8. One of our most important
tasks is building a Culture of
Resistance.
Cultures of Resistance are important for
many reasons - here are a few:
• They support radical views that
are unpopular in the general
culture
• They aid in training and development of
resistors
• They lead to the creation of
revolutionary and community
organizations
• They allow people with different levels of
engagement in political struggle to support
a movement
• They create space for dialogue
on important subjects
• They serve as the fertile
soil from which effective
resistance movements
grow.

9. Adult, psychologically &
morally mature humans
are corageous: able to
committ to their own
freely chosen principles.
consciousness >>
<< courage, integrity
The dominant
consumerist culture pulls
us strongly to stay
immature, frightened,
indecisive & egotistical.

10. • passionately care for
Life, and justice,
• are very clear about right &
wrong
• & who the enemy is,
• they display great
intelligence & creativity
in choosing effective
strategies,
•as well as enormous
courage in doing whatever
needs to be done to stop the
oppressors from destroying
more of what they love.
• Although they blow up plenty
of things & even kill people on
the way, it is very clear that
they are driven by love, not
hate.
Fighting for Justice REQUIRES Coherence
& apart from all the s/hero films..
we have some useful popular mythologies... eg.
'Indigo Adults' are all around us
also known as the
'Imaginal Cells' of the new world
What's very interesting about our (current cultural) confusion about activists ...
... is that we flock to movies full of s/heros who are passionate fighters for justice,
whom we admire and cheer on screen ... but then in our own real life we
don't recognize them, mis-understand them or even fight / damage them.

11. A paradigm changes
when the
contradictions
become too great
&/or evident...
... and there are
enough clear
activists organizing
effectively to bring in
the new Paradigm.
