THE INTERNATIONAL CORPS OF DIPLOETS

TEMPLE BEAUTIFUL The Ancient Egyptian ritual depicted in this wall drawing represents how some of the world’s first diploets met the muse. This “Temple Beautiful” meditation is included in the free information described on this page.

Terry Philips, Founder of the Corps of Diploets, was an aspiring poet from West Hartford, Connecticut when he underwent life-changing inspiration in April 2003. Eager to meet the mythical muse, Terry was skeptical that such events really happen... until the muse met him!

"I got only one word. That word hit me--like--kapow!" Terry announced to members of Meeting the Muse. "Diploet. It means Diplomatic Poet. What I don't know is: What am I supposed to do about it?"

Fellow poets responded by naming Terry director of the fledgling circle of diplomatic poets who next adopted the honorary title "diploet" as one any writer who had signed "A Writer's Credo" could use. From this humble start, the path of diploecy circled the world. Join us? It's free!

THE DIPLOET'S PATH

Diploecy produces profound-yet-practical peace and prosperity, and includes a creative-writing critique technique that assures everyone wins/no one loses.

Diploetic power in motion promises to be more influential than military might or political prowess. and it eradicates religious conflict.

Terry Philips, the world's first Diploet, died less than six months after his meeting with the muse. His legacy lived on. Plans for development of the Diploetic Corps proceeded under the inspirational light of Pratap Kotamraju, former career diplomat and journalist from India who retired in Southwest Missouri. In January 2006, Eric H. Read became Keeper of the Seal.

DIPLOET'S SEAL The Diploet's seal symbolizes the merging of two cultures--one of the Egyptian Pharaoh's chamber, and the turquoise dreamcatcher of the American Indian. In these two separate and distinct cultures the whole of the Amy Kitchener's "Angels Without Wings Foundation" movement is realized in the 21st century.
