From the Bottom Up

I recently posted on Facebook a short statement about the recent presidential election.  It seems that no matter what we do on the bottom of the top continues to win big and in a “money” system the 1% at the top control the 99% at the bottom.  So how can we shift from a money system?  As I mentioned last week Michael Tellinger says the Ubuntu system of Contributionism is a possible solution.  The problem in such a system is complexity and a lack of cohesiveness.  We need a simple path in which people with drive, skills in ordinary human relations and perseverance can succeed by their efforts in small groups. This past year we wrote a book called The Power of the Double Circle.

By the use of pairs of people working in tandem within a double circle, power is generated and sustained. By power I mean action to solve problems in real time about what in believe we all cherish; that is truth justice and love. In this triad love is the mystical and elusive element, which most group efforts fail to sustain because the human being is in the midst of an evolutionary crisis. This crisis is in the transition from individual ego, which is seen in powerful leaders, to the sense of team or WeGo. By WeGo I mean the effective pair within the double circle operating for the good of both circles. One might critique this to say the pairs can simply begin to act as just another overpowering ego. However, this pairing floats from individual to individual so that the pairing is constantly in flux.  So each person develops a skill to deal with those people he or she may think they are incompatible with by having to change pairing frequently. Each person learns to love what works; passing effortlessly from individual ego to the WeGo state of mind no matter what each person thought of the other’s

personality beforehand. Can we move to a personality of the pair casting aside the sharp edges of each other’s personality?
