Mission Statement

Our community focus is finding the path back to the source by developing a relationship with God via deep immersion in and respect for nature and its processes. We lead compassionate, heart – centred natural lifestyles free from violence, and our ultimate goal is to establish a real life community where we can truly live in peace and purity.

Community Description

Greetings! We’re glad you found us. It is not by accident that you have come across our listing today. The universe has led you here for a reason.

If you’ve been feeling displaced in the concrete jungles oppressing you, alone in the ocean of people that surround you but don’t understand you, repelled by the unnatural state of the world and attracted by an irresistible magnetism towards purity, nature, faith, God and the source of all things, then you are in the right place.

We are the Eden Junglists (each a ‘Junglist’), a group of revolutionary individuals who seek to return to God via nature by mindfully treading the logical path back to the Garden of Eden by transforming our daily lives into an act of nature – worship. Race, age, gender and sexuality do not matter to us – if you wish to develop a powerful connection to nature and the Divine, we welcome you.

At present, we are a spiritual/religious community connected by our souls and of course by the internet! We have very real plans to convene and create a heart – centred, nature – based, God – conscious community in real life in the future, which is why we have created this listing – to gather all those interested in a new way of life so that we can move forward together.

Our name was inspired by the visions that our founder received with regards to the true nature of humankind, our true habitat, our transgressions and the whereabouts of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Although this pertains, of course, to the Biblical account of the Exodus, we are by no means a Jewish or Christian group. In fact, it is the belief of the Eden Junglists that God is One – all religions are simply lamps through which the same Divine light shines, and people of all religious backgrounds and none are welcome to join us in our pursuit of our true nature.

Please ensure before contacting us that you align with our philosophy and agree with our precepts. Details can be found on our website. To find our more about our religion by visiting our website: https://edenjunglists.wixsite.com/edenjunglists .

Be sure to contact us via email if you are interested in joining our religion – and eventually our community – so that we can keep you updated.

What are the precepts?

The basic precepts are as follows:

1. Treat other people with kindness and compassion

Unless somebody is directly threatening or endangering you or your loved ones, you should behave amicably toward them. Debates are fine, but we must draw them to a close when personal attacks and spite ensue. Discrimination on the basis of gender, race or sexual orientation is unacceptable. Try to resolve conflict and discord in a non – violent manner.

2. Reject animal slaughter and exploitation

This means refraining from the use and consumption of meat, fish, dairy and eggs, along with products that have been tested on or that contain animals such as some cosmetics and medications. Exceptions can be made in the case of serious illness where the health is imminently threatened, and the use of a non – vegan medication is the only option. In place of meat, dairy and eggs, the diet can be filled with any selection of the impressive array of edible plants and fungi on offer – of which there are 20,000 or more to choose from. Honey is permitted if it is from an impeccably ethical and natural source.

3. Protect children from conception to adulthood

The Eden Junglists recognise the importance and Divinity of children at every stage of life, and firmly rejects abortion, aggressive parenting practices and the exclusion of children’s valuable opinions and insight on all levels – spiritual, ethical and moral. Children are to be welcomed, valued and respected, irrespective of their age. With regards to abortion, exceptions can be made if the woman’s life is in imminent danger due to health issues.

4. Do not knowingly allow foreign or synthetic substances to enter the body by any means; do not give consent for such treatment of your children, elderly relatives or other dependants

This means that, amongst many other things, processed food and smoking are to be avoided – as should manufactured recreational drugs (such as cocaine and heroin), and self – care products such as shampoo and soap that contain synthetic chemicals. ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’! Keep the body, blood and mind clean.

5. In acknowledgement of the three major spiritual foundations of our time (Judeo – Christianity, Islam and Hinduism) – which are spiritually unified – one should observe cow protection, Halal and Kosher law.

This should come very easily to anybody who is vegan, as vegan food is automatically cow – friendly, Halal and Kosher. It is not a problem if one’s food has been stored in the same fridge or cupboard as Haram or non – Kosher foods, however.

6. Do not spoil all the food with fire; leave some or all as God intended

Whilst we don’t call for all food to be eaten raw, at least a portion of the food one eats each day should be eaten raw so as to absorb through it Divine energy (also known as Chi or Prana). A totally raw vegan lifestyle is ideal, but not essential.

7. Educate oneself on the topics of religion, spirituality, philosophy, medicine, healing and culture.

Knowledge truly is power. Use the power of your own mind to objectively analyse any information presented to you. Be wary of false information, bias and concealment of the truth. Shine your light on all that you survey, validate your instincts and intuition, and make independent decisions based on all factors.

8. Raise children (whether your own or those you influence) with the qualities of compassion, resilience, critical thought and mindfulness

…So that they may grow to be beings of integrity, creativity, truth and light.

9. Dedicate a daily activity to gratitude for God and nature’s bounty

Ritual for ritual’s sake is unimportant, but taking time each day to give thanks keeps us centred. Any activity can become a spiritual one – Whether it’s your morning yoga practise, doing the dishes, painting a picture or eating dinner. During this time, focus on abundance and love, whether you currently perceive it or not.

10. Never forget your calling

We recognise the ultimate need to return to a time and place before transgressions; a new Garden of Eden (Israel). This is both a spiritual and a physical need. Whilst we may not be able to physically relocate to the pristine jungle that God has prepared for us at this time, we may be able to improve our current circumstances. Each week, consider what could be done to make your life more natural and pure. Meditation, yoga, mindfulness, barefoot walks in natural spaces, houseplants and organic food are all things that could help you to feel more connected to nature. Don’t become too entangled in the mundane – the best in life is yet to come! Never forget your calling – if you are a Junglist, you have a very special mission and destiny to fulfil that will release a positive ripple effect for the whole of humanity and beyond.
