Unfortunately, having power has a negative connotation. Power, or I prefer holistic energy, can be a great thing if kept in a well-intentioned holistic context. I learned in school that holistic energy is getting something (hopefully well-intentioned) done. In the right context, power can be a great thing. However, we have been evolving down a road where power is the ability to ultra-compete, over-top, control, dominate, subservientize, enslave, or imprison (real or imagined) a perceived threat or someone that has something that is desired by non-well-intentioned forces. In some circumstances, complete chaos is created in people’s lives when those in power are somehow threatened by either new ideas or those who have more love in their hearts than they do. Everything, including the kitchen sink, gets thrown at them with the intent to kill or injure to such a degree that they will not survive, literally or figuratively. It depends on all the organizational motivations. Organizational motivation depends on the actual composition of the motivations of people that make up an organization because, after all, organizations do not create their behavior. However, through static rules, laws, and procedures, many bad habits are passed on throughout time. Whether you are an illicit organization, a relatively public one, or somewhere in between, you all really are what you are, nothing more, nothing less. However, I do believe that all people in organizations ought to be looked at as their potential to be well-intentioned contributing individuals. We ought to give people the opportunity to change their ways. However, we cannot put people in the same proximity along the continuum as far as assessment goes with people who have worked hard their whole lives to be well-intentioned, loving, and caring people who have great intentions to help people and our environment. I call it “when you got your light turned on” or when you realize that I am not kidding about transforming planet Earth into a sustainable, striving planet Earth. Getting your light turned on means the realization that all the well-intentioned people on this planet will transform it into how things should be sustainable striving planet Earth. Therefore, you either transform yourself or swim against a torrent of kindness. I have often said that it is not all your fault, but sooner or later, we must say enough is enough. The Earth, as well as many individuals, are suffering. We must take back our planet from the non-well-intentioned forces in a holistic, well-intentioned way, not through war or dominance but through leadership and knowledge, as well as putting things in context with everything else, as I have mentioned several times before. I have such optimism for us Earthlings. Let us all work together and help all the individuals in all organizations (mobbish or otherwise) transform. However, some people may have to go to hospitals locked or otherwise because they need help. Let us pray for them and hope for a speedy recovery because we eventually need everyone working together in a holistic, well-intentioned, sustainable striving way. The world without end…
