“It is not Kings and Generals who Change History. It is the Masses of the People.”

The age of top-heavy centralised government is past, though national governments seem not to recognise this. It is at the level of community that issues of employment, social and spiritual need, education, health, regional planning, and relationship with the environment are met and worked through. And it is at this level that local needs ought to be able to be quickly intuited and addressed in ways which align each community with the divine Plan.

What we need at a local level, therefore, as much as at national and international levels, are leadership teams with:

• Spiritual vision and insight, along with an understanding of what it takes to create community

• Great sensitivity to the multi-layered evolutionary needs of the community as a whole – with special emphasis on the young, and currently disempowered

• Powerful incorporation of both youth and wise elders as visionaries for the community

• A strong commitment to the fostering of right relation and right power within every community, as well as right relationship with the wider national and global community

• Commitment to right relation and real partnership with the environment

• The creativity and drive to make decisions which will empower every member of the community, as well as calling forth from each one of them a deep sense of participation, commitment, responsibility and accountability
