Now that I have expressed the concept of Omnism and my personal perspective that is influenced and apart of it's meaning, I can move on to more direct pursuit of giving it my own measure of understanding.
What follows is The Omnist Standard. A set of principles by which can guide the Omnist on whatever path they choose to take. It is by no means a source of rules or commandments to live by, rather tenets set to help define what Omnism is. If the tenets are not apart of your perspective, then you might not be an Omnist. Of course even if you do follow this standard of your own accord, it doesn't mean you have to consider yourself an Omnist.
The Omnist Standard:
* To have an open mind, and seek the answers in every perspective and belief.
* All concepts developed by humankind, are connected in some way. No idea or belief exists independently of all other beliefs. Every element of the pursuit of knowledge, from science, to religion, is connected.
* Every belief and religion contain truth in some form or another.
* Never stop questioning.
* The Golden Rule exists in one form or another, in every belief and religion, as the most basic of approaches to the development of the self.
* One can hold a single belief above all others linked by a personal connection, yet still acknowledge that all other beliefs are as important, born from the same sources, and entwined by the past, present, and future of human kinds potential.
The Omnists Core Conviction
* This is the belief you specifically might follow more so than any other. It is not necessary for any Omnist to have a Core Conviction, nor is it necessary to define "Core Conviction" as a full belief or religion in and of itself. The "Core Conviction" for some, might simply be a code they live by, such as the Golden Rule, or a mantra, or quote. It is simply the conviction that one has which takes precedence in how one views the universe.
(My Omnist Core Conviction is Quantum Buddhism)
