Are you fed up with politics, but still want to be involved in the issues of the day? Is there another way, in which we can reach the very core? Is there a way to take action, without petty squabling, without being dependent on the massive government apparatus?
Select a political issue you care about. Transform a political issue into a Quest.
Politics is poison (intro)
Politics means having a glaze over your eyes. Politics means looking at only one side of the issue. Politics means bloviating, pomposity, grandiosity, self-righteousness.
Turn a political issue into a Quest
We have to fight politics as a way of thinking and as a way of life. How? By grasping the totality of a political situation. By transforming the field on which the opposing parties meet, so that they do not meet in opposition.

Politics: Is there another way?

Does politics have to be adversarial? Is government that recognizes heart and soul possible? Can the citizen make a difference? Is politics the only way to organize society?
 

"What is called politics is comparatively something so superficial and inhuman, that practically I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all…It is as if a thinker submitted himself to be rasped by the great gizzard of creation. Politics is, as it were, the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel."

Henry David Thoreau
