Declaration of Interdependence
(The Creed )
by Dan P. Davison
This day and in all coming days, I choose to fill my mind with love, power and a strong, sound, balanced attitude. I choose not to accept fear thoughts into my mind or direct my fears toward others.
I will be intimate with Creation, God or my Higher Power in relation to my feelings, mind, body and spirit. I will love all of my being and demonstrate the same consideration to all humanity, regardless of their past, lifestyle, values, position in life, or any view which they regard important to their own being.
I grant all humanity the liberty to live as they wish unless I believe their actions to be based on fear and are destructive to themselves or others. In this case, I will protect myself and move away from their needy and destructive behavior, but I will not look upon them with condemnation. I will be strong and willing to aid them when they choose to seek new direction, heal, live in love and harmony with others.
In all relationships which I may have in my life, I will continually put in more than I take out . My relationships consist of intimacy with Creation, myself, a partner, a family and community, and with ecology and economy. In each case, I will joint venture with the other and must give with no thought of return. My relationships will be with individuals, and with situations where the same principles are embraced and mutual respect and love is demonstrated. I neither wish to dominate or be doninated. I seek freedom and I take total responsibility for my life.
As to my purpose for being on this planet, I am equal to every other individual, with no purpose being more elevated or important than another. I will not tolerate any form of prejudice or attitudes of superiority that I encounter. Not only will I embrace this principle with my mouth, but I will closely monitor my heart for such attitudes of fear, lack of understanding, intolerance and prejudice which cause poverty, sickness, abuse and division.
I understand and support the principle that every other human being on the planet earth is engaged in a walk similar to mine and they battle fear and seek love as I do. I am no better or no lessor a person than any human who has breath and life. As I sit at the banquet and celebration of life, I will continually feed the person who sits opposite me with all the generosity that I can, regardless of who that individual is and what values they cherish.
I embrace the hope of a time on earth where ALL fear is gone. I choose to allow perfect, unconditional love to saturate my life. I give this same unconditional love to all people, and will include those who appear to be unlovable or lack value.
I will start toward this worthy goal today. I will seek out other people who will join with me in reviewing the truths and views of this document, in accordance with their own free values, and make a passionate commitment to implement them in all aspects of our lives, regardless of the cost or sacrifice. I will seek out those individuals who I do not understand or that I fear, and make a dedicated, conscious effort to see life from their point of view, even though I may not agree.
I will love unconditionally with no expectations. I will anticipate the power of unlimited creativity in my life and embrace miracles and gifts given to me without seeking to contain the good that comes to me. I will allow the infinite Source of Love to bring visions, dreams, wisdom and resources to me for the purpose of healing humanity and the earth.
By embracing these truths and sharing them with others, all members of the human race will be reached and healed in a matter of a few short years. We will launch this new Millennium seeking a world which boasts an absolute absence of fear and an absolute atmosphere of love. Today I will choose to Love. Firstly, I will love my God, Creation or Higher Power; secondly myself, and equally, my fellow human beings. In this, I will experience total health, happiness and prosperity, and all aspects of completeness within myself. I will be complete in every way.
In reading this Declaration, and internalizing it in my mind and heart, I lift all of humanity to a new level or peace. I am neither dependent or independent - - - but instead INTERDEPENDENT. There is not another soul on the face of this planet who is dispensable or worthless. They are part of me and I part of them. I will act accordingly.
This is the mind of the Universe, and indeed all great Masters, my elder brothers and teachers, with whom I am joint heir to all of the love and good that exists in this universe. I will celebrate my position and relationship to all good that is available to me today. I bless God, I bless you and I bless myself. Herein lies all the power of the Universe.
