Subversion and resistance revisited from an integrated perspective. An ending of polarisation and taking sides comes as a consequence of being able to explore and empathise with most divergent opposing parts that reside within us. Yet our internal worlds are polarised to the point of suppression and at this point external world becomes a canvass on which that internal polarisation is played out by every person: recycling a narrative of good and evil; war and peace. We must recognise that by judging something as good we automatically make the opposite of it bad.

A fight against external oppression reflects a deeper divide between parts within us. Therefore, our primary tool of liberation becomes self-awareness and integration of our most demonised parts within. We are free to the point we have a choice, and the degree of choice is determined by our level of awareness.

 

Community and connection becomes an antidote to status-quo of societal idealisation of isolating independence.
