The Source of Oppression
Oppression by repressive states trying to advance the interests of dominant
classes goes back centuries, and history has stood witness to countless
social movements in opposition to it.
There have been instances when the oppressed have risen and put up a determined fight and won,
through a series of rebellions and revolutions that have brought about social
transformations across the globe (Kenneth Neill Cameron, Humanity and Society: A World History).
But repressive states have always succeeded in keeping the people down through violence
and manipulation. This oppression has its origin in avarice and fear – the
oppressors are terrified of the public - biproducts of human Ego. (More on avarice later.)
Our mind is the biproduct of our experiences. It is a mixture of our thoughts, emotions, opinions,
and beliefs regarding a subject or experience. The mind is consciousness,
infused with the consequences of one’s experiences.
How Mind Splits into Ego
Ego is the identity developed over the years through your worldly experiences.
Every experience of ours, cuts into the psyche and leaves a scar. Future similar
experiences roll through the channel of the same scar making it deeper - just
like water channels through a canyon.
Ego is the dividing of the emotional associations of the Mind through opinions,
biases, and beliefs in relationship to people, and stuff.
When you identify with a particular experience of the mind by modifying your behaviour
and expectations in any way, the Ego is born. This Ego begins identifying
itself as a single, isolated, and discrete entity attached to the contents
of the mind, and isolated from everything else in the environment.
With the birth of Ego, we humans are easily diverted from living by our highest principles.
We do not question anymore if our thoughts and intentions are in harmony with nature.
We do anything to ensure the survival of the Ego. This importance that we attach to the Ego,
is the veil that distorts our discriminative faculties.
The Ego has the cunning ability to poison even the most noble of ventures.
If it creeps into our endeavours, it is like a cancer. Therefore, we must
keep strict vigilance over all our intentions lest we lose our way.
Everyone wants to have an extraordinary life. They don’t realize that it is leading the
ordinary life, that takes extraordinary courage.
It’s becoming apparent that there was no end to malpractice when it came to me.
The Hippocratic Oath were being violated haphazardly, despite hanging
right in front of their faces in their offices.
