Roger Savoie | The Ten Tendencies Disempowering our Planet

I’m may be an incurable pedagogue, but at least my students keep coming back for more. With their encouragement, I’m going to offer you some serious rules for the hard road ahead.

TEN MAJOR GLOBAL PROBLEMS (OR TEN DISEMPOWERING TENDENCIES)

I’ve been conscious all my adult life of the urgency for a new revolution of consciousness for humankind. Who can doubt that our dear planet Earth is now dire need of a major and integral uplifting, a complete and inclusive educational program or global revolution. Clearly, this revolution must be comprehensive. It must fully engage what I consider to be the ten primary domains of human experience: psycho-pedagogy, philosophy, religion, politics, economy, ecology, science, social relations, technology and spirituality, which are interconnected. If we neglect but one of them, the whole cookie crumbles.

Everything is interrelated, which is why we can say that human beings truly are facing but one issue, one question.It is the question of UNITY.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

When one reads the following ten diagnoses, one knows that the planet is bordering on catastrophe. How many slaps in the face will humans tolerate in order to understand their need to liberate their inner prophetic conscience (or Hope)?

Usually, crises in individual lives are indicators of necessary and fundamental change. Most individuals will not change unless they fall in the survival or disaster mode. Then it is sometimes woefully too late.

The same is true for societies and for humanity as a whole.

When the ten following disempowering tendencies come to an explosive point as we are seeing now, global action is seen as imperative.

My analysis gives great importance to the inner root-structures of every exterior problem, thus the concept of lack of insight (or lack of understanding).

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, START WITH YOURSELF.

There is no gradation in the survival scenario set below, no most important issue. All domains must be addressed at the same time and all at once. All enlightened individuals must absolutely come together in every sector of human activity.

In the Darwinian survival mode, the fittest will adapt. But who are the fittest? Arguably they are those who have more power, which means more insight, more intelligence, more consciousness, more determination and more tools.

The revolution is enacted one person at a time, from the bottom up and from the Heart down, creating an upsurge of expectation and action.

Enlightened persons are the ones who can create a Universal Forum and attract millions of persons to the Global Agora.

Transformational action comes from transformational consciousness. The need to focus, not particularly on problems, but on a self-evident presumption of UNITY, as the great Sage Adi Da Samraj aptly puts it. What is presumed from the start is not separation but inclusiveness.

Here are the ten fundamental global domains of human activity, with their destructive and disempowering tendencies and their possibilities for changing the world.

1. Lack of psychological and pedagogical insight (or separation from ones inner being).

Self-evident presumption of Unity creates the cure.

Take responsibility for personal conflicts.
Avoid playing the blame game.
Do not feed the current culture of complaint.
Know that social addictions thrive on personal addictions.
See education as the pursuit of excellence, not competition.
Children are neither kings nor objects, but persons to liberate.
Ignorance is a strategy that seeks to avoid reality.

2. Lack of philosophical insight (or separation from higher mind or vision logic)
