The contestation symbol is now 40 years old. It’s time to make it straight, to put it in the right position.
To get this, before all we needs for a strong connection with its own identity. Peace, Love and Freedom aren’t suffisant, we must have further qualities as awareness and consciousness. And this is not something new: the past psychedelic season yet spoke about these qualities. But the dream had stranded on the lead’s years, with the stupid idea to expand the consciousness through drugs.
So, to make intervent we need to restart distinguishing between Enlightenment and false enlightenment.
It’s the same old story: there is a thought’s current which gives to itself the label “Enlightenment”. This doctrine affirm that the reign over the earth, the control of the power have to be given to the narrow circle of superior’s men: the Enlightened. This is the argument that was always product in history, starting with the former social systems in Babylon, in India, in Egypt, in Phoenicia, in Israel.
Opposite to this point of view there is another idea of Enlightenment, which is the idea that each man and each woman, every living being upon the earth and in the whole universe may obtain the progressive awakening of the consciousness, the enlightenment of the mind and of the heart.
This is the Buddha’s conception (you know, the word “Buddha” means “Enlightened, Awoked”) and this is which Christos made while tried to remove the exclusive egemony of Pharisais and Sadducee over the Hebrew’s religion. This is what Mahatma Gandhi made, denouncing that every caste restriction is an arbitrary form of dispotism.
It’s important not to undervalue that the most strong and deeper Enlightenment root’s comes from an occult doctrine. This seeming paradox is determined by the need to survive to the heresy accusation. The most libertarian thought’s form always meets the obscurantism resistences. Power has all the interest to maintein people in darkness of ignorance, to avoid criticism and contestation.
You can see what happen in Nyanmar, what is happening in Tibet.
The Alexandria’s bibliotheque burning is the emblematic image of this obscurantism control. But the Phoenix always return from its ashes. First, this happened with the Book of Glimmer; then with the Book of the Shining Light. And it is here that you can read the phrase which give legitimation to the turn up of the symbol you see on the top. Because it is written: “The roots of the Tree of Knowledge are on high, because the origins are in the Sky.”
