Self theory ? yes please.

I came across a post “Self Theory” on my friend, Nadig's blog :

the world can only be turned right side up by the conscious collective activity of those who construct a theory of why it is upside down. Spontaneous rebellion alone is not sufficient. Without adequate advance preparation, the old world will simply reappear after any rebellion, embedded as it is in the psyches of the fabled people. an authentic revolution can only occur if there is a coherent and practical mass movement of self-conscious individuals in which all of the mystifications of the past are being consciously swept away.

It counts among the most intelligent things I have ever heard anyone say. Thought I should share it with you.
I don’t really read philosophy or any thing even remotely similar. But this particular post caught my attention. Past few months of my life have been quite testing. Trying to make people "see" something is a hard job. The closer they are the harder it gets. When all the rebellion and revolutions were done with, things did reappear as before, frustratingly, unchanged. They re-appeared so convincingly that they nearly shook the very foundations on which both my sanity and insanity stood, threatening to topple both.
Rebellion only encapsulates us from "reality" for a short but very re-assuring period. It is a spontaneous reaction and as I later found out, pretty much useless. Though useless, its quite important. It assures the individual that he is not part of the grind and has a mind of his own.
I for one am convinced that there will be no "coherent and practical mass movement". My society hasn’t seen a mass movement for decades now, I’m sure. Cable TV was the closest. Shame.
