Who are we? Are we cogs in a machine whose very movements and thoughts are to be programmed and controlled by a State? Can what benefits the larger business playing-field be taken as law in determining how the individual should conduct herself or himself in life? Is that the meaning of this fantastic world-journey that we are all on together? Perhaps the on-going interchange between Google and China brings this into light. Perhaps these are representative of two fractals that are now locked in embrace. In our next episode, the Person Pattern, we will explore this very question and address the psychology of a person from the sun-marked physical-vital-mental pattern that we had positioned as the underlying pattern of sustainable progress. Tune in to explore these questions in more depth.

This is the premier episode in a 13-week series on Connecting Inner Power with Global Change. It will introduce the reason, relevance, and structure of the show. It will also introduce the 'pattern' that is the key to connecting inner power with global change and that will be explored in much greater detail in the subsequent shows. Pravir Malik will dialog with Dan Henkle, SVP Global Responsibility, The Gap, to establish the connection between personal perceptions and behaviors and vaster corporate, social, and environmental impacts.
