Bailey's African Tradition Spiritual/Metaphysical Dictionary Volume 26

Standards are criterion (e.g. a rule, test, model, example) against which like-kind things are compared for similarities/differences. Spiritual Standards are based upon Cosmic (God) Laws-- themselves vibratory Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural. They, and their Attributes--by being immaterial, eternal (timeless), infinite, consistent, permanent, stationary--are of Absolute Certainty. All of these comprise the metaphorical vibratory Circular Cosmic Spiritual Genetics River System which connects Cosmic Creatures/Creations into multi-systems via the ultimate and infinite unifying force, Unconditional Love. Using African Tradition's Qualitative Algebra, Spiritual Standards enable humans to Differentiate Harmony from Disharmony; Integrate those having Correspondence (i.e. same God Genetic Seed); and infer Human Ideal Right Life Living Guidelines. These Guidelines are applicable in Spiritual, Spiritual/Metaphysical, and Spiritual/Metaphysical/Physical realms. By Cosmic River System Guidelines allowing for variations, without penalties, humans can used individualized means of discovery of practices to conform to its rhythms of virtues and morals for doing Selfless "ME/WE" benefits. Such of African people's traditional unchanging strivings while in life's flow of Events (changing Realities) equates to a Group Spirit of Continuity (unity among apparent diversity). By contrast, human-made Standards represent agreed upon criterion of excellence--"is it FOR me or AGAINST me"--or "injustice giving 'Us' unfair advantages and 'Them' unfair dis-advantages." This book points out certain Spiritual, Secular, and Supernatural cult Standard aspects.
