Thank you for speaking about this. Liminals can be hard to organize by definition.
I recall Audre Lorde: "For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." Many of us come to think of money as "the master's tool." How to engage with the energies of Moloch without further empowering Moloch? Is it conceivable to tap into Moloch energy to create a space in which to challenge or mitigate the influences of Moloch, but it requires an inner discipline and a tolerance for working with a messy mix of energies, a willingness to work "across the aisle" with people/groups/energies we may think are at odds with our causes.
Can Frodo use the ring to help destroy the ring? Do we need to complicate these common notions and narratives around power?
Tough stuff. But thank you for helping us be able to think in and frame these matters so we can engage with them.
