1. I believe that my adversary is also a child of the Creator, that we are both members of the same human family, that we are sisters and brothers in need of reconciliation.

2. I believe that my adversary is not my enemy, but a victim of misinformation as I have been.

3. I believe that my only task is to bring my adversary truth in love (nonviolence) relentlessly.

4. I believe that my adversary’s motives are as pure as mine and of no relevance to our discussion.

5. I believe that even my worst adversary has an amazing potential for positive change.

6. I believe that my adversary may have an insight into truth that I do not have.

7. I believe that one day my adversary and I will understand each other and that if we conduct our search for truth guided by the principles of love, we will find a new position to satisfy us both.
