Who will be dominant and/or in control --- in terms of the existing rules and regulations about how power can be acquired, concentrated, exercised, kept, etc. 2.What will be the approved territories, domains and realms of the exercise of (and the concentration of) power. 3. What will be the limitations placed upon the concentration of power --- and the means by which power may be concentrated and exercised. 4. Who will be the beneficiaries of, and the victims of, the exercise of power. 5. Who will be excluded from the exercise of power and influence; and who will be included in the exercise of power and influence. That there might be fundamentally other kinds of questions and issues is beyond the realm of imagination of domineering people. The initiators of the major religious traditions have, however, demonstrated that it is possible to understand the limitations of the above very limited realms of framing and asking questions; e.g., by demonstrating that: 1. It is possible to let go of preoccupations with domination, controls and concentrations of power --- and thereby open up wonderful possibilities for mutual understanding, dialogue and cooperation. 2. It is possible to understand, transcend and subvert "The Powers That Be" in the service of "The Domination System" --- doing so in ways that rob them of their power to create fear, confusion, anxiety, impotence and misunderstanding. 3. That it is possible to transcend the powers of domineering servants of "The Domination System" --- without becoming like the supporters of "The Domination System"; i.e., without surrendering to and internalizing their: assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, convictions, fears, anxieties, paradigms and systems for trying to be invulnerable to all other servants of "The Domination System". 4. That liberation from "The Domination System" entails willing to be servants of (and to sacrifice to improve the lot of) those who would dominate us, control us, use us, and take advantage of us. This must be done without becoming like them in how they dishonestly and unilaterally try to achieve what they regard as "favorable" goals from their provincial points of view. 5. The above cannot be done without reversing a great may assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, convictions, fears, anxieties, paradigms and systems --- for trying to be secure at other people's expense. The new ways do not make sense from the perspective of the people trapped in the old ways. People living in the new ways can look back and understand how and why the old ways appeared to make sense --- even though they inevitably lead to both personal and communal: disintegrations, dis-ease, disease, sickness, dying and death on the part of domineering people who are always and forever living-in-hell.
