“Definitely an awesome, new way of looking at the world and highly recommend as a way of developing the self. Hopefully others will be able to see the difference this course has made in my life.”
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose.
And one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites – polar opposites- so that love is identified with a resignation of power and power with a denial of love.
We have got to get this thing right.
What is needed is a realisation that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anaemic.
Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
It is precisely this collision of immoral power with powerless morality which constitutes the major crisis of our time.
Martin Luther King Jnr (1967)
