It is said that
anarchist are not a religious people, on that I would agree. Yet, to say a
great deal of anarchists are not spiritual people I would have to disagree in
the most severe way. You might find that a queer thing to write but let us look
at the differences from an anarchist point of view.
Religion is the
dogmatic institution that suffocates the spirit and essence of the true
teachings of the prophet, guru, teacher, avatar, and whatever else there might
be. Religion as an entity exploits the hopes and fears of the masses for
capital gain by creating intolerance towards all those outside of the “inner
Circle”. To many anarchists religion is the worst part of the Capitalist scheme
of control because it comes at you as a sheep though it truly is a wolf. In all
my studies I have yet to find one religion that teaches the absolute truth of
the book it spouses to be teaching from.
Religion drives
obedience and conformity down the throats of every man woman and child that
enters its shrines, temples and churches.
Spirituality is
for all to believe and grow at there own pace. Dogma is tossed out the window
for an open free from restriction experience. In spirituality people may
believe or disbelieve what they want, joining or not joining communities that
they deem worthy or unworthy. People may use tools or prayers as they wish or
use none at all. Every man and woman is a cannon unto himself or herself.
Respecting and learning from one another with openness. No one who advocates a
spiritual life has to live in fear of what others may do if they have a
disagreement with another group of people. Whether one is monotheist or
polytheist or whatever the case may be the entire world is big enough to share
and to connect with the divine as they see fit. Holy wars and witch hangings will become a permanent thing
of the past.
All religions
started off as spiritual paths but became corrupted by those who wanted power.
By those who wanted the things of this world instead of the benefits of the
spirit and this is where the anarchist differs from most people. The anarchist
lives a simplistic life; the anarchist shrugs off materialism and extreme
excess because the anarchist is a person who learns from the mistakes of both
themselves and of others. Unlike the preachers of the world the anarchist does
not want to take anything from you, the anarchists do not want you to live in
fear of life and of death. No instead they want you to enjoy life and rejoice
when death comes knocking at your door and the only that can be done is to
embrace the spirit, live as a total community of like minded individuals. To
not allow a big Communist capitalist authority but to allow you to be the
master of yourself free from the death that religion and current society
offers. Salvation cannot be achieved by donations, collection plates; no it can
be achieved by actions as well as by embracing the spirit that resides in every
living thing.
If you read
about any spiritual movement in its infancy they all live in a communal life
style. They share food, clothes, daily choirs and daily work. They see and know
the struggles of every person and they do not turn anyone who is in need away.
Homelessness and unwantedness disappear because every need of every individual
is met with the most basic of resources.
What I am
writing about can be found in every Holy Book, in every teaching but it seems
that only the anarchists whether they believe in a higher power or not are the
only ones that cling to these ideals and want to make these ideals a reality
for all. Anarchists are not the enemy of God, Avatar, Buddha, or Christ, though
many of the religious people who feed off the masses say otherwise. It is the opposed,
the anarchist does not seek to destroy religion or society but instead the
anarchist seeks to bring religion back to its root the spirit, the essence that
will transform society back to its basic simplistic origins.
Live a simple
life and you will have more wealth then you ever dreamed of. Treat everyone
with respect and you wont have to worry about crime or murder. Spread love to
everyone and love will come back to you. Always do the right thing justice will
always be done. Tolerate others and others will tolerate you. Create peace to
achieve peace. The anarchist spirituality is the rightful spirituality of all
creeds and rituals. Man must become what he is taught and knows to be true.
The only paths
I see where this anarchist spirituality is achieved is in the Chaos magick,
Discordia, and Moorish Orthodox Church, all other paths including various
Wicca, Luciferian, and Satanism have all abandoned the spirit for back biting
Capitalistic gains of divisions.
So before you join a group or organization ask yourself do
they embrace the unity of humanity and encourage the spirit of truth or do they
just want to hoodwink you into dogmatic lies.
