God created the universe. God exists. He is and beyond the universe, he is everything. He is infinite. God is in and outside of TIME, SPACE, MATTER, FORCE, GRAVITY and DIMENSIONS. Beyond positive or negative. As creatures of God we can help make our environment a better place. Do something good everyday. Be respectful and kind. The greatest advise came from Jesus Christ: "'''Love one another as I have loved you'''." The other advise is as old as humanity: "'''Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'''". For the bullies, it goes like this: "'''Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.'''"

==We are the guardians, protectors, custodians, keepers, caretakers, maintainers, defenders, overseers, curators, administrators and stewards of God's blessings and creation==
We are the guardians, protectors, custodians, keepers, caretakers, maintainers, defenders, overseers, curators, administrators and stewards of God's blessings and creation.
 
God reveals himself to us through creation. We are not to have dominion over creation, we have been entrusted to live in harmony with God's creation.
*We are to have responsible and sustainable stewardship over God's creation.
*Utilize God's creations to improve yourself, to achieve your goals, and to learn as much as you can from your journey in life. Do not abuse God's creation. Gain from it and share your abundance. Develop what you can but with the attitude of sustainable development for posterity. Harvest the bounty of the world but always let nature return to its living splendor.
*Always treat God's creation with: [[respect|'''RESPECT''']], [[prudence|'''PRUDENCE''']], and [[gratitude|'''GRATITUDE''']].
*Do not waste. Use only what is needed. Do not simply discard when you no longer need a usable item, donate it or recycle it. Recycle all waste products and do not simply dump them. Keep our environment clean.
We survive and prosper by utilizing God's creation. As long as we are on this planet, everything that we do is intimately and intrinsically connected as it is all throughout the universe. The air that the Brazilian feels against her face could possibly be that same air that gently touched the face of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The rain that the Australian feels rolling down his cheek could very well be originated from the evaporated waters in Mongolia. We are all connected. We all breath the same air and we all drink the same water.  Care and sustain mother earth. Do not pollute, corrupt or defile your source of life.
 
The development of technology allows us to manipulate science for the advancements towards prosperity of humanity but more often than not, at the sacrifice of mother earth. The knowledge of science and technology was meant for the salvation of God's creation and not simply for the prosperity of humanity. 
 
Every child outgrows its nest. Soon humanity will outgrow mother earth. Will mother earth be able to nurse us until our minds will be advanced enough so we can wield its ultimate power of traveling beyond time, space and matter with a the simple power of our thought? Maybe, maybe not. Until then let us not deprive mother earth with the advancements of science and technology. Let us be the stewards of the universe. Let us propagate universal stewardship.
 
The bible documents that humans shall have dominion or shall rule over the earth. It reads: "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule (have dominion) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." That mentality has led us to the deterioration of our environment. We are not to have dominion or rule over the earth. We are supposed to be the guardians or stewards of mother earth.
 
The order of things are as follows: God, self, family, country(tribe), religion(ideology). Let us not ever forget that. Universal Stewardship is not about religion or country. It is about God's creation.

==[[Basic needs of humanity|Instinctively we seek prosperity, longevity, and enlightenment]]==
Survival is our basic instinct. To survive we the creatures of God need:<br>
{{:Basic needs of humanity}}
 
Once survival is secure, our minds begin to think about prosperity. Let us go back in time when humans have not yet grasped the idea of farming, animal husbandry, reading, writing or advanced technology. The day to day activity of man was simply to find sustenance and maintain his shelter. As he was able to find the right dwelling for his shelter, he was able to return to this abode after he has garnered his sustenance for the day. This dwelling is a precious possession and must be protected for his survival. He begins to think of ways and means of protecting his prized possession. The skill set that he has developed for foraging and hunting must now be also directed toward the protection and preservation of his dwelling from predators and competitors who wish to plunder upon him. Man learns fast that it in order to survive he must not only have sustenance and shelter, he must also have security.
 
The survival instinct, forced man to think of his security. Injuries forced him to think of ways and means to save and cure himself.
 
As he became more stable, man began to think more of the what if's. If I can do this, what will it do for me? The man who had the skills to cure wielded the power of life and death, and with this the notion of the power over death came to be. The man who had the highest skill set of security (fighting, attacking, defending) became the leader and protector. The community looked up to this protector and relied on his strength and skills for protection. They honored him. His words became commands that must be obeyed. <br>The man who had highest skill set of healing the sick became the "healer" and "wise man". The community looked up to and respected these two. Man in his greed took advantage of this.
 
The healer attributes the healing of the terminally ill to a power that is beyond his own. He realizes this and thus the enlightenment that there is a power incomprehensible by him or others. The healer begins to rely on this power of the great being that he can't see or feel but heals. He shares this knowledge and confirms himself to be the conduit to this source of power.
 
As time goes on, the "wise man" becomes a spiritual leader. For the severely injured he works his healing skills and begs the mercy of the being beyond.

===Strengthen the bond of the village with Reward===
The chief of the village grants rewards to those who are loyal to him. Positions of confidence and status are awarded to those who do good for the village and to those who maintain loyalty to the chief.
 
The spiritual leader formulated the same technique. He had to come up with the "salvation of the soul" from the damnation of sin. He had to create a place where the damned souls are going to go. This place of damnation became HELL, and the place of eternal reward became HEAVEN.

===Pride Vs Vanity===
We are proud of our prosperity, accomplishments, possessions and our loved ones. Pride is good, it makes humans accomplish great things. As we achieve more, we also recognize that others look up to us more, this makes us feel good. People admire our accomplishments and then so do we, which gives us pride. But the craving for more leads to vanity or conceit. Vanity leads to self-admiration, unwillingness to share, and to the other negatives in life. We begin to deprive others, we begin to cheat others, we begin to insult others. Vanity lead us to envy, to yearning for what we do not have, which then leads to transgression and to the deprivation of others.
 
Pride is a feel good attitude. It make one feel alive. Be proud of your accomplishments. Be proud of your family, your children, your parents and your spouse. Be proud of your country. Pride nurtures unity. However, never mistake VANITY for pride.
 
Vanity is empty. Vanity will always remain as the favorite "sin" of the devil. It is easy to fall for Vanity. It is more difficult to be humble. Humility is acceptance. Humility is "quiet pride", it is between the individual and God. Once humility takes on a "voice" it leans towards vanity.
 
==Religions and ideologies must be kept separate from Government==
Universal Stewardship does not advocate any government or any religion. However, we do insist that government must be kept separate form religions or any ideologies. We ask our followers to do their duty to God and their country and follow the [[Principles of universal stewardship|principles of universal stewardship]] and the [[5 things to do or follow|5 basic rules]].
 
The order of things are as follows: God, self, country(tribe), religion(ideology). Let us not ever forget that. Universal Stewardship is not about religion or country. It is about God's creation.
 
As mentioned by the founder of Universal Stewardship, Franklin H. Maletsky, "Let there be freedom of religion, but keep religion separate from government. A country that bows down to the laws of religion will one day be governed by religion."
 
==Government and Prosperity==
Government can't prosper without the prosperity of the individual. No organization, community or government can prosper without the participation of the individual. The majority of individuals in a group acting together forges the success of the group. The [[Basic needs of humanity|12 basic needs of humanity]] must be addressed. One of the most important need is the need for COMMUNICATION in order for a group, organization, or government to succeed and prosper. Every citizen must be treated with equal respect and must be availed with the same opportunities based on vetted qualifications.
 
Not all humans have equal abilities, intelligence, attributes and talents but this does not and should not diminish the rights of any human. Not all of us will prosper equally.
 
The [[Basic needs of humanity|12 basic needs of humanity]] must be protected and maintained by the individual. It is in each one of us to be the steward of these 12 basic needs.
 
#Government and Sustenance: Government will assist in the feeding programs for the needy. Government aid will go to those who are certified to be physically or mentally unable to sustain themselves. Anyone found to be capable but suffer from "addiction" will receive free medical attention and evaluation.
##Agriculture: Government will provide free research. Government will assist in irrigation programs, acquisition of seeds, fertilizer, pesticide and management. The government will actively participate in continued development of sustainable ranching, livestock production, aquaculture, reforestation (public and private). If finance is needed, loans will be given at low interest or no interest at all. Never a handout but always an assistance. Farm to Market roads (access) will be provided by the government and the security of such accesses will be guaranteed by the government.
##Charitable organizations and individuals: Government must work with any organization or individuals who are willing to help the needy. Acts of kindness must never be condemned.
#Government and Shelter: Emergency shelters will be the immediate responsibility of the government. Temporary homeless shelters will be provided. However, each family or individual must pass a thorough vetting procedure. These shelters are meant to help the needy get back on their feet and back to mainstream society. Never meant to be a permanent residence for the capable. Those found incapable of moving on, will be reevaluated again for mental or physical disorders.
##Government will protect property owners from deprivers or squatters.
##Government must entice private industry to provide affordable housing through taxation incentives.
#Government and Energy: Government will assist the private sector in creating and maintaining energy resources. Government will regulate the private industry in this field. The private industry will be allowed to profit from the marketing of energy but never to gouge the citizens. Incentives must be provided for the development of continued sustainable source of energy.
#Government and Unity: To foster Unity, the government will make [[respect|RESPECT]] the "standard bearer" of the government in all its functions. [[respect|RESPECT]] will be the priority in all public schools. GIVE [[respect|RESPECT]]. DO NOT EXPECT RESPECT. "Respect is to be earned, only if lost once given."
#Government and Propagation: Government must never interfere in the basic human rights. Government must protect human rights. The freedom of choice must always be respected. However, this does not mean conceding to the deprivation of others.
#Government and Security: It is the obligation of the government to protect its sovereignty and boundaries or its domain. Prosperity must always be protected from deprivers. Government must protect its citizens and registered residents from foreign and illegal intruders.
#Government and Exploration: Both government and the private sector will share common knowledge in exploration. A common database must be created where access is free.
#Government and Healthcare: Each individual must take care of himself/herself. Within a community or government the ultimate responsibility for the service of healthcare is that of the government. Healthy citizens enhances the prosperity of the country. The private sector will supply the government with all the necessary supplies at responsible profitable rates.
#Government and Education: The inherent responsibility of education is upon the individual, the family, the community and ultimately the government. Free education is the responsibility of the government. Educational supplies for students will be the responsibility of the citizens. Educated citizens enhances the prosperity of the nation.
#Government and Pleasure: The freedom of choice will never be taken away from the individual. The right to be entertained and to be happy will be left to the private sector and government's job is to make sure that no laws, rules, or rights of others are not violated.
#Government and Leadership: Government can't function without leadership. This remains to be in the hands of the citizens.
#Government and Communication: Government must guarantee the free flow of public information. The freedom of speech must be upheld but never at the sacrifice of human rights. Never at the sacrifice of [[respect|RESPECT]]. Cooperation must always be encouraged.
 
==[[Individual Peace, Family Peace, Community Peace, Country Peace, World Peace and Universal Peace]]==
{{:Individual Peace, Family Peace, Community Peace, Country Peace, World Peace and Universal Peace}}
 
The path to peace is through [[prosperity]] with accountability and security. An individual who has achieved prosperity is seldom "wanting" or greedy. This is also true with the family, community, country, world and the universe. However, peace must always be protected. Defense or security must always be maintained. There is always a bully around the corner who will try to take what you have. We must also protect ourselves from natural disasters. Security guarantees survival.
 
==Quotes to live by==
#Jesus Christ: "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
#The Bible's golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or another way of saying it is: “Treat others the way you want others to treat you.”
#Moses: "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another."
#Buddha: What we think, we become.
#Swami Sivananda: "Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success."
#Mother Teresa: “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
#Billy Graham: "A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone."
