Are we losing sight of what makes us human?
In the first chapter of my book, The Mandala of the New Humanity, I pose a premise that resonates with me today more than ever:
The present moment is not an end nor an answer; it is the precise point where we decide how to inhabit what is to come.”
Looking at this time demands a lucid reading. We live in an acceleration without awareness, an evident climate crisis, and an erosion of meaning that leaves us vulnerable, but what is most worrying is what I call critical numbness, that disconnection that coexists with information overload and makes us delegate our responsibility.
As I explain in the pages of this chapter, my political training has always been my compass; it taught me to read between the lines and to understand that power does not disappear, it is only reconfigured. Today it shifts toward data, algorithms, and large corporations, redefining what is “valuable” while the basic consensuses of human dignity begin to crumble.
However, not everything is fragility. The subtitle of my work, "The Rise of Our True Power," is indeed a direct invitation to OPEN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS. We possess real human capabilities, historical memory, creativity, and an emerging ethic that is beginning to take root in new forms of organization and regenerative economies.
I wrote this book not to alarm or to offer false reassurance, but to invite us to observe everyday events and ask ourselves: What kind of life are we sustaining with our decisions today?
The system's scales are not balanced, but the scenario is not static. The future is decided by how we choose to inhabit this present.
