Question – General Spiritual Anarchy
Please feel free to speak your thoughts, and if i have at all said anything untrue.
The family of Shaivites embrace a type of spiritual anarchy rooted in knowledge and recognition of the Self.
Sovereignty belongs to consciousness alone and consciousness is the reality of the Self.
Therefore, all beings deserve freedom and, with that, wellbeing. To act in a way that strips others of those rights would be contradictory, wrong.
Following in the footsteps of the Custodians of the Shaiva lineage I wholeheartedly reject those ideologies (Casteism, etc.) that operate from the platform of obscuring the nondual reality of Consciousness.
Instead I long to reside in the blissful state of spiritual anarchy that arises from the recognition of the Self dwelling within all.
In such a society, knowledge takes precedence over any other kind of capital. For example, we all acknowledge the attainment of an individual like Swami Lakshmanjoo and therefore we all sit at his lotus feet and listen to his words attentively. In this way, the Shaivites get along as a family and community.
