Wise Leaders

​
Never in American history have we possessed so much information, yet so little wisdom. While brilliant minds abound, our leadership has become self-consumed—defined by intellectual dishonesty and emotional fragility. 

To avert systemic collapse, we must demand a fundamental shift in how we lead.
​True leadership applies experience and public service to guide others toward the common good, prioritizing long-term sustainability over short-term authority. This requires the self-regulation to curb impulsive biases, the relational wisdom to bridge deep divides, and the organizational capacity to manage complexity without resorting to authoritarian control. The consequences of autocratic leadership are always disastrous.
​
Today, our economic and ecological trajectories threaten future generations. We are drifting toward bankruptcy, spending massive portions of our revenue just to service our debt. Technological silver bullets like AI will not save us; we cannot simply invent our way out of structural decay.
​
Cultivating collective wisdom requires the courage to face our failures. We must choose to add value rather than subtract from it, contributing to the greater good before time runs out.

Patriotism on Trial

Image
At my fiftieth high school reunion last weekend, I reunited with the son of Senator Frank Church. In 1971, I had the honor of interviewing Senator Church—the statesman who dared to expose the CIA’s abuses of power. A decade later, I testified before Congress myself.   Over the years, I have spoken at every level of government because I believe in the process of lawmaking—and in the sacred duty of citizens to speak truth to power.   Today, that duty is under siege. Peaceful protesters are being met with indictments, intimidation, and even the deployment of the National Guard in our cities. The irony is bitter: James Comey’s actions helped Donald Trump ascend to the presidency, yet Trump now cries “insurrection” in Democratic strongholds—while failing to defend the Capitol itself, where police officers were killed and injured.   We are drifting into a Brave New World of doublespeak, where dissent is branded as danger and patriotism is twisted into...

Regain — Thanks to Our Earth

Image
We come from the Earth, and to it we shall return.  Let us remember this enduring truth: how we live matters. We stand at a critical crossroad.  Does the land belong to us?   Indigenous wisdom says otherwise: we belong to the land. Through neglect, we’ve rendered vast regions uninhabitable for countless beings.  What must we do to ensure the survival of all life?   Our ancestors left us a legacy—wisdom etched in ritual and reverence.  Interdependence is not a choice; it is the foundation of life.  Everything is connected. Let us celebrate this truth through art, music, dance, song, and ritual Expressions of gratitude for the world that sustains us.  Without them, our despair deepens. Let us honor our ancestors by planting seeds of hope.  By walking the four-fold path of renewal, we embody sacred archetypes: - 🌱 The Grateful Warrior: Uses power wisely—to show up with courage.   - 💖 The Compassionate Healer: Ex...

No Self

Image
The most difficult teaching in Buddhism, for me, has always been the concept of no self. You can call it the higher power, the Great Spirit, or being one with God. But this state—being fully present in the unified field—I’ve touched it many times, especially when I’m alone in the woods. No self is a meditation on impermanence. No fixed identity—nothing we can definitively point to and say, “This is me.” Doesn’t the self, paradoxically, deny its own existence? It challenges me to locate it in any one thing. So how do I navigate my world? By exercising my highest power. He’s always been a challenge—I call it my inner game. At times, a part of me lives in the ordinary, and a part of me dwells in this extraordinary field of awareness. I have a tremendous love affair with the wilderness. Being outside, surrounded by trees and silence, feels like coming home. But I grew up in an ego-driven society, where everyone’s chasing their own reflection. I got caught in the trap of overthi...
