2017 Silver Shield Gandhi - disOBEY Series

2017 Silver Shield Gandhi | DisObey Micro Mintage SeriesTotal Mintage Of Only 700!The new Silver Shield disOBEY series pays tribute to the masters of non violent, non compliance throughout the ages.Perhaps the single greatest activist using non violent, non compliance is Mahatma Gandhi. Through his tireless education and persistence he sought to free 330 million Indians from the grips of the 100,000 British invaders from the largest Empire ever.When Gandhi was a young man, he sought to work within the British system as a lawyer promoting Indian justice to the racist and oppressive British governance. After many years of trying to work within the system he saw that true power for change always came from outside the rigged game and inside the highest individual actions.“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma GandhiHe was mocked, arrested, beaten and betrayed and yet he persisted in the moral principals over violent reaction. On a conscious level, he promoted conscious individual solutions to the unconscious collective problems the Indian people faced. He knew violence was born out of unconscious behavior and would gladly be met by the British occupiers. Instead he focused the Indian people to see that all the power was within them. They simply had to not support a system that was rigged against them.“Your beliefs become your thoughts,Your thoughts become your words,Your words become your actions,Your actions become your habits,Your habits become your values,Your values become your destiny.”― Mahatma GandhiLike a light shinning in the darkness, what becomes conscious can no longer be unconsciously done. This brought about a divine certainty of seeing the big picture and know that you simply must stay true to what is right and you will win. “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”― Mahatma GandhiThis will be apart of the 6 Proof Series of disOBEY.1. Thoreau2. Gandhi3. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn4. Martin Luther King5. John Lennon6. Dalai Lama
