God Music and the Sense of belonging.

Please ignore the English and stay focused on the content.

This is the last blog of the year so I wish everyone happy holidays.

I hope our wars come to end so the individuals can feel like a human being. Loss of love is the worse feelings for human beings so that emotional knowledge of pain causes everyone wants to rob love from each other in revenge, which is the cause of our perpetual sufferings.

When it comes to love, I personally lean towards universal love (read love triangle). I  do care how people around me think about me, but somehow, I feel strongly about humanity and want to show the picture how I want to see the world in my living years. 

I feel the responsibility to contribute with my knowledge if it can help the people to see beyond the boundaries of their respected religions, nations or race. If you feel you are stuck in the politics of the sense of belonging as an individual you have the potential to grow out of that knowledge which is compelling you stay with the status quo. 

Taking sense of belonging to extreme is an emotional trait of human beings. Self-destruction has been with us from the beginning. There may have been a lot of research done about our behavior but ordinary folks do not understand emotions that well. Three things touch us in the zone what we don’t really understand—God, music and the sense of belonging.
Should we learn more about these phenomenon?

We also need to control our extreme behavior. As an individual, you can put everything you got into community. It is great for the community, but you are and should be your best friend, you are your best shoulder to cry and you are your best confidant. Not some community member. The only way you can be your friend is if you raise yourself to the CEO’s level and do justice to yourself and the community you belong to simultaneously.

 I call the sense of belonging an emotion, because it has the power to cloud even a brilliant mind.

Keeping yourself neat and clean is a social education and duty. It is human education. God has nothing to with it. Picture a mother or father who cleans up the baby. They do not care if the baby gets dirty again. Their love is greater than the feelings of responsibilities.

When parents raise a child, they want to install their knowledge in their off-springs, but if they do not encourage the child to explore and evolve, they are doing a disservice not only to the child but to the humanity thus they are working against God’s will. No child should be locked into  turning exactly like parents.  

Every individual who goes to mosque, church, synagogue or temple, wants to taste spirituality, but ends up exposed to hatred and group politics. They glorify war stories, or stories of victimization are part of the sermons, and compassion,  forgiveness, sacrifice and love in the name of God is lost under the in these revenge related war stories.

Just remember we are evolving and our past stories are about less-evolved ancestors, if you think they were better than us think again, your one cell phone puts you far ahead of millions of brilliants of the past. Their actions were related to the animalistic side, where survival or marking territories for more power for their group was more important than thinking about the humanity as a whole. 

If you are impressed or disgusted by the past stories, it is time to forgive and forget, because today we are at a different level of evolution. Today, our actions are not limited to the sword or spears. Today, our actions can have far-reaching consequences. Remember World Wars I and II. There is no glory in wars even if you are the winner. Innocents die in wars, it maybe acceptable in the political world but in spirituality it is unacceptable.

We have been blessed with the free thus with the CEO status. As a CEO, you cannot let past stories, sense of belonging and emotional politics rule your actions. There is no collateral damage in God’s world. So before you take the wheel, remember to be sober. At the end of the day, you call the shots; you are the CEO, if you claim that you are were drunk that is why you got into an accident or you just can’t claim that you were doing you job. As a CEO those reasons are not good enough to put responsibility on something else.

Today, if we start to use our free will, become CEOs, and refuse to listen to the rhetoric of mullahs, priest, rabbis or political parties whom take us to the spiritual crimes, we will be able to create peace that no one has been able to produce for thousands of years.

If sense of belonging comes knocking at your door, you have to look at yourself first as an independent entity, then as a part of God. Remember humanity is one entity and we all are part of it, and our group politics thrives on our personal insecurity.

Ideologies separate us; dreams and anguish bring us together,” someone wrote whom I don’t know so I would say the author unknown.

 Unfortunately, we naturally feel more secure in a group so to us the idea of the whole humanity seems like a stranger, because of our barbaric past which has left us without trust especially when it comes to personal relationships and other nations. The thought of belonging to humanity gives the need to come out of national and racial prejudices, tough but potentially do able. Forgiving and forgetting past disputes need emotional intelligence for the individual so one can move on to find inner and outer peace. If you look at the background of all traditions and customs, you will find that they all relate to group identity. Turbans, hoods, beards or shaven heads have nothing to do with spirituality or God. They are all related to the group and our sense of belonging.  

I find it hard to understand why all cultures—advanced or backward—have lived for the future and afterlife. Maybe it is because of mortality and the political education related with the control.

Some live life as taught that this life is a test so they can have a better eternal life, which makes them to live small and save so they can leave their material assets behind. This strategy means this life has to be sacrificed for the life after death. Then there are people who are so insecure, that they try to secure themselves as if time is running out. Living for the future is promoted all over the world. This is part of your sense of belonging as well and is a smart strategy of the controllers. Suffering and hording is not new, people use to take their belongings to their graves.

Our banking system has created an extreme and an unfair class system. One can make money, buy properties, have a large business, lead a comfortable life but still one can only eat so much and use money a little more than one who lives in the poverty. It is all about feeling secure yet there is no security for a mortal man. If one still makes more than he/she spends, what happens to the rest? If there is family, it can be left for them, otherwise the government takes it or people use to leave it for the church, meanings the controlling authorities would have the political incentives to preach the frugal life style. Hoarding is a mental health issue when looked at the individual level, but no one looks at the hording of the money is an acceptable social disease as well because, even as a humanity we have sufferings from extreme poverty, starvation, disease and death.

We have been fighting wars, taking over the other’s resources and hording them. All empires have done it and it is still happening. The British, French, American, Chinese Russian  are still holding lands even faraway parts of the world. In our history, politics and religions have always defeated humanity.

As an Idealist, I believe we should have the United Nations as our international government, with its own law and order and taxing system and justice for each and every individual and all humanity. If it is done right, charities would not have to compete for donations and spend money on marketing. Instead, the money can go directly to those who need it. Poor should not have to depend on some insecure individual’s donations because the person would always be hoarding. Even if it is a small percentage, it will make a difference to the hungry and the dying. Rich countries would not hold poor countries as hostages with their political agendas. This kind of thinking does not make me a socialist. I am still for the individual and social liberties, but I am against hoarding and its politics of justification.

Every country already has a central government, provincial government, district governments and even divisional authorities. So why cannot we have an authority overriding all nations, races and religions. Presently, the United Nations may have a justice system but its enforcement have no powers over the veto power nations and face pressures from powerful nations to do the justice, thus has lost respect in all over the world and became an impotent organization. It could not even stop the small warring nations.

No one should go hungry if banks are full of money. Every child should have the right to live, without facing politics. All religions condemn poverty, yet we have been unable to remove poverty regardless of thousands of years evolution, just look at the religious buildings and the money laundering scandals.

Governments have to enforce taxes because they just can’t govern without helping the needy, no charity can help run the nation because as a human we all are somewhat insecure or at least are brainwashed to be insecure.

If all countries start levy 1 per cent poverty tax on sales of goods, hunger can be removed from the face of the earth!

If no one dismantles the hoarding, children will continue to starve. It is time to find a solid solution. Group politics and sense of belonging will come in the way. But you can think of belonging to humanity as a whole rather than your group.

Life is not just about the numbers and scientific facts, yet some of us look at life as numbers and do the math, as if everything will turn out as predicted. Our lives are unpredictable regardless of all the numbers and scientific facts, just look around, everyone wants to be doctor or a lawyer but how do you become night cleaner or worse being homeless.  

Being CEOs, we have to find our balance. If we reject all religions and God and become atheist, we are looking at life from an extreme. This does not give you the answers. God has blessed man with free will and it is man’s choice to choose the extreme or find a balance because your melody of life is beneficial or harmful to you as an individual.

Today, we are considered evolved and a scientific force and we have thousands of years of religious knowledge under our wings, but when you look at our social problems, we just seem to be  beasts. Should we still call ourselves higher than other creatures? Or say the natural selection is the base of our evolution. You cannot argue with facts because facts have been changing, yet one fact has not changed: we are still the beasts at times.

Our inhibitions have made us  the human being from a beast, but our sense of belonging affects our  free spirits and it can become the shackles to rob the individual from his/her happiness. If a mortal loses happiness it is the loss of everything because of the mortality.

With the free will, there is a bigger picture at play: You can make decisions yet at the same time life happens to you!

The social doctrines are like a song society gives you to sing but with the free will God gives you a choice to over ride your song of sense of belonging, which you have sung so often that you start to think it as your own song. If you believe that the thoughts you have are your own, think again. If you are not trying to fit in or trying to impress or be admired by the others, only then you are thinking your own thoughts.            

There is nothing wrong to be a player in the team but you are a perfectly functioning independent organism as well. So when it comes to healthy living and survival, you have to play the role of an independent entity. You cannot let insecurities rule you and make you give up your God given status of a CEO. 

Nations brutalize other nations, sometimes in the name of empire, sometimes in the name of God. Land and its resources have been the cause of conflicts and politicians have been using nationalism and religions to attain their political agendas for thousands of years. Group politics and greed has created a gap in wealth distribution throughout the world. Today, we are drawn to better paying jobs even we have to travel to faraway lands. This brain drain is encouraged by developed countries. So their strength grows. The powerful nations keep pulling people from all over the world, without giving second thought to the effects. We should train and educate people all over the world  so they can fight against the poverty. As the population grows so does the poverty unless we all start to think as one organism, because sooner or later our policies come back to bite.

We are all part of humanity so our actions should help instead of hurting humanity. If you want to belong, belong to humanity, instead of a certain group, race, nation or religion.

Being a part of humanity can inspire and activate individuals throughout the world. It has the power to strengthen the economy and raise living standards, eradicating hunger and poverty. Independence and self-reliance is a natural desire. If inspired by the feelings of being a part of the whole humanity, the peace can be achieved, otherwise people will always be slaves of the sense of belonging to their immediate groups, nations, race or religions and thus always fighting to dominate each other.

Our history shows that our civilizations have gone up and down because of wars which have kept us from realizing our potential. It will be easy to focus on achieving the potential to evolve, if the whole humanity works together. Even God would help because in a sense, God is humanity and humanity is God.        

The theory of big bang start or the end of the earth seems convincing, which makes it popular and acceptable throughout the world. From religions to science, we have been accepting lots of theories about our beginning and our end but always with assumptions. Even science cannot provide solid proof of the beginning or the end. Existence of God is as mysterious as it was thousands of years ago. There is no advancement in human intelligence in terms of religion. We still kill each other over it like we used to do thousands of years ago. Today we have bigger bombs with the help of science. So will science help in proving religious theories? Will we explode or implode? Do we have an inevitable end as predicted in the holy books? Can we change the inevitable?

I believe we have the ability to change the inevitable. We just have to understand evolution and our potential. We have always prayed to change the circumstances. Today, we have to learn to live with each other with our differences. Do we have the power to protect human race and other life forms?

Our life is made possible and sustained by synergistic, rhythmic and continuous natural systems. If one claims that there is no one who is responsible for the harmonious melody, he/she should look at incomplete knowledge critically, if you can’t access your total brain power how can you make a judgement about something you can’t comprehend. We are not a finished product and are still an evolving organism. Instead of insisting the correctness of their ancestral knowledge we should say no to egotistic stubbornness, which has been claiming unaccountable innocent lives.

Today, if we feed a hypothetical situation into the computer, we get  the devastating assumptions that ruin our present and make the future scary.

Religion has been using people ‘s insecurity and fear for thousands of years, yet religion is the source of hope. This puts an ordinary man in a confusing position so he obeys because of lack personal spiritual knowledge. If you do not question, you cannot find answers. How can one seek answers without disrespecting authority of the religions? You are told believe blindly, without a doubts, because that way, you give your powers to the powerful, and that’s the politics. They use the power to control everybody, including the extremists, who then hold you hostage.

Religions and emotions have one thing in common. They do not have a solid foundation. If religion crosses spiritual boundaries, it becomes authoritarian and dictatorial, especially if you mix emotionally-charged people in power. Governing people should never be an emotional matter. It should be based on well thought out constitutions with room for amendments. If you believe that all religions came from God, why do we have so many religions? Should we believe that God cannot make up the mind?

We have been killing each other for thousands of years in God’s name. All religions ask its emotional followers to blindly believe. If this is the message coming from all religions, how can it be corrected? The bottom line is the individual’s own belief system. Only with the CEO’s eyes one can see the politics hidden behind the name of God. Since it is almost impossible to separate religions and emotions for most people, politicians take advantage of this.

Some people talk and love to hear people talking about them—it is a sign of insecurity. Some talk about other people—it is a sign of smaller living. Some talk about issues and events that affect humanity—it is a sign of someone seeking his or her potential. The mortality will always keep us insecure. Since we all are insecure, we fall in love with religions and its stories. If someone questions these stories, he is condemned, and even murdered.

If we were meant to be obedient, why did we get free will?

Evolution does not mean we are going to grow wings,horns or change our colors. If you can learn new things, grow more muscles, fight infections or be able to live well in a polluted environment, you are evolving. I believe every creature including human being has been created with potential to evolve, and for us to achieve our super organism status we need spirituality not religions. Spirituality brings peace and harmony. If you long to belong, belong to humanity.

If the whole humanity gets together, we can change the predictions in the holy books. God granted us free will for a reason and this is the time we use it. It is the time to come out of the boundaries. Whether it is religion or sense of belonging, it is time for spirituality to be the priority.

If you look at the fundamentals of religions, common sense makes a beast into a spiritual being. Being spiritual means we need to look beyond our selves and evolve to help humanity, thus God. Somehow we bought into the politics of our sense of belonging to our belonging groups thus we cannot. We band together with our kind, whether it is a family, gang, community, nation, race, gender or religion. It is because we find security in numbers.

Westerners say Muslims are rigid; they fight and do not give up. I think when politics overpowers religion; it fails to represent humanity like spirituality does.

Islam has five pillars and one of them is jihad, a concept which is being abused. In spiritual terms, jihad means to get together to fight. Fight what? Could it be the enemy who is hell bent to destroy you or it could even be poverty, hunger, disease or anything against humanity or God. Politics has been able to twist noble teachings of spirituality and use God and religion. The real meaning of jihad is to help humanity get rid of wars and injustice.                  

Most religions are strict with rules. They leave little room for the individual to breath. Religious people say God is doing everything for us, yet they follow strict rules and punish themselves it has twisted control.  

We have the ability to live this life with intellect but at the same time, life happens to us, so we need to balance both, instead of picking one. Since we have been blessed with the free will the individual happiness is a part of the deal from God. We need to enjoy this life while we do God’s work and serve humanity. It is the balance what matters; extremes are part of individual’s insecurities. They should not be a part of the community because collectively we should be smarter. When an individual chooses extremes, it affects his health and happiness but when a community chooses extreme, it is dangerous. We have seen this throughout history.

When we critically look at our education system, it seems inconsistent. You cannot teach children to be loving and peaceful and then send them to wars to kill and get killed.

You cannot tell them that everything in life is happening because of your actions or God’s will because in real life when they have to face life, they will fall apart. We need to tell them the truth and the truth takes the path nature has chosen for us. Straightforward and honest truth helps to create CEOs, the balanced individuals who know how to fly solo.

It is ironic that mullahs and priests preach God’s words and believe that God is merciful yet want you to follow rules with the fear of God. They want you live your life in control or face punishment. If God is forgiving, why are we presenting God as punisher? There is no set way of us to live, because we are always evolving, and that evolution is a fact.

This life is heaven and hell at the same time, depending on the individual’s circumstances and attitude. If one is aware of guilt, killing an innocent can make this life hell.

Militaries and religious extremists work hard to recruit people when they are young. The motive is to make them emotionless killing machines. We raise our children to be good citizens; we tell them to live in peace. Yet as they grow up, we give them guns to kill other human beings and sometime the innocents. There is a contradiction in education, but no one is willing to take the responsibility. So I believe its up to the individual to rise up and assume the duties of a CEO.

When prophet have spiritual awakening, when they receive the Words of God, the words are processed by their brains. Every religion starts from those words and gets politicised as it evolves, the sense of belonging creeps in to taint it. When they teach others, the words are their own interpretations and filled with their emotions and sense of belonging. Our experience of the world affect our thinking and especially the politics of our sense of belonging has the potential to even change our spiritual thinking, our values have been changing with time today it is a different ball game the risk is to great not to become a CEO.

 

Truth and Reconciliation

Please ignore the English and stay focused on the content.

 

The whole theme of my blog is to work against the prejudice and sense of belonging to a group instead of the humanity as a whole related injustice. Today we are talking about the truth and reconciliation in Canada, and there are calls for the pope to apologize for the crimes committed by the church. I remember a while back government of Canada had apologized for the atrocities committed against the native population, did that help? If it was that simple it would have been done long time ago.

There has always been a segment in all human populations whom believes in religious extreme, if you can convince them that there are things we are learning everyday, which is a proof that we are still evolving and our knowledge has not been completed. We are not able to use our total brain capacity yet, thus every human knowledge is not a finished product even our holy books had not helped us to become emotionally intelligent. We actually act worse with the extreme of our religions, the proof is in the pudding just look around in the present days and in our history, there is no way any one can put a number on the death toll of our belief systems. If they are convinced then and only then we would have some peace on earth, our wars and spiritual crimes will stop, otherwise the history would always repeat itself because we are the creature who gets emotionally hurt because of the love loss thus we want the revenge killings so the other whom cause the pain can feel the same pain.

We have been evolving, but there is a disconnect, our weapons of mass destruction have progressed more than our emotional intelligence. We have been killing and still proudly announce our intentions to kill other human beings on the name of our nations or religions just like our past generations did. We elect people whom want to go to wars so we all are responsible for our problems, especially when it comes to security we are compelled to think short term. Today people like Trump are popular Bush was re-elected regardless of the blunders.

I relate it all with our emotional intelligence if we still want to strip ourselves to a naked apes, our jewellery does not mean anything. I ask all the religious peoples what are the fundamentals of religious teachings? Does religion teach compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love?  Of course, all religions talk about all these things but for their own believers. When it comes to other human beings, we tend to like to get naked. Where are the religious people of the world, if you really look for them they are killing and dying for their religions because that is what they are taught by their sense of belonging, so they are in the trenches to fight each other instead of talking peace. 

If you look at the meanings of Islam and the greetings to each other when people meet it is all peace and peace and we even send peace to our dead ones. Is there something wrong in the foundation, or it just has gone wrong because of the politics of the sense of belonging to a group? If you look at the in fighting, that politics of our sense of belonging has been eating us all alive. Just like Shia, Sunni in the Muslims, extremists in all religions have been killing each other, from the same faith but have been killing each other for centuries. Nations have been killing each other for as long as the civilization can remember. From slavery to burning witches to conquering other peoples lands disrespecting, insulting and humiliating others have been our past just like baboons. Did we evolve from that nasty beast? maybe a little bit, we have learnt to live in harmony in the western countries under the same law and order. It can be done in all over the world, but we have a long way to go. In Canada we have Native issues as well as French Quebec which even this day and age have French language police, I find it strange that they don’t really go for the religions but still want to have special rights and be treated differently than the most Canadian, there is a politics of us and them or I should say the politics of the sense of belonging to their respected groups.

I read a little story when I was growing up, I have no idea who wrote it, so I would quote as  the author unknown. I am going to bring in the Canadian political situation. I am going to connect the sons of the old man as provinces, territories and Natives and the old man as Canada.

There once was an old man who was dying, he sent for all his sons to visit him before he died. He put a demand for all of them to bring two sticks along. When they all came and gathered up in the room, the old man said bring out the sticks and hold one of them. They all did what was asked, then the old man ordered them to break the sticks, they all did with ease. Then he said get all the other sticks together and make a bundle, they did so, then the old man asked each and everyone to try to break the bundle. They all tried but even with the best of their efforts they were not able to break it. The moral of the story is that if you stick together regardless of the differences you are stronger.

All Canadians including Natives, French, English, male, female, black, white, red, brown, yellow, Muslim, Christian, Jews, Hindu, Sikh, Gay, straight, conservative, liberal ND piers are all Canadian citizens. If you are taught you are better than others you have been taught wrong and as an individual you have a duty to educate yourself to be a human being first and then assume an identity of any other sort. Regardless of your identity of being Canadian after all you are born to the human family and have passed the test of being a human being thus act like one and proudly wear your jewelry. Be compassionate, forgiving, sacrificing and loving human beings just like we are with the Syrian refugees we should be with each others as well. If we wear our jewellery we may never have to go through something like conforming kids to a religion by force and abuse.  

 

 

So should we forgive and forget our past on the base of that thinking that most of our problems are related with the politics of sense of belonging to our belonging groups, of course we should. Most individuals whom commit crimes against humanity have been told that they are better than all other human beings and they really, really and whole heartedly believed what their belonging groups had preached to them. They committed the spiritual crimes against the humanity on the name of their nation, race or religions. If you dig deep enough you will find even today, we have the same culture of prejudice in all nations and religions.

As long as we have the education systems influenced by the politics of our sense of belonging to our  race, gender, nation or religion, we will have Isis, Putin and Donald trump. As an individual, if our sense of belonging over powers our sense of freedom we just can’t be the CEO of our lives, and would never be able to stop or change our sense of belonging from a group to the whole humanity.

Bombing and terror would continue, but if we all want to get rid of our past and evolve, we have to start believing that we belong to the whole humanity and there has never been is or will be us and them. It has always been is and will always be related with the politics of a certain group.

Just like two hundred countries signed to work against the global warming, we need to gather together to cross the lines of our sense of belonging to certain groups and join the humanity as a whole to work together in all areas of life. Today we are able to look back into our past and are able to see the mistakes made by our ancestors.

If you look at the bombing and terrorism, it fits in the same area where both parties are justifying their actions because of loyalties or I should say the politics of sense of belonging to their respective groups. I personally believe the ordinary individual has to rise up and assume the responsibilities of his/her life as a CEO. The CEO who can personally decide what is spiritually right. Racially, nationally or religiously right things have been proven spiritually wrong so they have to be changed from the bottom up.

Collectively group politics would never allow the individual to be that educated to make free decisions, it has been true throughout our history but today the individuals are connected together from both competing sides via internet. If they choose, they can take the wind out of the sails of nationalism and religion related politics. If you look deeply, you will find, it is the politics of sense of belonging which compels the religions, and the nations to promotes hate and prejudice. This politics of sense of belonging is directly related to the individual thus he/she can make a decision to choose humanity or belonging group.

Always remember there is a little prejudice inside of every human individual. Is it a good thing for you, it is up to you to decide how much but when this prejudice takes you to commit spiritual crimes, in the end of the day you as an individual are responsible for your actions. You may go ahead and commit those crimes because you are just doing your job, but your coming generations may have to apologize for your actions. You may think or say I am just defending or taking revenge of what has been done to my belonging group. I can feel for the personal loss for every individual but human being is a human being because of these four jewels. Compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love. If you strip someone or even yourself for whatever reason you lose from both side as a human being. Not only you rob others of love, what had happed to you and you are committing the same spiritual crime committed by the others against you.

We are a higher entity or at least are connected to the one which does not act in anger physically, contrary to the common belief I believe God is not the one who punishes, it is a physical human trait. Since God is our spiritual side we all have the potential to act spiritually.

Bruised fruit

Please ignore the English, and stay focus on the content.

Picture your self in the produce section in the super market and you are picking out some fruit to buy, intentionally you are not going to buy the bruised fruits, but when it comes to our life, its just like the Forest Gump said you never know what you are going to get. Now when you got what is yours to deal with, you have to put things in perspectives.

I believe we all have been given this life as a package, so we as an individual are the real owner of this package thus are able to call the shots during our life time on this earth regardless of the influences. If you are raised as an extension of a family, community, race, nation or an ideology, my question to you is, where, when, why and how do you use your free will? If you are lead to believe that you don’t have one my suggestion to you is to look a little deeper inside of you to find your real value. Do you really, and all the time let others call the shots for you? If you do, then what is the real purpose of your life? Are you unhappy? Do you really know the dead dog of your(Read the Dead dog) unhappiness? How much say do you think you have in your life?

Do you know there is an order of nature in all species including human beings, do you know if you are an alpha or beta? What happens if an alpha male lands in a relationship with an alpha female and then they have alpha kids? What happens to alpha people in the oppressive societies? If you are unhappy and can’t figure out what is wrong? In relationships with your loved ones including kids life can be chaotic if everyone tries to dominate each other. Its cute if your kid dominates you and you let it happen or a girlfriend calls the shots and you put up a front as a beta just because the relationship is new, can you keep up with that front for the rest of your life or you blow up when the dominating nature is pushed to the limits and you try to re-establish your dominance without any success. Personally I believe most western societies have been full of the alpha gene pool because most alpha people leave their countries for a better life and end up in more liberated societies, thus there is a big problem in the area of acceptable adjustments. ( Read acceptable adjustments).

Nature is the cause and it provides solutions as well but we have to look in that direction to find solutions. If our nature comes to haunt us and our family life, we have to, not only at the individual level but as a society has to understand our nature. Societies have to learn how to accommodate and comply with our nature instead of suppressing it by force.

Education of our ability to be flexible is the answer, you can’t just suppress or oppress the nature because it can’t be done. Human is the creature of two sides, very strong nature and intellect simultaneously, you just can’t pick one over the other you have to zigzag through both in order to live a happy mortal life.

If you are an alpha male you need a beta female to have a good working relationship, same goes for the alpha female but the problem is that naturally alpha female are attracted to the alpha males. In the bush it may workout but in today’s society, where following nature has been discouraged and there is no solution provided. People have to make there own acceptable adjustments to have the successful relationships other wise there is a lot of chaos in our relationship departments.

Imagine being stuck in an oppressive society for your whole life as an alpha male or female, we have been surviving through kingdoms, isms and dictatorships but thanks to the ability to be flexible enough to make acceptable adjustments. We are evolving regardless of the speed.

It is the end of the 2015 and its the first time females voting and running for the election in Saudi Arabia, if you look at it, it is fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. I just got a post with good timing, someone posted on the Facebook that until 1927 Canadian women were not considered as a person, Colombian women voted for the first time in 1957, New Zealand 1893, This was a surprize for me that Sweden partial vote was in 1771, Finland 1906, France 1944 Greece 1952, Switzerland 1971 and another shock is that the Vatican city is the only country in the world where women still can not vote. The evolution is going on but it has been fought tooth and nails by the ultra conservatives regardless of the knowledge that it is an injustice to treat a human being lesser that yourself. I strongly stand against the injustice and am totally for the human individual rights. Our identity is a human being, not a male, female, homosexual, heterosexual, Muslim, Christian, Black, White, Pakistani or Canadian. So Donald trump should look around and see the whole world has changed, these days any and all political parties have to come into the middle to win elections otherwise the individual’s view can take the whole party down.

Personally I think the entity residing in each and everyone of us is not a male or female. Ever wonder why do you think we as males have nipples? The answer is that the physical changes come with the hormones as the fetus grows, the start is the same, the distinctions are all about the abilities, disabilities and the potential. For instance if a female firefighter has to pull her 250lbs partner from the burning fire, she should have the ability to do so. It should be a job qualifying demand, thus there should be the same physical test for males and females. If a male can’t pull or carry the partner he should not be qualified for that particular job as well. The job description should require the same for male and female because these days we have females lifting more weights then males. Anybody who pursue certain lifestyle and achieve that kind of strength, is all because of the pursuit. Each and everyone of us has that built in potential as an entity, male or female has been and is labeled by the societies. If the society is suppressing the potential because of its customs, traditions, religious beliefs or sense of belonging related ego, pride and honor, this suppression has the potential to work against God’s will and yes that will is for us to pursue our potential. Does that mean that I believe all religions whom block the individual from pursuing his/her potential are wrong and are not following God’s will I will say a strong yes.

God created human individual with the potential to evolve, the proof is in the pudding just look around the suppressing societies are far behind then the societies whom encourage the whole population to evolve. If you keep one half of the population to depend on the other half it slows the progress and evolution.

Believing in the stereo typing can limit the individual from reaching his/her potential, so as an individual it is very important to seek the status of a CEO regardless of your gender. Being a CEO you are the one who is responsible for not only standing up for yourself but also to reach your potential so you can reciprocate at higher level what God had meant for you. If you have been suppressed and feel that you can help the humanity more than you are presently able to, then you should seek, pursue and evolve by educating yourself and the people around you. Personal happiness highly depends on the service you provide in your living years, thus it is not only you are doing the service to the others you are benefiting yourself as well. In the end I just have to put this for you to look at your life with an appreciative eye.

Say God gave you this life and I would compare it with a fruit, so we all got a fruit which we should be appreciative of, but if you are not, you have to know the reason why you are not happy or appreciative of  your fruit. Say your fruit has a bruise on it, it is a fact that you can’t be aware of the imperfections unless you compare it with the other’s fruits. What if the others hold their fruits in such a way that their bruised side is hidden, so no one can see it, you can only see their fruit as perfect but you have the knowledge of your own fruit that it is not perfect.  In particular health, finance and love, these three can  change any and all the time during one’s life time. Awareness of your personal bruised fruit is crucial because you can choose to make big problems of your life into small ones by accepting your bruised fruit to cross into the zone of hope and believe all things change in one’s  life time. When it is good you appreciate it, and when it is bad you can have good attitude and hope that no matter what it is,  it will change.

There is nothing wrong with comparisons if you use that competition for the progress of the humanity, but when that comparison starts to harm you as an individual, it is your responsibility to take charge of your life fix the problem. If you are unhappy, always compare both sides, (read Ladder of horizon) with the people better than you for the inspiration and with the people less fortunate for the appreciation. If you still are unhappy because of the bruised fruit try cutting the bruised part off so you can enjoy it, because in the end of the day you are mortal.

If you always seek perfection sooner or later you will face a whole lot of imperfections and bruises as you age. A temporary life is like visiting a vacation spot. It is your duty to put every  effort to enjoy a happy vocation. Our life is just like that, it is a visit, it is not a permanent stay so live accordingly and if you think it is not going to happen to me or I would not let it happen, you need an attitude adjustment if you would not do it, it will happen anyway, no plastic surgery or implant can stop you from aging.

Living this life for afterlife; is it political or spiritual.

Please ignore the English and stay focus on the content.

The question is why every religion, ism or any other way of governing human society puts the demands on the individual to sacrifice for the others or even live in deprivation for the after-life, yet it is the individual who has been given free will to choose the way to live. If everyone does every thing we are asked and to blindly believe, as some of us do, we would believe and follow all the rules of society. Then there should be a lot of surplus over and above the needs of humanity. But the effects of our politics on the individual are so bad, that I am compelled to write against the politics of the belonging groups. I am for the reciprocation from both sides. Since everywhere you turn the individual is suffering, just look around and see, in the name of nation, race and religion how many people have been killed. I bet no one can count and keep track of killings and sufferings of the individual, so I have to and I am standing for the individual.

How and where did the things go wrong? There is a widening gap people are talking about; the one percent holding the wealth and ninety nine percent stuck in poverty. What does it mean that one percent following what the religions, isms and other governing system have been preaching? Even the bigger question is that, if the ninety nine percent got robbed by the politics of these governing systems.

If you feel that you have been talked into living small and you must save until the day you die and yet feel pride for doing so, at the end of the day, living by the book and I mean literally, is still a personal choice for you. Remember you are the CEO of your life. The next question comes to mind is that why only one percent ends up with all the money and power? Is it a flaw of our governing systems or the ninety nine percent is willingly following the politics and giving up their status of being the CEO?

We have been told to believe and obey all the rules. If we disobey, we would be punished, if one does not break the rule of law, but breaks all the religious rules we say God would punish him/her, so the life goes on. Hindus  say that you can come back in next life as an inferior form of life, like rat or whatever, Muslims or Christian say God will punish you and put you in hell, but it would be in life after death.

Another concept is that if something wrong happens to someone, people believe that God had punished him/her for something bad they have done. All these things are up in the air and came from the belief systems – are these things right or wrong – is a matter of opinion. These opinions vary with the different style of up-bringing or societies, some care too much and some don’t give a damn.

So where do you stand? Do you believe God is some big punisher with the toture chambers or may be a big reward giver? Either way it is related with the human philosophy of carrot and stick, thus it is related with the politics and in my personal beliefs there is no politics in spirituality. One can believe whichever way one wants but when it comes to enforcing the belief system by force, it all falls into the zone of politics and it has nothing to do with the spirituality. We have been, are and will be victim of our politics, of sense of belonging to our belonging groups. That is the bottom line of our differences, bad relationships, conflicts and even our wars.

These days we have been forced by the nature to come out of our pigeon holes and half-heartedly join each other to save the planet from the global warming. The terrorism, global warming, uneven wealth distribution, infectious diseases, like Ebola crisis compelled mankind to work together. Our leaders are starting to talk, but would that go on forever or is there actually a trend to use the space station for the benefits of the humanity or we are just going to use our technology to destroy each other.

The challenge of global warming is not only the one thing we should be talking about. We should be talking about how to help the individual to become an educated person, so he/she can make the educated choices during the living years and should not live for and sacrifice the life for after-death. The biggest common problem may not be the global warming, because if we are not educated we can’t even understand what global warming is, we can just blame each other and even God.

If we are talking about a fifty year plan, we should be thinking about our conflicts first, because we may kill each other by our weapons of mass destructions way before that. If we are going to talk about coming together to combat our common problems, first thing we should be talking about is our education systems. Sense of belonging should be exclusively for the humanity, you can’t have the sense of belonging to your groups and when you talk about humanity as a whole, it should be under the umbrella of your belonging group. All empires, religions, nations have been and are in the political business of flourishing their belonging groups.

The whole theme of my blog is education, education, and education so we can understand spirituality over religion, humanity over nations, race or prejudice of all kind. Planet before mother lands, moderation over all kind of extremism. If we are going to talk about the democracy, we have to discard the veto system in our grand and so-called united nation. The foundation or the heart of the democracy is one man/woman, one vote, where and how some individual or nation became above all that to  achieve that status, plain and simple it is against the democracy’s fundamentals. Just like the religions can’t really have the religion without the politics of sense of belonging, we just can’t have even the democracy  without the sense of belonging to our groups, that is why our united nation claims to be democratic but can’t function without the interruptions of the veto powers. We should have legally binding justice system and police force for the humanity. If you think that model is impossible to create just look at the advanced societies. There are all kind of people live together with the human rights in the foundation of the constitutions of these societies.   

We may seek it, but absolute silence is not a melody for the human beings. Extreme awareness is for the chosen few and if everybody starts to live like a monk, it can drug the social fabric. As individuals, we have responsibilities even if we are told that we are going to heaven by following a certain lifestyle.

For moderate folks, life is not and can’t be lived in extreme of any kind. A CEO has to juggle around all the departments of life in order to be a successful CEO,  in his/her life sometimes, religion and heaven should become secondary to the present duties of life. God created human being with the abilities to be a CEO not a sheep, otherwise free will means nothing. If you are told live a sheep’s life there is a sheep dog calling the shots with the political agenda so make sure to make sense before you deny your potential for the sense of belonging to your belonging group.  

As told by religions, and promoted by all societies, living life for the afterlife is the right way to live. Logically, God would not have put people in difficult situations, if everything was decided for the human by the other entity. Free will has its purpose: that is to make you the CEO of your life. Sure a CEO has a choice to find a balance in this life by believing and doing something for the afterlife. But first, the CEO must look at this life.

Since God did not make man a sheep by giving a free will, it is man’s duty to understand his/her potential. I said it before that God put seven oceans together into one drop and put that into a man or woman, and no, we are not here just to worship we are here to work as a work horse of God, so we have to have some self respect so we can reciprocate. It is man’s duty to find a balance. The right music of our life is not in quietness. Our responsibility is to make the right kind of noise for us, as individuals, community and at larger scale humanity.

A good CEO takes up the responsibility. Not only for him or her self, the CEO also corrects the notes of other people around by educating, if you are educated spread the words it is your spiritual duty because if you are following the same old politics of your sense of belonging to your belonging group you are not being a CEO, you have demoted your self as, just an extension of an ideology.

With advances in medical science, we are now able to extend the length and quality of our lives. If we look at it this way, how much influence one can have by living a constructive or a destructive life? Every day, there is something new being discovered and we find ourselves in uncharted territory. If we do not take charge as the CEO, we are left to follow antiquated ideas and beliefs our ancestors laid out for us thousands of years ago. They did not have today’s knowledge, technology and the related problems, they did not even know that earth was round, and day light varies in different part of the earth. It’s a must for the individual to evolve as the time turns forward.

Only a CEO can look beyond the boundaries created by the politics of sense of belonging. A CEO can believe in God yet evolve beyond religious boundaries. We have been created with a higher identity than the religions, nations, race or gender, we are told to follow the certain political path but it is still a choice.

A CEO can evolve beyond the sense of belonging, make sense of today’s issues and put everything in place according to its importance. What gives us our identity, is that intelligent life within us, and that life does not belong to one race, color, gender, nation or a religion. It is a spiritual entity which connects us all beyond a particular group. We are part of this entity which is not connected to a limited group of people as a gang, nation or a religion.

Knowledge dictates the strength of an individual. If each one of us believes that we are worthless without belonging to a group, we undermine and underestimate the God within us.

As CEOs, we must use  our free will to live this life reciprocating because that is the purpose of our lives meant by the God. We must pursue our potential. Our evolving nature calls for moderation, because we are a work in progress, our decisions for extremes should be harnessed with the knowledge of evolution. I want this blog to speak to the individuals spiritually not politically so we all become moderates by seeking right knowledge one person at a time. Any kind of extreme is not a solution for a successful life of an individual or even a society.

Just like we cannot judge a book by its cover, a building or an artwork which is incomplete, a human being should not be judged to be perfect because he/she is in a process of evolution as well. We will make mistakes, yet achieve and do perfect things, but we should know and learn to get better, not worse. A strong ego stems from the sense of belonging and is related to our extreme decisions. If we accept imperfections, that means we still want to grow but when we think that our knowledge is complete, and especially better than others, our ego leads us to extreme beliefs.

There is nothing wrong in being religious as long as one sticks with the spiritual side of it, but when one puts religion above everything, it becomes a problem. For instance, it does not make sense to kill your loved one because he or she does not want to follow your way of living.

Eating food to live, to love and care for the family is as real as it gets. God resides in a different area of life. It does not hurt whether you believe in God or not. But losing a loved one is painful and it is a reality that going without food can harm you physically. A belief system is a thought process which can be changed with new knowledge. Thus, it is not stable. The proof of the instability is loud and clear in that because we have several religions with their sects, what does it mean to you? To me it means even God had to write different books because we all including God is in the process of evolving. Not too long ago we sacrifice poor virgins because we thought God is angry, today we predict the path of the storms. To me this is clear indication that God lives through us because now we can save lives by knowing what is the path of the storms or tsunamis. You can believe whatever you want but I believe it is God helping the mankind evolve, and mankind reciprocating.  

God cannot be blamed, because we have been granted free will so what could be the reason of our fighting and killing each other, we have been doing that as long as the known history. The reasonable reason for different books can be that we might not have been able to handle all the knowledge at once. Stubborn people with emotions and an over powering sense of belonging has the power to make even educated people get stuck in the politics of their group and deny and dismiss the other groups. Or maybe God has a role in bringing humans onto themselves on the day of qayamat (apocalypse) or save them and carry on with the human race with their free will.

The concept of God exists in the human race is based on importance of the human individual cell of God’s body. If we all kill each other, it will not only hurt mankind but also God’s existence. Would God allow that? Since I am an optimistic individual, I think human beings will come to their senses and cross the religious and political lines of sense of belonging to their belonging groups and join together before it’s too late. I hope it is a start of something big, we are starting to join the humanity. Space station, internet, collective action against the infectious diseases like Ebola crisis and now global warming is bringing us together.  

Such a large number of religious books means God created a competitive environment, so that we can come to an understanding that it is the path we are following leads to destruction thus we can use the free will to come together as an entity or I should say as humanity. 

Armed with incomplete knowledge, we have been killing one another for thousands or millions of years to prove who is right. This should teach us that there is more to understand in this life. It is time to change and climb higher on the ladder of potential. Following group politics and falling for it has brought us to a crossroad: of choice. We can either stay in our pigeon holes and keep killing each other or come out of our insecurities and change the course of our journey and its outcome. God will love to see his creation finally ‘get it’.

Human power individually and collectively is beyond human imagination and understanding, until the human being reaches his/ her potential.

Imagine a street bum with five dollars becomes a billionaire. We are in the process of gaining power and understanding. So we cannot claim that our knowledge is complete.

God is writing a new book with human help. How it ends is a mystery. So we cannot see everything as doom and gloom. We have to be optimistic and hopeful. If we understand that there is more to learn, we will become humble about the existing knowledge.

If we are humble, we will believe in tolerance, acceptance and harmony. At that stage, we can go beyond the boundaries of religions, and deep into the territories of spirituality, where God is not a monster, who punishes, burns and kills. There is no carrot and stick in spirituality; there is no politics of right or wrong. There is only the truth, raw and simple, that a human being is the third equation who can make decisions with God-given free will to choose God or the Devil inside to change his/her destiny.

Does that mean we can change the day of qayamat, if we get our act together and stop digging a grave for humanity by making and using weapons of mass destruction then yes.

In my understanding human emotions are not completely understood. We need to work hard to evolve in this area to understand more of Godly man so we can learn to put things in perspective. We love our loved ones, we love people around us and we love God through our religions. The politics of sense of belonging is way out of control, individual feels trapped and helpless without sense of freedom. We need to find the free will which can balance out the sense of belonging with sense of freedom.
