The Burden of Power - The Potential for Change

With Power comes responsibility...

This truism holds never more forcibly than today. Today we hold more power in our hands and in our understanding and knowledge than for many millenia.How we implement this power and how we interpret it has been a judgement call down the ages - since time immemorial.

The difference today, with information and knowledge being so immediately available and at our fingertips (literally), is that we have as a whole the ability to change, transform and make huge leaps of awareness in the mere twinkling of an eye, compared to time gone by.

Yet in spite of these available sources, there lies a vast sea of habitual slumber and resistance to change that becomes an impediment to progress on a physical, mental and spiritual level.

Was it always so?

If we are to believe those that have handed down the history of evolutionary process, yes.

Looking at the development of humankind we perhaps construct a Darwinian fable of survival of the fittest and recognise that the hierarchy of power is for the higher good of all.

Yet systems come and systems go and surrounding so many there is the constant repetition of control, competition and subjection of the many.

Where this has not been the case, we can find a benign and sensitive understanding and co-operation aligned with an awareness that the individual parts are merely the operation
of the whole.

When this is respected, acknowledged and co-ordinated with, the growth of a powerful, interdependent and unusually creative state blossoms.

Is this not worthy of investigation?

If so, what can we learn from emulating such flourishing and where might it take this extraordinary creation - humankind?

It has been far, far too long a time since this was the globally accepted way of being.

The road to freedom is the return to this way.
