The Zulu Declaration
I.
I am.
I am conscious and aware.
I am unique.
I am the face of humanity;
The face of humanity is my face.
The infinity is a unity; it cannot
be destroyed.
I am a constituent of the unity.
I cannot be destroyed;
The infinity and I are inseparable
I am eternal; I am the secret that
drives out all fear
Perpetual evolution is my destiny
I evolve forever, in response to
the challenge of being human
I have mind to light my path in
the mazes of cosmic order.
This mind has many sides;
It comprehends all things.
It establishes my right to latitudes;
to being heard;
It makes me feel at home in the
cosmic order.
My neighbor has a mind.
It also comprehends all things.
My neighbor and I have the same
origins.
We have the same life-experience
and common destiny;
We are the obverse and reverse
sides of one entity.
We are unchanging equals.
We are the faces which see themselves
in each other;
We are mutually fulfilling complements;
We are simultaneous legitimate
values;
My neighbor's sorrow is my sorrow;
His joy is my joy.
He and I are mutually fulfilled
when we stand by each other in the moments of need.
His survival is a precondition
of my survival.
That which is freely asked or freely
given is love
Imposed love is a crime against
humanity.
I am sovereign of my life;
My neighbor is sovereign of his
life;
Society is a collective sovereignty;
It exists to ensure that my neighbor
and I realize the promise of being human.
I have no right to anything I deny
my neighbor;
I am all; all are me.
I come from eternity;
The present is a moment in eternity;
I belong to the future.
I can commit no greater crime than
to frustrate life's purpose for my neighbor.
I define myself in what I do to
my neighbor.
I am the servant of my ancestors;
My ancestors are humanity;
All I live for is to be the best
that I can be.
There are no frontiers I cannot
cross,
For I, the person, am my own challenge.
I am Father-Mother;
I am the cluster of phenomena,
which constitute me.
I am father-mother-child.
I am the past, the present and
the future
I have no beginning and no end;
I am the geodesic circle which
Father and Mother merged to become me.
I extend myself into the child.
I am the brick out of which society
is built;
I am the Eternal Person
In everything I think and do, I
describe myself;
We have in us everything we need
to evolve;
To discover satisfying dimensions
of being human;
To realize the promise of being
persons.
I know I shall prevail,
For, I know who I say I am;
He has not been born who shall
say he has conquered me!
