Church of Three Principles

I seek to do that which is most in my own enlightened self-interest.

I search to know what is true.

I work to make my ideas real in the world.

It seems that the nature of life makes impossible the wisest choices regarding eternal things. For, in life, knowledge is not complete; nor can it be complete. Therefore some element will always remain unknown. And since eternity might include all things, the wisest choices concerning eternal matters might require full knowledge. Because of this, it may be that enquiries into the nature of eternal matters is not appropriate for humans. It seems likely that, at best, such philosophies should be thought of as no better than speculations. Due to this fact, no ethic should be based on them. Derived from this may easily come the tentative expectation that it may be the case that there is no universal moral law governing human action. To answer this question requires an extremely long procedure of determination. Even so, it is not impossible that a definitive answer to it cannot be made. The implications are beyond the sum of all human activity and thought to resolve. Therefore, one question relevant to ourselves must be: "What am I to do right now?" One answer to this question would be, "I seek to do that which is most in my own enlightened self interest; I search to know what is true; and I work to make my ideas real in the world." By applying these principles, we at least stand a reasonable chance of systematically doing what we ourselves perceive is best for ourselves.
