As Seekers, We Have To be Aware Of Politics

‘Politics’ describes the affairs governing a society.
That governance is done through words.
Religion works in the same way; sounds turn into thoughts and beliefs, creating conflict with non-verbal consciousness.

There is no conflict in silence.

As seekers of truth, we not only have to know what is going on in our mind, but how it got there. Our thoughts are not our own; we inherited words, which are just sound symbols.

To repeat: politics is how we are governed. Words are deployed to manage perception, manufacture consent and maintain authority.

The root of conflict lies in different groups assigning their sets of sound symbols to absolute truth, and hostility becomes inevitable. Because these symbols define our identity and survival, an attack on words is perceived as an attack on us.

Stay silent; stay deep.
