None. It's disgusting and disconsiders the individual human subject. It advocates the inevitable hatred of man itself by the decree that someone knows how to make ME and EVERYONE ELSE happy by their own will. It claims that knowledge can be held by one institution over man, that one ministry, one rule, one will can dictate how things should be. I believe this is an illusion and will lead to the end of mankind.
I thought you believed in oneness and disdain separation? Wouldn't oneness of organization be in line with that? Or is oneness only relevant when it pertains to your own personal freedom?
Oneness by separation is indefinite separation. This kind of oneness is illusory and is based on indefinite self-denial by lawful decree.
Conformity is oneness by assimilation. Assimilation is not my ideal of unity.
Unity is inherent even in assimilation. My ideal of unity is seeing as it exists now, not when the world has reached a utopic ideal.
So then why do you seem to have an issue with all the 'rules' if your ideal already currently exists? If your philosophy is that all is to be accepted and all is good and everything is perfect, then why are you having thoughts of opposition or adversarial-ism?
It seems your ideal of unity is exclusive, which, to me, is very separative.
Simply, it does not appear to me that you are practicing what you are preaching.
I am not absolute. I simply allow myself to express emotion without suppression.
I prefer acceptance of all things to a great deal of measure. That entails I will not force people in my ideal but I surely will express it.
I practice my philosophy by not hurting others nor convicting myself towards an absolute end. That is how I practice detachment and I am doing well in that regard. The fact I express myself without suppression shows that I am practicing this quite well.
I genuinely feel everything is in unity in this moment, even if this world was under total tyranny but I certainly would not prefer it.
