PanTerraVida Foundational Principles

To Be Free, We Must Be Self-Responsible

At PanTerraVida, we have four main foundational principles that members strive to use in our day-to-day interactions and actions. These four principles are for members to be:

Self-Responsible

Self-Directive

Self-Generating

Self-Correcting

Having principles is something that could be called “vital for life”. Why would one say that? What is life? Why are we here? What is a principle? A principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. So here we are at the idea of a foundation. Foundations are important. Why could that be? Well, let’s use the analogy of building a house. Where do we start when building a house, to make sure that it is strong and does not just fall down? We start by making a secure foundation on which to build our structure. Houses and all other buildings that last the longest are built on a strong and secure foundation.

With that thought, then why not build ourselves into strong beings by creating a foundation on which to build and live our lives? To do this gives us the ability to become so much more in the way of finding our creator capacity and to use our will and drive to keep on growing, learning, evolving and making our lives to be true and real. With no foundation, it is quite likely to find oneself going through the motions of living where we are not evolving, but just surviving - and actually - not truly living. With a firm foundation and foundational principles we can become stronger and stronger while also being able to be flexible through various circumstances and as we evolve, we become and express more and more of our authentic selves.

At PanTerraVida (PTV) and Gemstone University, we are learning how to attain Freedom Absolute, and this is why we chose this name for our new publication on Substack and on Patreon. We are here to guide people who wish to be free to learn what it really means to disentangle oneself from all attachments and unwanted contracts and agreements. PanTerraVida is a private society with our own jurisdiction and law form. Gemstone University aka GEM University is the educational forum of the society, with Freedom Absolute being our public-facing forum to guide like-hearted beings to find PTV and GEM University.

There are too many people playing the blame game in this reality in which we find ourselves. Here at PTV we are not looking for something outside of ourselves to tell us what to do or be. We are not reacting without awareness. We are not looking for someone or something to blame if things don’t go exactly as we wanted them to go. In fact, we take full responsibility for all of our experiences because when something happens that affects us, we are there and therefore are involved!

What does it mean to be Self-Responsible?

When we are self-responsible we take responsibility for anything and everything that we experience in this world, whatever that might be because we are co-creators. We learn to respond rather than react to events, happenings, circumstances, and situations. We use respond-ability where we have the ability to respond. When we take responsibility, we are no longer under anyone else’s power or authority. Each one of us is the author of our own life experience. Being self-responsible gives us a whole different perspective on life, and we can start to then take charge of our own selves and act as our own authority. One cannot be free if one is not self-responsible.

What does it mean to be Self-Directive?

Being Self-Directive means directing our own lives and what we do, where we go, and who we co-create with. To be self-directive, one must have one’s own initiative to do what needs to be done in any environment in which we are responsible. Being self-directive means being able to act without someone outside of ourselves telling us what to do. At the same time, it does not mean that we cannot take direction from someone with whom we are working on a project or any other creative process when the agreement is that someone else is the leader and/or expert in that scenario. Being self-directive can also mean initiating a project or idea and acting upon that and putting wheels in motion to make it happen and manifest.

What does it mean to be Self-Generating?

Being Self-Generating means generating whatever it takes to create that which our self-direction has initiated. When we are self-generating, we are able to generate anything that we need in the way of energy and inspiration to create and manifest. When we self-generate, we have a continuous stream of thought and ideas - not from the mind, but from the heart which is that eternal part of each one of us. As PanTerrans come to know, we are not limited unless we choose to argue for our limitations and when one does that, one cannot be self-generating. When we have a broad perspective regarding what this physical world is, who we are, and what we can do in this physical world, we can start to manifest more and more because when we know who we are. All limitations fall away. Sure, it can take time to get there, but when we keep our focus on what we wish to see and experience, we can make all sorts of things happen!

What does it mean to be Self-Correcting?

Being Self-Correcting is the most important foundational pillar. If we cannot or will not self-correct we will take ourselves into all sorts of dead-ends and into situations that may not be fixable! When we make “mistakes” or mis-steps, we can self-correct and learn from them and do things better the next time around. It is about being and staying aware, and knowing when we have taken the route that does not work for any particular task and are able to correct our course, get back on track, and to grow and learn from the experience. There is no need to berate oneself for anything that does not work out, it is all grist for the mill and when we can see how we can self-correct and make every mistake, mis-step, false-move, breakage, damage, spillage or any other off course and off-track event a learning curve, then we can strengthen and become better and better and can continue on the path to becoming the best that we can be!

How can you start to build these foundational principles?

First, we recommend that you just sit with the idea of what is described above and consider whether or not you tend to be self-responsible, or do you have an in-built program that instantly looks for someone to blame. There is no need to make excuses or reasons for why you might have that in-built reaction because almost everyone has it. We are brought up as young ones to look outside of ourselves for reasons why things happen and why it was someone else’s “fault” that something happened and why it “would never have happened if ___________” fill in the blank. Becoming aware that we are programmed this way is a big step toward change and growth toward self-responsibility.

Next, when you have pondered how you re-act to events, situations, happenings, problems, mistakes etc. - consider how you could act differently and look at these situations from a new perspective. What if you are fully responsible for what has occurred? How might you neutralize a situation rather than getting all upset, angry, resentful or any other way when something doesn’t go quite the way you wanted or expected it to?

Once you are able to be aware of how you are reacting to situations and to recognize when you are looking outside of yourself, and/or acting out of a program, you can actually stop the program in its tracks and look at what is happening from your completely new perspective. Soon, you will be able to start being self-directive, self-generating and self-correcting and also at the same time, you can become a better and better team-player where you can stop blaming others, and start being creative and co-creative.

When one works from this inner knowing and perspective, there are endless opportunities to grow and evolve, and soon one sees that creation and manifestation is part of living and that we are here to co-create!
