IMPORTANCE OF LIFE AND FAMILY
We believe in family, friends and keeping our children safe, more so in a world that seeks to dismantle and destroy the very concept which is central to our existence and continuation as a species. We are not meant to be alone because as much as we are sexual creatures who reproduce our own successor generations, we are a social species even though it does not always seem like it. That simply means we are not designed for or intended to be or evolved to be isolated and alone as individuals. Even if we only have only a couple of friends and no more, that simply demonstrates the previous as being its own natural truth. Without one another we decline, our health fails and it shortens our life spans dramatically.
Though this has been a basic teaching of every culture, every religion, and every expressions of spirituality and society in one form or another far beyond recorded history, modern medical sciences have only now began to start catching up with these basic facts. Such note that when we are developing during childhood, close and healthy family relationships as well as friendships can ameliorate the impact that adversity has on lifespan physical health. Such sense of family identity and healthy relationships including mutual support and trust, conflict resolution, obligation based responsibilities by necessity, and parenting behaviors evolve and change from childhood to adolescence. Together, these characteristics govern whether childhood family relationships are harmonious and positive enough to fill a moderating role in which they mitigate the effects that childhood adversities have on physical health as well as psychological and emotional stability and health. Its not a hypothetical or theoretical concept. It's observable everywhere.
This is in no way in conflict either with some of our basic sentiments such as:
-
The One and Three are the source of all ultimate knowledge.
-
Worshiping The One and Three properly means actively participating in the sciences and / or becoming fluent in the language of The One and Three which is the mathematics and geometry expressed everywhere, in all and through all.
-
Church services are talks on new discoveries and how they help humankind and reviewing new articles on various advancements.
-
Charity work in the community is heavily pushed, as in cleaning it up, maintaining its stability and integrity, as a collective example of the pride of people who reside their and encourage them to always improve upon it without having to sacrifice a reasonable amount of preservation of history that belongs to all, good or bad.
-
The church collection is used to cover church costs and extra money goes to scholarships in STEM (Sciences, Technologies, Engineering and Mathematics).
-
The church's mission is to extend the lives of everyone indefinitely and increase the happiness and well being of it's members through furthering the development of human intelligence as well as practices that improve the overall mental, physical and emotional health as well as social bonds of members, as well as their families and relationships with their neighbors.

To bring a better understanding of the concepts within the Drikeyu (Dree-key-oo meaning Three Keys) through which the One and Three are expressed, and which when understood reflects the connection with the concepts of cosmic laws/mathematics, cosmic reciprocal dynamics/consequences, and a singular unifying essence from which all things are made and are the innumerable forms and expressions of it thereby uniting our theology, spirituality philosophies, and sciences as merely diverse ways of observing the same objective and distinct reality of all things our limited human perceptions can ever hope to fathom.
This is precisely why we embrace the concepts of logic, humor and absurdity as mutually inclusive when one is able to truly understand and appreciate existence beyond themselves as well as have a deeper sense of appreciate for their existence and those with whom they share that existence with. That being said, Druwayu, despite what many assume to be parody fail to see it is not a parody movement designed to mock or denigrate spirituality or religiosity. Its quite the opposite even though it isn't always apparent.
We are also pragmatic to a point:
Yes, most who come to understand the main messages of Druwayu with its lore logical approach to things also strive to deal with things as they are, not as we wish they were, and strive to do so sensibly in a rational way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations that really exist now at the present without projecting the present on the past or on the future, and rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules. This does not mean we do not recognize the importance of such things as much as a recognition all things have their proper place and cannot be used as all encompassing conclusions for everything else. If they are complimentary but different, for example, its only because they reinforce one another rather than appose and are irreconcilable. It doesn't matter if one cannot accept such as being such a way as it wont change just because it does not conform to their own personal dispositions, desires or will. In short, its not always all about you, but also if you always ignore others when things are about them being neglected or disrespected by you than you are truly the problem and its you who needs a wake up call.
That being said, as simple as Druwayu is it is also complex with its many attributes and allows room for different views and ideas such as "if there is some sort of reality" one can call a Heaven of some kind in concept than its a destination based on turning away from one's old negative tendencies and being kind and peaceful here and now, and this is true even for those who so not necessarily have a belief in anything in particular. It's their qualities as people that matter most, not blind devotion and subservience, and certainly not something based on "deeds done out of a hope for such a reward." It has to be authentic in other words. In addition we also have the ability to collectively make this state of existence here and now closer to a living heaven of its own or turn it into a living hell and that is where the real struggle comes from.
The hard part is when it has been observed many times over those who seek heaven to be here and now and those who seek hell to be here and now, and all too often its hard to distinguish from one another, especially when such are imposed tyrannically or though manipulation, imposition and exclusive utopian delusions because in both goals its all about causing others to prosper while others are merely scrapped as "extra baggage." They all will stink of the same arrogance and dictatorships one way or another. Its also willful ignorance of the same who think to be truly heavenly there can be no "violence, or hate" of any kind for in order to preserve the peace and freedom one has to always fight to keep it as there will always be those who seek to control and take such freedom away.
If one demands for the removal of all hatred and racism they also are being foolish because if you consider racism bad than you must accept the necessity to hate racism. So hate is not itself wrong when applied properly. You also cannot "policy" out the views or opinions of others without destroying your own right to have independent opinions in opposition. If one bans or demands "no killing" of anything other than animals specifically for food or from becoming food than one is ignorant of the need to kill things that cause needless sickness, needless suffering, and needless pain which than spreads more of the very thing you pretend to be apposed to.
Its not that such things cannot be sorted out, however, that is why sweeping demands imposed as rules, laws and regulations cannot always be followed to the letter without placing one in a situation where they must ultimately go against the said "letter" of said laws, etc. Then again, these concepts are rather simple to learn and realize when the concept of family, friendship and regard for others is part of the very dynamic of one's existence and not empty streams of data followed as a program. And one of the things that help reinforce the principles of family and friendship is having fun, learning to not always take everything, including yourself seriously al the time, and learn to not get angry over simple mistakes (things not done on purpose), much less punishing anyone for simple errors.
