The Perfect Political System & Ideology

Can the existence of such a system even exist as a possibility?

Although this is a new article, in many respects it follows on from the article Act, Don’t React. In that article we looked at the difference, from a consciousness perspective, between acting and reacting and came to see that a certain degree of ‘internal space’ is required in order to truly take any conscious action. It then became clearer that many of the times when we think we are consciously acting, we are in fact just reacting as a result of a block in our conscious perception, which is usually there because of some unintegrated experience involving some external phenomenon.

Over the course of that article, we then also started to look at what these reactions can appear to us as, not just on an individual level, but also in larger groupings of people, and even in society as a whole. We saw how, if we are unable to consciously act, then many of our ‘actions’ are really just reactions to events which have occurred in the past, even if the link between the past and present is something that is not so obvious to us. Hopefully after having read that article the reader is able to see the value and importance of acting rather than reacting.

I have briefly summarized what was covered in that article at the start of this article, but the reader is encouraged to read that article to aid them in understanding what is to follow here. One of the examples that was looked at in that article, relating to the various ways in which we react as a collective of individuals, specifically looked at this phenomenon within the context of political systems that have existed in the past. It brought up some interesting points which are worth delving deeper into in this article, especially once we have internally realised the difference between taking action and reacting.

The political debate is something which seems to have gone on since time immemorial, with a variety of different ideologies and systems having been instated over millennia, with varying degrees of success. Although we may perhaps say that some of them were ‘better’ than others, there has never been a conclusive consensus reached with regards to what the ‘best’ system is and why. As we develop our conscious perception, this topic becomes increasingly relevant because we start to see through the more phenomenal aspects of conversations surrounding subjects such as politics and end up coming far closer to the reality of things.

Some questions we may generally think of that relate to this topic could be: What is the best political and ideological system? Is it possible that any of these could ever be perfect? If so, how could this happen? From a consciousness perspective, how does this topic relate to our own personal growth? What insights can we gain from this topic which can help us with our own personal growth? Broadly speaking, it is these questions which will be looked at over the course of this article.

A World Divided

A quick glance at the world today brings into our awareness a variety of different conversations, discussions, arguments and conflicts which are going on that relate to different aspects of our lives. These are what we may consider to be the ‘hot’ topics of conversation, the pertinent issues of the day, or the crises. The particular nature of these issues tends to change, but nevertheless they seem to continue to persist in one form or another. Fundamentally though, what lies behind all of these interactions is our collective attempt to identify, implement, and arrive at a ‘perfect’ system; one which is ‘perfect’ for all.
