We create
We hold We nurture We transform
Each person on this Earth holds a unique experience and perspective of life. Each of these perspectives is valuable-each is a piece giving form, beauty, and richness to the mosaic of humanity. Embracing all of these pieces is essential for us to assemble humanity's future in the noblest sense. Until this day, some pieces of this mosaic have been de-emphasized or overlooked. As non-male inhabitants of this Earth, each of us holds in our bodies and minds an essential piece to this mosaic. We are requesting all holders of this innate wisdom to claim their natural place, to boldly step forth and contribute their piece to humanity.
Our world is a wonderful place, built upon a balance of human principles inherited from more primitive times. During primitive times, the male principle prevailed: it stood for immediacy, hierarchy, precision, and dominance. Fearlessly the male principle protected and advanced the human culture and stood as the main factor in creating what that culture is today.
But there is another principle: the principle that is not male. If we refer to this principle as "female" or "woman," we begin to define and limit it in terms of the male principle. In truth, neither principle should be defined in terms of the other-each is equally unique, interdependent, and powerful. Within each non-male person on this Earth resides the unique essence of this principle. We experience the essence of this principle as Jness™. As a person who holds this principle intrinsically, we invite you to nurture and experience it more deeply and help bring it to the world.
If we, the human race, are to come into a new age, it will be necessary for the old balance of principles to change.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
