“Revolution is political, rebellion is spiritual. Revolution wants to change the outside world, rebellion changes your consciousness. Become a joyful rebel. The society, the church, the establishment, the status quo, the mainstream media and the rich do not want people to grow up to mature individuals. They want to enslave people, to keep people afraid, dependent and obedient. The spiritual journey means to first become a mature adult, and then to transform your consciousness so that you can attin to love, silence, joy, truth, freedom and to be one with the whole. That is to attain to the rebellion of the heart.”
