Why Love And Light Is Only One Side Of The Awakening Story

We have all been through personal suffering but only some of us have broken mostly free of it. One way that is becoming more and more common in an ‘awakening’ society is to embrace a philosophy of unity and live via the principles of love and light. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter how much peace we create within, the outside world – which is us – remains in a chronic state of suffering and chaos.

To the more enlightened individual, it’s as if we’re living in ‘Crazy Town’. Seriously, everywhere we look we see madness. It dominates our media, governments, corporations, and even scientific establishments. And so, if we no longer want to live alone in Crazy Town, embracing the love and light within (as well as the dark side of our inner duality too) is really only one side of the awakening story. While this madness continues, the awakening and empowerment of our society is just as important as the awakening of our Self. We need to actively manifest change in the outer world if we’re ever going to transcend this madness.

Welcome to Crazy Town!

For starters, most of the governments of the world advocate for backwards laws which seem so surreal it’s hard to believe it’s true. Natural and effective remedies and medicines are suppressed, the economic model benefits the ‘empire’, our privacy is increasingly invaded, corporate-benefiting and community-destroying regulations are being put in place.

The politicians are turning a blind eye tothe capitalist circus – the inaccurately labelled ‘free market’ – which funnels the wealth and resources to those who already have it. They facilitate the military-industrial machine, the massive war-on-drugs policy failure and the industrial devastation of our planet. Where is the orchestrated salvation for a poverty stricken, unhealthy, mentally imprisoned and highly unequal global society?

Geopolitical games are endangering life as we know it. Police are being militarised. Economic warfare is crippling the security of the masses, cultures on edge are scrambling to protect their futures and a nuclear threat looms constantly on the horizon. Wealth disparity continues to increase with thousands of children dying each day from poverty and millions living homeless in both the so-called ‘developing’ and ‘developed’ nations. Our global financial system is also on the verge of not just a crisis, but total collapse.

Multinational organisations are producing large droves of brainwashed minions who over-consume in an unsustainable and self-harming fashion. Corporatism and elitism are running the world through the infiltration of our political systems, and most of society doesn’t even know it because those same powers have gained near-full control of peoples’ minds through the mainstream media, which they basically own. They continue to increase the hypnotism of lies and propaganda and omit highly important information that everybody on this planet should not only know, but be engaged in a healthy and proactive debate about.

Our food supply has been corrupted, and the pharmaceutical industry is drugging our societywith toxic substances that not only generate ill health, but kill thousands of people. If that’s not enough, they’re drugging our kids too. The education system is designed to harvest robotic and productive economic citizens with little focus on developing emotional, psychological, philosophical, social and other life skills and knowledge. This is one source of why society is saturated in the pain and suffering of mental health issues, emotional dysfunction, spiritual desolation, existential crises, rampant addiction, obesity, suicide, family breakdown and interpersonal violence and abuse.

The truth is, society is at the whim of those in power who have dumbed us down and distracted us with an entertainment industry that produces an ego-based and image-driven narrative of existence and primes our collective thinking for the next engineered step in the wrong direction. But it’s not just society that is suffering; our Mother Earth is also being imbalanced through unsustainable human activity. Even though she will survive no matter what we throw at her, humans and animals don’t have the same luxury. The ecology of our planet is being destroyed by the dirty fuel industry and industrial agriculture is killing our natural systems – such as our soil, vegetation and animal colonies – in which humanity will bear the full brunt.
