Foundational Principles of Maā Så
1. Unity and Equality of Humanity (Ari)
Maā Så affirms the unity and inherent dignity of all people. According to the principle of Ari, all human beings are expressions of a single reality and participate equally in existence. No race, identity, or group is superior or inferior within Maā-t.
2. Freedom of Understanding and Growth
Maā Så respects individual understanding and personal inquiry. Participation does not require uniform belief. Growth within the Society involves evolving one’s understanding in ways that support harmony, responsibility, and the well-being of the community.
3. Alignment with Maā-t
Maā Så is grounded in the understanding that life operates according to Maā-t, truth, balance, order, and reciprocity. Experience responds to decisions and actions. Spiritual practice within Maā Så is directed toward alignment through understanding, not worship or blind obedience.
4. Shared Prosperity and Reciprocity (Ari-Maā)
Maā Så teaches Ari-Maā, the principle of shared well-being through selfless action. Prosperity and stability increase when individuals act with consideration for others. Fragmentation and suffering arise when selfishness dominates; balance and healing emerge through reciprocity.
5. The Seven Thesut
The Seven Thesut are guiding principles that help individuals cultivate clarity, discipline, vitality, and ethical strength. They provide a framework for producing benevolent life experiences through consistent alignment, not guarantees or shortcuts.
6. Continuity of Experience and Renewal
Maā Så understands life as a process of learning and renewal across time. Reflection, correction, and return are viewed as expressions of compassion and opportunity for growth, rather than punishment or final judgment.
7. Growth of Conscious Awareness
Maā Så recognizes awareness as something that develops gradually through experience, understanding, and reflection. Practices such as meditation and contemplation are tools for insight, not escape, and are approached with balance rather than austerity.
