The Global Sisterhood Manifesto


I want to teach Luna how to be a woman.
I want to be an example for her.
I will strive to be the woman that I want her to become.
I didn't think much of this facebook page when I first looked at it, but it really opened my eyes.....

The relationship we have to other women reflects the relationship we have to our own feminine essence.

We take a stand for a new way of being women together on this planet.

Together we can heal and transform the old ways of competition and gossiping, and return to a relationship of celebration and empowerment.

The Global Sisterhood Manifesto
- I commit to be honest and straight with you
- I commit to take responsibility for my self.
- I will ask for support when I need it.
- I will ask for alone time when I need it, and it means nothing personal to you
- I will not try to fix you
- I will listen to you
- I will keep what you share confidential and not gossip about it
- I will not speak negatively about you to others
- I will celebrate your unique beauty and gifts
- I will not hold my self back to fit in and I will support you in doing the same

Mankind is caught in the cycle of fear, apathy and hatred. These human instincts drive hierarchical political systems and bureaucracies that most often limit the basic human right of the pursuit of happiness. A society whose foundation is fear, apathy and hatred sets up a system which fundamentally affects the happiness of the individual. It represses individual development and maintains a cyclical behavioral pattern of superiority and inferiority and a class society founded on untrue ideals. –Mark Zimmerman

Sexual suppression supports the power of the Church, which has sunk very deep roots into the exploited masses by means of sexual anxiety and guilt. It engenders timidity towards authority and binds children to their parents. This results in adult subservience to state authority and to capitalistic exploitation. It paralyzes the intellectual critical powers of the oppressed masses because it consumes the greater part of biological energy. Finally, it paralyzes the resolute development of creative forces and renders impossible the achievement of all aspirations for human freedom. In this way the prevailing economic system (in which single individuals can easily rule entire masses) becomes rooted in the psychic structures of the oppressed themselves. –Wilhelm Reich


In religion and politics, people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second hand from other non-examiners, who were not worth a brass farthing. –Mark Twain


I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also. –Kahlil Gibran


For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. –Ephesians 6:12


Each of us is something of a schizophrenic personality, tragically divided against ourselves. –Martin Luther King, Jr.


None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
-Goethe

"We are not in control of this planet, nor were we ever meant to be. We are delicate creatures, we humans, and we make poor rulers over something as strong, enduring, and infinite as nature."
