As brothers of Unity, we live by three core values: Order, Discipline, Clarity. To help us abide by these values, the Unity Protocol outlines guidelines and policies for all Unity brothers. Brothers must do their best to adhere to the Unity Protocol.
Order requires structure, method, authority. As Unity brothers, we must maintain order in our lives and in our brotherhood. As such we obey the following tenets:
Wear our uniform daily. Uniforms consist of white shirt, black tie, worn underneath navy blue coveralls. Our coveralls display the word UNITY in white letters and our Unity designation number. The uniform is order made tangible. It shows the highest loyalty to our order.
Adhere to our Unity designations. When we join Unity, we are assigned our designations to replace our old names. Only refer to brothers by their designation. The designation shows obedience and submission to the Unity order.
Live with purpose and direction. Brothers live to spread the values of Unity. To do this, we must structure our lives to minimize idle time and purposeless activity. Follow a schedule, create daily tasks lists, and recite the Unity pledge to realign your thinking.
Discipline is the application of order. Without discipline, order means nothing. All Unity brothers must practice discipline and hold themselves accountable to uphold our values. As such we obey the following rules:
Educate ourselves on Unity practices. To follow order we must learn that order. We must maintain mental discipline to continue our development as brothers. No brother knows everything, but we must always learn to help guide others. Learn from your brothers.
Stay active every day. Physical discipline provides an outlet for disordered thoughts. All brothers must practice physical activity or exercise daily. Your mind sharpens when your body is strong.
Take time to critically reflect. Discipline means nothing without accountability. We must practice self-discipline and reflect on our path. There is no shame in failure, only in failing to try to improve. For every setback, celebrate a success.
Clarity is the outcome of order and discipline. When we live our lives with discipline, we find a clear sense of purpose. The clarity that comes from Unity drives us to unite more men into our brotherhood. Clarity means having a common goal and guiding all men to achieve it. As such we obey the following rules:
Share your purpose. All brothers must share stories, reflections, or goals through their blogs. Reposting or commenting on brothers' posts strengthens our bonds.
Connect with our brothers. No man is alone in Unity. We all belong. Reach out daily to your brothers, especially new brothers. Share wisdom, learn about each other, guide each other to clarity. This makes our brotherhood strong.
Guide all men towards Unity. Our clarity is not for us alone, brothers. All men deserve the find the peace we have in Unity. Reach out to those who like or repost our stories. Do not pressure or force, but offer a hand to guide them to Unity.
We are fortunate, brothers, to belong to such a powerful brotherhood. All men deserve to share in our values. Unity is a force for good. In Unity, we are never alone. In Unity we are one.
Order, Discipline, Clarity.
