You can find the full three-part discussion here.

Ken and Corey explore the three different kinds of power, each a product of particular stages of development in both individuals and collectives. Ken explores the different kinds of power associated with each chakra in our interiors, and Corey notes that the same patterns can be seen in the different modes of power associate with social holons, such as the hierarchy suggested by Robb Smith:

  • Power to protect & kill
  • Power to expel
  • Power to sanction
  • Power to reason
  • Power to contract
  • Power to convene
  • Power to integrate

Finally, Ken suggests a very simple practice to help us manage our personal power, and to help ensure that our own expressions of power are coming from the very highest stages available to us.
