We follow our hearts and intuition and abide by the following:
Butterfly Co-creator's Agreements
To offer practical guidelines for how to begin the transformation, I invite
you to accept the Co-Creators' Agreements from "The Rings of Empowerment,"
edited by Global Family's Carolyn Anderson, based on the writings of Barbara Marx
Hubbard and Marian Head:
1. Commit to the Mission
Our mission is to liberate ourselves and all humanity to realize our full
potential. I agree to use this mission as a guide for my actions.
2. Communicate with Integrity
I agree to tell my truth, with compassion for myself and others.
3. Listen with your heart
I agree to listen respectfully to the communicating of others and attune to
their deepest meaning.
4. Honor one another
I agree to honor each person's process, acknowledging that everyone,
including myself, is making the best possible choice or decision we are capable of at
that moment of choice or decision.
5. Appreciate your contributions
I agree to take responsibility for getting acknowledged.
6. Express appreciation for others' contributions
I agree to acknowledge others.
7. Honor our differences
I agree to come from a sense of cooperation and caring in my interactions
with others, and from an understanding that goals are often the same even though
methods for achieving them may differ.
8. Use grievances as opportunities to evolve self
I agree to look for the unresolved issues within me that creates a reaction
to another's behavior.
9. Maintain resonance
I agree to take the time to establish rapport and then to reconnect with
anyone with whom I feel out of harmony as soon as it's appropriate.
10. Resolve problems constructively
I agree to offer at least one solution any time
I present a problem.
I agree to take problems, complaints and upsets to the person(s) with whom
I can resolve them, at the earliest opportunity. I agree not to criticize or
complain to someone who cannot do something about my complaint, and I will
redirect others to do the same.
11. Go for excellence
I agree to support others and to be supported in participating at the highest
level of excellence.
12. Learn from experience
I agree to look for the opportunity to learn from my experiences, to continue
doing what works, and discontinue doing what does not work.
13. Be a leader
I agree to foster an environment of genuine collaboration in which all
people, including myself, feel empowered to express our individual and collective
potential.
14. Reevaluate your commitment
I agree to choose and re-choose to participate in my core group. It's my
choice.
15. Lighten UP!
I agree to create joy in my relationships, my work and my life.
We also play the by the following rules.
Best Game on Earth by Norie Huddle
Consider that life is a game which we play by rules, working toward goals.
The immediate playing field is the planet Earth. As we have been playing the
"life game" so far, our goals and rules are not usually stated consciously--and,
indeed, they often conflict with the goals and rules of other people. The
result is confusion and conflict--and wasted time and resources.
Consider that if we consciously agree on a few basic goals and rules, we can
introduce a new "life game" which is much more enjoyable and effective for
everyone.
Consider that each of us has gifts which we want to contribute, and that we
can do together what none of us can do alone. And that by cooperating, we can
multiply the wealth and be more fruitful in our efforts. By cooperating we can
be better stewards of Earth.
Consider that telling the story of how we are doing it, and inviting
participation from those who hear and see the story being told is one of the most
natural ways to spread the "fire"....which will, indeed, end the world as we have
known it.
And consider that we call this "The Best Game on Earth."
The goal of The Best Game on Earth:
To create peace, health, prosperity and justice universally on Earth by the
year 2012.
The rules of The Game
-Speak the truth.
-Acknowledge the truth when others speak it.
-Come from love and respect.
-Leave the trail better than you found it.
-Expect miracles.
-Do what gives you joy and create joy in what you do.
-Be generous with who you are and what you have.
-Be a good friend and teammate.
-Clean up your messes, learn the lessons and move on.
-If you have an idea for how to improve The Game, share it!
Throughout history, in every part of the world, there have been people who in
some fashion have played The Game--but have not known they were playing it.
Today, too, many people and groups are playing The Game, at least to some
degree, but most of us haven't known it. By naming The Game, agreeing upon new
guidelines for working together, and consciously focusing on achieving a positive
set of goals within a clear time frame, we will all benefit.
In one sense, it is time for a "global show-and-tell" about who is doing what
and about what needs to get done. Imagine for a moment that we are sitting
around a global campfire telling the stories of how we are engaging in healing
the Earth. This time, it is the "cool campfire" of television, and we are
sharing our work--our "love-in-action"--with other brothers and sisters in our
global village.
By pooling our collective wisdom, knowledge, expertise and talent, we will
progress more quickly toward the goal--and make the process more enjoyable for
all of us. Television, telephones, radio, print media, computer networks,
short-wave radio, fax machines....we will use all of these tools and more for
expressing the Good News of how our Global Family finally is coming together in the
twilight years of the 20th century to heal ourselves and the Earth....
Consider that in this Great Gathering, each one of us has a piece of the
puzzle--and that in putting the pieces together, we will discover the larger
patterns of meaning. That when the larger patterns have become clear, together we
can discover our next steps forward.
Consider that each one of us is critically needed to complete The Whole. And
that we are all here to serve a greater purpose.
To begin playing The Game, carefully examine the goal and the rules. Do these
make sense to you? Which ones are already second nature to you? Are there
areas you feel you need to strengthen? What kinds of activities are you engaged
in within your family or out in your community--local, national, global--which
further the goals of the Game? Are you letting your light shine, putting out
positive images into our collective "global mind"? And, how can we best invite
collaboration from others who dream the same dreams? How can we organize
ourselves most effectively so that all the necessary things are taken care of? How
can we best celebrate our successes and build on them?
You and your actions are critical to the success of The Game. Thank you for
playing your part!
We also follow this practice of the Dalai Lama:
1. Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the
same things, to be happy and be loved, and we are all connected to one another.
2. Spend 5 minutes -- breathing in - cherishing yourself; and, breathing out
- cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing,
extend your cherishing to them anyway.
3. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice
cherishing the "simplest" person (clerks, attendants, etc.), as well as the
"important" people in your life; cherish the people you love and the people you dislike.
4. Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.
These thoughts are very simple, inspiring and helpful. The practice of
cherishing can be taken very deep if done wordlessly, allowing yourself to feel the
love and appreciation that already exists in your heart.
Can we say that our relationship has emulated these practices?
More on the Butterfly
Alan Moore and author Norie Huddle, are focusing on how to play what Norie
calls The Best Game on Earth. http://www.bestgame.org/1.html ">
www.bestgame.org/1.html The cover of Butterfly (Huddle Books) states that
historian Arnold Toynbee observed that the 21 civilizations he studied all collapsed
for the same reason: their inability to adapt to changes taking place either
within them or surrounding them. Like Joseph Campbell, Toynbee noted the
importance of myth in shaping the future of a civilization. For from the myth
springs the vision of new possibilities. Each nation, each culture tells such an
overarching story about itself. But when great changes take place, a new myth
is required. Butterfly is the myth for our times. It was published on Earth
Day 1990 as a tale of great transformation to help usher in the "Butterfly
Era" of global civilization. This butterfly theme was featured in the June 2000
edition of Noetic Science Magazine. Please see

In Butterfly, Norie states:
The caterpillars new cells are called "imaginal cell." They resonate at a
different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells
that his immune system thinks they are enemies...and gobbles them up--Chomp!
Gulp! But these new imaginal cells continue to appear. More and more of them!
Pretty soon, the caterpillar's immune system cannot destroy them fast enough.
More and more of the imaginal cells survive. And then an amazing thing happens!
The little tiny lonely imaginal cells start to clump together, into friendly
little groups. They all resonate together at the same frequency, passing
information from one to another. Then, after a while, another amazing thing happens!
The clumps of imaginal cells start to cluster together!....A long string of
clumping and clustering imaginal cell, all resonating at the same frequency, all
passing information from one to another there inside the chrysalis.
A wave of Good News travels throughout the system-- Lurches and heaves...but
not yet a butterfly.
Then at some point, the entire long string of imaginal cells suddenly
realizes all together that it is Something Different from the caterpillar. Something
New! Something Wonderfull!....and in that realization is the shout of the
birth of the butterfly!
Happy Birthday Butterfly!!!
Since the butterfly now "knows" that it is a butterfly, the little tiny
imaginal cells no longer have to do all those things individual cells must do. Now
they are part of a mult-celled organism-- A FAMILY who can share the work.
Each new butterfly cell can take on a different job.----There is something
for everyone to do. And everyone is important. And each cell begins to do just
that very thing it is most drawn to do. And every other cell encourages it to
do just that.
A great way to organize a butterfly!
And a great way to organize a butterfly movement!
Let's clump and cluster together!!!
Norie's idea was featured in the Institute of Noetic Science Magazine - IONS
- Issue 52, June - August 2000 in an article entitled What the Butterfly
Knows/Wired for wings. Please visit

In Barbara Marx Hubbard's book, Conscious Evolution, she states:
As people started waking up, they became imaginal disks in the body of
society. The environmental movement, the antiwar movement, the Apollo space program,
the women's movement, the civil rights and human rights movements, new music,
transcendental meditation, yoga, and mind-expanding substances all encouraged
a young generation to act as instruments of social change--striving to birth
the still-invisible societal butterfly. And often when new leaders did step
forward, they were attacked by society's immune system fighting to maintain the
old social order of the caterpillar: witness the assassinations of Ghandi,
John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
I think this is closer to the Tao than any other philosophy I know. I have
been telling people from the beginning that the butterflies are Taoists, having
never read the Tao de Ching. In December 1997 at the Earth Rainbow Network's
first meeting, I met a gentleman and told him many of my stories, and for each
one he showed me its counterpart in the Tao. He was somewhat of an expert in
the Tao and that experience was my first real confirmation that my notion was
right all along. You can't explain the mystery in words, you have to
experience it.
Now order is emerging out of chaos just as the butterfly emerges from the
chrysalis. Chaordic science tells us that when the pieces of the puzzle come
together there will be a new synergy greater than the sum of the parts, and a new
unpredictability. It was this energy and what appeared as unpredicability
that had some people concerned about me. Believe me, I had a formidable task to
deal with. Fritjov Capra was amused when I told him it would be ironic if a
butterfly group gets to prove the "butterfly effect", which he discusses in his
book, The Web of Life. Last Friday he called, offered a grant that I could
apply for through his Center for Ecoliteracy, and wants to meet over coffee the
first week of March. He told me, "Your project sounds very impressive and would
be a good candidate(for a grant)."
There are butterfly people, emerged and now emerging, all over the world.
They are the imaginals that Norie Huddle, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and others are
talking about. All that is needed is the acknowledgement that this is all really
happening.
