Thank you Annette for writing and sharing your creed. I'm not sure I'll write my creed, maybe. I sorta want to just cut and paste yours, or at least parts of it. I love what you've written. Jeanne would love this.

You're welcome to cut and paste mine Roxanne. Use as much of it as calls to you and then add whatever else feels right to you. It's a work in progress. I dedicated it to Jeanne, so thanks for that.

Thank you for your Creed as you move forward. Each tenet gives me food for thought as I come out of covid and determine my values as I walk in this spiraling world -then determine the WHAT, WHEN ,WHERE, AND HOW of it ALL. Thank for some guideposts.

These basic tenets are so sensible and honorable, I'm scratching my head wondering how they are not already the basic guardrails of all societies worldwide. Thank you, Annette.

I agree, Troy. Regrettably, they are not. Thanks for restacking.

Beautiful, Annette. This particular post is worthy than just four re-stacks...well, make that 5 with mine. Ha, ha, ha! Of all the things in the world that could go viral, I hope and pray and wish for divine intervention to somehow send what you've written here out to the masses. Not just to the masses, but also to the people who can make some of these creeds fall into action. Not just restricted here on sub stack.

I feel every single word you've written. and you are quite right... in so many parts of the world, including the USA, all identities of humans are literally starving, freezing, de-hydrating or wasting away to death from untreated medical / mental health conditions. Here in the Philippines, where I've become an exile from my own country because I couldn't get help from my own government for my mental health challenges, toxic relationship and also transgender hate (yes, that does happen in the UK. It's not the bastion of civil liberties that everybody reckons it is!) we face natural disasters every month. We are one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world.

Personally I've been through countless super-typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, survived tropical diseases and covid eight times, death threats from inside the UK, eaten out of the trash in order to survive....Yet I have to say, despite wishing it hadn't been that way, I've learnt so much about myself and so much growth from having to go through these experiences on my own in a foreign country. In every situation, good or bad, there is an opportunity for growth and learning and evolution for the entire planet. Don't ask me to explain this.

It just seems to be the law of this particular universe. I do believe, though, that we are being fortified in order to seek a higher evolution and to achieve some of the creeds that you mentioned here. Without being strengthened by these adverse situations, we would not have the capability nor the vibrational frequency in order to reach this place. We just trust the process. Everybody needs to follow their own magnetic North⭐😎

I’ve been struggling with my own personal response and this is a wonderful guide. I’ve shared the post with several friends. I think they will find it powerful and useful as well.
