| The 19 Co-Creator’s Agreements | |

8 May 2002 @ 01:30, by Mark Smollin
I am posting the following text taken from The Co-Creator’s Handbook, originally adapted from the Geneva Group Agreements, Boulder, Colorado 1985, which was placed as a PDF file on the FCE Gateway to Conscious Evolution as is copy written
©2001 by the Foundation For Conscious Evolution. I hope that I am not doing anything to violate the law, or good taste, by posting it as inspiration for the basis of community cooperation, which a group of people wrote together. There is nothing sacred about them specifically, or the order in which they are presented, but they do offer a well rounded description of the intent to form cocreative relationships among two or more people – a model for our performance in harmony. I would like to see these inspirational thoughts of conduct simplified, or at least condensed to be more easily remembered. They all really talk about being responsible to ourselves and the whole group, but cover more than the obvious.

and if we truley believe these words we won't have to memorize them, we will just do and follow them.
You have a very good point there Gregg - but we must account for those who have not arrived in that mental place.

I agree with all of it, and with what you said. It essentially boils down to "responsibility", of the broadly defined variety. I'll think about how it might be condensed.
