The New AmazoNation Creed

Heyla, Heyla, Amazon Sisters...I have a few words for you.

may our hearts be open.

The Amazon Nation must be steward of the Earth;
Caretaker for all that dwells upon it;
To be of one heart with all things.
the rocks, our bones;
The rivers are the blood of our veins.

Respect is for all, but it doesn't come easy.  We must each define it
for ourselves.  For us...

Respect means no interruption, no confrontation, no accusation
Respect means no "mocking" of leaders, warriors; spiritual leaders,
elders.
Respect means no lies between us.
Respect means no betrayal of confidence.
Respect means no "ripping off", no hoarding of gifts and talents,
no "Lording it over" someone who is at the start of their quest.
Respect means no ordering around, no yelling in anger, no bad
language, no name calling.
Respect means controlling yourself.
Respect is not a commodity.  It is a way of being.

Respect is in our chest not in our hand.
Respect is for all of life.
Respect is for every species in the world, including all four races.
Respect is for all our relations, and all our relationships.
Respect is focusing on and dealing in "issues" and not "personalisms".
Respect is focusing on "what" is right rather than "who" is right'
Respect means ouning our own negativity and not being a "Blame
Shifter".  A "Blame Shifter" is one who projects or shifts her own
negativity onto someone else.  This is the process of bigotry, war,
and genocide.
Respect is keeping the lines of communication open with those
who have a different opinion, and making a sincere attempt to
let them be understood.
Respect means listening until everyone has been heard and
understood, only then is there a possibility for "Balance and
Harmony" ...the goal of Amazon spirituality.
