Does expanded consciousness support politics, or are the incompatible?

You said.

This is a very interesting question. I'm stumped actually. Maybe you could offer a scenario for comparison?
Kind Regards, Deborah

Yeah it does, the cosmo conception is a good start on how that evolves

In doing my radio show on Clear Channel
for 5 years I was often asked if VIRATO
LIVE! was political. My quick answer was
no. From the popular viewpoint:
Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Tea
Party, Communist Party, Anarchist, etc.
I still would say no.
However, no matter how enlightened we
may be, we are still in our bodies as human creatures, with our foibles.
While I know that here are Buddhas and
Indigos out there, for the most part
people are mostly ignorant, myself included, by the way.
When a point-of-view comes wrapped in
zealousness it seems to lead to
politics, and mostly all ego-based.
I always have a hard time in
understanding why those Buddhist monks
burned themselves alive for some
political cause, no matter how noble or
just.

Then I'd have to say, 'no'. Governing doesn't require politics and enlightenment can't be governed.
