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!
