iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 22nd September 2019 What we need is a ‘meeting place’ – or ‘space’ – where there can be a convergence of Minds – a coming together of thoughts – ideas. An opportunity to reflect – and to discuss the ‘mechanisms’ necessary for a civil - and at last – just and fair society. What would this ‘meeting place’ comprise? – A joyous community of individuals who share the view that each of us, as individual Beings, are sovereign and free. With each aspiring to live the ‘noble life’ – to pursue superior ideals – ‘the dream’ – to bring Heaven down to Earth. I hear some say – ‘a utopian dream’ – surely a place like this does not - and cannot exist… this ‘meeting place.’ Others will say - surely a place like this can exist – and must exist – because if it doesn’t – we’re in trouble. Tommy Robinson – a ‘populist’ UK campaigner and activist – (for info click here) known for his outspoken comments about Muslims, race, immigration, child grooming and sex abuse - was released from prison this week. Interviewed upon release – in addition to comments about his imprisonment – interestingly, referred to a conversation he allegedly had with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, whilst in prison - and highlighted the latters current plight – still being held in Belmarsh prison for breach of bail and extradition (to read more about Julian Assange's story - click here.) Tommy Robinson articulated a damning insight into the UK judicial system – in particular, the country’s contempt laws under which provision he had been jailed (to read the article - click here.) In relation to the imprisonment of both Julian Assange and Tommy Robinson - there are serious question marks about why these men were jailed in the first place. As a UK ‘populist’ some would say 'rabble-rouser' on immigration – others would use even harsher words like ‘racist’ (links to some of his critics are provided at the end of this article) – I am aware that Tommy Robinson is usually regarded as a polarising force – but it is in relation to the imprisonment, both men have experienced, which is of interest here – since through this shared experience, it seems that they may have found a ‘commonality of purpose.’ This is important, because it seems to me that in the light of the serious social and civil liberties issues facing our communities and raised by both men – ‘commonalities of purpose’ and ‘meeting places’ – of ‘Minds’ and ‘ideas’ are extremely important. As with all things - the first point of conception is in the Mind – it all starts with an idea – a dream – Martin Luther King – most famously articulated his dream – which in fact, was the people’s dream, buried deep within their anguished minds and lives – was hope. (click here for Martin Luther King's speech.) It is clear that one man or woman’s dream or vision - can in fact become the reality for the masses – and all can reap the benefits of a vision that once began in the Mind of an individual – who refused to accept the injustice, inequality and sheer human brutality, they had witnessed or experienced. We have seen such cases in history, time and time again. There is great power that can be found in a ‘meeting space’ – where individual Minds – with individual ‘dreams’ – come together – and find common purpose - with one another. A ‘meeting place?’ - where individual ‘visions’ – ‘thoughts’ and ‘ideas’ – come together to form one ultimate vision – for Humanity – what is this vision? - What will it look like? …Perhaps, the answer can be found, in what each leader – and indeed each human being - has in common with one another? The right to – true Individual Sovereignty - Liberty – Freedom of speech. It seems to me – this is what Humanity should be moving towards – a ‘meeting place’ - for all!
