dc.description.abstractDr. R. Michael Fisher, educator-fearologist, founder and teacher of the School of Sacred Warriorship in the early-to mid-1990s, and many other ventures, talks about the current state of cascading "collapse" of the economic, environmental and social spheres, with implications for the psychic collapse that's also inevitable as extreme conditions of fragility affect everyone, more or less, and sooner or later. He provides several important theories and experiences of how to better understand crises, how to encourage great courage and more importantly fearlessness...and really it is not a very useful question to ask: "How Afraid Should We Be?" Although, that question is a beginning probe into better understanding the path he promotes. This video is a companion to "The Great Citizen" video recently made by Dr. Fisher, so watching both together gives a better balance to his views on the political sphere, and both videos shape a picture of how he is entering politics for the next 10 years (at least)--of which community-building is a core part of his agenda. The Great Citizen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE7jq... He has lots of experience in community, in diverse communities from the human potential, organic alternative, wellness, therapeutic to liberation communities. He understands the depths of both compassion and wisdom philosophically and through personal experiences. Currently he is teaching his L.E.T. program in the everyday communities of Calgary, AB as a pilot project to engage citizens to take charge of their own lives and the future in a much better way. He proposes in this video on the "Great Collapse" a new type of labor force, to deeply adapt to the challenging and terrifying world we are heading into--coming to face the edge of the cliff. What choices and strategies will we choose?
