Month: January 2018

Human being’s nature is to evolve, so naturally it would never be enough for the human individual regardless of what he/she has.
If money buys things, then he/she will run after the money regardless of what he/she has to do for it. Interestingly it never matters for the individual, what  is accumulated in a mortal life but it always does matter what  one has consumed during a temporary visit.
I wrote a blog a while back titled five bucks, (Read Five bucks) and mention that the real value of the individual, being put down by the politics of the belonging groups. So the individual him/herself believe that he/she is personally insignificant that makes it easier for the group to have control over the population.

If personally you have bought into that politics, you have lost your individual powers and value to your belonging groups. It would be frightening for you to even think that you have no money, so the insecurities can compel you to not only commit crimes against your fellow human beings but drive you to worshiping to God as well. Completely opposite yet, the driving force behind the opposing actions are individual insecurities. Social crimes like robberies to prostitution to murder and everything in between are committed by the individual  out of personal insecurities. Some bigger guns such as nuclear to biological weapons of mass destruction of all kind are related with our collective insecurities.

On national days most nations proudly display their weapons to impress each other or simply use this display as political scare tactics.

Our social and even political religious knowledge or education is based on the individual insignificance and strength is in numbers. Our politics is against the individual strength ,yet all political groups want is more of the individual’s fivers, contradicting but political. This kind of political education and even the accumulation of the weapons of mass destruction is related with collective insecurities. If you carry on this way, you are following traditional methods to secure yourself. Securing yourself is related with survival, important ,but its related with our animal and non spiritual side.

Spiritually, if you look at most of the religious wars they are related with insecurity or with the politics of dog eat dog. Traditionally they are in favor of having more wives and children regardless of the resources. These traditions are again related with the politically driven contribution to the groups with higher number thus related with the insecurities.

The question comes to mind, why even our religions have insecurities? After all they claim that God is with them so why do they have strict and harsh punishments for even petty social crimes? What do the strict punishment accomplish? Control.

Sure we need social control but if we say we believe in God’s will, what is the real message coming from social control? It says that we, as human beings, have all the control so we are the one who are responsible of our actions. If that is the case then there are no accidents , everything is human individual’s doing. Does this mean they don’t really believe, “there is God”. If you really and I mean really believe in God, it should take care of the human insecurities, shouldn’t it? If our belonging groups are sending this message to the individual, what does it do to the individual’s belief system?. This is quite the contradiction. What about the term God’s will?  If everybody is totally responsible for their actions , even accidents and natural disasters, then where does God’s will fit in?  The purpose of having a belief system is to help the individual with insecurities so he/she can live a comfortable mortal life. It is almost like insurance companies advertising that there are no accidents. Strict punishments are related with the total control. What does this mean? Personally I believe, total control is related with having no belief system at all.

Total belief in God is not common in most human societies regardless of the religions. I feel control related harsh punishments are literally preaching that there is no God. Yet harsh punishments, even death penalty are closely related with the religious societies. If you still believe in, “You do the crime you pay the fine”, it has its merits, but today’s evolving times have been changing everything. Past crimes are not crimes any more and harsh punishments are looking more like crimes lately because we are learning to lean towards human individual rights. Strength in numbers is still popular but I believe that we are learning to not to do to anyone what we don’t like done to ourselves personally. Humanity may be losing politics of religions but spirituality lives on in all human societies.

If you get a job, you get paid, whatever you do its a reciprocation for your cheque. This hand washing is a game we all play but we don’t even think about the thanks giving or reciprocation for us being alive, which I believe is absolutely not in our control because of our mortality.

I believe in reciprocation and evolution, so not only we need to change with time, we need to use compassion which is most often preached but not followed by the religions.
I believe that if something sticks around for a long time in human societies, it has to have some merits, so the religions do have merits but they are in the spiritual parts of religions.

Spirituality have been traded in for the politics of the sense of belonging  individually and collectively by human beings. In real words God has been traded in for the security, the individual has given all the powers to belonging groups, yet groups use God’s name to make the individual feel inferior so he/she can be controlled. Who flipped my triangle is based on human individual being the third equation not inferior or superior. This makes individual important so the people whom are in governing business would not like to give that importance to the human individual.

Since we all are suckers for the politics of our belonging groups, we will always feel the insecurity and as long as we feel the need of security we will have our groups. Where there is a group there is politics of sense of belonging and where there is politics of sense of belonging regardless of the size of the group we as humanity would be infected with the politics of bigotry, prejudice, racism, related differences. Sure religions have value, just look around they have been around for thousands of years. Human would always have insecurities because of mortality and by nature would always want more than what they have. That is why God has been, is and will be consistent regardless of our education and evolution, unless all of a sudden we all become secure in our skin.

Insecurities are consistent, whether you believe in God or not, the proof is within the guns and weapons of mass destruction on one hand and more worshiping than personal efforts on the other.

A mortal human individual will always live with some kind of personal insecurities, unless we all have a spiritual belief system which helps us to surpasses the boundaries of the political religions or nationalism. A reasonable plan would allow the individual to live a mortal life regardless of the years and in reality a God consisting belief system can be spiritually healthy. Letting go of control, is not easy when even the religions tell you to believe in God and take total control or else we will punish and even kill you for your actions.

You personally and individually can bring your mortal life above all the politically controlling religious traditions, customs  and rules and connect directly to God with personal reciprocation. Choose to put com back into your passion which had been separated by the politics of sense of belonging, yes even in our religions. Do all the good things preached by the spiritual side of the religions. That alone has the potential to bring peace and unity to humanity we have been longing for thousands of years. If you can separate politics of sense of belonging from your belief system, regardless of your belonging religion you will be able to learn to  live comfortably with inner peace in your mortal skin.
Your life is your personal project, God made you a chief executive officer of your life by blessing you with the free will related decision powers. You are in charge of every single department of your mortal life. If you deeply believe in this, you will set yourself free and self regulate. You don’t need a carrot and stick philosophy to be controlled like cats and dogs or other animals. You don’t have to fear from hell nor you would have to worship in the greed of heaven or more security and material stuff in the living life. If you understand reciprocation, you are doing your job, so you can’t be punished.

If you are told you have to follow strict rules and be a puppet, it has nothing to do with spirituality. Its all politics without a doubt because your belonging groups needs to control the belonging individuals for political purposes.

From God its a pure reciprocation related spirituality and nothing else. God, without the human beings, is a ghost town himself. He not good for anybody or even for self  because no one is there to take care of it or give value to it.

If you are working, just look at your job. If it is helping the other human beings you are reciprocating with God.

From cleaner to astronaut and everything in between regardless of the opinions of the religious people, it is all reciprocation to God. An evolved and strong human individual is better in reciprocation to God than a cave dweller.

Our past and present politics wants us to grow collectively but not individually so the oppressive governing systems and religions have been around for a long time.

These days things are changing rapidly, especially with the internet and instant news. Humanity is at the crossroad and it is forced to work together. Extremists and conservatives are fighting for their survival. Protectionism is common but majority of the humanity has become tolerant and accepts the equal human rights for all. We are able to live together regardless of our differences in the evolved societies.

Religious extremism is not related to spirituality, it’s politically driven. The Spiritual side of religions and most human societies call for compassion, forgiveness, love and tolerance. Political driven religious groups rob the religion and nations of spirituality and leads them to commit spiritual crimes yet in the name of God.

In Islam its been said that killing even one innocent is equal to killing the whole humanity. How many innocent lives have been taken by our extreme related religious wars? How many humanities have been killed in the name of politics? This is a harsh price to pay for any individual for membership to our belonging groups? Every killer should ask this question before joining and going to extreme in the name of  group I choose to follow. One must take charge and own your God given Free Will.

Personally I believe that the meaning of the human individual’s life is reciprocation. Whether its with God, your partner, family or community. A clap would not be able to create sound if one was to attempt to clap with one hand, and yes, even God without the human being, would be similar to a ghost town. Regardless of any abilities one might possess there would be no benefit to anyone thus they would not have any value.

Life related troubles show up when we stray and let our untamed animal related domination traits take over our spiritual side. In the Animal Kingdom this domination game is played constantly but if the human beings don’t watch out for it, it can play them as well.

Dominating others for personal comfort and gains has been and still results in our wars. Our politics of personal and collective life overpowers our personal sense of justice and we  could all end up paying the price with not only individual sufferings but with our wars constant and perpetual revenge killings.

If everyone can understand our animal side where we urge to dominate others . As we become aware of the personal sense of injustice, especially when it comes to  collectively attacking the other groups regardless of justifications, we may begin to be aware of where these actions may lead. Things can get a lot less complicated if we choose to live a mortal individual life as it has the potential to create peace collectively.

A Personal sense of justice is not hard to get if you follow two rules of spirituality. First don’t do to anyone what you don’t like being done to you. Second: Walk a mile in another persons shoes to understand how they are similar to the shoes you walk in.

When politics takes over a spiritual system like religions, we come up with all kind of excuses to dominate the conquered ones. From looting to degrading to committing spiritual crimes in the name of religions, yet religions are trying to teach us spirituality. If you want the proof just look around the past history and present wars. It has been and still is consistent but I hope it does not carry on into our future. If we all belong to our chosen groups our politics would keep us doing what we have been doing. If we at a personal level emerge as a responsible of individual actions meaning evolve and become one humanity then and only then we can get rid of our past animal like behaviors. The difference between the other animals and human beings always boils down to inhibitions, if you let your animal side take over or let your inhibitions down because of the substances or emotions you end up letting the animal dominate your actions  regardless of your level of education, which would not allow you to spiritually evolve to become  a compassionate human individual.

I believe the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups have done enough damage to our religious spirituality. It is time to strain out the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups and learn to appreciate the real essence of the religions and yes that is the spirituality which directly connects the individual to God and humanity as a whole. Regardless of the religion ,if you bring the spirituality to the fore front, humanity can come together as a whole. Otherwise the politics of our sense of belonging would always keep us into our pigeon holes.
If we individually can learn to treat each other as a working hand of God, we can learn to join each other regardless of the differences. If the religions take out their politics of sense of belonging to a one groups of human beings the doors of spirituality would open for them otherwise they would lose their credibility, that is what happening these days. Most of the nations and religions preach that they are better than others, this kind of education is given to their belonging individual this leads to false self-esteem related prejudice and ignorance thus people regardless of the level of education, start to stand against the human rights and commit  injustice in the name of their belonging group willingly.

Humanity, equal human individual rights and equal justice to all is far more important than any religious rule, tradition or ritual because of spirituality. If you can cross these lines of rules, traditions, customs and rituals of religions and if you can respect the human individual as God’s working hand. You will find spirituality. Otherwise politics would make you do the same what you have been doing for thousands of years. If people refuse to change, look to what is happening these days with the weapons of mass destructions. Religious passion can be deadly for the humanity thus God’s existence. To be spiritual instead of following your religion politically is the way we must be willing to do.

There is no room for injustice in spirituality. A group can’t violate even one individual’s human rights. That is why religion’s spiritual side have been compromised. In order to rule a mass of individuals, a successful political system is required. If you want to rule and run government, you can’t really have a fool proof system so the spirituality should be in the foundation of all justice systems. Religions or any other sense of belonging to a group based system would not work as a governing system. The best way to deal with this problem is to keep the religions spiritual and be free of political governing. When an individual can take the state to court and win is a good justice system because what is the reason behind, us having a justice system? This kind of Justice System is there to help the weak and if the weakest wins against the strongest you can’t ask for more spirituality related justice.

 
If you are in a relationship with the politics of domination in mind in today’s social systems. You are heading for the problems because we don’t live in the caves anymore where security system was different. Today we have given that power to the big brother. Individual security still matters but the security system is different. Governments or religious ruled big brother system has been around for a long time but has always been questionable.  Is it working for the individual? There has always been a politics which preferred the mass over the individual, so even if it was injustice, the individual would lose. Since the individual is the essence of the humanity he/she should be respected and given justice. No one should be above the law not even the governing powers or religions.

Being mortal makes it a lot more important for us to be responsible for our happiness. Reliance on Big Brother has not brought us the security related justice, happiness and contentment we have been longing. By having more guns, wars and related problems like death, depression and anxiety is a lot more common than in the past. When expectations develop and are not fulfilled, personal weaknesses become greater than they are. Lack of a belief system and personal weakness is directly related to the understanding of  personal value. As a human individual we are directly working with, not for God nor for our belonging groups yet as a reciprocating authority. Which brings us all individually at the equal footing as a sub contractor not a servant, so know your place.  

If you pull your load honestly, whether its as a partner, family member, community member or simply reciprocating to God you will have less stress but a lot more self respect and self-esteem as well. Being comfortable in your skin is closely related with your personal input and sense of justice.

If you get free oxygen and are alive with a good health, your thanks giving should not only be once a year, your ability to live is not in your control nor its in your family’s, community, nation or religion’s control. It is directly connected to the source or you can say God. Living on the face of the earth in an external chaotic space and then with in the internal totally chaotic yet organized space is as complex as it can get. Sure you have a say but after all the complexities have been in alignment for you personally. If you still think you are functioning at your own will then just look around and see how vulnerable a mortal being is.

When you are taught or you think, it is all your doing, whatever is happening in your life, you are not fully comprehending what you may be  missing in your own personal sense of justice. To comprehend this requires you to educate yourself so you can avoid situations that may cause you some related anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. It takes away the importance of the most important thing, the individual happiness in a mortal life. This makes most of us puppets and slaves of our belonging groups because we are made to feel weak, fragile and insignificant.

We are mortal and that is a reality so this temporary life should be lived fearlessly collecting every happy moment along the way. If any thing you have to sacrifice your happiness over, is coming from your belonging groups, so should be looked at with your personal sense of justice.

By no means am I preaching selfishness. I am simply stating the fact of mortality which needs spirituality more than our political religions. No one should take personal responsibilities off of their shoulders and hide behind the politics of the group that they have chosen to belong to and follow their teachings. If the belonging individual does not ask questions, the belonging groups become too strong to be questioned. The story of the individual weakness related unfulfilled life begins if you don’t take charge of your life. Do you really have a say? If you ask this question to yourself in the dead of the night, the answer would come and point you to your God given free will.
There are two things in common in all human beings regardless of the differences. They are Oxygen and free will. Ask yourself, do you appreciate them? If you don’t, do you believe that you are a human being God had meant for you to be. Since you are not programmed to be a weak puppet or slave of your belonging groups and not even to God, how can you let it happen? 

 

If you are a human being born in this era, you are born with a lot more responsibilities than ever were required it the past. You don’t have the luxury to hide behind the politics of  the sense of belonging to your groups. You are the chief executive officer of your life with a cell phone in your hands which connects you directly to the humanity. You can’t claim that you are ignorant of everything whatever that is going on in the world. This knowledge makes you a possess a great deal of knowledge and you are much more responsible than our ancestors were.

You need to know that the equal human rights and the status of being a chief executive of your life go hand in hand. If you don’t want anyone telling you how to think, you have to give others the same rights. This awareness can put you both in the situation where you are seeking equal human rights but not giving to the others who do not thinks as you do. Always remember rule number one of spirituality,” Don’t do to anyone, what you don’t like done to yourself”. If we all honestly follow this rule as individuals, there would be a lot of inner peace individually which can actually help to achieve illusive world peace as well.

Not only it is a matter of responsibilities of the individual, it’s our collective responsibility as well. Understanding spirituality vs the politics of sense of belonging to our respected groups is a personal responsibility of the individual.

If you don’t know how far you are willing to go in the extreme , don’t go to the extreme. Don’t live the way the community you have agreed to follow unless it conforms to your dream that you have chosen for your life. Your life as an individual, is directly between you and God . The proof is that your group can’t save you from illnesses, can’t provide you oxygen nor  it can keep you alive. So choose God and humanity over the politics of sense of belonging to your groups. If your community could save you from all this, then and only then , you could be willing to kill and die for it. Otherwise, seek something bigger than that, and that is God himself.

Your community groups you have chosen to belong to may have ingrained into your mind that they are followers of God and may have told you that they are directly related in some way, ask them to prove this to you.  If you are doing God’s will, would you do anything whatever the community leaders want done.  I think not. There is not one religion or any governing system out there which is not political. For example, the Buddhists who preach to be the most peaceful monks, are killing Rohinga Muslims. Is this what their God asks them to do?

The World has hundreds of societies, at different levels of awareness in different departments of life. Some may be good with the science and technology and poor in spiritual aspects of sociology. Some may have great understanding of spirituality but poor in science and technology. You don’t need to put each others knowledge down but should compliment each other for being a human being.

It may not look like it but we are all one organism. We are just like the coral reef in the bottom of the ocean. Regardless of the differences in colours, we all live and die the same way. If one gets hurt and feels the same way so is the other one, thus the same organism.

If something is endangering us in any way, its not God related. It’s our politics of sense of belonging to our groups that is hurting us the most. Even though they may claim they can provide some things for us, our groups can’t provide the security from mortality. They are even unable to control the social crimes committed against the individual by the belonging group itself or by its own belonging people. Most of the killings and human rights violations are committed by the belonging groups, not by the bogy man they are trying to scare you with.

In this era we have bigger fish to fry. We need to worry about global warming and related problems. We need to understand the ramifications of we follow our belonging group in the things we are asked to do and how can affect our lives. We must learn how to set our differences aside and work together as humanity or as an organism. God meant that humanity is to constantly evolve to understand the abilities and importance of the human individual. Since we are God’s working hands, our ignorance is not only degrading to human individuals but God as well. If we keep creating boundaries for the political refugees, how are we going to deal with climate or environment issues that are related to refugees. If we need a bigger heart now, we may need a heart of gold in the future. We will need to be spiritual to deal with the problems that humanity is going to face as the climate turn things up side down. Governments, like Trump, would have to learn not only the real science of climate and they will have to learn all about the spirituality as well.

As an individual, do you have inner peace ? If not, it is time to reflect to achieve it. A mortal life without peace lacks wisdom of living a temporary life. A person with inner peace is able to reflect peace outwards and all around themselves. When tis inner peace is shared to the surrounding environment, they can spread it like an infection, in good way, especially today through the internet and then onto all the humanity.

The United Nations and its infrastructure is already there but it has a Veto power to block process. Its veto system is robbing many peoples and country’s of  democratic values. Humanity can’t do justice to everyone nor it can come together under one umbrella as humanity. If a  few groups of people can deny the justice to certain groups humanity  with the power to veto thinks they do not like , then as a whole world, we shall always be divided.

If we as individuals can learn to live with each other on one planet as home, we can learn to deal with the real issues such as human survival instead of extinction with  nuclear weapons. Our political systems are in the business of sanctions. Through the United Nations, we enforce sanctions against certain nations. All it does is to make the human individual suffer. We seem to think it is to make the group bow down to pressure but it doesn’t work other than to spread sufferings of the human individual. This often strengthens the resolve of the individuals to stick with the politics of the group they follow. If we spread the idea that free education for the worlds populations will enhance individuals and with this new found knowledgeable move forward in a positive manner to make life better for all mankind.  Education for all is the key if the individual learn to self regulate.

If the individual suffering is related to the politics of the groups we belong to, the individual should be aware of it. If the individual is not educated, it should be the responsibility of the United Nations to spread the education for free. This free  knowledge can help people to know the need to belong to humanity as a whole.  TheUnited Nations has failed against the politics of sense of belonging because of the biased policies of the veto system. If the individual is educated with equal human rights and sense of justice it can bring the changes from the bottom up instead of the top down.

The democracy preaching nations should look deep into their policies and see if they are really preaching democracy? Look at the United Nations, is it effective democracy? The United States of America went to Iraq disregarding the will of the United Nations who had voted not to send troops to Iraq. The United Nations can be an impotent organization when it comes to real democratic values but using the Veto system is not democratic. We need to have the educated human beings to run the show, but working against the individual’s human rights and causes. Instead of preventing wars, the United Nations is political regardless of education so the knowledge of the politics of sense of belonging should be critically looked at. That is why regardless of the level of education people are still identifying themselves as Muslims, Christian, Jews, Black, White, Brown, Yellow, Red, Indian, Pakistani, American, Canadian, Gay, Straight, or any other gender based identity. A human being is what we are before all the above categories of peoples.   

We need education which brings the individual to think above and beyond the politics of sense of belonging to a group of human beings. It is already happening just look into the melting pot societies. For example, people can learn to live together under the umbrella of one government regardless of the colour, gender, nation or religion. So why is this happening ? They understand that humanity as one organism.

If our good and bad are related to God and the Devil it is actually related to the human being using politics to hide his/her good and bad actions behind God and the Devil. This makes human individual insignificant. This insignificance is not created by God. It is related with the politics of the sense of belonging to our groups, and yes it is not just running  into our communities it goes all the way up to the nationalism, and our religions as well. We need to know the real reason why, each and everyone of us is capable of using free will, regardless of the level of our education. The importance of the individual having a free will is a wisdom of God himself. Before making choices we all need to know our personal responsibilities we have acquired when we got blessed with free will.

All the best of spirituality needs physicality to be effective, so the importance of the human individual can’t be underestimated. It is the end of the year 2017 so lets learn to be important from now on and let us own our actions as an individual, instead of hiding behind God and the Devil. We must do this not only individually but as groups so we can become a peaceful human individual and humanity as well.
