https://www.inc23.us/event It is time to move beyond adversarial, partisan politics.
Along with the Opening Prayer, my Keynote will focus on critical elements of the foundation documents of the Union of the Condor, Hummingbird, Quetzal, and Eagle and our Indigenous and US Special Forces Veteran's Sacred Covenant.
Along with our 16 Principles for Building a Sustainable, Harmonious, and Prosperous World, especially pertinent to help transcend adversarial, partisan politics, are our Principles of Consultation.
UNION OF THE CONDOR, HUMMINGBIRD QUETZAL, AND EAGLE and INDIGENOUS AND US SPECIAL FORCES SACRED COVENANT
PRINCIPLES OF CONSULTATION
Purpose
Create commitment, trust, and unity among all members of the Union and Covenant.
.
Identify opportunities and solve problems.
Determine the best course of action forward.
.
Ten Principles for Success:
1) Respect each Union and Covenant Member and appreciate each other's diversity. This is the prime requisite for consultation.
2)Value and consider all contributions. Belittle none. Withhold evaluation until sufficient information has been gathered.
3)Contribute and express opinions with complete freedom.
4) Carefully consider the views of others --- if a valid point of view has been offered, accept it as your own.
5) Keep to the mission at hand. An extraneous conversation may be necessary to team building, but it is not consultation, which is solution-driven.
6) Share in the Union's and Covenant's unified purpose --- desire for the success of the Vision.
7) Expect the truth, with love and compassion, to emerge from the clash of differing opinions. Optimum solutions emerge from a diversity of views.
8) Once stated, let go of opinions. Don't try to "defend" your position, but let it go. Ownership causes disharmony in the circle and almost always gets in the way of finding the truth.
9) Contribute to maintaining a friendly atmosphere by speaking with courtesy, dignity, care, and moderation. This will promote unity and Openness.
10) Seek consensus. But if consensus is impossible, let the majority rule. Remember, though, that decisions, once made, become the decision of every participant.
After the Union and Covenant members have decided, dissenting opinions destroy the mission's success.
When decisions are undertaken with total Union and Covenant support, wrong choices can be more fully observed and corrected.
We will be providing 250 free tickets for Native Americans to be sure our voices are included in a unity and healing movement that transcends adversarial, partisan politics based on justice for every member of our Human Family!
