RISE Philosophy
R.I.S.E.: Revolution Inspired by Self Evolution
RISE stands for Revolution Inspired by Self Evolution, this means true change occurs when you go through personal transformation. The greatest way to accomplish this transformation is by turning inward to learn about the totality of your true self, to become self aware of all that you are.
SELF AWARENESS
To be self aware is to understand all that encompasses who you are as an individual, most importantly it is self-acceptance. Knowing who you are in the present moment is important. Knowing how you have arrived to be who you are will be beneficial in knowing where you want to go. Being self-aware is to understand how external influences such as family, authority figures, culture, etc. have played their part in shaping you. When you are self-aware you will learn how to recognize the line between that which influences and that which is truly and authentically yourself. This is important in understanding what is your calling or life purpose.
PURPOSE
Purpose for life is not given to you from an outside authority. It is not a birth rite, nor is it written in the stars. You create your own purpose. It is your decision and responsibility to discover what you truly love and to work toward it. To find your life’s purpose you will need to begin a journey of self-awareness. The RISE method of self discovery is by understanding myth.
MYTH
More than the stories of ancient heroes and traditions, myth is a tool for understanding human themes and archetypes. Myth is all around you, it is in music, cinema, literature, art, and politics. Understanding the themes and archetypes that are embedded in all aspects of life will be the clue to understanding your personal myth, it is the catalyst to revealing your bliss and life purpose. Paying attention to the cultural influences that you resonate with are clues to finding your personal myth. Once you can accept this, the next step is to take the leap into adventure by following your bliss. To fulfill your purpose, you will need to rely on your innate creativity.
ART/ CREATIVITY
Art and creativity are far more than what the traditional trades suggest. You don’t have to be a painter, poet, sculptor, or photographer. Art and creativity are attributes that are connected to every vocation conceivable. It is the ability to look at a problematic issue or situation, solve it and unlock a mystery to reveal the solution for the rest of the world to witness and/or interact with. Using creative abilities as problem solving tools that are innate and easily cultivated will assist you on the journey to attaining your purpose.
The 4 C’s: Community, Collaboration, Creativity, & Compassion
You can accomplish a great deal as an individual, but in community you will always surpass what you could have done alone. You may be physically, mentally, and emotional healthy, and someone who knows what they want in life. Independence is an extremely important element of the RISE Philosophy. However, it is only the beginning of the journey, the goal is to inspire the best in you, while also creating an independent and productive community. You have the amazing ability to radically transform your own life, but in community we have the potential to transform the world.
