What is the relationship between politics and the three different levels of consciousness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Politics thrives in the instinctive layer of consciousness, but as we ascend to awareness, the need for comparison and domination fades, giving way to love and cooperation."
According to Osho, politics belongs to the instinctive layer of consciousness—the jungle law of will-to-power—and seeps into all power games, from states to gender relations. As one moves from instinct to mind and finally to awareness, comparison and domination lose meaning; politics withers. At the highest consciousness, cooperation, love, and equality replace power strategies.
Politics is trying to be stronger than others; as you grow inwardly, you stop power games and start caring and sharing.
Why this matters practically
- Spot hidden power games in relationships and step out of them.
- Shift from competition to cooperation by raising awareness.
- Choose equality and respect over domination in daily decisions.
