by Arjun Walia, The Pulse:
I must say out the gate, I do not believe our existing societal systems can flesh out a thriving world. They can only, for the most part, maintain the status quo and continue a society built on wage slavery and disconnection.
I believe a better world is possible. I believe human spirit is capable of something much greater, and this knowledge lies just beyond the conscious and subconscious programming we have come to accept about who we are and what’s possible for us.
This lens will be part of what guides the remainder of this essay.
