Basic programme structure 6.1. Activities God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 2 of 11

Will include: Individual and group activities Individual and group homework Individual and group assignments Individual research tasks 7. Upholding love and truth This is a brief summary of participant responsibilities to uphold love throughout the programme. More detailed information and the approach that facilitators will take to uphold love is provided in "Appendix 2: Upholding Love & Truth". Participants are encouraged to be transparent, truthful and uphold truth and love, in all their dealings during the programme. Making mistakes is okay; however, participants will be required to correct their mistakes. Participants have the personal requirement to: Be responsible for their attitude, intentions, behaviours, emotional and physical wellbeing Identify which attitudes, intentions and behaviours are out of harmony with love Develop their attitude, intentions, behaviours, and skills in a positive way Programme activities are designed so that participants have the opportunity to: Try new things Be outside of their personal comfort zone Experience a variety of situations and conditions to see how they respond to these experiences, some of which may feel challenging Identify attitudes, intentions and emotions that effect their ability to serve Take action to remove from themselves the unloving attitudes, intentions and behaviours 7.1. Forms of correction (temporary removal & exclusion) In the best interests of the participants and facilitators, there are some situations where the most loving thing to do is temporarily remove or permanently exclude a participant or participants from the programme (see "Appendix 2: Upholding Love & Truth" for more detailed information). Temporary removal refers to a short period of time, such as the duration of an activity or part of an activity. Temporary removal will occur to; To create an opportunity for the participant to reflect upon and take emotional steps to resolve an unloving attitude, desire, behaviour that is negatively impacting upon themselves or others during the programme activities, and to, God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 2 of 11

To limit the effect of an unloving attitude within the participant upon others and the programme activities Exclusion refers to being permanently removed and not being able to continue to participate in the rest of programme. Exclusion will occur if; The participant has been given ample time and opportunity to address an unloving attitude or behaviour but has made no attempt to rectify it and remains in a state of justifying the attitude or behaviour, and/or, The participant's behaviour is directly and actively attacking towards others, themselves or the environment How early in the programme a participant is temporarily removed and/or excluded depends on the severity of their attitude, intention or behaviour. Participants who actively attack or harm others, themselves or the environment, or who have the intention to do so, will be immediately excluded from the programme. Participants who are excluded will have the opportunity to reapply to future Volunteer Selection Programmes. Before acceptance to any future programmes, participants will need to emotionally address the issue that caused them to previously be excluded. 8. Volunteer selection Participants who; engage with the weekly programme requirements, and, demonstrate a sincere attitude of service, and, display the favourable qualities outlined in "Appendix 1: Programme Objectives" will complete the programme. Those who complete the programme may then be invited to participate in volunteer training with either Divine Truth or God's Way organisations. While participants will be trained in certain tasks during the selection programme, they will not be trained in specific roles or skills necessary to volunteer within either Divine Truth or God's Way organisations. If a participant does not have the attitude, qualities and skills needed to complete the selection programme, or is unwilling to develop these themselves, independent of assistance, then they will not be a suitable volunteer for future projects of either organisation. 9. Index of principles & terms More information on God's Principles can be found on the Divine Truth website, www.divinetruth.com under Assistance Group resources "Understanding God's Loving Laws". The outlines for these events can be downloaded at the following zip file link. God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 3 of 11

9.1. Ethics and morality: Ethics is acting in harmony with natural love of all humans. Very simply defined ethics is "treat others as you would like to be treated" taking into consideration love of self, others, creatures and the natural environment. Ethics creates equality between humans. Morality means treating others, ourselves, and all of God's Creation in harmony with God's Love. Morality is a standard or code which helps us understand what is good and evil, loving and unloving from God's perspective. 9.2. Gift: Anything (physical, spiritual, or emotional) given without expectation or demand to receive any form of emotional, physical or spiritual reward or payment in return. This includes the absence of desire for monetary payment, preferential treatment, special attention, approval, 'glory', or a feeling of self-importance 9.3. God's Authority Principles: The label given to the sum total of God's Principles of Scope, Hierarchy, Governance, Responsibility and Compensation working in unison through Laws that force assignment of authority to each soul that creates Each soul is the highest authority over its creations as long as all constituent elements of its creation have been created by that soul God has immutable authority over all of God's Principles, Laws and Creation God has some authority over human creations that contain elements that God created God has no authority over human creations that do not contain elements that God created God has no authority over the human use of will but does have authority over its affects upon the soul God expects humans to destroy their own creations that are out of harmony with God's Principles and has created Laws that assist the humans to do this Humans have direct authority over what they create if those creations do not contain elements that God created If human creations contain elements that God created, then humans do not have authority over those elements God's Laws are working to destroy human creations out of harmony with Love 9.4. God's Compensation Principles: Aim to educate the human soul about the concept of sin God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 4 of 11

Ensure that compensation (reward or correction) is provided to the soul Ensure self-responsibility is the measure for compensation Force the highest creation (human souls) to be responsible and accountable Compensate consistently and predictably according to the soul's actual level of selfresponsibility whether the external environment is affected or not 9.5.

God's Function Principles: Ensure the equal value of outcomes (results, beauty, and the use of resources of time, matter and energy) in all of God's creations Ensure each of God's Laws and creations has multiple functions that are automatically fulfilled Ensure the economical use of resources to create multi-functionality in all of God's creations Ensure the automation of function and outcome Ensure creation itself instinctively "desires" to fulfil all outcomes 9.8. God's Hierarchy Principles: Determine the hierarchy of law by the complexity of each law Determine the hierarchy of creation by the complexity of each creation Ensure more complex creation is governed by more complex laws Ensure higher creations and laws exert more power, have more energy, and more complex properties 9.9. God's Human Desire Principles: God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 5 of 11

Ensure all laws respond to the desire of the human Ensure all laws satisfy the desire used in harmony with God's Love and correct the desire used in disharmony with God's Love Allow for the potential for change, growth, development and transformation of the human soul into a Divine being with immortality by engaging God's Principles of Redemption and Transformation 9.10. God's Human Redemption Principles: Enforce compensation upon human will and desire Ensure human redemption of the soul's will to recover the human soul back to its created pristine condition Encourage a desire for Divine redemption to speed the recovery of the human soul, begin to establish and grow a relationship with God, and precondition the soul allowing transformation into the Divine to begin 9.11. God's Human Transformation Principles: Allow desire driven transformation from the human soul into a Divine soul Allow desire driven absorption of God's attributes by the human soul Allow for potential of the entire soul (both halves) to join in full self-awareness Assign the gift of immortality to the human soul who transforms Assign the potential of infinite expansion and expression to the human soul 9.12. God's Human Will Principles: Ensure all laws respond to the will of the human Ensure all laws satisfy the will used in harmony with God's Love and correct the will used in disharmony with God's Love Gives power and joy to God's Highest Creation (human souls) to create independently, to govern, to be responsible, compensated and redeemed 9.13. God's Governance Principles: Ensure that everything is under God's Authority Ensure God's Laws control and govern all of creation Ensure God's Laws allow human souls to share governance. Each human soul automatically governs, but the power of governance is determined by development 9.14. God's Life Principles: Allow Life energy from God to be given to living creatures Ensure that Life energy is transferred during pro-creation God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 6 of 11

Aim for Life to be promoted, nurtured, respected and sustained Ensure that imbalance is prevented and repaired Ensure matter that "dies" is transformed to promote life 9.15. God's Love Principles: Ensure that Love governs all of God's other principles Ensure that in all God's Laws, Love is enforced, compelled and upheld Ensure that all God's creations experiences God's Love in different degrees Ensure that all of God's creations demonstrate and facilitate the flow of God's principled love Allow for the potential of the human soul to enter a love based relationship with God 9.16. God's Permanence Principles: Ensure God's Laws are unchangeable, consistent, permanent, and self-enforcing Ensure God's Laws are structured, verifiable and mathematical Ensure God's Laws are measurable, quantifiable and observable Ensure that God's creations have safety and predictability in the universe 9.17. God's Responsibility Principles: Force the human to be self-responsible Encourage the human to desire self-responsibility Allow God to reward true self-responsibility with role-responsibility (i.e. roleresponsibility is a compensatory gift given to those with self-responsibility) 9.18. God's Scope Principles: Ensure inbuilt rules are placed within each creation (e.g. genetics) Ensure inbuilt rules determine the creation's potentials, energy flow and properties Ensure external rules affect each creation's properties and energy Ensure external rules allow for expansion of each creation's properties and energy Ensure external rules allow for new laws and creations Ensure external rules control the flow of energy between creations 9.19. God's Truth Principles: Ensure God's Truth is inseparably joined with God's Love as the highest of all principles Ensure that God's Truth is enforced and compelled God's Way Participant Preparation Pack Page 7 of 11

Ensure that all creation lives within the framework of mathematical, scientific, spiritual and emotional fact Ensure precision and certainty in the fabric and framework of creation 9.20. Self-responsibility: Self-Responsibility is the Law based requirement of self-awareness, to seek truth, love and understanding of all principles of Love and Law, and the loving ownership and expression of one s will, desire, passion, emotion, attitudes, intentions, thoughts and actions in harmony with God s Principles and Laws. A person s level of self-responsibility is measured by God not as the perfect embodiment of humility, expression of love or desire for truth but by the sincere desire to attain this state.
