Is there a "right" way to practice?
No. There's only the way that works for you. Start with what resonates, experiment, and adjust. Your practice will evolve as you grow. Consistency matters more than intensity.
What if I don't believe everything in Trutheism?
Perfect! Questioning is encouraged. Trutheism isn't about blind belief—it's about exploration and dialogue. Respectfully disagree, ask tough questions, and share your perspective.
How do I balance Trutheism with my existing faith?
They're complementary, not contradictory. Many of our members practice Trutheism alongside their own spiritual tradition. Our framework helps you see how your faith connects to universal wisdom patterns.
