Powerless and Powerful Identities

Hegemony and Supreme Power

From: The Power Manual

$1.10

Powerless and Powerful Identities, explores the space between Gramsci’s hegemony, the idea that the very acceptance of power as dominance renders one powerless, and the philosophy of Supreme Power outlined in the ancient Shiva Sutras. It overlaps dominant power (hegemony) and liberatory power (one’s inherent Supreme Power) and reiterates the assurance that power is something that we practice and develop, and is a priori available to us by virtue of being a conscious being.
