• For the purpose of having the most inclusive and expansive frame to increase play, creativity, prosperity and purpose, and to have the experience of relational and emotional freedom
• Realizing the integration of prosperity [capitalism] and purpose [spirituality] is not only possible, it is necessary at this point in history
• We do this though the conscious/intentional evolution of ourselves and each other in each domain we choose  [from corporate to alternative sexual relating] in formats and forums ranging from audio and video products to live interactive forums

• Our consciousness [and everything else] evolves in stages
• Each stage transcends, yet includes the former; each stage of development is more inclusive and more whole-sum than the previous stage
• We interpret through--and react emotionally from--our evolutionary stage
• The core evolutionary vertical is the ego/emotions vertical—how we relate to ourselves and how we relate to the events in our lives
• Evidence of and the essence of Evolution is the ability to take on an ever-increasing number of perspectives. This results in flexibility of perception and position as well as empathy and connection—and eventually emotional freedom
• As a community it is our DUTY to update our interpretations of another--and irresponsible to base our assessments on any single event or "snapshot".
• It is never the thing itself that is the problem—rather it is our relationship to it
• We evolve by letting go of the comforts of our previous limitations in thinking and expanding our embrace and acceptance of what is arising moment to moment.
  
  • This must be done at a slightly challenging pace—if we apply too much pressure we get regression rather than evolution [use jigsaw puzzle metaphor]
• We do not experience reality--rather we experience our experience of reality. That indirect experience has structure. That structure is made up of the component parts of our internal representations; VAKogLT [pictures, sounds, feelings, smells, tastes, language and time].

[to increase play and freedom for others and maximize evolution for ourselves
and therefore collectively, the planet]

• Taking all of the above as given, we are therefore all responsible for our own emotional reactions and experiences and all of the events in our lives whether consciously chosen or not
• At the same time, we are responsible for our predicable emotional impact on others [while they are responsible for their reactions but that is for them to apply, not you].
• Always look at your part in things and how you are responsible and leave the self-reflection of others to them unless you are requested to operate in that capacity [coaching/reflection] or you have gained permission explicitly in each such interaction
• Tell the truth of your experience [sharing the emotional impact at times]; tell it responsibly [it is your experience, not objective reality].
• Hear the truth responsibly; thank the teller for what it took to tell you the truth [it is often uncomfortable for people] and consider it valuable feedback especially if you disagree
• Upset has four major sources:
  • An unresolved event form the past [a similar situation or a similar person]
  • A self-esteem or ego-development deficiency 
  • A violated boundary/broken agreement
  • A violated expectation or “should” if not then?:
    • Explore them in that order

• Hold people accountable only to agreements they have explicitly made. There is no given consensus or shared cultural reality in the global marketplace
• We accept that our leaders are also evolving—and that they are not perfect nor do they claim to be.  However, they are expected to acknowledge it and take responsibility rapidly if they act out of alignment with the organizing Principles

• The conscious practices for some emotional patterns:
• Anger: anger requires blame. The antidote to blame is responsibility. When you feel angry or violated in some way, ask yourself: “How am I responsible?” What part did you play?  Other good questions to ask yourself: “where have I done that in the past?”
• Shame, hopelessness, despair: Unpack the Chain of Meaning™
• Despair pr depression: extend and brighten/illuminate your time line
• Sadness: acceptance of the gifts of the past, and acceptance and focus on what was missing, with an eye toward finding that in the future, as well as asking yourself what you need to learn to release the sadness--what gift is there?
