Overview
In this essay, I look at the rise of Global Techno-Feudal Brahmanism and its dissociated relationship with the social body and earth. I offer thoughts on individual practices and collective reform I perceive as necessary to overcome the chronic deterioration of basic universal human rights, and cultivate a sustainable society capable of supporting deep practice and progress.
