Dismantle the Empire from within
The men who are in power are not in power because they have a bigger gun. Or a faster draw. Or computer-guided targeting missile systems, tanks, super-sonic war-planes, and chicks with big white boobies.
No.
They are the 'Man' because most of the people in the world allow these mens' thoughts to dictate their reality. Education, media, tradition, etc. The material wealth is a result of their gluttony and wallowing in this natural power, and the guns are an attempt to protect themselves against what they know must someday happen.
To oppose their worldly power in any forum other than your own mind is 99% of the time pointless, individually or collectively -- you see, there is no advantage in such a hopeless position of conflict. The revolutionary is crushed in body, mind, and spirit before anything is accomplished. And what remains?
The real power, the true power lies in KNOWING that all things must rise after they have fallen.
It is not this money machine which must fall, or these 'men' with big guns. It is the correct Spirit that will again rise and fill the consciousness of the people.
Has everyone forgotten? Only two hundred years ago, a great nation of fierce, proud, and reverent people still travelled this America freely, as they had for thousands of years -- literally -- before that. My people were strong with nature, and understood better than the western man that eternal life is a cycle of great death and rebirth -- every winter and spring.
How hard it was to accept that all of those lives were but leaves, and that the entire heritage could lie dormant in something so small as a seed! But it is true! Those traditions, seemingly wiped out of existence, lie quivering in the breeze and bristling in the sunlight. They are not destroyed; they have been transmuted into POWER.
A great genocide -- a drought, a forest fire -- happened right here at home long before the consequences of what we are doing over in the Middle East, or even what we have done in Japan and south east Asia, will ever affect our individual lives.
It is not about punishment. Can the fire be blamed? Power is to side with the inevitability of new trees growing, for hundreds of years if necessary, until they stand taller, wiser, and older than what was lost. Power is to realize that no amount of brain-washing can extinguish this spirit of rebirth & freedom. Power is to concentrate on this energy. Power is to allow your life's work to become this energy because it satisfies your soul and makes your elders proud.
Power does not overtly disrupt the functioning of this great civilization. The sapplings are still vulnerable, so why create a new fire? Power does not foolishly squander its talent or strategy without gain. Power does not need to display itself violently or aggressively because true power is greater than all those things. True power grows. . .
To know this brand of power is to also know that those men who appear to have all the power (only by controling the material wealth of the world) are sick with it -- a prison from which they cannot escape. They are bored and are insatiably looking for any type of thrill. The motion and limitless experience of divine right was lost with them generations ago. They are inbred now, and impotent. They cannot hear their thoughts like a babbling brook, or hear their Lover at all times whispering sweet nothing to them. They are miserable. And when this desire to be free of it is ripe, power will grant their wish -- not destroy them or fight them -- the curtain will simply be closed, the wonderful play is now over. They will go home. And they will finally begin to see what life was worth living for.
Then everything, everything, everything in existence will mature: Spring will give way to business of Summer. Those who have been preparing for many years will be in the most advantageous position to capitalize in this period, for their roots will be established and poised to produce a bounty of fruit. Indeed, the leaders of the new world are already knowing it into existence.
