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 our vulnerable feelings be felt - heard, held and comforted. We learn to become a loving friend to our Self - shining our awareness to reflect the deep wisdom of our emotional intelligence and our 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 Mind and the Minds of our families strong.

Receiving a Full Education in Human Connection

Standing up for our human rights is a shared responsibility built on the solid foundations of knowing what we all deserve.

What we want for our Self we should always want for others, without exception. It is a fundamental principle of natural law.

Having the skills to know how to nurture a sense of identity to feel our belonging 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 in their Heart.

No where in the Australian Constitution is there a place, a space or a voice that teaches, guides and supports human connection and the depth of its meaning for a balanced Mind and sustained wellbeing.

Legally 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.

It takes bold courage to be the change. 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.

With an education built around a 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. And with that, we can redefine our laws, and help strengthen the mechanisms that create the foundations of 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.
