"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." - The D.L.
During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not. – Maya Angelou
Tenets of Onism (or monism)-
1. The world is one thing - the self cannot exist without other - you are one as long as you don't divide yourself by the many traditions of our time, such as religion and nationality. Other cultural traditions, identities, such as your political stance, are the works of separatism and unification, as they both unite and divide man.
2. There is no need for God when the universe creates itself.
The universe is a circle, a cycle, a loop. It goes from singular to separate, from big-bang to universe, to black-hole, to big-bang. We are truly the birth of ourselves.
If we wish to think of Creators as Gods or the Universe as God (pantheism) that is entirely up to us, and is not needed, it isn't a biological imperative to have a God.
3. Janism and Buddhism - No harm - The end of Suffering - there is destruction and creation, but as a species we should do nothing purposefully that harms another. If we live to do no harm to ourselves we will live at peace. War is always an effort to cause harm.
The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges every one, and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life (The Second Treatise of Government, Chpt. 2 Sect. 6)
5. Death is passing - None will experience unawareness.
