Principles

Searchlessness

1. No intrinsic problem — The tacit knowing that there are no actual existential problems except for the presumption of such, and therefore no existential solution to seek.
2. No final state — The compulsion to fix an ideal pattern limits responsiveness.
3. All is good; all can be better — Dropping existential problem leaves care intact. Nothing need change, yet all situations can be benefitted.

Responsiveness

1. No prescribed response — What happens always carries fresh possibilities.
2. Stay in contact with your fields of care — Responsiveness is action arising from care.
3. Conductivity of body-and-world as one circuit — Fully inhabiting a pattern of interaction dissolves the body–world boundary into a single flow of unlimited participation.

Spaciousness

1. Allow meaning to dissolve and coalesce — Meaning is a space of potential interaction. Temporarily relax meaning to allow discovery of more possiblities for interaction.
2. There is always more potential — Any situation has an infinite amount of detail. Intentions have an infinite amount of detail. There are vast possibilities connecting intentions and situations.
3. Fluid self — Each self-of-the-moment can be released into openness, allowing a fresh one can arise.

Care

1. Care arises of its own accord — Care is neither of self nor world, but rather coalesces and dissolves of its own accord in the space of interaction between self and the world.
2. Welcome that you care about what you care about — Distinguish your deeply personal felt-sense of care from what it might seem good to care about.
3. Contact your hidden care — Our existential unhappiness is an unnecessary reminder that we care as we do. Discover direct contact with the care unhappiness points to.

Energy

1. Feeling without limitation — The shape and texture of energy is constituted from a fingertips-feel for all that is happening, nothing magnified, diminished, or set aside.
2. Aestheticize perception — Energy is an art of perception that yields an aesthetic of action.
3. Move with force — Let energy flow forcefully into action.

Play

1. Take structure as it is — Engage the world exactly as it is.
2. Create within given constraints — Work within the limits you did not choose.
3. Limits are generative — Constraints constitute the foundational elements for generating possibilities of interaction.

Nobility

1. Assume responsibility for trade-offs — Nobility is taking responsibility for the uncomfortable trade-offs that exercising power entails, unforeseen consequences included.
2. Choice without reason — Where no calculus resolves a moral dilemma, nobility is the unreasoned selection among choices that cannot be measured against each other.
3. Own your aesthetic vision — Reasons may illuminate a choice, but the choice itself reflects an aesthetic vision of a possible world of meaning.

Power

1. Increase effective capacity — Power is the value-neutral capacity to produce intended effects, distinct from formal authority, from coercion, and from feeling powerful.
2. You are responsible for everything — Existentially legitimate authority flows from assumed responsibility. This is not an obligation to do something about everything.
3. Nobility guides power — Care is infinite; capability is not. Nobility guides the deployment of finite power over infinite care.
