The Necessity of Transcending Political Sides
In a world dominated by partisan conflicts and ideological divides, the need to rise above political sides has never been greater. A truly wise approach to politics begins with prioritizing humanity over political interests or motivations. This perspective requires acknowledging the shared values and needs that connect all individuals, regardless of their affiliations or beliefs.
By refraining from taking sides, leaders and citizens can adopt a viewpoint rooted in universal principles such as compassion, fairness, and integrity. This is not about abandoning convictions but about recognizing that no political ideology or faction holds the monopoly on truth or morality. The essence of political wisdom lies in seeing beyond labels and divisions, focusing instead on solutions that benefit humanity as a whole.
Taking a human-centered stance fosters dialogue, reduces polarization, and encourages collaborative problem-solving. It allows for a deeper understanding of the root causes of issues and a commitment to resolving them based on what is just and equitable for all, rather than what serves the narrow interests of one group.
Facing the Two Main Challenges
To make this a reality, we face two main problems: the immaturity of the people and the interests of the big players (elites). The immaturity of the general populace leads to decisions driven by emotions, misinformation, or short-term benefits, rather than long-term wisdom. On the other hand, the interests of the elites, who are the architects of the current systems, stand in stark opposition to any attempt at creating systems that prioritize humanity over profit or control. Not that the elites have a higher maturity in consciousness; no, they are on the same level as the rest, with the difference, they are smarter, more brutal, and relentlessly ruthless.
Two Mountains of Ignorance
The question is: how do we deal with these two mountains of ignorance? This challenge demands both a transformative approach to education and a restructuring of the power dynamics. On one side, the immaturity of the populace must be addressed through fostering critical thinking, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the most inner structure of power and what it means to a truly free and self-responsible human being. On the other side, the relentless grip of the elites must be broken by dismantling their concentrated power and exposing their ruthless practices. Accountability must not be a mere framework, but a transformative force that shatters their control and dismantles systems of exploitation and manipulation. The effort is not about balance, but to end domination and establish a foundation for wisdom to thrive.
Learning from Revolutionary Times
Today we live in an age of nihilism, where many have abandoned the belief that a better world is possible. Yet history teaches us valuable lessons from revolutionary times when people rose up and shattered dominant systems because they deeply believed in the possibility of a better future. Even when the uprising was fueled by blind rage against the elites and the unjust system, it was underpinned by a profound conviction that change was necessary and achievable. We need again the kind of spirit to bring down the mountains of ignorance, but this time not out of rage, but of understanding. It is not enough to bring down the elites and the system; without an alternative that ends the old power structure at its core, the cycle will only repeat. Destroying the current system without addressing its foundation will simply pave the way for new elites to take their place.
The Need for Understanding
We have to cultivate true understanding, seeing reality beyond appearance. The "other" is not the enemy. We should not fall into the trap of "dehumanizing" the others. The elites and the people normally fall into the black hole of demonizing the other side. With this, we reach a complexity of emotionality that makes clear thinking impossible. Wisdom is about understanding and not about fighting against each other.
It's about overcoming political sides and starting to see the common good, not only for humans but for the whole planet. Meanwhile, as we continue to take sides, the power structure that has existed since the beginning of civilization will remain. The lessons of history leave no doubt that without a universal vision, we will end up in endless conflicts at every level.
Retaking Power through Wisdom
Retaking power requires more than protests or changing faces in leadership; it demands a profound transformation in how we perceive and engage with the world. To reclaim our agency, we must first overcome the illusion of separation and recognize the interconnected reality we all share. It is not just about replacing one power system with another, but about redefining what power actually means and how it can be used wisely.
Understanding higher levels of consciousness must be at the core of this shift, fostering clarity, empathy, and the ability to transcend short-term and personal interests. Through exploring higher states of awareness, we can cultivate a sense of unity and responsibility, not only toward other humans but also toward the planet. By grasping the deeper systems at play, we can begin dismantling the entrenched structures that perpetuate inequality and exploitation.
On a systemic level, we need politics led by wise individuals with true power. Unlike today, where many leaders are driven by ignorance and lack real authority, this must change. Wisdom is essential to break the cycle of destruction. When decision-making is entrusted to individuals who are unshakable in their principles, free from fear, and detached from worldly temptations, we can dismantle the entrenched power elites and create an education system that fosters mature, responsible individuals.
Retaking power also requires confronting the entrenched elites who thrive on division and manipulation. This is not a call for vengeance, but for a radical restructuring of the system. Only through a combination of understanding, unity, and action can we begin to dismantle cycles of oppression and build a future rooted in wisdom and equity.
And this starts now. With you. Because one thing is clear: nothing can stop the evolution of life. No oppression can hold back an idea whose time has come. When we retake the power that resides within us, we can change the world.
