Remembering who we are to transform how we govern
We bring the spiritual and the political together: for peace, collective healing, trust-building, human flourishing and care for Mother Earth.
A dance between the “I” and the “We”
Politics is a mirror of a society's spiritual maturity. Spirituality is a personal path to political maturity. Power and governance are what the two have in common, at every level of life: in families and friendships, in communities, in nations and between them.
The “I”
- Self-inquiry and self-knowledge
- Self-awareness and self-realization
- A quest for truth and purpose
The “We”
- Norms, laws and institutions
- Conflict, diplomacy and democracy
- Culture and government
“the power of wisdom and love in action”
Andrew Harvey, on sacred activism
How is your political being expressed?
What if taking part in collective life could be a source of meaning, dignity and even bliss? Together with Being at Full Potential, we are exploring this through the Human Potential House: four ways of being, 23 dimensions, already used by thousands of people.
Many of its dimensions are political at heart. How aware we are of society. Whether we lean on trust or on control. Whether we serve the greater good.
Being Aware
Seeing yourself, the other and society clearly.
Being Inspired
Imagining new ways to govern together.
Being Abundant
Sharing power: trust over control, collaboration over competition.
Being in Service
Politics as service to the greater good.
A three-year participatory research project
Led by the Spiritual Politics Lab with Being at Full Potential, between Mexico and Switzerland. We are in the first year, and we invite people and communities to take part and shape the instrument with us.
Four ways the work comes alive
