The military exists as an executive power with the purpose of protecting and defending a nation, its resources, people and borders. In coherence herewith Wikipedia defines the military as “an organization authorized by its greater society to use lethal force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country by combating actual or perceived threats. The military may have additional functions of use to its greater society, such as advancing a political agenda e.g. military junta, supporting or promoting economic expansion through imperialism, and as a form of internal social control.”
And therefore it is of vital importance that we start tugging in the threads that apparently keep our society together – because what we will find at the other end of this web of societal threads, is a neatly woven veil that we’ve solemnly knitted to fit over our own eyes so that we wouldn’t have to see or recognize ourselves in the face of each other, as the face of the world. Have a look now: what do you see? Who do you see?
At Desteni we’re presenting two solutions – one directed towards changing our world systems and the bullying and abuse taking place at a global level. This is the Guaranteed Living Income System. We are also sharing a process that we as a group and individually have decided to walk, to become dignified, trustworthy and caring human beings, through getting to know and understand how our minds work and how we’ve become who we are today, so that we can stand up and change. This is called the Desteni I Process.
