Oneness is not like Democracy, Elusive. Oneness is everywhere to be seen, Democracy is nowhere to be seen.

You need to see the forum discussion to understand how elusive and challenging even oneness/non-duality can be .

Conquests there are many, power lusts and delusion are great here on earth but they are insubstantial as compared to oneness. Actually they are much less than insubstantial and yet we remain imprisoned to them. Step outside what remains ?

Democracy as the spirit of ruling authority working for the smaller people welfare and upliftment as propounded by the likes of Lincoln and Cromewell is great and supreme . There can not be doubt that it is even with oneness nature of reality .
However operationally over a period of time it is experience that it deviates from this spirit and is more focused to majority / minority, debates without action , media manipulation, lobbies , limited foresight (just enough for current rule), elections etc with sole attention and effort spent on all these with little time and energy left for real spirit of the democracy (working for the benefit of people) . And onlooker can easily observe it system 'by few for the few and of the few" . This needs reform according to me .
On the contrary we may see where democracy is not there as a system/method of governance but it is still present as a guiding principle of governance , it has succeeded greatly because its just the way how reality works and supports its working . It (reality) is not slave of concepts and ideologies especially if its not in consonance with its own working methodology.
