IRRELEVANT COMPLEXITY… AND SIMPLE TRUTHS

By David Icke November 16th 2008

 

Seated around the hall were Ramana devotees, both local and from

around the world, and the ceremony took the form of someone reading

from a book while the assembled replied in unison from the same said

book. It could quite easily have been a Christian service or one from

Islam, Judaism or the Hindu faith (which it basically was in

structure and theme).

 

Was I alone in seeing the irony of such religious ritual in the name

of a man who said this world is a figment of mind and that we are all

One? It seemed so.

 

I watched as the Western white people with Indian garb and close-

cropped hair followed the program of religious advocates across the

world. They wore the uniform and copied the haircut of the 'holy men'

they so wished they could have been.

 

I briefly met a lovely guy from Scotland with an accent that sounded

surreal when contrasted with his 'holy man' crew-cut and Hindu tunic.

He walked, like so many of his West-finds-East persuasion, with a

slowness and deliberation of footstep, as if traversing some

invisible tightrope in the floor.

 

This is not religious 'enlightenment', it's a software program.

 

I am not knocking such people or seeking to ridicule them. They

should wear what they like and look how they like. What they do is

none of my business and what a bore if everyone looked like me in my

baggy trousers and T-shirt.

 

My point is exactly that – it doesn't matter how you wear your body

or your hair. Enlightenment is not a fashion statement; it is a state

of being.

 

Those who think they need the outward persona are missing something

very profound. They are still focussed on the 'out there' reality

while believing they are going 'within'. They think they are

accessing infinite consciousness when it is all going on in their

finite mind of images and 'things'.
