transparency

You know you have a transparency problem when citizens of a democracy need to rely on WikiLeaks for details on changes to laws.

Here, then, are some ways we can try to prevent mistakes. We can foster the ability to listen to each other and the freedom to speak our minds. We can create open and transparent environments instead of cultures of secrecy and concealment. And we can permit and encourage everyone, not just a powerful inner circle, to speak up when they see the potential for error.These measures might be a prescription for identifying and eliminating mistakes, but they sound like something else: a prescription for democracy. That's not an accident. Although we don't normally think of it in these terms, democratic governance represents another method__his time a political rather than an industrial or personal one__or accepting the existence of error and trying to curtail its more dangerous incarnations.

Guantánamo Bay's motto: 'Safe, humane, legal, transparent detention.' Four adjectives describing one sick joke.

Every piece of clutter you dissolve back into clear light allows your higher inner blueprint, your soul__ destiny, to translate fluidly and accurately into the form of your life. The clearer you become, the easier it is to evolve along with the planet__ith no snags, stuckness, or suffering. This is the act of becoming transparent.

When you see through a defense mechanism, you don__ stop at the intimidating behavior but go right on into the underlying misperception about life and through that to the path back to harmony. When you see through people__ fear-based actions, motives, and secrets, you__e really aiming for their sweet vulnerability, inner beauty, and magnificence__nd you find their soul.

There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy.

Give it air & let the scar on your soul reveal itself, because, like the body, it too was made to heal itself.

People respect those who know how to admit their own mistakes and see their own weaknesses. If you heart is as transparent as crystal, people will respect you.

Maybe the best way for you to get us to summon our better selves is for you to show us yours.

If you think you can stand to know what you__e made of, try kneeling before God.

We had better share our bewilderments. By hiding them from each other we should not hide them from ourselves.

Even the oldest trees aren't ashamed to stand naked.

Instead of fleeing God scrutiny, David welcomed it. It's like he was saying, "Look God, since I can't hide from you, since you know my very thoughts before I think them, I want you to fully know me. Be in the very core, the essence of my being. If you're going to know me, then know everything about me!

The truth is like sunlight: It causes cancer.

All too often people pretend to be professional. "Professionalism" is sometimes a facade for fraud. Be pro, but be real. Honesty and transparency combined with character, competence and real results is the key to being a true pro.

Tell the truth about any situation & you are delivered from lack of progress, but become hypocritical or lying, and you may be in bondage for life.

I hid my wound under my clothes. Nobody could see it, including myself, and I completely forgot about it. Then I met someone who, filled with love, held me tight in that point. The pain was devastating, and I hated him, o how much I hated him, the cause of all my suffering. Then I met someone, beautifully dressed, and I loved him so much, holding him tight with all my passion. And he suffered badly, and he hated me, o how much he hated me, the cause of all his pain. So the story went on till I met someone who undressed himself, standing completely naked, with all his horrible wounds. Hence I also undressed, and I saw my horrible wounds, which he could also see. Then...

Only through becoming aware of yourself and your limitations can you be transparent with others.
