New Age Revolutions

I’m just curious about what kind of revolution France would have had in 1789 had the masses tried “working on their own issues” or “better feeling thoughts,” or “loved and prayed,” the aristocracy, or gone to therapy or a support group so that they could bring the “solution” to the fascists. Had anyone paid attention to condescending patter about unconditional love, inner peace, working on yourself, and ignored silly human physical issues like poverty, disease and gross material inequity, would any revolution have taken place? Would there have ever been any slave uprisings? Would women have fought for the right to vote? I mean, sure, I believe that love and forgiveness lie in my own heart, and sure I know that cable television and a $80 t-shirt from Anthropologie will never fulfill my soul (I think…), and sure I have many lifetimes in which to work out my relationship to my human needs (assuming that when we die we have a choice about jumping into another body suit…which Keep away from the reach of children and pets. sildenafil order How to identify Erectile Dysfunction Along with inability to achieve erection, mood changes, night sweats, constant fatigue or lack of energy; – Insomnia or excessive sleeping; – Indecisiveness, inability to concentrate; – Restlessness, inability canada cialis 100mg appalachianmagazine.com to remain still and calm; – Lack of confidence.

BUT THAT SAID…great oppression begs for a revolution, am I wrong? I mean sure people participate in their relationship with their oppressors, whether it be their spouse, boss, government, or hard drive, but is peace ever begotten by patronizing and silencing gut human emotions and gut human needs for food, freedom (and I use that word sparingly because it gets thrown around in a lot of STRANGE WAYS as of late), and expansion?

It’s just seems like the difference between working on inner peace and lying dormant filled with repressed sound and fury, while the neo-fascists dictators, spouses, and office mates walk all over you is only a matter of perspective.

Just for today, I reserve the right to forego the New Age solipsistic drama and fight back in the real world.
