Bringing our Heart into a Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities

Nobody is going to be more interested in who you are than you. Shining our love for life and people is infectious. The more we have the more we have to give. Taking the time to love, nurture and care for our Self comes at no cost and yet brings us the full measure of our worth. And those close connections we all dream of.

Hopes, dreams and the reality of this moment come to life - with the power of our imagination - when we dare to steer our gaze deep into the eyes of our Soul. It is here we retrieve our true identity. It is here we meet who we have sensed all this time.

Words can be powerful but it is our actions that speak louder than words. When we change the way we listen, we sense a deeper underlying intelligence that moves through us all. It is an inner knowing we intuitively recognise, and it what we are here to learn to respond to, as opposed to the conditioning of the only life we have ever learnt to accept and react to.

Change. We cannot do it alone. We need those acts of love - the adversity and awful feelings of injustice so we learn how to face our fears and grow what needs to be grown, out of love, to ensure our love. And our sense of belonging.

It takes presence … the awareness of self-awareness to face challenges, so that the freedom to choose, and the freedom to express, once again becomes our own. As does our self-respect, so we proudly walk our path with a clear, independent thinking Mind that is intimately connected with life.

Receiving a Full Education

Enjoying our full human rights comes with ensuring we also embrace the full responsibility of nurturing our emotional intelligence. The rule of law will otherwise remain a construct in theory. The opportunity to practice every part of our human beingness guarantees the rights and freedoms we all deserve.

No where in the Australian Constitution is there a place, a space or a voice that teaches, guides and supports Human connection and the depth of its meaning for a balanced Mind and sustained wellbeing.

Embedding Guiding Principles for responsible living at the beginning of a Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities will ensure we are, as a whole society, receiving a full education, grounded in emotional intelligence and human connection.

Having the skills to know how to nurture a sense of identity to feel our belonging is our natural right and deserves to be embedded into any Constitution as a way of preserving this right. This knowledge will safeguard the way we govern.

It takes bold courage to be the change. When we understand our Mind, we can slowly expand on our current systems of educating and governing to suit how we use our deeper intelligence. We can learn how to end the confusion about what is acceptable behaviour. We can practice a deeper listening to retrieve, heal and restore the intuitive sense of nurturing that is innate to us all, so its ripple begins to infuse the hearts of our families, friends, and future decision makers.

With an education built around a sense of identity, grounded in emotional intelligence we will learn to live as one peoples free from discrimination, segregation, deprivation and gross violations of our most essential human rights. And with that, we will redefine our laws, and strengthen the mechanisms that create the foundations of our International Law.
