This Light in Oneself
A new consciousness and a totally new morality are necessary to
bring about a radical change in the present culture and social structure.
This is obvious, yet the Left and the Right and the revolutionary seem
to disregard it. Any dogma, any formula, any ideology is part of the
old consciousness; they are the fabrications of thought whose activity
is fragmentation - the Left, the Right, the centre. This activity will
inevitably lead to bloodshed of the Right or of the Left or to
totalitarianism. This is what is going on around us. One sees the
necessity of social, economic, and moral change, but the response is
from the old consciousness, thought being the principal actor. The
mess, the confusion, and the misery that human beings have got into
are within the area of the old consciousness, and without changing that
profoundly, every human activity - political,economic or religious - will
only bring us to the destruction of each other and of the earth. This is
so obvious to the sane.
