Session Summary

Council Track:

The Politics of Peace

Session Title:

Inclusivity and Spirituality and their place in politics


We discussed our various pathways to the Unity Consciousness. The science or spirit pathways to that Truth don't matter. There is a sense of approaching a Tipping Point individually and collectively in accepting this Truth. Safety & inclusivity can go together. Sharing our unity stories can help spread the principle. We shall identify ways to define ourselves without the need for an "other" to triangulate against5. There was a sense that using Oneness as a political decision-maker will simplify the voting process. We noted that the activities that can bring out Unity awareness can also spin into fear.
