The authority for the Ethical attitude is Spirit, or the conviction that the natural world is a Spiritual State. A Spiritual State means that there exists consciousness, existence and being-other or greater than what is apparent to the human senses, that are incorporated into the Whole of the planetary existence as a single living being. The existence of spirit and a Spiritual State may be made manifest to the individual by what is termed Spiritual Manifestations.

These stimulations are modified to a greater or lesser degree by Association, that identifies the source of the stimulation and gives it definition, meaning and context.
