King Rolf Krake of pre-Viking Denmark and Emperor Ram of ancient India were separated by thousands of years and vast distances, yet they shared a remarkably similar approach to governance-one ruling a small kingdom, the other a vast empire. Both employed a system known as the Profond-a non-bureaucratic, highly effective form of rule based on oral communication, shared values, and well-defined social roles. In such a society, everyone knew their place and responsibilities, eliminating the need for excessive regulation and control. Governance happened in a balanced, almost automatic manner. The Profond is essential for good leadership; it aligns human society with the natural order.
This book explores societies built on Natural Law and compares them with human-made systems, from the smallest communities to the largest empires. It draws upon ancient models to offer insights for the present and future. Rich with imagery-humorous, dramatic, eye-opening, and even poetic-it inspires a rethinking of how we live and lead.
