Before our totalitarian style of agriculture emerged, there were many styles of agriculture all over the world that focused on getting what you needed to live and nothing more. It also brought with it deeply imbalanced power structures, great human suffering, and myriad other problems. This process has continued and worsened up until the present moment. The Law, when followed, insures a successful, sustainable place in the community of life, and because we have rejected it, our place in the biological community is notably unsuccessful and unsustainable. Leavers leave the decision about what is right and wrong, good and bad in the hands of natural processes.
Takers take the judgement into their own hands.
By acknowledging The Great Forgetting and the history and pervasive nature of Taker culture, we are able to know that there is nothing inherent in humankind that dictates the necessary existence or continuation of our problems. We can successfully address each and every modern problem on any scale with this new perspective and the understanding that we don't need to fix humanity, we just need to fix our Taker culture. If we do not acknowledge and accept this fact, our world will not survive itself. This newfound perspective is most effective when explored and applied at the individual level. Because the causes of human suffering are so deeply a part of our individual lives, the change that is necessary will emerge from the conscious changes made in our individual lives as well as the decisions we make as communities.
