I am very weary of anger and disgust.

Unfortunately, I feel these powerful emotions deep in my heart and my gut, looking at the way that our misled and misleaders are manifesting their 'dreams'.

Yet, I always feel most empowered and powerful when I redirect my anger, away from feelings of hatred and disgust, toward positive and compassionate action.

If we can counter our own negativity, we will leave the vicious rabid hyenas of the right cowering at our power.

Silence is sometimes louder than howling. However, we will not be cowed by hateful and scurrilous lies.

One of the most important questions is how to redirect the misled, to undermine the strategies and tactics of the misleaders, by reassuring those in fear (and greed or hoarding is just another form of fear), explaining to those confused, that our progressive goals are not to disempower the misled, but to welcome them into the community of conscious, aware and deliberate beings.

As progressives we need to practice constant self-examination: to best present our vision of human society built on a coherent resonance with the synergistic principles of nature. We need to speak with humility -- to walk the talk of co-operation and consensus -- even with those whose actions we cannot respect.

What is the three word 'bumper sticker' phrase that will turn people's heads, and trigger self-examination?

How can we communicate a world view which is not seen as always negative -- against the abuses of power -- but positive, constructive and engaging of the whole?

Conscious Deliberate Awareness is the key.
