12 Steps For US Exceptionalism

12 Steps For Political Recovery

We admitted we were powerless over the inhuman organizational forces of corporate and public bureaucracy, and its inherent inability to manage resources and people for the benefit of and continuation of life on planet earth, and that our social constructions have become machines unmanageable for the fulfillment of natural and human potential.

We came to believe that a power greater than any one religion, any economic system, our own nationalism, and separate from any one church, corporation, or nation(s), could restore us from the insanity of greed and arrogance, and lead us to sustainable long term peaceful relations with each other and the planet.

Made a decision to turn our wills and our fortunes over to a power greater than ourselves and to serving the interests of humanity and the planet.

Made a searching and fearless moral assessment of our political, social, economic, environmental, and historical wrongs.

Admitted to Our Higher Power, ourselves, and the whole world the exact nature of our collective corporate, institutional, governmental and national wrongs.

Were open to spiritual, social and economic re-assessment, and ready to have Our Higher Power remove our national, corporate, institutional, and personal defects of character.

Humbly asked Our Higher Power to remove all our blockages to being human beings and invited the world together to plan the way for all to reach their highest human potential in harmony with each other and the natural world.

Made a list of all the nations and peoples, ecosystems and species, we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

Made direct amends to such nations, peoples, and environments, in ways that are to be determined by those harmed.

Continued to take historical, social, economic, and political inventory in every situation affecting the environment other species and human beings and set wrongs right promptly.

Sought through true democracy and scientific discourse to improve our conscious and deliberate improvement of life on earth, seeking only the betterment of each generation and the improvement of ecosystems as the final outcome of all human endeavors. And we prayed to our various higher powers for the power to carry this mission out.

Having had a spiritual awakening and economic political renaissance as a result of these steps we tried to carry forward the good news of abundant peaceful life and prosperous sustainability to all future generations.
