Principles and Applications

The life experiment

What the experiment of life is?

This latter consists to live its life to learn the lessons from the existence and so to grow and progress towards its goal. This mechanism of improvement-progression is called “the Ascension”.

Location, Action & Direction

The experiment of life is practised in the human society in contact with its fellows. So, one should not reject, condemn or diabolize the society. It is necessary to accept such as it is and live in this one to contact of other individuals. Even if these latter do not correspond to its personal aspirations. The closed communities and in rupture with the rest of the world are finally only ways to proscribe, because they stop the life experiment and consequently bloc the improvement of being. The experiment of life is based on the acceptance, the communication and the sharing between all living beings. Thus it is necessary to live its life to make the experiment of them. However the latter will be controlled by principles of life allowing to individual its personal growth.

Worship Place & Community

Shandarism does not have a place of worship for the simple reason that the central practice is not based on worship, but on the experiment of life and the personal growth which results from this. The experiment of life is not practised in a temple or a church, but in the society in contact with people of different horizons. Consequently a place of worship becomes useless.

As for the community, even thing! To meet between people sharing the same vision or the same objective, that's good. But to final one realizes that this system isolates intellectually the individual instead of connecting it to the rest of the world. What fatally will hinder its personal growth. Therefore the community was transferred on the direct entourage of the individual. The Shandarian community, it is the family, the friends of the person and not of the men and the women sharing the same belief. That they share or not the Shandarism, its vision does not have any importance. Because here, it is the personal growth which is fundamental, not the faith. However a link between the individual and his membership of Shandarism is maintained by the intermediary of the “centers of communication”. I.e people who are especially there to communicate and keep the contact.

Another form of practice

The life experiment is thus the central practice of Shandarism. It consists to live its life to learn the lessons from the existence and so to grow and progress towards its goal. A natural practise, simple to apply and there are nothing of complicated. But this exercise also marks a rupture, that of the worship with the great traditional religions. Where in other spiritualities it is necessary to pray, to venerate and to dedicate worship with God, Shandarism puts an end to this kind of practise for leave the place to a spirituality based on life experiment and personal growth of individual. Contrary to the other religions, it does not enslave the individual and does not alienate its mind. It leaves free the peoples. The practice of Shandarism is thus a positive exercise for the health and the wellbeing of man.
