Activists & Awakened Ones: Have Patience

Unity, as one stand together

With the occupy movement in full force, people from all backgrounds are begining to tear down the illusions of seperation and come together as humanity.

Beyond the typical juxtaposition of class, race and age, we are also seeing people from different political backgrounds and activist movements. Code Pink, Union Workers, We Are Change are just a few organizations that have joined the call to stand up for humanity.

But beyond the government and media doing their part to dutifully divide the movement, a less than attractive behavior is starting to be seen in blogs on social network sites and in videos.... the elitist activist.

In rejecting a system that unfairly distributes wealth, power and knowledge to a few selected families and individuals, this should be avoided at all costs.

Certain activists and "awakened ones" are starting to show anger and frustration towards those that perhaps do not have a more expanded understanding of what is going on in the world (as if any of us actually do - the more you learn, the less you know).

But we must have patience, this is the awakening, this is what it looks like... people are coming out of their slumber and need a little time to wipe the sleep out of their eyes.


The old expression about attracting more bees with honey than vinegar is certainly applicable in a greater understanding of spreading awareness.

You're not going to help awaken someone by barking at them or telling them how stupid or inconsiderate they are for not knowing what it is you are talking about.

I have heard activists complain that while people may be paying attention to issue A, they are completely ignoring or have no knowledge about issue B! Well isn't it then your / our responsibility to help spread truth? No one else is going to do it...

We want people to awaken right?

We want unity consicousness right?

How are we ever going to obtain that if you are sarcastic or angry or have an ellitist viewpoint?

Lets drop the sarcasm and anger and really reach out to people in a way that doesn't chastise or ridicule.

If you want to teach someone, do it with kindness and patience. Do it by example.
