A Declaration of Universal Rights

(excerpt)

by erin Dragonsong

With all that's going on in the world, it's easy to despair and imagine the destruction of society if not the world.

What we need, beyond hope, is the WAY FORWARD.

We all wish to create a new and better world, and to do that, the Sacred Balance of life must be honoured.

This blueprint, The Covenant of Life, is a call to remember the ancient truth that all beings, all forms, and all forces are woven together in a sacred, living, evolving web.

It affirms that true freedom, peace, and fulfillment arise only when life flows in harmony... when rights are upheld not just for individual humans, but for all in existence.

This is more than philosophy. It is a living blueprint to restore wholeness, justice, and beauty to our world by embracing the rights and responsibilities that sustain our shared future.

May Mother Earth receive all humanity's promise to uphold this Covenant of Life!

I invite you to join me in this pledge!

(NOTE:  This is the bare-bones outline; if you'd like to get the full Covenant of Life in a beautiful book, please email me to find out when it's available.)

The Blueprint of The New Earth

Honouring The Sacred Balance

Sacred Balance is the web of life itself—Nature, Spirit, and existence, woven together in an unbreakable unity.

It is the natural flow of life. It is upheld through mutual respect, conscious action, and alignment with truth. Every being thrives when balance is honored; all suffering arises from its disruption.

It is not merely a philosophy or set of values — it is the truth of existence, the rhythm of the cosmos, the flow of energy through all things. We are not separate from Nature, Spirit, or Universal Law—we are those things, and they are us.

To honor the Sacred Balance is to walk in harmony, preserving life’s integrity for all beings, so the web remains strong, whole, and thriving for the generations to come.

The moment one being’s rights are harmed, the web is weakened, and all are inevitably affected. Each violation tears at the threads, making the fabric of life more fragile, setting in motion imbalance that ripples across time, growing into deeper suffering and destruction.

To honor this truth is to uphold the Sacred Balance, ensuring that every soul walks their own path in harmony, never at the cost of another’s sovereignty, freedom, well-being, or fulfilment.

Once, life flowed in harmony, guided by the wisdom of the Divine Feminine—the sacred force of LOVE, creation, nurture, and unity.

These were not mere ideals; they were the heartbeat of existence. In the era before conquest and control, humanity understood that thriving was not built on domination but on cooperation, beauty, and respect for the cycles of nature.

But this wisdom was suppressed. The Goddess was silenced. Love was twisted into control, creation into consumption, unity into division. And in that fracture, the web of life began to unravel.

Yet, the truth remained—it could not be erased, only forgotten.

Now, The Covenant of Life stands as a call to remember—to restore what was lost and step once more into balance.

Across time and tradition, the deepest wisdom has remained unchanged: that freedom cannot exist without love, responsibility, and harmony. From St. Augustine’s call to “Love, and do what you will,” to the Eastern principles of karma and Ahimsa, to Indigenous teachings on balance and interconnectedness, the truth repeats itself in every lineage:

We are one, and to harm another is to harm ourselves.

This is the foundation of The Covenant of Life—a declaration of intrinsic rights for all beings and the responsibilities that uphold them.

This Covenant is a sacred compact between ourselves as individuals, all species, all beings, Mother Earth, and the Source Of All That Is—an unwavering vow to uphold the harmony of existence.

II. Core Principles

1. Well-being: The Right to Thrive

Every living being is entitled to conditions that sustain life and promote health.

2. Freedom: The Right to Personal Sovereignty

3. Fulfillment: The Right to Purpose, Love, Peace, Belonging, & Spiritual Communication

III. Responsibilities: Upholding The Covenant of Life

Rights are inalienable, yet inseparable from responsibility. To claim these rights is to accept the duty of upholding them for all others.

All freedoms exist in balance with ethical responsibility. Any act that knowingly distorts truth, manipulates, causes harm, or violates another’s rights violates the Covenant.

While such violations do not nullify one's own rights, they demand accountability, restitution, and corrective action to restore balance.

There are two core responsibilities that sustain the Sacred Balance:

  1. To uphold and protect these fundamental rights for all beings.
  2. To avoid causing harm to the best of one's ability.

With Brightest Blessings,
