Who Are “They”? Unmasking the Mis-I-dentification of the Elites


In conversations about the world’s problems, we often hear about “they”—the elites, billionaires, and mind corrupters who seem to hold power over the masses. But who are “they,” really? It’s easy to view them as a separate, almost inhuman class, but in reality, “they” are simply people who have made a fundamental misidentification of self.

These individuals have often confused true abundance with greed. Instead of aligning with the infinite potential of the cosmic “I,” they have identified with the narrow, fear-driven pursuit of wealth and control. This mis-I-dentification leads them to believe that their worth is tied to material success, and it drives them to accumulate more at the expense of others.

The real issue lies not in the wealth itself, but in the mindset. When individuals identify with greed, they operate from a place of scarcity, seeing resources as limited and life as a zero-sum game. In contrast, those who identify with abundance recognize the limitless potential within and around them. They understand that true wealth is not about hoarding resources, but about creating and sharing in ways that uplift everyone.

“They” are not inherently different from the rest of us; they are simply caught in a cycle of misidentification, one that many of us may also fall into in subtler ways. By understanding this, we can shift our focus from blaming and resenting “them” to addressing the root of the problem: the misidentification with greed and the disconnection from true abundance.

The path forward involves reconnecting with the infinite nature of the cosmic “I” and fostering a mindset of abundance. By doing so, we can not only transform our own lives but also create a ripple effect that encourages others—including “them”—to do the same. When we recognize our shared humanity and the limitless potential within each of us, we begin to dissolve the barriers that divide us, leading to a more equitable and harmonious world.


Subjective Objective: A Comprehensive Re-View of ‘I’ in Every Level of Government


Objective:
To thoroughly re-examine the concept of “I” at every level of government, from the individual to the institutional, with the aim of identifying and implementing improvements that align with the principles of transparency, accountability, and the common good.

Approach:

  1. Subjective Re-View:
  • Start by evaluating the personal “I”—the individuals who serve within government sectors. Assess their motivations, biases, and the alignment of their actions with public service ethics. Encourage self-awareness and introspection to ensure that personal interests do not overshadow the collective needs.
  1. Objective Re-View:
  • Shift focus to the structural “I”—the systems, policies, and procedures that shape government operations. Analyze these elements for inefficiencies, corruption, and gaps in accountability. Identify areas where processes can be streamlined or reformed to better serve the public.
  1. Holistic Integration:
  • Merge subjective insights with objective findings to create a comprehensive improvement plan. This plan should foster a culture of continuous self-improvement within government, where every “I”—from the individual to the institutional—contributes to the overall health and efficacy of governance.
  1. Implementation & Accountability:
  • Develop clear, actionable steps for implementing identified improvements. Establish accountability measures to ensure that changes are effectively executed and that the re-view process becomes an ongoing practice rather than a one-time event.

Outcome:
By conducting a thorough re-view of “I” at every level of government, we aim to create a more transparent, responsive, and ethical government that truly serves the people. This process will not only enhance individual and institutional performance but also restore public trust in the governmental system.

Why?

  • Enhanced Accountability:
    • Why It Helps: By encouraging individuals within the government to self-reflect on their motivations and actions (subjective re-view), they become more aware of how their personal biases or interests might impact their decisions. This self-awareness fosters a greater sense of responsibility and accountability, leading to more ethical and transparent governance.
  • Improved Efficiency and Effectiveness:
    • Why It Helps: The objective re-view focuses on analyzing the structural “I”—the systems, policies, and procedures that govern operations. By identifying inefficiencies, outdated practices, and areas of corruption, the re-view process allows for the implementation of more effective and streamlined processes. This leads to better service delivery and a more responsive government.
  • Prevention of Corruption and Abuse of Power:
    • Why It Helps: Regularly re-examining both individual and institutional behaviors can help identify patterns of corruption or abuse of power before they become systemic issues. Implementing changes based on these re-views reduces the likelihood of unethical practices taking root, promoting a healthier, more just governance structure.
  • Restoration of Public Trust:
    • Why It Helps: When government officials and institutions are seen to be actively engaged in self-improvement and accountability, public trust is strengthened. Citizens are more likely to trust a government that is transparent about its shortcomings and proactive in addressing them. This trust is crucial for maintaining social cohesion and cooperation between the public and the government.
  • Continuous Improvement Culture:
    • Why It Helps: Making the re-view process an ongoing practice rather than a one-time event fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the government. This culture encourages innovation, adaptability, and responsiveness to changing societal needs, ensuring that the government remains effective and relevant.
  • Aligning with the Public Good:
    • Why It Helps: The ultimate goal of any government should be to serve the public good. By regularly re-viewing and aligning both the subjective “I” of individuals and the objective “I” of institutions with this goal, the government ensures that its actions are in the best interests of the people it serves. This alignment helps create policies and practices that genuinely benefit society as a whole.
  • Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape:
    • Why It Helps: An objective re-view can uncover unnecessary bureaucratic procedures that slow down decision-making and service delivery. Streamlining these processes makes the government more agile and responsive, reducing frustration for both citizens and employees.
  • Encouraging Ethical Leadership:
    • Why It Helps: Leaders who regularly engage in subjective re-view are more likely to act with integrity and moral clarity. Ethical leadership sets the tone for the entire organization, promoting a culture of honesty and fairness that permeates all levels of government.

In summary, this comprehensive re-view approach helps by creating a more accountable, efficient, and trustworthy government. It ensures that both individuals and institutions are continuously aligning their actions with the public good, fostering a government that is more effective in meeting the needs of its citizens.
