What is activism?
Jun. 30th, 2006 | 02:03 pm
A central theme in almost any personal growth process is to realize choice in regard to experience of existence. It is the recognition of this personal freedom that empowers us to break free of conditioned interpretations of the world. Activism to me is interacting with loved ones and other people in my personal life out of a consciousness of this essential freedom to control my experience. I can then take this capability to create prosperous interactions with me as I interact with a group of people or a social paradigm. By creating my experience I can actively influence the dynamic of my interaction with others in a positive way. This is activism. This way of interaction “reels in” my projections, negates my need for defensiveness, removes the critical perception I might have of myself and others, and takes away the need to make accusations. In doing so, it shows me that my assumptions are usually wrong. Essentially, my freedom to create my own experience facilitates a move toward unity and harmony with that which I am interacting, as opposed to a move away in conflict and isolated defensiveness. By becoming conscious of my ability to control my experience of existence, I have become conscious of how my interpretations affect this experience and how my actions have effect on the world around me. This gives me the tools I need to do my part in creating our society in a healthy way.
