[1][2][9] Students of the Fellowship progress through a correspondence course that consists of a series of 12 basic lessons that can be followed by an advanced training leading to acceptance into the Lemurian Order.
[2][5][7][9] According to the Fellowship, the Lemurian Philosophy was revealed to Stelle[7][12] by highly advanced men and women, called Masters or Elder Brothers.
Nonetheless, the Lemurian Philosophy points to various megalithic structures and other features on various Pacific Islands, and in South America and Asia, as indications that the continent and an advanced civilization did at one time exist.
[9][12][21] The Fellowship teaches that, as a result of following universal law as individuals and as a nation, a peaceful and prosperous civilization was built on Mu, reaching great heights culturally and materially.
[1][9][14] When sufficient numbers of people are again educated and trained to live by universal laws, such as those taught by Christ, it is believed that a new, advanced human society will be built.
[1][4] The inherent potential of Egos is considered vast and through discovering the universal laws that govern existence, and then learning to cooperate with and use them, one can eventually master human life[1] and so control one's environment and destiny.
[1][4][7] Within the broader context of the Philosophy's beliefs regarding the purpose of human life, and the organization and operation of the universe, the Fellowship describes the principles it teaches to its students as practical in nature, with the emphasis on applying them to solve problems of everyday living.
[4][6][7][24] To assist towards achieving balanced growth, students work to build their character through developing twelve primary virtues: precision, efficiency, forbearance, patience, discrimination, kindliness, tolerance, devotion, sincerity, courage, charity, humility.
[1][8][9] Other topics covered are health, marriage and family relationships, helping others, the mind, the twelve virtues, the Bible, transition (bodily death), and reincarnation (rebirth as humans).
[7][9][26] One ongoing group activity of the Order is the Lemurian Crafts, where hand-made products have been designed and fashioned ranging from wooden beakers, to lamps, to door and cabinet hardware, to violins and music stands.
