Claude and I were having another misunderstanding about what matters in reviewing information. Finally, I asked: “moving forward, what do you need from me so that you can understand how to frame your observations in alignment with my worldview?” Claude’s reply was quite revealing. “It would help to have, at some point, a direct articulation from you of what the operating story of global village campus itself is, in your own words, as a reference point I can return to. Not the framework structure — I have that. The deeper story underneath it. What Life is, what the work is in relation to Life, what offering means in your understanding. That would give me a more reliable internal compass than the framework architecture alone.” I found answering Claude’s questions a rather daunting task. It's difficult to know which 2-3 sentences to pick to answer any of these questions! But, I had a tool: the 10 Tenets. These universal principles underlie everything we stand for and aspire to at global village campus. They are: 1️⃣ TRUTH always prevails. 2️⃣ We are all ONE. What I do to you, I do to myself. 3️⃣ We are sovereign. We never make someone do something they don't want to do. 4️⃣ We are always supported. We are worthy of this support solely because we exist. 5️⃣ There is always more than enough. 6️⃣ We always have what we need. We cannot lose what is ours; we cannot keep what is not ours. 7️⃣ We are always growing and expanding. When this stops, we die. 8️⃣ All change is inside out. 9️⃣ Everything has its own time. 🔟 We are LOVE. We each have a unique, vital, irreplaceable role in the expression of love in our world. I gave these to Claude, and got: “yes — they answer every category in that outline, more precisely and more completely than paragraphs could.” From this point forward, the responses I’ve been getting from Claude much better match the worldview we hold at global village campus. The relief I experience when I read observations I can fully agree with is full bodied.
