Just Following Orders

Just following orders is just following words, which is the lowest form of intelligence, as we feel we’re immune from having to take responsibility.

The result is the dark history of the world through the adoption of ‘uni-formed’ thinking. The Solomon Asch experiment on conformity reveals how suggestion and obedience work, even though they cause pain.

An enlightened attitude is the ability to perceive clearly with no preconceived ideas, and take responsibility for our own actions.

It takes courage to stop following words for a moment and simply be, in the open space of non-conformity. Non-conformity is the absolute freedom of the individual, living in pure consciousness, free from words.
