Waning MOON on the SOUTH NODE

Looks as though politics has now exceeded its customary grasp over the administration of our society’s economics, laws and public securities. Politics has finally trespassed and infringed itself completely upon our individual reasonings, our sacred mental and spiritual processes, our personal health and choices of morality and mortality, our precious private day-to-day dealings with one another, how we express ourselves intimately in our love and art.

There’s really nowhere politics isn’t present now, and it is a symptom of man’s failure to act as a sovereign-thinking being, one who can question, argue and debate the incomprehensible absurdities that he feels goes against her inner nature.

Politics has almost always got it wrong, but because it has formerly only applied to the collective we have allowed it, whether through ignorance, indifference or our privileged ability to be corrupt. But when our lives are saturated by our interpersonal politics, it strikes at the core of the individual’s ability to rule over his/her own meagre existence for fear of thinking/saying/doing ‘the wrong thing’, this is a condition worse than any oppression. This soon becomes soul-destroying.

As CS Lewis once said: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

When the boundaries of our individuality become trespassed, then ever so subtly recalibrated into ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’, then the individual will is hijacked and sent slowly on a death march. Spirit will not allow politics (or religion) to govern over the individual’s soul. A Spiritual Revolution is hence inevitable.

    Ahhh
    No story eh!
    Strong strikingly correct insight here, powerlessness sucks
    Agreements with some in higher positions than others can work, seems most humans in spite what say need leaders, passive control, patronising ignoring of the other while controlling all do by constant interruotion/intruttion there choice hurts like hell.
