They Are Dimming Our Light

Ideologies are structured systems of beliefs, values, and doctrines that explain the blueprint for future social, economic, or political organisation. They function as frameworks which – consciously or unconsciously – shape our understandings of the world and drive collective action. 

Ideologies lower our mind-set as we become stuck in cycles of negativity, reactivity, and moral deficiency. We complain about everything – sport, politics, health, religion, weather, pot holes (there for us to ‘enjoy’) and are therefore distracted and never see possibilities.

Our light is the clarity of consciousness. When we’re free of all ideologies and judgements, we are pure consciousness – our original state. Those who create ideologies only have one aim, and that is to distract consciousness to divide and conquer.

The way and the light.
Never believe in yourself – it’s a construct.
🙂

We are born into a sea of ideas that we immediately take on, and therefore we have no free will. Free will starts when we know what we are, rather then who we are. It is through the practice of meditation – observing the mind – that pure consciousness is recognised, beyond our usual fixations.

Acknowledging this light of clarity is the way. Self is our root teacher, showing consciousness when the mind is holding on to ideas.

So … “I am the way and the light”.
Ideologies turn everything upside down.
