What's the most important, unexplored universe? The most unexplored territory? Some could contend it is the oceans, space,
human biology, the rain forests…. Maybe not
said this way, but I think that the insanely humane, unviolent warriors, the
INSHE warriors, the potent activists, have understood they were explorers at
some other level, so infinitely more important, infinitely more joyful
level. Their territory could reasonably
be described as the territory of human morality. Abstract?
No. What a time waste abstract is
now. Rooted in our epigenetic, DNA given
predispositions, as manifest and as called forth, in a specific historical
context. Gandhi's quest, was to explore
the unknown territory to bring a mass population of hundreds of millions of
people to a moral clarity and a moral response, that would wind up with the
British no longer victimizing the Indian People, no longer exploiting and
subjecting them. No one knew how to do
that. No one how to get there. No one knew what questions to ask. Almost no one knew the inside of themselves
well enough, to do any of that. No one
knew how to get from the east coast to the west coast until Lewis and Clark
took on themselves that virgin exploration.
The Potent activist throughout history, is the pioneer of
finding what is right, what is most adaptive, what is most health producing for
the human species, or at least a large population thereof. That's what they do, that's what we do.
How could someone 'act' like Lewis and Clark without being
like Lewis and Clark? How could they
look like explorers without actually being explorers? And yet that's what we've done for the last
40 years, rather than be the potent activists.
This book, this Personal Trainer, is designed, to help
people achieve, in a matter of weeks, substantially, rather than the many
decades it has taken the author.
If you are following your friends, if you are following a
cut and dried path of the status quo, you aren't what they need, you're not
what you need, and you are not what history needs from you, and the future
needs from you. Did I just say
'independence,' did I just say 'working alone?'
No. But no one else was given
your set of eyes, no one else was given your capacity for vision, no one else
was given your particular knowledge of yourself, humanity, and the human
condition. You have to do your part of working this out. If you don't you will know, that you lack one
of the central characteristics of history's potent, effective, activists - Insanely
Humane Unviolent Warriors. They find,
blaze, pioneer missions worth our lives.
