Though listed as a religion for legal and tax purposes, Spiritual Science is a philosophy - a way of life - a non-sectarian spiritual practice that teaches individuals to plumb the depths of their relationship to ALL things, to their concept of Deity (God/Goddess/All That Is) and to their own selves.
Spiritual Science is an investigation of a person’s relationship to God/Goddess on a very personal level. Based on individual understanding and application of the laws and principles of the universe, and on esoteric and metaphysical philosophies, it encourages each person to test their beliefs and prove them scientifically to themselves as much as possible. Spiritual Science is the science of individual spiritual growth and service to humanity and the planet.
Spiritual Science teaches Man’s relationship to God: Spiritual and Scientific. It teaches humanity - whence it came and whither it goes! Spiritual Science teaches continuity of life, but first of all it teaches man’s co-relation to God!
Spiritual Science is soul development, soul-unfoldment, soul-progress. The culmination of these three-in-one is: Love, Unity and Peace.
Paraphrased from the tenets, originally from
Rev. Julia Forrest,First Spiritual Science Mother Church in New York City, 1935

Love is reckless
Love is reckless; not reason.
Reason seeks a profit.
Love comes on strong,
consuming herself, unabashed.
Yet, in the midst of suffering,
Love proceeds like a millstone,
hard surfaced and straightforward.
Having died of self-interest,
she risks everything and asks for nothing.
Love gambles away every gift God bestows.
Without cause God gave us Being;
without cause, give it back again.
