Philosophy
“The chaos in the world (Environment) is a reflection of the disorder in our minds and hearts (INvironment)”
This observation plays a central role in Fred’s vision of the world. In order to address the imbalance between the use of our minds and hearts, the main themes of his work are the encouragement of inspiration, co-creativity and dynamic harmony:
- within the individual
- between people
- between people and their environment
Re-balancing the equilibrium of the male and female principle in humans is a necessity in transforming ourselves to live more functional lives. Shaped by his life experiences, Fred describes this vision in his book Rediscover Your Heart. His ideas crystallized into 7 key principles which can support the transformation.
Key 1: We can trust in the guiding hand of the Divine.
Affirmation: I trust that everything has a divine purpose from which it is possible to learn and grow.
Key 2: We can free our minds to explore new horizons.
Affirmation: I can go beyond my conventional belief systems and open up to infinite possibilities.
Key 3: We can rediscover our hearts and serve humanity.
Affirmation: By expanding my consciousness I can integrate my mind and heart and serve humanity compassionately.
Key 4: We can empower ourselves.
Affirmation: I choose to free myself from fear to allow changes within and without. In supporting myself and others in this process we can together develop a caring and sharing society.
Key 5: We can live in the spirit of unity.
Affirmation: By learning to integrate different parts of my being and focusing on our common humanity I can work for the interests of all.
Key 6: We can find our own path to truth.
Affirmation: May I have the courage to explore the mysteries of life and seek the truth without judgment.
Key 7: We can make a difference.
Affirmation: My personal development is linked to global transformation and I am aware that each one of us counts. I honor the global family of which I am part and cherish the home planet that we all share.
