DECLARATION OF HUMANITY
October 11, 2001
Since the shocking events of September 11, and the cascade of reactions and
responses that have followed, people everywhere have been asking, "What can
I do? How can I possibly make a difference in this complex and volatile
situation?"
Perhaps what we can do - as a beginning - is to join together on behalf of
humanity in a simple Declaration:
* We shall peacefully and lovingly bring to an end human want, violence,
war, hatred, crime, hunger, poverty, disease, and inequitable distribution
of prosperity.
* We shall accept responsibility for the evolution of life and
consciousness on our planet.
* We shall restore, protect, and nurture Earth's ecosystems.
* We shall meet our material and energy requirements without diminishing
natural or human resources.
* We shall heal our hearts, our minds, and our bodies - individually and
collectively.
* We shall heal our relationships with one another, with the Earth, and
with the Cosmos.
* We shall be one united people, the sovereign people of Earth.
* We shall live in harmony with one another and with all other species of
intelligent life that we encounter.
* We shall learn to balance within ourselves the material and the spiritual
realms.
* We shall consciously evolve as a species, continually enhancing our
intelligence, our creativity, our ethics, our compassion, our love, our
wisdom, and our Knowledge.
* We shall successfully pass through our current evolutionary threshold and
those that await us in the future.
* We shall vigorously protect, defend, and nurture the sovereignty and
freedom of our people and our world.
* We shall respect, honor, and support the sovereignty and freedom of all
sentient species we encounter.
* We shall responsibly venture beyond our home planet.
* We shall be conscientious participants in and generous contributors to
the Greater Community of the Universe.
