Where there is ignorance there will not be freedom, and where there is true freedom, ignorance will have been dispelled. Especially ignorance of who we are, at a deeply spiritual, fundamental level.
Thomas Jefferson made this quote...
"if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be"
Ignorance and freedom are antitheses of each other. They are diametric polar opposites and can never really be brought together to simultaneously co-exist"
And the people who still believe in govt and authority, they all have the blinders on. None of these people are awake to the truth, none of these people are holistically intelligent, none of them are seeing w the true "one eye" the balanced brain, and the awakened spiritual vision. NONE... ZERO!
No matter how much they "claim" to be spiritual. A claim, and then your behavior, your actual ACTIONS in the physical world are often opposed to each other.
Someone's claim that they're a spiritually activated human being and then their actions are sometimes completely polar opposites. And their actions are a betrayal of their claim.
When people say they're allegedly spiritual and then still support the idea of govt, you know that they're kidding themselves. They're not only trying to fool you, maybe not deliberately trying to fool you but if you believe it your being fooled. And they're certainly fooling themselves. Whether they're just outright lying and making stuff up or whether they actually believe their own crap! That they're truly spiritual awake and still supporting a dominator institution like the military or the police or govt. You can't reconcile these two things, they're diametric opposites.
And the people in the so-called "new age movement" that think there's any such thing as an enlightened police officer, or any such thing as an enlightened soldier, they're either one of two things.... They're either naive dupes, who understand nothing of what spirituality is because it takes into true spirituality takes into oneself that the truth is there's no such thing as an authority of any man, of any group of men or women over any other men or women or group of men or women. There is no such thing as an authority!
If you believe in the concept of authority, you're operating under a religion, a false religion at that! And a religion that only does harm. Only ever has done harm. Only ever will do harm.
We need freedom!
