Notes on personal, professional, and spiritual development, by Juniper Leinani Lovaas

ParaVolvo

a code by which we live

The integrity and dignity of all life is valued

Righteous pride in what is good

Self sufficiency brought about by clarity of purpose;

Relation to People and Place

A mindset characterized by lack of dependency, where decision making power is actualized, alignment of will is conscious, when one acts with assuredness and self trust

places a high value on all forms of connection

captures the importance of intangible bonds

ensures parity of attention between bonds of disparate weight

navigates dual relationships with discretion and care

spiritual revelry, God-consciousness

sees mana in all of creation

attunement to that of people which is more than the sum of their parts

legitamizes the magic in mundane acts of service, resistance, and love

Be a docent of life to your inner children

Strive for symbiosis and keep only the skills and attitudes that help serve others, the Earth, the body, the mind, or the spirit

leadership, growth, membership, belonging, and purpose flow out from here

recognize the temporary nature of labels and narratives

here, responsibility and committment are spiritual achievements as well as worldly ones

love for creation leads to gratitude

prayer for the sake of prayer

Belief in the unknown, curiosity about Truth

Active looking for clarity and making room for mystery

Building identy atop a foundation of inate worth
