Nonduality
There is no such
thing as willful "activism"...
Only Nondual
Activism
Ed Arrons
While "I"
sometimes get the impression that "I" am the
activist who decides my actions, I soon realize that the
action is always begun prior to the decision to act. If
the identified "me" as the actor and decision
maker is indeed an illusion, then there is no such person
as an "activist" who decides what acts will be
undertaken. By that understanding there is no such thing
as willful "activism"...only nondual activism.
Still Point Activism: A Radical
View?
What might be considered radical by this view is in
seeing the activism as a movement in society raising
consciousness in the masses to the level of those who
abide in the still point of awareness. The movement is
simply activated by the presence and understanding of
still point awareness in everyday, face-to-face dialogue.
"When all is quiet, utterly still, as if the whole
world has stopped, time has stopped, all movement inside
has stopped, you have come to a still point. That still
point is the goal of meditation. And out of the
experience of that still point within you everything else
arises as a by-product: bliss, love, compassion.... All
that is beautiful, all that really makes you meaningful,
all that gives you music and poetry, all that makes your
heart dance with joy, all that transforms your life from
misery into a celebration." ......OSHO
A deepening chasm in the politics
of separation?
deeply listening from the still point silence
unseen, unheard, the earth-people rumble
a change of tones arise
uncertainty rises at the bottom
knowing rises at the midway
awareness rises above it all
where are you, my friend?
