The Elective Powers and the Adversaries?

It is much easier to be the saint of many when the many are preoccupied with fighting each other.

Your adversary also aims to be at the heights of your position. It is an issue that there is only one position for many. If the advesaries who are supposedly at the behest of the people find a way to divide the people, then the adversaries can focus on fighting each other for the limited positions of power. The idea is that the adversaries also have to respect or at least appear to respect the boundaries of power that the people had agreed upon. Here people can then become pawns of the greater battle.

Do not be fooled, though the people are pawns they are essentially the foundation of the system that the adversaries must adhere to. They posses elective powers but they do not possess direct access to power. In a way this is a way to protect the system. On the contrary, this is also a way to deter the system should the system act against the people. The issue is that the adversaries have acknowledged this dynamic and have learned to deter the powers of the people, all the while they allow the people to believe or even forget that they are the true bearers of power. Should you be the people you ought to unite and act upon your powers. “This may seem like an effective and direct threat to the adversaries, but remember, disenfranchisement of the people is a power that the adversaries have acknowlegded and have effectively utilized against the elective power bearers.

The elective powers fight against their fellow elective power bearers on matters that distinguish them against one another, some see themselves as superior, as more effective, and ultimately superior. With this view they forget that collectively they have the power to deter the adversaries. Instead, they adhere to the will of the adversaries since, the adversaries have positioned themselves as their allies, all the while they have aimed to position the elective powers against their fellow elective power bearers in order to remain in their positions of power. For the adversaries their position is more important than unity, more important than the elective powers. And remember, the elective powers are the basis of the powers that the adversaries have.

Change is a minimized power that the elective powers chose. Change deters all, including the elective powers, the adversaries, and all that which threatens to harm the elective system. For we must not forget that though the elective powers may conflict with the adversaries, they both belong to one system, a system that wishes to deter excessive power and promote unity and an effective governance over the elected system, which includes the elective powers and the adversaries.
