    About this ebook

    Every religion has its story - oral or written. CS Tapu searches the story above and beyond any particular religion - the very quest for Being.
    A quintessential spiritual book, these original Teachings are the fruit of millennia of religious thought and practice. They will surely provide valuable insight for the spiritual beings of believers and non-believers alike.

    "There is only one religion: the religion of peace, love, hope, and good will. The religion of helping hands."
    --Dr. CS Tapu

    "Tapu is a pioneer that generations will follow."
    --Dr. Lisa Christiansen

      Teachings on Being - Codrin Stefan Tapu

      TEACHINGS ON BEING

      The Holy Book of Religious Leaders, Followers, and Non-Believers

      Copyright © 2013, 2015 by Codrin Stefan Tapu. All rights reserved.

      Smashwords edition.

      ISBN: 9781304051943

      This eBook, including all its parts, is protected by copyright, and must not be copied, re-selled or shared without the permission of the copyright owner.

      Note to the reader: this book is not easily assignable to any particular literary genre, such as fiction or non-fiction. It can be interpreted as a modern essay written in the style of ancient religious and philosophical texts, or as a fictional sacred text, or as you like it. It contains personal opinion of its author. It is not intended in any way to offend the beliefs of any human being, and it should be treated as such.

      What is The New Faith?

      I tell you first all this, in order for you to witness and partake of this birth. There are many more things to be said and done, but I want for us to do it together!

      The great dangers of today are the opposition to spirituality, attacking from the rich lands of the Northwest, and religious fanaticism, finding shelter in the poor countries of the Southeast. They are the two bishops who double check, diagonally, King Human.

      These dangers can only be annihilated through a new start. The New Faith is not yet another faith. It is a new way of living the old faiths.

      A way of not killing for our ideas, of not dueling them, and of not merely agreeing to disagree, but of acknowledging that we are all equal, different but together, honoring the traditions of our parents and ancestors. These traditions, put together, are our most precious heritage.

      The duel of the two fanaticisms can give birth to death. But the love of the different will make the world reborn.

      The greatness of humans

      The greatness of humans lies not in their origin, but in their destination.

      In the world, there are a few people who can do a lot of evil, and a lot of people who can do a few things to prevent them.

      Be one of the latter!

      Your beliefs are important

      Your beliefs are important. But so are others’ beliefs. Do not try to convince others of the truth of your beliefs. Be open to arguments, debate, but never give up on what you hold most dear, and never ask others to do that.

      If all people believed the same things, we would always be in the Stone Age. Great ideas were born out of debates.

      Diversity is the yeast of civilization.

      Harmony and progress are the fruits of the love between those who are different. Only together we can find solutions. But only if we do not think the same.

      If you don't love yourself truly

      If you don’t love yourself truly, if you don’t trust in your personal value, then fear and cowardice are the mortal dangers that await you. They give birth to hypocrisy, flight from responsibility, undue shame, fear of what others say, lack of mutual help, abandoning the other in pain.

      Greed is born by fear of not having or of losing. Vanity is born by fear of letting show your lack of worth.

      Some people change when they conquer power; they become arrogant. They don’t feel powerful, because they know that the power is not theirs.

      Arrogance is born by fear of not losing one’s status, which is everything for them, because they feel they are nothing.

      Some people support you as long as they feel safe, and when they see their status menaced, they abandon you or pretend they don’t even know you. They may whisper in your ear: You’re good, go ahead, but I don’t want to get involved any more.

      Others fear that you may take their places, and then they steal your ideas and do not acknowledge that you are better than they are.

      Envy is born
