Are you awake?

[Ming the Merciful]

it's not good to be stuck in hatefulness towards negative beings, fixate on them all the time, and want to attack them and tear them down, but it's just as dangerous to completely ignore them and go inward, act like they don't exist, and think they'll simply evaporate if you do enough inner work. that's spiritual bypassing: "the tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid facing unresolved issues."

it's a balance. we need to do inner work and take time for ourselves and grow spiritually, and sometimes we need to take heart-centered action in the physical. your post conflates taking action to "taking arms." you can take action in a non-violent way. we live in a physical world and physical action is important to make changes. stuff like peaceful protests can have a profound effect. look at the recent london protests that i heard had 2 million people. that sends a powerful message and wave of energy to the government as well as to the general population and creates real change. we most definitely do need to stand up to the elites, this is how we reclaim our power and sovereignty.

I like where you are coming from schubert? Are you aware that you are speaking pure Zen Buddhism? The "Middle Path". When action and nonaction are the same thing. Eventually, the "Silent Majority" will force the Old World Order to change, or collapse from within. Is it not collapsing already? Or, if enough people, (thinking in Positive Thought and Action), will create change. It is the "Snowball Effect". As the Silent Majority grows and become Awakened, there will come a time when the Silent Majority becomes the Overall Majority and then the corruption has to show accountability for its actions. We are not there yet, except everything is happening faster.
