The Inflection Point · Resuming the Civilization State

In the first conversation of Inflection Point, I was asked what my message would be. We’re at a very special time in history, and I call this an inflection point. We’re crossing a period of 500 years of colonialism, of neo-colonialism, a period in which the great civilizations on earth have been attacked, colonized, broken apart, placed against each other and dominated.

Circumstances today are changing that. What I see is a geopolitical realignment in which the divisions created during the colonial period are dissolving, and what is re-emerging is a resumption of the civilization state. This applies to Russia as it applies to India, to China, to Iran and to many other parts of the world. We’re not just talking about a political change; it’s a much bigger examination of what the resumption looks like in our culture, our institutions and our identities.

For many years my work has been an attempt to deconstruct the colonial point of view, in order to liberate the voices of the civilization itself, largely through speech and sacred speech. We are going back to a state of great civilizations, and it’s going to be the great civilizations that determine the path forward from here on.
