“Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.” - Carl Jung
POLITICS: "4Ps": Jeffersonian/ Carl Jung individualism; "natural rights". POWER, distrust it… let ideas, individuality flourish — free-minds & free-speech … POLITICS, redirect it… toward systems for self-determination, encouraging self-reliance, self-expression, and self-knowledge (e.g., “free markets”, “spontaneous order”, “active destruction”, “individuation”/”creative imagination”)… PERSUASION, pursue it… via self-learning: thoughtful listening, questioning, understanding … POSITIVE, build on it… tapping strengths to overcome weaknesses; cultivating a genuine sense of gratitude; disregarding small-minded, short-term ego to always favor long-term (big) true-self picture.
“This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual humanis the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for:the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or governmentwhich limits or destroys the individual.” -- John Steinbeck
