Enlightened Rebellion
“The rebel is the very essence of religion. He brings into the world a change of consciousness – and if the consciousness changes, then the structure of the society is bound to follow it.” OSHO
Real change and lasting transformation can only happen if we have been truly moved. Where the core of our being is touched somehow and we are called to action. This change never happens through politics, laws or policies. None of these things actually touch your heart.
It may look like you’ve changed but it’s only on the surface. It’s only cosmetic. You’ve painted the roof but the foundation is still crumbling.
All of these influences happen outside of you and force the person into alignment with someone else’s vision of your life. And it may be true that you follow the laws, the rules, and the men that make them, but in the silence of your heart you will still be poor, angry, and weak.
And maybe there will come a moment where you decide to change the politicians, the laws and the policies. You have been pushed long enough and you have finally decided to push back.
This will be good for awhile for you will have discovered a slight glimpse of your power.
But in the end it will be a futile struggle for you will not have changed the men who are the politicians, who make the laws and create the policies.
So what is there to do? What can you do? Have you lost the fight? Is there no hope?
Don’t lose faith for there is hope, and in truth it’s the only true salvation for our planet, each other and our own self.
What is this new light?
Rebellion.
Enlightened Rebellion.
Not a fight or struggle with some outward opponent, system, or structure because we’ve seen that truly this won’t change anything at all. For what good are these changes if the people are still rotten to the core?
Enlightened Rebels Frighten Us For They Are Full Of Power And Confidence
This is about becoming a rebel with a cause. This is about metamorphosis. It’s about the caterpillar completely transforming into the butterfly. This rebellion is about going deep into the darkness of yourself, being at peace there, being aware there, and then emerging from those depths completely new and reborn.
This isn’t a fight with some outside force or a rally for some new and noble cause. It’s a challenge to journey to your inner source. A courageous call to do the great work of discovering who you are and knowing what you want.
Rebels frighten us for they are full of power and confidence. They’ve struggled against themselves and shattered the shackles that society has tried to place upon them. They challenge our beliefs and show to us our own ignorance.
They do these things not with their words but with their presence for their whole essence is alive with truth.
Enlightened Rebels Have Come To Know The Truth Of Their Existence
They are charismatic and charming and their wisdom has been honed from experience. And when they teach they do so by leading. For it’s always easier to lead the way. To show the path. To light the fire.
It’s far easier to create the world you want than it is to talk or dream about it.
Hard won truth is the reward for the rebels. A deep knowledge that can never be taken away from them. For they have heard the call of their heart and they’ve followed the light of their conscious. And though this path has not been easy for them, they have been blessed all the same. For they have come to know the truth of their existence. They have accepted their divinity and are now taking possession of their rightful inheritance.
The enlightened rebel is intuitive and listens for inspiration upon the wind. They know that every mouth speaks for God. And their hands and body are strong so that they can live the purpose that burns within their heart.
You May Touch This Power Now For Yourself
Their light is a reminder to humanity of the wild freedom that lies asleep within our own hearts.
Becoming a rebel is the only way for the world. For rebellion is a complete transformation. A break point happens. The old world no longer exists and all that’s left is the now. All that remains is this pure and sacred moment. A true a holy minute where life honestly fills our lungs for the very first time.
You may touch this power now for yourself.
Breathe deep and feel the potential of your presence. Breath out and hear the silent roar of your heart.
Enlightened Rebel’s are a leaders, they’re risk takers, trail blazers. They’re individuals moving within the whole. For they have realized that all of existence lives within them.
They live and cycle through the Four Elements of Awakening which are; Meditation, Revelation, Transformation and Inspiration.
Meditation fills them with presence.
Revelation gives them their purpose.
Transformation is the power of their joy and love.
And Inspiration is the effect of their actions.
The true rebellion has begun. Your sacred rebellion has begun. There’s no turning back now.
Stand proud and sure for the enlightened rebels shall create the new world and invite others to join them in their joyful celebration. For rebels are enlightened and they know that the world is calling them to it’s dance so they dance with passion. The rhythm of their laughing hearts leads them to be in holy harmony with all of life and they open their arms wide and embrace us all.
