We all know the enormity of the environment problems of the earth that threatens all life thereon.  

We all know the economic, political and social injustice rampant throughout the world.  We all know that an epidemic of organizational and institutional failure is raging everywhere.  We all  know our archaic, hierarchical concept of organization and leadership are taking us where no sane, caring person ought to go.  There can be no solution until new concepts of organization and leadership emerge.  That can never come about without a profound change in the consciousness of mankind. The change of consciousness must arise individual by individual.   Chaordic  the universe has always been!  Chaordic the earth will ever be! Chaordic by nature each of us is!  Chaordic our institutions and society must become. This is no time to wait for others.  Educe your inherent nature and insist society be organized in harmony with it.

In the garden of life

Sowing avarice, reaping poverty,

Sowing ego, reaping despair,

Sowing envy, reaping misery,

Sowing power, reaping slavery,

Sowing violence, reaping death,

Blind and deaf we blunder 

In the garden of life.

It is not the poor and humble who are desecrating the earth, waging war, demeaning people, or decimating species;  it is the rich, the educated, the honored and acclaimed – – – the interchangeable, cognitive elite that now controls power in government, business, science and education.

Anger and greed always justify their abuse with claims of prior provocation.  Their every offense they profess to be a defense.  Any opposition is considered an attack.  Angry, greedy people should never be put into powerful positions.

Where the wealthy are content with moderate possessions and desire no more – – – where the educated are content with knowledge and expect no preference – – – where the powerful are content with persuasion and eschew force – – – where the poor and weak are not without sustenance, shelter, hope and opportunity – – –  Only there will we find social soil in which enduring peace, justice and prosperity may be grown.  Where the opposite prevails, tyranny, injustice and brutality will be the harvest.

Expecting those who control massive commercial corporations to work for long term societal and environmental good rather than short term profit, or measure their success in moral and ethical terms, rather than monetary terms, is like expecting a dung beetle to leave a pile of manure, climb a flower and sip nectar.  It’s ag’in the natur o’ the beast.

Minds honed to razor sharpness on the cold stones of logic, reason and mathematics easily dispose of god as myth, morality as subjective, humility as weak, generosity as foolish, love as ephemeral, and empathy as irrelevant.

A lamb is not bound to the logic of a lion, a lark to the habits of a hawk, or a rose to the conduct of a cucumber.  Each is bound only to the nature of its species.  What bounds mankind to anything?  Are we the first unspeciated species?  Can such a species long endure.

If you would avoid having your authority and decisions resented and circumvented, include others in your deliberations when they do not expect it, and exclude no one when they do.
