The 13 Principles of Self-Perfected
These are the principles that guide everything we do at Self Perfected Minnesota – and across the global Self-Perfected community. These are commitments we made to ourselves, and we hold each other to them.
Jessica and Mitchell built their relationship on these as a living agreement.
Principle 1 is the foundation. Everything else builds from there.
1. The Principle of What is Best for All
Guiding myself in thought, word and deed to always, in all ways, direct all things to the best possible outcome for all.
This means taking into consideration the effects of my thoughts, words and deeds on the world around me — people, plants, animals, environment — and ensuring that what I live honours the best potential of myself and all of life on Earth, to the best of my ability. It means standing unconditionally in the shoes of all people and all things, and being able to at the end of the day say that I have fully considered all within the context of creating the best possible outcome for everyone and everything.
2. The Principle of Self-Honesty
Reflecting on myself and seeing every part of me — the good, bad, and ugly — without bias or judgment so that I can take responsibility to change that which I no longer accept and allow.
3. The Principle of Self-Perfection Through Self-Creation
Self-Perfection is the process of reflecting on and investigating myself through writing, releasing myself from the past through Self-Forgiveness, and changing myself through Self-Application and living change. These tools allow me to develop a deep intimacy with myself, enabling me to see the workings of who I am, how I came to be this way, and how to create myself into the best possible expression of myself that I can be.
4. The Principle of Investigate All Things and Keep What Is Good
I unconditionally investigate, consider, and introspect all aspects, expressions, perspectives, and avenues of life and assess what can practically be applied within the Principle of What is Best for All.
5. The Principle of Self-Responsibility
Living and applying my ability to respond within the realization that I alone am responsible for what I accept and allow inside myself, my relationships, and my outside world. Only I have the power and ability to change that which is compromising who I am, what I live, and how this affects others.
6. The Principle of Self-Awareness
An active reflection and seeing of what is happening inside myself — my thoughts, emotions, feelings, reactions — and understanding that I am at all times responsible for what I accept and allow and what I participate in and thus give my power and attention to.
7. The Principle of Give as You Would Like to Receive
Considering the context and the lives of each individual being. Considering, regarding, and supporting them in the way that I would have liked to be considered, regarded, and supported had I been in their place and lived their life.
8. The Principle of Self-Trust
No matter what hardships, failures, and mistakes I may face, I always come back to myself and the principles that I stand as. I will not give up or allow myself to blame others for the circumstances of my life or how I choose to live it. I take absolute self-responsibility.
9. The Principle of Making Love Real
Nurturing and honouring the utmost potential in every individual, including myself, wherein love is not a feeling or emotion but an action that is lived by doing whatever is necessary to support without compromising myself or the other.
10. Honouring Life in All Forms
I expand my awareness and responsibility to consider and create the best possible life for everyone and everything from the large to the small.
11. The Principle of Relationships as Agreements
Individuals coming together to support the manifestation of the best possible versions of ourselves and each other. Nurturing each other’s potential and supporting one another to transform weaknesses into strengths.
12. The Principle of Visibly Living the Principles
Actively living the proof of what can be accomplished when individuals live their potential by ensuring that these principles come through in all that I do, in all areas of my life.
13. My Physical Body is My Temple
I honour and support my physical body as an expression of me. I nurture it and care for it in order to ensure my best possible expression in this life. I take into consideration the impact of thoughts and emotions on the physical body and within this I commit myself to practice self-awareness and self-care.
Living the Principles
The people in our community use these principles as a daily practice – in parenting, in relationships, in business, in how we raise our kids and treat the land we live on.
