You seek trust and safety for everyone.

Pilgrims strive for the safety of their environment. They trust that consistent nurture will be experienced. They have a sense of trust and safety about the universe and the divine. They seek and see a world based on mutual fairness and immanent justice. They find meaning through a sense of being connected to all other living things.

For you God is a friend, and a very powerful one at that.

They expect Life to be even-handed to them. They deeply experience that the sun shines on everyone irrespective of who they are. God is goodness and love and does not withhold goodness lightly.

You have a unique perspective on life.

The way that they see a situation is not necessarily wrong, but it may be vastly different from the way others see it. They seem to have contact with energy that ordinary people can’t see nor experience. They feel Presence. They touch Heaven. They are living with parts of them in a world unknown to the rest of us.

Embodying parables

Pilgrims have a strong belief in the justice and mutualism of the universe. Their understanding of God is almost always divine beings in human form. They take parables and analogies faithfully and loosely at the same time. Pilgrims regard all beings as worthy of compassion and deep understanding. Pilgrims ”walk the talk” of the great religious traditions (e.g. ”the kingdom of God is within you”).

You strive to live in oneness of God’s creation.

Pilgrims's faith is shaped by an intense awareness of the unity of all living things and the oneness of God's creation. Pilgrims emphasise the importance of equality among people, asceticism in one’s style of living, and the practice of compassion for all.
