term Ultimate Reality, we also occasionally use several other different names like Universe Consciousness, Ever Present Origin, Integrative Spirit, Integrative Consciousness or similar terms for both the personalized absolute concepts of God (Yahweh, Christ, Goddess, Jehovah, Allah, Krishna, and the various Trinities, etc.) and/or for the non-personalized absolute concepts (Buddha, Buddhahood, Brahma, Consciousness, the Tao.)  For individuals who are humanist, science based, agnostic or atheist we use Total and Ultimate Reality concepts such as The Universe, Kosmos, the Great Radiance, Ultimate Concern, Ultimate Wholeness, Ultimate Unity, Total Existence, the Great Mystery, Total Post Big Bang Reality, etc. As you might imagine, integrating the absolute personal and impersonal Oneness concepts of both eastern and western spirituality with the Ultimate Reality or Existence Totality concepts of science and humanism has been a challenge.  What we offer above is our attempt to recognize the many ways the world's spiritual, humanistic and scientific traditions have acknowledged the ongoing great mystery of Ultimate Reality. We also believe that creating both a trans-denominational understanding as well as new omni-denominational usages for the name(s) of Ultimate Reality is inherently important to the omni-denominational Universe Spirit movement.  In part, this is because the journey to increasing your understanding of Ultimate Reality in all of its name forms can help the spiritual growth process. This is because when you are both learning about the infinite facets and qualities of Ultimate Reality and you are consciously evolving in partnership with Ultimate Reality, you are on the greatest, most rewarding physical and/or spiritual partnership in all of the evolving physical universe. This journey toward and with Ultimate Reality is the most primal, purposeful and only adventure in all of existence that will: a.) create every single thing that is worthwhile to be or become,  b.) help you to do every single thing worthwhile that could be done and,  c.) eventually create every single thing that is worth having --- both now and throughout eternity!    To date this is our best effort to integrate the core personalized and non-personalized life-affirming spiritual wisdom from both Eastern and Western religions as well as the best Ultimate Reality and "Ultimate Concern" concepts from religion, philosophy, science and humanism that refer to the Ultimate Universe Reality and our optimal relationship to it.     This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
