A Philosophy of Empowerment

by G.E. Nordell

            If climate change (global warming, drought, coastal flooding, et al) doesn't wipe out human civilization here on Planet Earth, then Mankind's collective willful ignorance and superstition and epidemic irresponsibility is perfectly capable of achieving that result.

            The clock is ticking in the background, nearer and nearer to an existential Midnight. Without widespread intervention at all levels – from personal to societal to ecological – the species home sapiens will be extinct in thirty years.

Developing a Working Mind might save Civilization, or just a small portion that includes you. The empowering practices detailed here will benefit any and all who practice them, while Civilization continues to thrive or stumble along – or until Civilization collapses anyway.

            This is the moment of Choice: You move forward, join the parade, roll up your proverbial sleeves and get to work OR you try to avoid and then fend off the next Bad News that most certainly awaits you.

            It is really quite simple:
