A Deeper Anarchy

Should I blame our world catastrophe on the Wall Street Bildburger CIA Monsanto Chemtrail Pentagon Conspiracy of the 1%, financed by Israeli Lobbyists at the Federal Reserve? Isn't it more simple and direct to root out the I who blames, rather than the many whom I blame?

Ramana Maharshi said, "Practice self-reform and social reform will happen by itself."

We've been struggling against corporate princedoms and powers, but this struggle is not enough. It is a superficial anarchy, and it is exhausting. A deeper anarchy is required. Anarchy comes from the Greek: an, against, archon, ruling power or first cause. The true an-archist overthrows the ruling power, the primal cause at the beginning of causation's chain.

In early Christian thought, the archons were not the physical rulers of this world: they were princes of the darkness within, the darkness of ignorance. St. Paul writes: "We struggle not against flesh and blood, but against archons, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in inner realms (literally,heavenly realms)." ~Ephesians 12:2

Who is the archon of our suffering, the first cause of our oppression? is it not our own distorted perception of the world? Who rules over our perception? Is it not ahamkara, the I-concept? We see the world through a glass darkly: everything is filtered through the fractured prism of I.

Now is the time to engage in a deeper anarchy. Deep anarchists don't overthrow governments, banks or corporations. Deep anarchists go straight to the first cause and overthrow ahamkara, the I.

With a growing population of deep anarchists, humanity reaches a quantum threshold to shift world consciousness. Governments, banks and corporations will change from within.We don't need the chaotic outmoded methods of a bygone era. We don't need to shatter shop windows, provoke the police, or occupy public buildings. Deep anarchists occupy the heart.

“Simply remain present as you are. 

Fully accept what occurs as it occurs, 

just as it is presently occurring. 

Totally let go into your own being. 

Be fully centered in the now-presence 

of your own being, 

prior to what is occurring, 

and just let it occur. 

It’s all occurring in your presence. 

It’s occurring through you and from you

as an expression of you, 

but not you as an ‘individual’, 

rather you as the one Self.

“When the individual self, the ego, dies, 

then the sense of consciousness 

as ‘I’ and ‘you’ 

also dies, 

and only the universal Awareness

as pure Being

remains.

That remaining universal Awareness

which is the One Self

is both the location and the source 

of all happiness and peace. 

It is freedom.

This is itself enlightenment, 

it is the natural state.”

~Ramana Maharshi
