We (the founders) wish this Forum to model what we want to see in our nation and world... an experiment in participatory democracy built on the highest laws of the universe.	Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. -Albert Einstein
	We intend to co-create a Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Responsibilities as a model and proposal for our nation and world
Rights and privileges will be earned (i.e. not automatically granted)
"Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices" -Benjamin Franklin	We will model values and behaviors that rise above commonly used poisons of blame, avoidance, self-pity, etc... replaced with forgiveness, tolerance, compassion, and more
Influencing others will be done by example rather than preaching and manipulating	"We must be the change we wish to see" -Mahatma Ghandi
	Highest good for ALL is our creed... reaching "outside the box" for unlimited abundance wisdom and responsibility
Confronting "evils" is our hallmark... especially those within
"Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you" -Jesus	Loving enemies is our foundation... including the courage to lovingly confront
Dreaming and believing are our tools... seeking magic and miracles feeling wonder and awe	"If you can dream it, you can do it" -Walt Disney
"To win, you have to risk loss" -Jean Claude Killy	Opening to new paradigms is our standard... taking chances on being hurt
Being grateful is our blessing... to others ourselves and God	"There is no drug on Earth that can match the healing power of gratitude, forgiveness, and making amends" -Great Spirit

 

If this feels "home" to you
then open we our arms
But be truly aware
that much is required

If you wish to change
this being called Earth
power you will find here
if you're willing to work

If you WILL confront
the enemy within
then we are your kinfolk
as we make our amends

Yes, we are choosing
a path filled with falls
but rise up each time again
seeking new calls

There may be ridicule
from those you've loved most
for we plan to experiment
with a very new host

No "bandaids" or "fixes"
will do on this quest
It's time for REal-NEW-ALL
leaving nothing to rest

If this be your dream
then join yours to ours
We dance forth to new life
We open all doors
