Society and the Awakened

Can one who is awakened, the transformed, exist in a society that is based on greed, the acquisitive nature and self promotion? What do we mean by the term 'society'? When one is awakened to the true nature of self then one is transformed psychologically. This transformation is not the result of conscious action. It is the natural progression of a psyche that is in transition. Consciousness moves outside the norm. The formulations which previously were an activity of a confused and conflicted mind give way to an intelligence which realizes the source and has complete understanding. One is in complete harmony and at peace with existence. Conceptually this may be interpreted as a goal or aspiration, but it cannot be effort from the center which is the self, the ego centric. It is not a result, it is simply an aspect or characteristic of deep realization.

Society is conformity to established norms. Authority that is recognized as inherently good for all is the basis for established social morality. But this so called morality is in reality immoral.
Commonality and conformity is the result of a mind that is engaged in divisiveness which fosters conflict and fear. One lives within the construct of society but ones nature is diametrically outside established authority. One negates all conformity to established organizations of political, religious, and nationalistic authority. Lastly there is the rejection of one's own ego-centric authority. Society as a collective consciousness is nonsense. Society as a psychological entity can only exist as a conformity of thought. Thought which is the activity of a mind that is engaged in comparison, conclusion and choice. This activity is the source of all conflict and fear.

For one to live a truly moral and ethical life one must reject society and its accepted norms. One must break away and move in a totally new direction. When one rejects all authority, then one is accepting humanity as it is and in doing so has total understanding of actual reality. That understanding is the door to human transformation.


A psychological metamorphosis takes place which transcends the conditioned consciousness and brings one to a place of realization and insight. This insight cannot be held within the memory of self. It is communicated as a light to those who are open to the possibility of that which is beyond thought. If not communicated it is lost to the moment.

Social ills are the result of the self enclosing activity of ambition and power seeking. Society as a model of organized interaction is ever being corrupted and manipulated by those in authority. Society mirrors the individual who is seeking the accumulation of wealth and power.
One who is awakened breaks away from society and lives a life of simplicity and love.
