Obedience to Authority, rEvolution and Anarchy of Heart
Edited on Tue Oct-11-11 05:49 PM by tama
Know thyself, said Socrates.

Good teachers advice us that simply by becoming conscious of our mental mechanisms we can deconstruct them. Many of us are already conscious of the Milgram experiments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment; http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/12/19/in-repeat-of-milgrams-electric-shock-experiment-people-still-pull-the-lever/) and what they tell us about current state of humanity. Still 70% pull the lever, experiments in "reality" TV can degrade the results up to 80%.

In ancient Rome "civilized" people, civi Romani, took their children to see crucifications and entertained themselves in massacres and tortures called gladiator games, to desensitize themselves and to condition themselves to obedience to authority. We have television etc. to keep us conditioned into mass psychosis and most skillful and effective psychological manipulators of propaganda industry of advertising and entertainment of desensitizing conditioning ever. And STILL 30%-20% refuse to obey the voice of authority and follow their heart.

We are all free at heart, and deep down we hurt when the Voice of Authority tells us to hurt others and we obey. We develop feelings of guilt and fear and other emotional blocks because of acting against our conscience, and by becoming conscious of our emotional blocks we can become free of them.

I believe this is the trues meaning of our 99% rEvolution. I believe deep down 99,999...% of us want to evolve compassion and self confidence that refuses to obey the voices of authority that divides us and orders us to hurt each other. I believe this movement of civil disobedience can be the turning point that leads to the "end game" of rest of the 99,999...% joining the third or fifth who would already refuse to pull the lever in Milgram experiment. Spiritual and political rEvolution of Anarchy of Heart that can be also measured scientifically. Mind and Heart coming together.

As Aristotle said, what is possible will happen. Yes we can <3
