It has seemed to me that there may be an underlying thread connecting all of these movements. Think of OWS/ArabSpring/Etc. as an effect - actually effect with variations. Might there be a common, underlying "cause"? I offer that the cause may very well fall in the category of "spiritual", defining spiritual thus: "All work becomes spiritual when rightly motivated, when wise discrimination is employed and soul power is added to the knowledge gained in the three worlds."( Esoteric Healing) The problem with corporations is that they are man-created, thus not imbued with soul, i.e. soulless - essentially incapable of soul response. Yet people are the very elements of OWS/ArabSpring/Etc movement. Since, according to most religious & spiritual teachings, humans have souls, then such a movement can be responsive en masse to "soul power" if right motivation and wise discrimination is used. The critical key to right motivation and wise discrimination - thus evoking soul power - is the active use of goodwill, defined as "love in action." With active goodwill - more deeply defined as "the will-to-good" - as the touchstone of all who would "lead by contribution and example", any available spiritual energies get channelled and focused upon a positive outcome. This "group channel" for active goodwill should be powerful - perhaps the most powerful "tool" of the movement. Perhaps the One Soul of Humanity is stirring.

i think that not all humans are souled beings. its not about whether you're black, white, asian...its about having conscience. those in power cannot acquire all that power unless they're full blown, maniacal psychopaths. they are the predators, and they need to be recognized as such.

I would give all humans the benefit of "starting out with a soul," as I believe that all the spiritual and religious traditions cannot be too far off the mark. The issue, which involves free will, is the degree to which one chooses to respond to or be sensitive to or express one's soul. It is a choice. The issue with corporations is that they inherently cannot have a soul, as they are man-made. And "soul" is just a higher level of consciousness (albeit first felt as "conscience" - the "still small voice" of Pinochhio.
