What exact benefits are there to patriotism?
1) I have to get up every morning to raise a flag on my flag pole.
2) I have to get out of bed every night to lower the flag from my flag pole.
3) I have to actually listen to the anthem being sung
4) I have to create some perplexed unmovable image of what Australia is. And then without any objections or questioning , I have to denounce a whole people when one raises questions with the image, regardless of whether I agree or not.
5) I have to pledge allegiance daily.
Where are the benefits here, Aqua?
Patriotism has two forms.
The patriotism of the strengthened collective ego is an ego driven "low consciousness" form of patriotism.
So north korea or a british football club or a bikie club are really acting from a "strengthening" of the ego which is always bad.
This can lead to mental illness. a national paranoia.
The type of patriotism i am talking of comes from a different place.
It comes from a place of high consciousness.
It comes from very mindfully and deliberately producing something "awesome"
And then, yawn, very consciously and deliberately celebrating your awesomeness and protecting your awesomeness from the inevitable attack.
"all the good you create will be attacked"
Think of it like an awesome nightclub.
inside everyone is letting their hair down, there is a "reduced ego" as people really are all on purpose, they are all vibing with each other.
Egos get strengthened and go to lower consciousness when there is conflict, anger, judgement.
So we have this awesome club atmosphere, like a rave if you like (though no drugs).
we have a really strong gate.
No one gets into our club / country who isnt going to fit in with this vibe.
Why would we want to go to lower levels of consciousness?
people are so dammed proud.
they love their club
they think its the shiiiit.
thats how aussies should feel about OZ.
wow, we have made a dope-assss club.
we are all raving . theres no judgement. theres no big egos.
if your angry, negative, a cry baby or an assshole, the bouncers chuck you out til you get the right level of consciousness.
i think this is why leftards hate patriotism.
the leftard looks at all those happy families in non judgemental parties on australia day, kicking back, vibing, feeling the love and he looks at his own mediocre life.
He watches Q and A. everyone is judgemental, emotional, angry, not listening, just getting their point across, everyone is operating from big ego, everyones ego is being inflated by their own sense of outrage, the twitter feed is all negative, judging other people, spiteful and bitter, its all ego driven.
the leftard needs to let his hair down, become mindful and get into the club with the rightards who are partying and just being the shiiiit. you cant come in til you drop your ego attachment to your negative neuroisis though.
and when you come in, you have to be real proud of the awesomeness that is rightardism and the awesomeness that is australia
