Now, if all these ideas are not radical enough, here is another suggestion. With all the problems we have had with the public schools, why not consider something that has never been tried before: neighborhood control of public elementary schools. This radical decentralization will encourage neighbors to get to know one another well as they determine their own educational philosophy and school curriculum. I have elaborated on this in other articles.
Even if every nation creates the ideal democratic government as described here, it is not enough if people are not transformed on the inside. Though the world is seemingly on a fast-track path to self-destruction, there is a unitive, indescribable Love at the core, in the deepest part of each of us, that we can access--even right now. Even people who are spiritual but not religious are able to discover this mystical, nondual truth by doing meditation. Hallucinogenic plants for some individuals may also be a temporary tool for psychological self-understanding.
Meditation as a discipline can change one's mind and heart. Some people instead focus more on selfless giving to help others whenever possible. These two approaches can enhance each other. The spiritual is political, and the political is spiritual. To create world peace, nurtured by love, politically-oriented individuals must become spiritual, and all the spiritual seekers must become political.
