Democratic Principles

We have been taught democratic principles ever since we were little children.

It is what we believe.

We have learned about the balancing of there three branches of government, the Executive, the  Legislative, and the Supreme Court.

We have breathed those principles when holding meetings through following Robert’s Rules of Order.

We understand the intent of balance to facilitate fairness to this nation’s people.

We understand that government exists at the consent of the governed.

The fact that the government is out of balance and that it was accomplished with that intent is a betrayal of the purpose of democracy.

It is that balance which we seek to restore and safeguard once again.

Democratic principles mean something to us.

We are experiencing an awakening which is mustering a huge grassroots effort.

We intend to restore balance to our government though democratic principles and action.

That is the way our democratic principles are designed.

Be Fearless

Be fearless in the light of your ideals.

Your faithfulness and integrity guide you.

Does something fit well with your ideals?

Then be fearless in pursuing it.

Does it violate your sense of integrity?

Then break off your involvement.

Be faithful and fearless and let your high ideals translate into manifestation.

Observe the distractions around you, but do not fall for them.

Regain your focus on your true nature and work.

What you have to contribute comes from your heart.

Be faithful to what you love and to the uplifting feeling it gives you.

Be sure that you are contributing to the higher nature of expression.

Be fearless in comforting and in lifting up.

Be fearless in your view of the universal goodness of mankind.

Support those who offer an inclusive and generous view of humanity and who put these ideals into practice.

Associate fearlessly with those who are also uplifting mankind in the most appropriate ways.

You will increase what you affirm.

Designed to Rise

I am designed to rise in consciousness and expression.

My ability to embrace the highest ideals and implement them in my life is my most important contribution to society and civilization.

I am able to listen for ideas and turn them into a productive life which uplifts and inspires.

I am designed to find the best and most uplifting solutions and to share them widely.

My potential is to embrace the highest qualities of character within me and to let them shine.

Given the choice of how to live and act, the upward side has the most value.

Giving in to thoughts of exclusivity and smallness keeps a person continually fearful and afraid.

Embracing the largesse of humanity’s potential expands to include everyone.

We all have the opportunity to become bigger by including everyone in our communities.

We can rise in consciousness to think on the scale of universal inclusiveness.

Every time we exercise expansive thinking, we grow stronger with it.

New solutions come to us we see things from a higher and wider view.

We can no longer afford to retreat into the familiar limits.

It is time to realize our larger potential, to rise.

Love Your Ideas

Take all the time you need to develop your ideas.

It is important that you establish a sound foundation.

Learn the required skills and practice them.

Do not be distracted into presenting only a portion of the possibilities.

Explore all aspects and hone their expression.

Your ability to bring fresh ideas into practice helps uplift and inspire those around you.

Your originality is a powerful antidote to mediocrity and apathy.

Your unique and individual viewpoint brings solutions into view that only you can present.

Your voice is powerful when it is sincere and authentic.

Your ideas are beautiful and effective and they have come to you to be expressed.

You are in a good and safe place to express your ideas.

You can trust those around you to understand and appreciate your ideas.

Your community loves your viewpoint.

You can build community around your viewpoint and enlarge it as you share with other points of view.

People will love hearing your definition of your art and ideas.

They will love to hear about the process and your inspiration.

You will continue to attract community the more you express your ideas and include the viewer, the recipient.

Not Being Mad

It takes time to be mad.

Its takes a lot of energy, too.

I have been practicing not getting mad.

It’s just too time-consuming.

Instead, I think about what I love to do, and then I go and do it.

I am much more productive this way.

I am getting a lot of wonderful things done.

I get to see the beautiful fruits of my labor.

I am still mad about some things, but I don’t give them much time at all.

I just head in another thoughtful direction when I feel the anger start to trickle and build.

I really love all the new and beautiful things I am making.

I really love all the time I am spending on designing my new projects.

I have room to receive lots of new ideas.

It is definitely the best use of my time and thought.

United in Community

I have the time to consciously develop community in my new surroundings.

Now that I am paying attention to what I love to do, it is putting me in contact with people of like-mind.

We share the same interests and various skill levels.

We are working on making our contribution to society and civilization better and higher and more effective.

Sharing ideals as well as skills increases the sense of community.

Wherever I go, whenever I find shared ideals, I find community.

Through the internet, many of us are building community with people in different places.

Our desire to share information about earth stewardship is building community around the world. 

Our shared experiences in building new sustainable skills is giving us authentic communication.

Our ideals surpass the constant barrage of advertising for “consumer goods”.

We recognize that we are not the only ones who want to live an authentic earth-caring ethic.

We are united in our developing awareness of just how valuable our earth is.

We are learning how our work in community can take care of us both locally and around the planet.
