Description

One Mandate, Two Worldviews, Seven Generations offers both a diagnosis and a direction for healing. It exposes the worldview assumptions about power, humanity, truth, and our relationship to the natural world that Project 2025's Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise has put forth as the blueprint for Trump's administration and its goal to permanently reshape the United States government and, by extension, the wider world. With complementarity in mind, the author systematically identifies the worldview principles embedded throughout the Mandate, such as hierarchy over egalitarianism, an emphasis on rights over responsibility, and anthropocentrism over kincentrism, reflected in direct quotes from the document itself. The result is simultaneously a rigorous analysis of the ideological architecture behind Project 2025 and an invitation to imagine governance, education, law, and relationships through a fundamentally different lens at a moment when the dominant worldview is accelerating toward ecological and social collapse, and an alternative has never been more urgently needed.

Reviews

"Having known and valued Four Arrows (Don Jacobs) for over 3 decades, I can attest that his 28 previous books, important talks, celebrated teaching, and now One Mandate, Two Worldviews, Seven Generations are exactly the antidote and way forward and backward (to primal wisdom) so needed within a world of increasing darkness. He is unafraid to pinpoint how the inflating paradigm of hyper-materialism and separateness (from Spirit and Nature) have devolved into the vision of the Heritage Foundation within the era of Trump, Putin, Xi, Kim, and other authoritarian conquistadors. I strongly recommend this book and its map for planet Earth's regeneration. Four Arrows has always called for understanding the "kinship with all life” understanding so prominent in our (ab)original roots. He has long promoted the requirement for having appreciation of our oneness with each other and all species. He reveals the path for restorative balance and providing the healing alternative to the voices of separation and what might be called apartheid consciousness. In my view, it is important not only to read this book, but also to apply it ... as he has done. It is obvious that time has run out unless there is both a turning and returning."
