Principles are like Angels – they are always ready to inspire us to live with more energy, enthusiasm, and clarity. Our challenge is to establish and maintain our relationship to them.
1. PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE
If each human life is precious, we could dedicate our efforts to ourselves, and perhaps honor one human life. Conversely, we could dedicate our efforts to others, and perhaps honor countless billions of lives.
2. IMMINENT DEATH
We may go at any time. May we truly take advantage of our precious human lives — and maximize our evolutionary potential.
3. CAUSE + EFFECT
Everything that manifests, whether gross or subtle, does so as a result of related causes and conditions. If we want to make changes to our experiences, we must do so at the causal level.
4. REALISTIC VIEW
Everyone and everything else is the origin of our sense of self. Were we to view our human experience this way, every moment would be meaningful.
5. BODY, SPEECH, MIND
The quality of our lives deepens not through outer acquisition, but through the cultivation of body, speech, and mind.
6. EVOLUTIONARY TRAJECTORY
Wherever we are, we have come from somewhere — and are on our way to somewhere else. Are we traveling on a flat line, or are we evolving to a more inclusive perspective?
7. ENGINEERING SPACIOUSNESS
The more skillful we become at decluttering our inner and outer spaces, the more capable we become of maximizing our evolutionary potential.
