Parallels between Socialism and Spirituality

The interpretation of Marley and Haile Selassie through images in this video is compelling.

The title is misleading, ideology between the two is far and few between. Until you examine the fine line. Let’s dwell on that for a moment. Is it not the greater good that serves us all? So to sacrifice one small loss to benefit the many is an acceptable outcome. Unless you succumb to thinking… that which capitalizes on your expectations. This hopes to inspire your selfish inhibitions and takes away from your natural thought. You step on the many in order to be accepted in the circles of few. And the Sharks you swim with are carnivorous. You might have the innate ability to sense this, and does that knowledge change the end result. Will those you shed blood with patch your wounds when your time arrives?

The concept of state and public ownership, this is a delicate proposition to consider. That trust of the many is placed on the few. In considering this alternative there is no discernible difference. Trust in humanity is the foremost concept, but it has been proven incorrect in all past instances. Where does this discussion lead? All forms of government are essentially the same. Either elected or not, the responsibility is placed on shoulders of those which time has proven are not worthy. Is it the natural inclination of those in power to deviate from that which is right? That greed and self serving purpose has crushed the intentions of those who have the naïve illusion of public service. We have negotiated the meaning of humanity, and to what end?

The years of civilization experienced through mankind has led to this dismal state of being. All other facets of life have benefited through this supposed progress. We correspond amongst ourselves faster than ever before. The medical field has given us miracle cures, for the most common ailments as well as the absurd needs to address male sexuality. We travel in ways unimaginable to our ancestors. The advancement of technology has undeniably improved the way we experience life. In the process of gaining these marvelous advancements, have we lost touch with that which is inherent in humanity? We have arrived at a point in life where society is in conflict with the self, nature, family and society.

We have been delivered to a point of discord. Between ourselves and those who we believe are separate. The ideologies instilled by society, that of god, service and country have provided the disillusioned division among race, wealth and culture. Are we not of the same biological consistency? Do we not experience suffering and joy in the same manner? The re-examination of self is the only mode of action to be taken in order to arrive at the point of true resolution of conflict. We must revisit the idea that division of men through nationality and social status is glorified tribalism. Investigative experimentation is essential to spiritual experience.
