More About the Manifesto

Tired of trying to be good?

In the future, we will raise our children not to be "good" adults who follow the system, but to be great visionaries who passionately follow their own conscience and vision.

Believe it or not...

The Vision Revolution will change your life, your children's lives, and the world forever.

A few days ago, I sent you an email telling you about how I am writing the manifesto for the Vision Revolution.

I just thought I'd share a few more of my notes with you.

The Vision Force Academy at http://www.visionforce.com is NOT in the "personal development" business.

Personal development is about changing your thoughts and actions to get a little bit better so that you can be a little bit more successful, happy, rich, etc.

We hold that the ideal for each human being goes far beyond being good, or being better.

It is possible for human beings to go far beyond being confident, successful, happy , enlightened, etc.

The ideal is to be totally self-directed as a creator who takes ultimate responsibility for your life and the world around you.

Far beyond being responsible.

Far beyond being successful.

Far beyond being good.

It's about greatness. True greatness.

The kind of greatness exhibited by heroic visionary leaders who walk their talk, and change the world around them for good.

It goes far beyond setting goals and achieving them.

It goes far beyond keeping your commitments and being in integrity.

It's about being so powerfully directed by your own conscience and vision that you naturally and boldly walk where others fear to read.

You NATURALLY feel called to rise up and take a stand in the world.

You don't limit your goals to what seems possible.

You take on the impossible, and risk looking "out of integrity" or irresponsible" to the world around you.

It is about living by the human compass of honor as your guide.

Not honor as you may understand it. (Honor usually implies a given value system that was not chosen by you. Whether or not you are behaving honorably depends on the value system you are judging yourself by.)

I am talking about the feeling of honor. The feeling you get when you consciously choose to stand for something, especially when there is risk involved.

Many people can only understand this feeling in a spiritual or religious sense. But it is a very natural human emotion.

It is the feeling that calls one to greatness, that calls one into heroic action.

IT IS TIME FOR A NEW VISION AND A NEW MODEL FOR HUMAN BEINGS LIVING LIFE ON EARTH

A new decision-making model for honoring self and one's values. A model for making choices in a way that does not diminish self. A model for being a next-generation visionary.

It really is possible for each person to see see such a vision that there is NO turning back.

I say that this is how we will live in the future.

And our technology for self-guidance must advance forward NOW. Not after nuclear, biological and chemical weapons have become
cheap and widespread across the globe.

No, we MUST learn to live as self-directed visionaries now.

Those of you who have participated in Vision Force 101 or the boot camp, have seen and experienced evidence of real technology for guiding one's self as a visionary.

A visionary mother, a visionary leader, a visionary entrepreneur, a visionary human being taking a stand and being true to a vision for making a difference.

A HIGHER STANDARD FOR YOURSELF

Really it is a higher standard for what it means to be human. It is not enough to be good.

To be a "good citizen," "good Christian," "good husband, father, son, brother," "good student," etc.

Good is not good enough. Good by whose standards?

To truly live by your own natural, heroic vision and the implied standards is what it means to be great. Being great is possible for human beings--truly for all human beings.

And so, "great" should be the standard. Not "good."

"Good" in the eyes of Osama, Saddam or Bush might mean you kill innocent people. "Good" in the eyes of your father might mean you take on a profession that leaves you lifeless, or a marriage that leaves you lifeless... you can be lifeless and good. You can't be lifeless and great.

Self-development, philosophy, religion, etc. can be useful tools in a quest to be good, or at least saved from hell, from low self-esteem or from poverty.

There is a new realm of technology that will be required for us to think and live at the level of individual vision.

Visionary Development, or human development for beings who accept their natural potential as a visionary, and wish to live true to their highest calling and vision.

It is time to call each and every human being to rise up off their knees, and stop just trying to be good or patted on the head for following well, or blindly following. The world needs visionaries.

Our children need us to be visionary leaders, so they can be that themselves.

The time has come for every human being to fulfill their true potential--as a visionary leader.

THE TIME IS NOW!

If you are reading these words now, stand up and step into your full power as a visionary. You can transform your life and the world
around you. Stop trying to be good or better, and commit
to being a visionary. Go all the way.

Visionaries are 100% responsible inside of a relationship. Not 50%.

Visionaries take 100% responsibility for their lives and values.

It is a new model for thinking and living. The Vision Revolution is upon us.

Like it or not, the day is coming when there will be a new standard for what it means to be human.

You can fight it, or accept it.

Your friend and ally in the cause for human beings living as visionaries, one and all,


Michael Ivan Skye
VISION FORCE ACADEMY
