THE
COMPASSIONATE REVOLUTION
I was
initiated into Revolutionary consciousness when I was 10 or 11 years old.
Over the
decades, I learned about and considered many Revolutionary paths that held out
the promise of Freedom and a better Future.
I tried
a few of them on for size and each has merits.
But none
of them have brought about The Revolution.
All of
the paths presupposed that we must struggle somehow from a one (or two or
three) down position. Something always seemed wrong about that to me.
And then
one day I looked at a photo of Binyamin Netanyahu and a wave of pity overtook
me. He looked so pressed, so artificial, so controlled.
But pity
too didn't feel right. I don't want to pity anyone.
And then
I came upon it: COMPASSION.
The way
to Revolution is to feel genuine Compassion for the people who are buried in
the gross materialism, negative emotions, intrigue, power struggles, illusions
and delusions, deceptions within deceptions of "power".
What a
terrible place to be in!
How
awful it must be to carry heavy burdens like that all the time. How awful it must be to have to manufacture a
world of lies that can come down at any minute like a house of cards.
The
collective message we should be sending them is: You don't have to do that. You
can take off the armor. You can discover who you really are. You can allow
yourself time to smell the flowers. You can be Human.
They are
terrified to let go. It will not help to make them more afraid by calling for
retribution and punishment. They have to make amends, yes. But of what avail is
frightening people who think they have no Soul with punishment?
They
suffer horrifically and should be offered a safe place to come out of hiding
into in which they can find the Souls they are quite sure they sold long ago.
Their hope that they can be redeemed needs to be restored.
If
anything will bring about The Revolution we
hope for, it is to look upon their suffering with true Compassion. It is worth
the try.
Nothing else throughout the history of enslavement has worked.
