Bringing our Heart into a Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities

Feeling emotional is our deep yearning in remembering what we most long for. And that is to be with what feels friendly, inviting, cared for and loved. This deep longing lives in our Awareness, and grows every time we let ourselves feel vulnerable - heard, held and comforted. When we are a loving friend to ourself we are a loving open-hearted friend to others. Shining our awareness reflects the deep wisdom of our deep intelligence and the intimate understanding of our shared human conditioning.

Changing how we think and feel … we cannot do it alone. We need those acts of love, loss and injustice, so we learn how to face our fears and courageously grow what needs to be grown, out of love, to ensure we carry forward this almighty precious responsibility of remembering how to keep our Spirit and the Spirit of our family strong.

Receiving a Full Education in Human Connection - Emotional Intelligence

Standing up for our human rights is a shared responsibility. What we hold onto and what we release affects the movement of life from one side of the world to another. We are all connected. It is a fundamental principle of natural law.

When we understand our Mind, we know we have the power to shift the paradigm of our current systems of governing to reflect our deeper intelligence and our childrens good nature. But it takes bold courage to be the change.

Learning vital life lessons starting from our earliest of years is our power for change. Understanding who we are beneath our skin is our natural right and deserves to be embedded into any constitution as a way of preserving this right.

Every person deserves to feel love for theirself through recognising the seed from which their identity is grown.

Enshrining 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 so we feel and stay connected.

Creating a place, a space and a voice in the Australian Constitution that teaches, guides and supports human connection and the depth of its meaning for a balanced Mind will open our hearts so we live by our truth with pride, dignity and respect.

With an education built around a strong sense of identity, grounded in emotional intelligence, we can learn to live as one peoples free from discrimination, segregation, deprivation and gross violations of our most essential human rights. We can redefine our local laws by defining ourselves and how our values are formed, and in doing so, help strengthen the mechanisms that protect our world and International Law.

The opportunity to practice every part of our interconnectedness with unequivocal, shared, inclusive and freely available Guiding Principles for Responsible Living will bring to life the rights and freedoms we all deserve.
