Commitments

"I commit myself to self-responsibility. I commit myself to not indulging in smallness in any way, including not indulging in shame, isolation, blaming, self-hatred, cynicism, helplessness, or despair. I commit myself to Truth, to being aware of and transforming any beliefs, intentions, and actions that reflect and support the illusory small self instead of that which I truly am. I commit myself to experiencing and sharing the Light and Truth with myself and to helping others experience and bring forth the Light and Truth within within themselves. I commit myself to being in community with others, knowing that separateness is an illusion and that love is what we are."
