Independence Day (The Great No)

Fight for inner liberty: Freedom from culture, nature and even your own identity.

The Great No is rejection of everything. It is test and trial. It is cracking the egg, throwing off the veil. It is a day for non-participation in corporate life, in mass media, in belief systems, in organizations – and especially in the subtle ways that we have integrated with views and motives that have been imposed from outside.

– No electronic media (Television, Internet, cell phones, etc.).
– No politics, entertainment, religion, nationalism.
– No materialism (Buying or selling).
– No artificial mood changes (Recorded music, alcohol or drugs, etc.)
– No small talk.

Question everything, especially publicly exhorted views and the narrative controlled by the powers that be. Go deeper. Question your identity, instincts, and beliefs. Resist all forms of external determinism, including biology, culture and ideology. Refuse to participate in anything that is false, illusory, idolatrous, trivial or degraded. Stop adulating leaders, especially celebrities and politicians? Do not glorify the tangential. Stop peer consciousness. Do not succumb to the pressure of the everyday.

How much are you willing to give up? Will you submit to inconvenience, suspense, uncertainty? How far do you want to go?

1. Challenge

When there is love the problem is simple. Otherwise, the problem is complex. What do you know? Give an example of something obvious, undeniable, certain. Is it a fact, an idea, a feeling? How do you know it is true? What evidence do you have? Is it worth believing in?

Another person? A country, religion, race, idea? How do you identify with it? How have you made it sacred, holy? Is it through fear of being inadequate yourself?

1. Challenge

Look for the good in the other side. Do not believe what you are told by the government or media.
Do not condemn the other side unthinkingly.
Do not appeal to or blame leaders or authorities.
Reconstruct any hopeless political issue and make it Visionary.

Turn a political issue into a Quest

Are you fed up with politics, but still want to be involved in the issues of the day? Is government that recognizes heart and soul possible?

Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Turn a political issue into a Quest.

Does politics have to be adversarial? Are you worthy of democracy? What would it mean to develop exquisite sensitivity to the human condition of the community?

Do not vote for a second-rate way of life, even if it is the lesser of two evils. We have more power than we realize, if we build up in ourselves, during the course of our life, the courage of heart and soul. Of refusing to close our heart. Of defending ourself against despondency and bitterness. Of the tenderness and fearlessness that is needed to approach our foes. This is voting as it was meant to be.

It doesn’t matter which side is right. It doesn’t even matter if we find a solution. Instead, our goal must be to look courageously, with humility and goodwill. That is already transformative action. Visionary voting means developing our latent and suppressed capacity for perceiving and acting at the deepest possible level. It means engaging people to respond at precisely the level at which deficiency is being generated.

Turn a political issue into a Quest
Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Take it as an opportunity to transform the field on which opposing parties meet, so that they no longer meet in opposition. Reconstruct any hopeless political issue and make it Visionary. Select a political issue, and we will work together to turn it into Quest.
