<ol>
<li>The concept of Self is a temporary illusion.</li>
<li>We are each a sliver of the greater whole of life. We are as cells in the body. Each growing, living and dying.</li>
<li>Every body has a variety of cells. The cells of a healthy body work in unison.</li>
<li>Be aware that you can attribute to the health and disease of the greater whole.</li>
<li>Anger, hate, and jealousy are symptoms of disease. Avoid harmful and disruptive thoughts and actions. They harm others, you, and the whole.</li>
<li>You are not your body.</li>
<li>You are not the items that surround you.</li>
<li>You are not defined by anything material.</li>
<li>You are how you feel about yourself.</li>
<li>You are how you feel about others.</li>
<li>You cannot be separate from the whole.</li>
<li>You can believe you are.</li>
<li>Strength is found in acceptance of others.</li>
<li>Strength is found in the understanding that you are a part of others.</li>
<li>Happiness, love, and health are the products of embracing unity.</li>
<li>View everyone as an ally.</li>
<li>Recognize that not everyone will do the same.</li>
<li>Try to help those that are consumed with disease.</li>
<li>Accept that you cannot always do so.</li>
<li>You are your actions and your thoughts. Think and act positive, and you will be a positive influence.</li>
<li>Resist negative influence. Surround yourself with others that do the same.</li>
</ol>
