Inner Freedom is a Social Responsibility; Why I do What I do

"Because the source of human conflict, social injustice, and exploitation is in the human psyche, we must begin there to transform society. We investigate the mind, the human psyche, not as an end in itself, as a self-centered activity, but as an act of compassion for the whole human race. We must move deep to the source of decay in society so that the new structures and social systems we design will have a sufficiently healthy root system that they will have an opportunity to flourish. The structures of society need to be transformed, but the hidden motivations and assumptions on which the structures rest need to be transformed as well. The individual & collective values and motives that give sanction to the injustice and exploitation of modern society must become the focus of change as much as the socioeconomic & political structures. We no longer will be able to allow the motivations and values that underlie personal and collective behavior to remain hidden & unexamined. It serves no lasting purpose for us to change the surface structures and behaviors while the deep foundations remain decadent & unsound."
