Russell Brand Explains Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution

“A small minority cannot control an uncooperative majority, so they must be distracted, divided, tyrannized, or anaesthetized into compliance.”

Politics  really needs to be the administration of certain spiritual principles like: we are all one, we are all together and every individual’s rights need to be respected. We need to see politics as implementing, oneness, togetherness, tolerance and making sure that the people are taken care of.

We need a spiritual revolution more than a political one.

I believe profoundly in the power of humanity in connecting. I believe we are all connected and there is an inevitability that there will be a successful revolution. I think this is a changing consciousness that we are all experiencing meaning we will survive.

“We have been told that freedom is the ability to pursue petty, trivial desires when true freedom is freedom from these petty, trivial desires.”

There has to be massive and radical changes in power structures. We need to look at the world as one inclusive identity, we need to look at how many people are on the planet and look at what resources are available and the most sensible things to do.

“In the U.S., the 400 richest people have as much as 185 million people, over 60 percent of the population. As absurd as that is, on a global scale, the richest 85 people have as much as 3.5 billion people, half of humanity!”

You can’t define yourself in reference to external things you must define yourself internally in relation to a higher entity seeing yourself as a manifestation as a higher thing a higher frequency. Get yourself in alignment with that and you will beam like the sun.

“It’s difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you.”

I believe in Oneness but we all believe so much in our relative identities, these flesh puppets. I do also believe in individualism and personal identity, but these things are transient, what’s really important what defines us is things we all share like unity and togetherness. As long as we have cultural narratives that suppress these ideas and even rubbish these ideas in favour of selfishness, lust and greed and as long as we believe in these selfish ideas we will be exploited by corporations that prey on all these negative facets of humanity.

There is going to be a revolution. It is going to happen. I haven’t got a flicker of doubt this is the end. This is time to wake up.

“I think many of the boundaries that convention has placed upon us are arbitrary, so we can fiddle with them if we fancy. Gravity’s hard to dispute, and breathing, but a lot of things we instinctively obey are a lot of old rubbish.”

There may have been darkness for thousands of years but as soon as the match is struck there is light there. The light is coming.
