on revolutionary transcendence

The one who wishes change, must become a traveller.  Whether the journey be described as through a single mind of thought, or around the whole of our globe, or beyond the stars, is not the point.  

The revolutionary is called to a life lived consciously.  One who is on a journey to a destination cannot change that goal based on a momentary change of feeling, or wind, or even gravity’s terrain.  One may tack back and forth as if by sail, or stop at the edge of a cliff to think and look and find a way around, but the energy is for the direction of the goal.  

One may get lost, but the energy when lost must be for the finding.  One may even give up - for awhile.  But if the revolutionary call is true, it will rise again, within and without,  understanding of causes, of repentance, of renewal, and then once again, of action.  Redemption and revolution go together and are a part of the same process.  

The revolutionary goal, that magnet that pulls us through our own time, that animates our hope, is nothing less than Love working itself out in the creation process of life.

We are incomplete navigating time’s landscapes.  We are crushed by institutions of humans’ own making, and by the process of creation itself.

That is why we seek change; revolutionary change.  

We are all broken people.  We do not have all knowledge.  We have made mistakes and given ourselves at points to hate, to revenge, to inactivity, to self-absorbsion and the betrayal of creation’s Love.  Those who admit it, can see and travel better than those who can’t.  That is why - if we permit the process of Love in our lives and demand it in the deconstruction of our institutions - we can heal.  

We can learn to travel by a humble compass of Love, de-linked (at our best), from the full blindness of ego’s mirror.
