THOMAS JEFFERSON ADVOCATED PERIODIC REVOLUTIONS FOR AMERICA
The forms of government known as Democracy and Republicanism (or just plain Republic) are divine forms of government only because they accurately reflect two Polar Opposites.
In a Democracy the collective will always wins, i.e. the majority rules, thereby usurping the choice of the minority.
But in a Republic, no number of persons can overrule any one individual, because that one man’s Free Will Choice is considered as sovereign as everyone else’s choice.
In spiritual terms this means that (as in a democracy) the world we see around us is the result of our collective will, i.e., what we create with our spiritual or magickal power.
Conversely the world we see around us (as in a Republic) is a reflection of all that is trying to lord over the individual, attempting to overpower his sovereignty.
In spiritual circles, Free Will is The Rule. Any collective will that overpowers that is considered wrong, evil.
And yet, isn’t this exactly what we have in America? A land that proclaims Republic-style Free Will and autonomy for the individual whilst simultaneously trying to take it away from him in the form of Democratically drafted laws that force all to follow its dictates against their Will?
Indeed, America may just have the most accurate governmental reflection of Polar Extremes.
Thomas Jefferson recommended a revolution every 20 years or so. Perhaps he knew quite well the dangers of never ‘shaking up’ a governmental system, lest one side totally dominate the other.
Just short of completely eradicating government altogether, sounds like Jefferson had as good an idea for America as I have ever heard.
