• Moralistic judgment and static thinking block human connection and create violence.
  • All people's actions are to meet needs we all share as human beings.
  • Expressing our needs is a gift of giving and receiving freely from the heart.
  • People’s actions are the stimulus, never the cause of feelings and actions.
  • Communicate from internal need and joy to enrich/serve life, rather than for external rewards or to avoid punishment.
