Rules of the Road: The 13 Principles of Spiritual Activism Original Title Principles of Spiritual Activism The following principles emerged from several years' work with social change leaders in Satyana's Leading with Spirit program. We offer these not as definitive truths, but rather as key learnings and guidelines that, taken together, comprise a useful framework for "spiritual activism." 1. Transformation of motivation from anger/fear/despair to compassion/love/purpose. This is a vital challenge for today's social change movement. This is not to deny the noble emotion of appropriate anger or outrage in the face of social injustice. Rather, this entails a crucial shift from fighting against evil to working for love, and the long-term results are very different, even if the outer activities appear virtually identical. Action follows Being, as the Sufi saying goes. Thus "a positive future cannot emerge from the mind of anger and despair" (Dalai Lama). 2. Non-attachment to outcome. This is difficult to put into practice, yet to the extent that we are attached to the results of our work, we rise and fall with our successes and failures—a sure path to burnout. Hold a clear intention, and let go of the outcome—recognizing that a larger wisdom is always operating. As Gandhi said, "the victory is in the doing," not the results. Also, remain flexible in the face of changing circumstances: "Planning is invaluable, but plans are useless."(Churchill) 3. Integrity is your protection. If your work has integrity, this will tend to protect you from negative energy and circumstances. You can often sidestep negative energy from others by becoming "transparent" to it, allowing it to pass through you with no adverse effect upon you. This is a consciousness practice that might be called "psychic aikido." 4. Integrity in means and ends. Integrity in means cultivates integrity in the fruit of one's work. A noble goal cannot be achieved utilizing ignoble means. 5. Don't demonize your adversaries. It makes them more defensive and less receptive to your views. People respond to arrogance with their own arrogance, creating rigid polarization. Be a perpetual learner, and constantly challenge your own views. 6. You are unique. Find and fulfill your true calling. "It is better to tread your own path, however humbly, than that of another, however successfully." (Bhagavad Gita) 7. Love thy enemy. Or at least, have compassion for them. This is a vital challenge for our times. This does not mean indulging falsehood or corruption. It means moving from "us/them" thinking to "we" consciousness, from separation to cooperation, recognizing that we human beings are ultimately far more alike than we are different. This is challenging in situations with people whose views are radically opposed to yours. Be hard on the issues, soft on the people. 8. Your work is for the world, not for you. In doing service work, you are working for others. The full harvest of your work may not take place in your lifetime, yet your efforts now are making possible a better life for future generations. Let your fulfillment come in gratitude for being called to do this work, and from doing it with as much compassion, authenticity, fortitude, and forgiveness as you can muster. 9. Selfless service is a myth. In serving others, we serve our true selves. "It is in giving that we receive." We are sustained by those we serve, just as we are blessed when we forgive others. As Gandhi says, the practice of satyagraha ("clinging to truth") confers a "matchless and universal power" upon those who practice it. Service work is enlightened self-interest, because it cultivates an expanded sense of self that includes all others. 10. Do not insulate yourself from the pain of the world. Shielding yourself from heartbreak prevents transformation. Let your heart break open, and learn to move in the world with a broken heart. As Gibran says, "Your pain is the medicine by which the physician within heals thyself." When we open ourselves to the pain of the world, we become the medicine that heals the world. This is what Gandhi understood so deeply in his principles of ahimsa and satyagraha. A broken heart becomes an open heart, and genuine transformation begins. 11. What you attend to, you become. Your essence is pliable, and ultimately you become that which you most deeply focus your attention upon. You reap what you sow, so choose your actions carefully. If you constantly engage in battles, you become embattled yourself. If you constantly give love, you become love itself. 12. Rely on faith, and let go of having to figure it all out. There are larger 'divine' forces at work that we can trust completely without knowing their precise workings or agendas. Faith means trusting the unknown, and offering yourself as a vehicle for the intrinsic benevolence of the cosmos. "The first step to wisdom is silence. The second is listening." If you genuinely ask inwardly and listen for guidance, and then follow it carefully—you are working in accord with these larger forces, and you become the instrument for their music. 13. Love creates the form. Not the other way around. The heart crosses the abyss that the mind creates, and operates at depths unknown to the mind. Don't get trapped by "pessimism concerning human nature that is not balanced by an optimism concerning divine nature, or you will overlook the cure of grace." (Martin Luther King) Let your heart's Ok I do not know if I absolutely agree with all of this but it is a nice compilation of reformed adages: " keep on the sunny side"888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888I noticed you went from a very positive beginning in your posts to utmost nerve racking gloom and doom- a vortex of anxiety.Believe me I do the same thing.it IS good to "vomit onto the page" and get thoughts in another place besides your mind so writing is cathartic.

I would like to say IF I had the chance to turn back the hands of time and it never happen that is what I would choose, however:
I have to be thankfull for my experience.
I have learned much about what anger and negativity do, well what we as humans let these low emotions do.
I have been blessed with certain individuals who support me and I will never be able to thank Tux enough...she is an angel..
K, I am going to cry now.
Yea it sukked....and from what I have learned about this house and me and what I incited, not just this one experience, but what I, with my thoughts, emotions, etc. brought into the physical, 3d plane is a priceless experience.
I am quite sure my "battle" is far from over...but now I enter it with new knowledge and a re~formation of conciousness and tools and love....boil all things down to anything...nothing can stand in the face of love.
shazbot, nanu, nanu~
t~
I saw the signs early, but Piscean~relativity chose to ignore, which is probably a good thing.
But, this time I was calm...
Just kept sending it off kindly and with love, without animosity and anger.
Then the next day...I was mopping, cleaning, and mopping...
And within 3 minutes time, there appeared this little stuffed animal I havn't seen in a while, placed on the floor, by the dog beds.
Ok, at this point I was amused.
Remaining calm...calm...calm....I lit a (prescribed) candle, saged the heck out of me and my house and, again sent it off with love...
Funny thing is, my 5 cats and 2 dogs NEVER react to these things that hang out here.
And, after a while, My b~loved soul mate cat, his name is Divi (Divinity) went and sat by the stuffed animal that was placed when I was not looking.
Again, amused..but forthright and armed for battle.
It is strange to me, well it should not be, that we, including on this forum are amazed by such, we are intrigued, but when it comes one's way...
everybody goes bye, bye?
The psychic/spiritual warrior(ess) often walks a path alone...
I got this~
Thank you for reading~

i hope things are going well!

I am still a bit pensive about calling it a "demon" tho this name comes to my head and I know it is a demonic name.
AND the scratches on my daughter, I was with her the whole time she didn't do it to herself.
And it does not present like true deominic activity: been researchng.
My cats and dogs are always a peace and that is the part that really confuses me.
And I never used to believe in demons, I always thought they were created in the minds of "Catholics" cause they seem to have the most problems with them, however I did incite it redaing scripture.
Whatever it is, it gets nothing but "whaat?" you funny thing, make me laugh some more, etc.
I defule whatever "it" is.
Funny it has always been here, and not necessarially "here" it has been around with our other house, but then as I always did until recently, pay it no mind.
Till I did a horrible thing one day and gave it what it wanted.
Anyway, Yea, I gotta get outta here, but I am having to give it up to something higher than me.
My daughter will have another repair for her heart in the next 2-3 months.
So, yea, keep on trying to sellin the house, while dealing with huge medical bills coming in, worrying about my kid being under anesthesia and being open to more otherworldly crap (you think the OR team would let me sage em all? lol )
But all I can do is all I can do.
