   <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v596/__show_article/_a000596-000001.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://newciv.org/pic/nl/artpic-sm/596/000596-000001.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Category: Articles&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;20&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;  alt=&quot;picture&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This article is several pages long, so I&#039;ve only posted a page or so here. There&#039;s a link at the end, if you want to read the rest.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For this post, I&#039;ve edited out a few political paragraphs. (The edited paragraphs are available in the main text.) They present a very simplified view of a couple political systems, and the examples given are for demonstrating the &lt;i&gt;principle&lt;/i&gt; only. They are used mainly as a precursor to the metaphysical realities behind what makes all systems tick, whether they&#039;re our systems of politics, religion, philosophy, justice, and even (or especially) for those that govern our interpersonal relationships and how we deal with ourselves.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In any case, I hope you enjoy it. I&#039;ve included several tools, which are in line with the theme, that have helped me stay centered and present. In these uncertain times, it&#039;s good to have some grounding techniques or ways to be &quot;in the world but not of it.&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;https://newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v596/__show_article/_a000596-000001.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
