Planting the seed of our Heart into the Australian Constitution by way of a Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities will ensure we always remember who we are.
‘Each moment of our life shapes the whole of our life, and that we are not always responsible for what befalls us, but we are certainly responsible for our response’ Fr Ignacio Ellacuria SJ (assassinated 1989)
At the very Heart of Human Rights and Responsibilities is knowing how to listen to our Spirit - that which connects us to our Heart, identity and sense of belonging.
Human Rights and Responsibilities begins as a felt experience. A feeling.
It is a two way movement of the Mind and the Heart.
Our Constitution was written for us, the Australian people. It is ours to bring forth into society as a reflection of our good nature and to lay the foundations for a democratic process that is in harmony with our sense of freedom, expression and truth.
Laying down Guiding Principles for Responsible Living, embedded in Wisdom and Knowledge, at the beginning of an Australian Bill of Human Rights and Responsibilities will be a guiding reminder of who we are, and it is an echo to First Nations People to say we hear you, and we walk with you, two Hearts as one.
‘Sovereignty is a spiritual notion’ because we are all Spirits, Souls walking this earth together. Let us not forget our connection to each other. We walk in two worlds but we must again learn to walk from our Heart so that the patterns of nature are in harmony with our Mind and we can feel our connection to our Self. When we feel the truth of our Heart beat, our love for each other grows naturally, and the stories of our Mind disappear. Our sense of forgiveness, compassion, wisdom and truth lead the way and breathe a new language where voices are heard and we can feel our power in the ever changing flow of life.
Legally enshrining Guiding Principles for Responsible Living will safeguard the natural rights of society so we raise our children to become emotionally connected adults - built on the foundations of a strong Mind.
Having the skills to know how to nurture a sense of identity so we feel our belonging is our natural right and deserves to be embedded into the Australian Constitution as a way of preserving this right.
When we are all governed by the same Guiding Principles, there is no confusion about who we are, and how to be.
Being (listening) - Knowing (trusting) - Doing (right action)
Learning what to listen to and why will help us to develop good strong personal and shared values, enabling us to follow through on these values in a principled manner. We will recognise what is considered the very best in human behaviour and this will strengthen the way we govern, protect our democratic rights, and our natural freedoms.
This knowledge can then be proudly carried through to our children, who will carry it forward to their children, to safeguard the well-being of our beautiful land and those who live on it.

How my heart feels…
‘When those of us have felt the terrible ache of suffering and dismantled its ugly cloak from our Soul, new life breathes wisdom into our Heart, for we can never again judge any Soul for what has blinded them so.
When we are led always by our compassionate Heart and the language of love, we know that every whisper, every smile, and every kind word might be enough to have an everlasting impression on those still lost in their mind.
We may never know the might of sincerity’s touch, but over time we may see kindness meet kindness wherever we go’.
