Enlightenment and activism go hand in hand. Enlightenment without expansion is implosion. It is only self-serving, empty and ego based. Activism without consciousness, connection from a higher place from within us; the heart; will have no foundation, no direction. As you become more aware, that awareness expands to others and the world we belong to. This is an inevitability of a true journey inward - that we go beyond the self - connecting to the greater body we are a part of. This realization comes with responsibility.
Believing in something bigger than yourself is part of our makeup as a species. It is an instinct that has allowed us to survive. To care for and protect the earth, our children, the water, the sky, and each other. Awareness acts like an amplifier so it is important to stay in a state of peace, but in truth. Denying the harsh realities of our shared world is not enlightenment. Overlooking the negative is not transformation. As within, so without - we must learn to recognize within ourselves the good and bad, dark and light, to love ourselves there in wholeness; then we can go into the world and bring the healing power of loving awareness there too - without turning away.
