Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 The idea here is -- just scan these points, and check the ones that you feel comfortable with. If something doesn't feel right, or seems foreign to you, or not your style -- just skip it. In the context of my spiritual relationship with other people (in forums informal or formal): 1. [input] I will listen to understand, not to agree with or believe. 2. [input] I will ask clarifying questions if I do not understand. 3. [input] I will honor the presence of other people and listen carefully to what they say. 4. [input] I agree to be honest, truthful and open, within the limits of confidentiality and discretion. 5. [input] I agree to speak from my own personal experience and not merely of what I have read or been told. 6. [input] I will see and experience the divine presence and energy in other people. 7. [input] I will speak for myself and not presume to speak for others. 8. [input] I agree that all seemingly divergent paths finally lead to God. 9. [input] I will respect every person and apologize for any offense. 10. [input] (Hindu Namaste) The divine presence in me honors the divine presence in you, and we are one. 11. [input] (Mystical Body of Christ) Christ in me is one with Christ in you. 12. [input] I agree to ignore social status. Everyone is an equal partner in the discussion. 13. [input] I agree to allow one person to speak at a time, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity. 14. [input] Divine Love requires nothing in return. I pledge the Divine Love in me for the Divine Being in you. 15. [input] I will listen in silence and speak in a non judgmental way. 16. [input] To insure that I am sensitive to what is actually said, I agree to listen without judgment.. 17. [input] When I am listening, I agree to suspend assumptions and listen accurately. 18. [input] I will seek to know the divine will, and surrender to it. 19. [input] I agree to honor confidentiality. What is told to me in confidence will remain private. 20. [input] I will respect the divine presence in other people even if I disagree with their ideas. 21. [input] I agree to honor silence and time for reflection.
