The 60's Counterculture was in fact a Planetary Spiritual Renaissance Wave that held the promise of spiritual, political and economic liberation and cultural renewal.
But judging from what I read here on CD all the time, few seem to have gotten the message that the problem goes beyond politics and even capitalism. The problem is that humanity got stuck at a larval stage of development and is now about to suffer die-back because of it.
In other words, because humanity has failed - for whatever reason - to emerge beyond childhood and adolescence and engage in higher spiritual evolution, humanity has completely lost touch with true spirituality and is sick on a mass scale because of it.
In order to break out of prison, one must first admit to being in prison. How many people here reading these words have ever stopped to see that you were born into a spiritually degenerate culture and that social indoctrination in such a sick culture has damaged you almost past the point of no return? How many of you have ever really asked yourselves how capable YOU are to engage in ego-transcending cooperation and spiritual unity with other human beings?
Because if you havent devoted decades to self-development, self-actualization and higher Realization, you may well be part of the problem, not the solution. And yes, I can hear a few of you sharpening your knives already.
Christianity has done tremendous damage to humanity by outlawing higher realization. The Big Lie is that only one lone jew who walked the sands of Palestine 2000 years ago is the ONLY person who can or will achieve God-Realization, a grotesque lie that has infected western civilization with its pernicious influence ever since.
The facts of the case are that every single person is potentially capable of the highest levels of God-Realization, mystical knowledge and the direct Realization that one is - as pure Consciousness-Being, the source of all spiritual, artistic, philosophical and scientific Genius.
In other words, beyond the illusion of the individual ego, there is only God and in the words of Vedanta, "Thou Art That." We are all always, already One. And as such, you and anyone are potentially capable of levels of Consciousness, Intelligence, Knowledge, Genius and Love as far beyond your present level as that is beyond the consciousness of a hamster. And, if you dont know this, it is because your birthright has been stolen from you - time to find out why you were never told dontcha think?
The elites dont want you to know, because when you realize that you are an immortal being of Light, they lose their power over you.
Oh yes, this is elitism, but with an added twist: it is an Elite OPEN TO EVERYONE PROVIDED YOU ARE WILLING TO FULFILL THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE REALIZATION.
Ah, but just as Everyone cannot catch the same flight from New York to Los Angeles, everyone does not spiritually evolve at the same rate or have the same capacity for realization. If this upsets you, it is really too bad, because that's the way it is. If your adolescent ego prevents you from learning from those who have put more effort into spiritual evolution than you have, and you therefore seek to tear down such a person, or throw a tantrum about it all, then YOU are part of the problem, not part of the solution, and as such, you have lost your right to criticize Bush, Obama or whoever. Ah, I hear a few more people sharpening their knives......
A population devoted to higher Realization would be unexploitable. But if people choose to remain at a spiritually childish level of existence, dont be surprised if such a population gets the goverment that mirrors its childish level of development. Is the majority in this country actually capable of ego-transcending democratic polity? I see no evidence of that. all my life I have seem very educated and intelligent people sell-out for egotistical reasons.
Without higher spiritual Realization and Knowing Who and What You Really Are, life is nothing but a mortal, materialistic round of pain, suffering and frustration - that is why people are so desperately caught up in Substitute gratifications, lost in lustful greed for wealth and power.
In our spiritually degenerate adolescence, we have created global industrial civilization, and that is now on the verge of complete Collapse due to the reaching of energy, resource, ecological and complexity limits. Who is to blame? Ha! No one. We are one of Nature's experiments, an experiment that has happened an infinite amount of times.
So cheer up! this is but one lifetime and one planet. And if you played your part badly this time around, dont worry, you get an infinite amount of times to Get It Right. As the Rolling Stones put it, "On with the show good health to you!"
Oh and btw. If anyone here thinks they are going to put a guilt trip on me for being an "elitist" you got another thing coming. To those who seek to refute all of this - by virtue of nothing more than their own limited knowledge and experience - I can only say I guess you just havent reached the level of creative discontent - a phrase from J. Krishnamurti - necessary to admit you are in prison. Those who Understand will smile and realize that the posting of this message is nothing but an act of compassion given by You to remind You of Who You Really Are. Peace.
