New Paradigm Politics


Give up the politics of anger, the politics of polarization.

Give up left and right. Form a circle.

Stop shouting. Start listening.

Listen first to your own body. Then you can listen to others.

Own your anger. Your anger doesn't belong to "them," it belongs to you.

Instead of projecting anger onto the "enemy," feel anger as a nameless sensation in the gut, brain, boiling blood and bone marrow, pure blue flame, sacred and guiltless as any other energy.

Let anger burn itself away to silence. This is the inner work.

Now the circle is truly gathered. Centered presence, listening silence. Not closed silence, but open silence. Not the silence of suppression, but the silence of pure possibility.

Only in the silence of possibility can the heart speak.

The voice of the heart is not your old voice. It is utterly new. Without shouting, without defensiveness, without taking "a stand," the voice of the heart speaks healing and vision.

The voice of the heart reveals the solution, and the solution is simpler than you think. What is the solution?

Form a circle, listen, find out.
