Membership Steps 

 

This is a very integrated and balanced program.  It can help you get the most out of life, and to do the most good for others, future generations and the natural world. But the key is to first understand how the program works, and then to follow the steps, since they are a recipe for optimum living.  Once you fully understand the strategies involved, then you can make adjustments based on your personal preferences.


1.  Read the Introduction, if you haven't already.


2.  Read the Benefits, if you haven't already.


3.  If you think this program is for you, then find or create some form of ongoing support.  The easiest way to do this is to find one other person to do this with and use the Buddy System format.  A little harder, but usually worth it is to find or organize a small group. If you are already part of a group (a school, a church group or an environmental group, for example) you can usually recruit like-minded people there. Go to the Find Support page for more ideas and materials. Use your support to help you do the following steps.


4.  Before you set goals to improve your life and the world, you ought to assess your current life, usually looking back over the last four months.  You can use the Lifestyle Review and/or the Ecological Lifestyle Assessment for this.


5.  Go to the Vision and Strategies page and read more about the Sakai vision and our major methods.  If you can study and discuss them with a group of people, it will help you understand how these ideas and methods can be used in your life.

6.  Spend at least five hours a week on the best, most loving use of your time.  This means making stretches (efforts) beyond what you normally do. If you wish, you can use the Eight-Lane Highway framework, trying to do action in each area, or you can spend at least one hour in each of the five 'CLEAR' areas:

C = Capacity-building, as in remove obstacles and build capacity.  

L = Live!, as in live your mission and happiness fully

E = Empower others, as in helping them to help themselves

A = Add to your life-support systems at least as much as you take  (More about this.)

R = ''Ripple Effect," as in pass on this method to others personally.

7.  Recommended:

a.  Set goals and make plans every four months or so.  (You can use the Life Pact form for this.)

b.  If it helps, keep a written record or journal of your actions.  This helps motivate you and give you a sense of your progress.

c.  Make a tax-deductible contribution to World Peace One to promote this program and others as part of our global strategy.  To donate by check, send your tax-deductible donation to World Peace One, Penn Av., Pittsburgh, PA 15224.  (Thank you!)

d.  Evaluate yourself every four months or so. You can again use the Lifestyle Review and/or the Ecological Lifestyle Assessment for this, and repeat the cycle every four or six months.
