The No-Plan Plan

  1. Be creative. Create options. Become a cause point in your life and the lives of the people you know and love. Learn how to convert effects into new causes or points of growth. Everything needed is already present. Use it. Define growth in potential, not limitations.
  2. Gather around you people who project their energy outwards, who share and understand your values.
  3. Everybody's journey is different to yours. You will share parts of your journey with many people. Be open to everyone. But mostly be open to yourself.
  4. Connect deeply with the people you are attracted towards. Tell them you like and love them, either in words or other appropriate ways. Be sure to leave some growing space. You don't own them, they don't own you. You will all journey onwards.
  5. Use gentleness and love as your primary tools in life for building and repairing all you have created and become involved with.
  6. Be gentle with yourself and you can be gentle with others. No one is perfect. We are all struggling to make life work. Gentleness starts with acceptance. Acceptance is hard.
  7. Understand the enormous power of agreement. Observe its many misuses and practice its proper use wisely. Be tolerant, agreement takes time and effort to uncover its true power.
  8. Live your dreams. We all have them. Help others uncover their dreams, they will help you uncloak yours. Nothing happens without a dream, it is the fabric of the cloth of life.
  9. Help others to live their dreams, being a positive part of their journey enriches life. Make space for people in your own dreams, journeying with you enriches their lives.
  10. Have goals. Be careful to only work on goals that fulfill aspects of your dream.
  11. Work to a very short term plan. Keep your goals simple and the plan will work.
  12. Be flexible in your goals and plans. Review them often against your dream.
  13. Have fun. Make sure fun is an integral part of your dream, it is the cream on the cake.
  14. Recognize that people are essentially spiritual beings with bodies, not simply bodies with transient spiritual thoughts. With this insight adjust your responses to everyone you meet accordingly. Observe the growth in energy and insight this creates, even in small matters.
  15. Don't be afraid. Fear is the little death in life, robbing it of meaning and enjoyment.
  16. Address fear wherever you encounter it with love and gentleness and all will be well.
  17. Understand all your problems have been created, created by you and no other. They do not exist without you. They can be changed by you and only by you. Be aware of the processes of enturbulation and only commit yourself to problems which are truly yours in origin. Use enturbulation as a positive force in your life for creating change that may otherwise pass you by.
  18. Commit to people, life, yourself and the process of living. While committing understand and accept that commitment comes in many forms and may also be tainted by fear, need, greed, ignorance and context. Look into your own life to see this at work.
  19. Actively avoid using violence to gain any ends. It always backfires and destroys all it has brought into being. Learn to accept your own potential for violent behavior in many forms. Practice channeling destructive energy into creative forms. Use gentleness and love to mould the basis of new agreements and creative solutions. Violence is the energy of ignorance in action. Accept that sometimes the dragon wins, the approach is not wrong.
  20. Start small and grow slowly in everything you undertake. Good things take time to blossom. During the constant process of living we often feel stuck, frightened, at a loss, bewildered or at a dead-end. Whenever this happens go back to point one.
