1. Challenge

Be willing to suffer and sacrifice What do you find humorous? Do you derive pleasure from the suffering of others? Watch yourself and see if you have this feeling. It may not be obvious, but if it is there you will find that it expresses itself in the impulse to laugh when somebody falls. You want those who are high to be pulled down; you criticize and gossip thoughtlessly about others.

Independence Day (The Great No)

Fight for inner liberty: Freedom from culture, nature and even your own identity.

The Great No is rejection of everything. It is test and trial. It is cracking the egg, throwing off the veil. It is a day for non-participation in corporate life, in mass media, in belief systems, in organizations – and especially in the subtle ways that we have integrated with views and motives that have been imposed from outside.

– No electronic media (Television, Internet, cell phones, etc.).
– No politics, entertainment, religion, nationalism.
– No materialism (Buying or selling).
– No artificial mood changes (Recorded music, alcohol or drugs, etc.)
– No small talk.

Question everything, especially publicly exhorted views and the narrative controlled by the powers that be. Go deeper. Question your identity, instincts, and beliefs. Resist all forms of external determinism, including biology, culture and ideology. Refuse to participate in anything that is false, illusory, idolatrous, trivial or degraded. Stop adulating leaders, especially celebrities and politicians? Do not glorify the tangential. Stop peer consciousness. Do not succumb to the pressure of the everyday.

How much are you willing to give up? Will you submit to inconvenience, suspense, uncertainty? How far do you want to go?

1. Challenge

When there is love the problem is simple. Otherwise, the problem is complex. When you reach the shore, keep going. Press onwards through unknown seas. Hunker down in the wild and forage in the deeps. Don’t disembark at the first truth. It is a truth, but only one pinnacle of truth, a single prominence rising up when the tide recedes. Premature understanding falsifies and slays the truth. Wait a while longer and more islets appear, and finally the base, from which all ascend. Dwelling there, cradling opposites, the primal elements become luminous and speak for themselves: the fruit of the wilds: healing embrace, unknowing of ignorance.

1. Challenge

Put the fair and good into your mind. How do we measure culture? “By how much spiritual substance there is in its everyday existence…We gauge culture by the extent to which a whole people, not only individuals, live in accordance with the dictates of an eternal doctrine or strive for spiritual integrity; the extent to which inwardness, compassion, justice and holiness are to be found in the daily life of the masses.” Abraham Heschel

Select a just vocation. Do not live with a vocation that is harmful to humans and nature. "This ingenious instrument of material exchange, money, has turned into the only means or the principal means of human communication…Money is the present-day name for the world of the human ego. Money dictates how we deal with everything – material, intellectual, and emotional things." Jacob Needleman
“There is not wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, and joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal, and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others.” John Ruskin

Stake your life on the existence of a transcendent reality. “By foregoing beauty for goodness, power for love, grief for gratitude, by entreating the Lord for help to understand our hopes, for strength to resist our fears, we may receive a gentle sense of the holiness permeating the air."

Relationship: Create a new Valentine’s Day

Let's create a new and better Valentine's Day. Fight the idealization of romantic love. Bring together two souls for the elaboration of the good. Defend the possibility of true friendship!

Valentine’s Day, Mother’s and Father’s Day champion a limited form of love. Don't cut yourself short. There is an even better kind of relationship.

Let’s find the core of the existing holidays: nurturing each other, helping each other, learning about each other. Alternative Valentine’s Day raises the possibility of true friendship, provides tools to deepen our relationship.

– Ask for depth in every relationship, at least a little.
– Look upon harm-doers with the eyes of a mother.
– Be faithful to all relationships and never give up on anyone.
– Support anyone who is sensitive to life.
– Learn to see all children as your own.
– Spending more than fifty percent of your time or energy on a personal relationship is a crime against humanity.

New Valentine’s Day presents the Visionary Friendship pledge, which is relationship without idolatry. Friendshape your friendships. Give your heart to humanity!

Look for the good in the other side. Do you vote? Why or why not?

Turn a political issue into a Quest

Are you fed up with politics, but still want to be involved in the issues of the day? Is government that recognizes heart and soul possible?

Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Turn a political issue into a Quest.

Does politics have to be adversarial? Are you worthy of democracy? What would it mean to develop exquisite sensitivity to the human condition of the community?

Do not vote for a second-rate way of life, even if it is the lesser of two evils. We have more power than we realize, if we build up in ourselves, during the course of our life, the courage of heart and soul. Of refusing to close our heart. Of defending ourself against despondency and bitterness. Of the tenderness and fearlessness that is needed to approach our foes. This is voting as it was meant to be.

It doesn’t matter which side is right. It doesn’t even matter if we find a solution. Instead, our goal must be to look courageously, with humility and goodwill. That is already transformative action. Visionary voting means developing our latent and suppressed capacity for perceiving and acting at the deepest possible level. It means engaging people to respond at precisely the level at which deficiency is being generated.

Turn a political issue into a Quest
Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Take it as an opportunity to transform the field on which opposing parties meet, so that they no longer meet in opposition. Reconstruct any hopeless political issue and make it Visionary. Select a political issue, and we will work together to turn it into Quest.
