THE RELUCTANT ANARCHIST

I am an anarchist. No not the rock throwing destroy everything kind. I believe anarchy to be the greatest state of freedom, but it only works if we are all on the same page, at home or in the world.

That burst my Utopian balloon doesn’t it?

I believe that when humankind is both healthy and communicative over needs and requirements, we can do away with government as we know it. No one to fight, no one to bribe for votes, no one to blame. This will need to be the case one day if we are to survive, particularly if we step off the planet to explore the next shores.

LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE? LIBERTARIAN? THEOCRATIC?

I am sadly amused when I read blogs about conservative anti-government and liberal pro-government, since if one looks at history, both sides are in great states of denial. Too some extent some liberals completely forsake economic realities that are not changing without a spiritual-understanding revolution, which will probably be forced upon us by shock and an awe rather than gotten to through our “higher angels”.

Then there are conservatives that seem to think anarchy is fine for their business or self interest in some Darwinian dominator based psychology, or more accurately, dysfunctional ego grandeur hardly disguised by their superiority complexes, and accompanied insecurity noose around the neck convictions. Sure they hate certain liberal pro government notions. Those are contrary to their psycho-spiritual assumptions.

I am mixed about the libertarians, as well as themselves. They can be made up of both the right and left; they want more direct say in their lives and reject what seems like undo influence of organized power structures. To me they kind of live for a future Utopia, without necessarily looking at present realities close enough to see how they will creep up on them, and perhaps crash their balloon. I happen to love people on all these philosophical -political stances.

THAT SACRED DIVINE THING

Most all humankind has had transcendent spiritual beliefs. When humankind grows past its fear, threats and insecurities, when we know we are all in spaceship earth together, and it does matter to each life what the other is doing, we will emerge into some kind of theocentric non state. I believe we will all act on behalf of our higher angels, and because of that union, share the mysteries of Creation, possibly with symbols and rituals that keep the reminder ever-present of the abiding transcendent Cause.

No, it will not force religion onto anyone, our spiritual core will just fit into life seamlessly. This is then a Utopian spiritual anarchy, possessing qualities and even beliefs of parts of some or all of the aforementioned belief systems, and even some not mentioned.

The difference will be that there will be no contradiction between individual and collective humankind. Your spirit, in some ways untethered from dysfunction, will be able to soar higher than likely you or I have known.

Unconditional Love has that guarantee. No one is stopping its anarchy, but ones sense of self limitations.
