We affirm that divinity is the essence of life, and life is the essence of creation.
Existence is not accidental. Reality is intelligible because it proceeds from an ordering intelligence. To live is already to participate in meaning.
We affirm that beauty is not ornament, preference, or pleasure.
Beauty is the recognizable presence of divinity in form.
Where beauty is present, life is ordered toward its source.
Where beauty is denied, life fractures and meaning decays.
We affirm that love is the full embrace of divinity through beauty.
Love is not possession, appetite, or sentiment.
Love is recognition received without reduction.
Life without love is not beautiful, and beauty without love is not life.
We affirm that self-discipline is the path to sovereignty.
Sovereignty is self-mastery, not domination of others.
No person is free who is ruled by fear, appetite, pride, or distraction.
