Month: June 2018

Humanity’s journey to reach its potential depends on individual passion, fearless action, and compassion. Fear and security-based politics have brought us nothing but division, death, and destruction. The current state of scientific and technological evolution, coupled with social devolution, jeopardizes our progress. Nuclear weapons and other mass destruction tools in the hands of passionate but spiritually unevolved individuals are not only dangerous but suicidal. It is critically important for us to socially evolve and keep pace with advancements in other areas of life.

Throughout history, individuals have fought against accepted truths to guide humanity toward evolution despite the resistance of racism, nationalism, and religious extremism. Scientific, technological, and medical advancements are living proof of our evolution, undeniable to all. While disputing individuals are common, humanity has always benefited from those who push for evolution. We must encourage and support these trendsetters, for their advancements are often met with resistance by those comfortable in their ways. Standing with these revolutionary individuals is essential to avoid hindering humanity’s evolutionary process. Although this path is fraught with fears, nothing happens if we do not evolve and take charge of our destiny.

Human beings are designed to evolve—it is in our DNA. From brain cells to muscle cells, we constantly adapt to change. If our immune system cannot evolve with the environment, we are at risk, but if we push forward and evolve, we develop resistances that enable us to survive natural changes.

Whether viewed scientifically or through a religious lens, we are all human beings first and foremost. Before judging others, we must use our personal sense of justice, which can override the politics of belonging to a particular group. It is not exclusively about science or religion but about acting as a whole being. Ask yourself if you are merely a puppet controlled by political or religious leaders or the Chief Executive Officer of your life. You can make choices using your God-given sense of justice, common sense, and logic.

Human beings have free will, which comes with personal responsibility for every action taken. Historically, conquering nations treated conquered people and their assets as property. Today, spirituality and human rights are pillars of decency, hard to maintain even in peaceful times. During wars, when love is at its cheapest, humanity loses its spiritual essence, and ordinary people do not shy away from becoming animals, sometimes even endorsing such actions against opposing groups.

Political disputes worldwide reveal prejudice and discrimination. I watched a documentary about a terrorist educating young students, claiming that conforming them at a young age was effective, similar to Roman Catholic nuns conforming native children. This practice is linked to an out-of-control sense of belonging. If religious people figured this out long ago, why can’t we see or understand it today?

For the world to achieve peace, all nations and groups—whether gangs, races, genders, or religions—must educate their young about spirituality and equal human rights instead of divisive politics. Militancy stems from the poisonous education of division and the lethal combination of raging hormones in young people who have not yet learned to manage emotional triggers.

Dealing with our inner animal is a personal issue. If we, as adults, cannot take responsibility for our actions and behaviors, it shows a clear lack of personal control. One must decide whether to be a puppet or a CEO of their life.

The main culprit behind this is the politics of belonging. Whether it is a gang, community, race, gender, nation, science, or religion, all are victims of a viral infection called “A Political Sense of Belonging.” This infection has not been fought at the individual level, especially if communities do not want individuals to stand up and cure themselves. Communities often prefer individuals to remain weak and vulnerable to maintain a strong sense of group belonging. Those who understand and apply their personal sense of justice can override group loyalty to stay true to themselves.

I believe it is time for individuals to assume personal responsibility as CEOs of their lives. God intended for us to be the Chief Executive Officers of our lives, using our sense of justice to excel. We are born with free will, but our chosen groups pressure us to conform and be puppets to their causes. If we take responsibility at an individual level, we can self-regulate and become whole persons. Ideally, social crimes would decrease, wars would cease, and spiritual crimes in the name of group loyalty would be eliminated. Individual responsibility allows us to question the motives behind our group’s politics.

The foundation of all wrongs lies in individual weakness instilled by our groups from an early age. Promoting spirituality-based equal human rights may conflict with certain religious beliefs, but as groups, we often enforce political rules and traditions, causing individuals to lose their sense of justice and fail to speak against group injustices.

Being a CEO as an individual can disrupt old ways of ruling. Groups with political or religious agendas strive to keep individuals weak and conforming. The carrot-and-stick philosophy, used for centuries, does not foster self-regulation or trust. Instead, we must trust in our ability to self-regulate and adapt to today’s evolved life.

A CEO with free will should use knowledge to see through the political rules of their chosen groups, whether customs, traditions, religions, or laws. If something does not make sense, it should be challenged and changed. Our religions and constitutions must evolve with the times. We cannot cling to ancestral ways without considering the need for change. Evolving and adopting new practices can prevent spiritual crimes committed without consequences.

Humanity is always capable of learning new things, indicating that we have not yet reached our full potential. Incomplete knowledge can drive individuals to act politically and blindly for their groups, despite their innate sense of justice. Limited brain power means we are still evolving. Our rights and wrongs can change with new education. We must use soulful passion and fearless actions, striving to evolve with compassion.

Our inner animal influences us heavily through the politics of group loyalty. It is time to evolve to the next level, benefiting humanity with our knowledge. It is not spiritual for a large portion of humanity to suffer while a small percentage lives lavishly. Equal human rights should be adopted in all societies, promoting spirituality over politics.

As individuals, we must critically examine every ability and sense, appreciating the bounties of life, including love and our ability to evolve. Why aren’t we happy and content with our blessings? Our nature drives us to seek more, the foundation of our evolutionary drive. We must control our natural urges and ensure our belief systems make life livable, adding happiness and contentment. If beliefs lead us astray, we must reassess and take personal responsibility for our lives.

When individuals are ready to kill or die, it shows a twisted glitch in politically infected religions and a lack of belief system integrity. Politics of group loyalty rob individuals of their sense of justice. Reassessing beliefs and existence as beings can restore a sense of responsibility that comes with free will.

Always remember not to do to others what you don’t like done to you. This simple spiritual rule relates to equal human rights and personal justice. If you struggle, seek understanding until you find this clear spiritual answer. Each of us is capable of having a personal sense of justice, regardless of whether the chicken or the egg came first. Appreciate life’s uncontrollable factors that keep us alive and strive for spirituality, not politics. Help humanity work together, avoiding death, destruction, and spiritual crimes.

Self-regulation is the foundation of a successful governing system. Fear-based control is impractical for evolving humans. Education in spiritual awareness promotes self-regulation. Despite millions of years of evolution, fear and reward-based systems have not eradicated crime. Strict religious punishments have not created crime-free societies. Even religious leaders commit crimes, showing that harsh control systems do not suit human beings.

Science and religion differ vastly but share the common flaw of prejudice. Prejudice stems from ignorance, ego, pride, and honor, all born from the politics of group loyalty. We cannot achieve peace by following the same old politics. If it hasn’t worked in millions of years, it won’t work now. Change must come from the individual level, compelling everyone to join humanity as a whole. No one should violate anyone’s rights to equal human rights.

Groups with political agendas will stick to their politics, but individuals can rise above and belong to humanity. It is not easy to stand against your group, especially when it leads you in a spiritually wrong but politically right direction. Think of the spiritual rule: “Do not do to others what you don’t like done to you.”

A spiritually knowledgeable and self-regulating individual strengthens the community. Some may differ, adhering to old mass-over-individual politics. However, equal human rights require spiritual justice. Science can repeat results, but the placebo effect, emotional behavior, mental health, physical health, and peaceful coexistence need further understanding. No religion, ideology, or democracy is perfect. We must evolve further.

Equal human rights and one humanity should be the foundation of governing systems. Spiritually evolved systems can prevent us from killing each other over differences. Learning about our animal side is as important as understanding our human side. Old habits can change with soulful, fearless actions to achieve spiritual compassion.

Groups resisting individual freedom of choice must critically assess their belief systems. If influenced by prejudice and discrimination, they are living in the wrong era. Every individual and group must embrace tolerance, acceptance, and compassion.

A Canadian woman is taking the Quebec government to court for violating her human rights. In the past, religious governments could punish disobedience harshly, but equal human rights are now spreading globally. It is too late for religions to hide behind their beliefs. Even the Pope has embraced modern changes. Other religious leaders must condemn prejudice and discrimination in all societies. Spirituality is crucial, especially with our destructive capabilities.

We need a spiritual system that does not discriminate based on color, gender, sexuality, nationality, or religion. Discrimination is against spirituality-related equal human rights. Prejudice-based politics, even rooted in religious differences, is a spiritual crime.

Religious extremism has long been associated with spiritual crimes against innocent individuals, yet it has never truly been about spirituality or God. Instead, it has always been driven by the politics of the groups we choose to follow. This understanding should be enough to reveal the political motivations behind our individual actions. If we can stop fueling the fire of prejudice individually, we can reach the next level of evolution. Otherwise, we may continue to repeat the same patterns we’ve followed for thousands of years, regardless of our scientific and technological advancements. We need to approach our evolutionary journey holistically, not selectively.

 

Love is the most discussed subject in all human societies. From books to movies to the internet, human history has been filled with this king of emotions. At our core, we are surrounded and wrapped in love from all three directions, completing a human triangle. The loss of any kind of love is a profound loss, causing intense pain and a desire to hurt the one who inflicted this emotional pain. Kings have abandoned their kingdoms for love, lovers have killed others or committed suicide over it, and we have even fought wars over love and hate.

Setting history aside, I view love as a spiritual entity that each of us carries within, along with God. I divide love into three portions to make sense of it all: Passionate Love, Instinctive Love, and Universal Love (Read: Love Triangle). Every corner of this triangle is crucial because when an individual is enveloped in love, they are less likely to exhibit animalistic behavior. However, when someone is deprived of love, they may seek to inflict the same pain they are suffering onto others.

Unfortunately, sometimes the recipient of this pain is innocent, leading to a cycle of perpetual love robbery. In our modern societies, robbing love has become fashionable, making suffering quite common and eroding trust. A relationship without trust resembles a business transaction rather than a loving connection, and a life devoid of trust and love is incomplete, regardless of physical and mental nourishment. A life without soul food is an empty life. If everyone were spiritually aware and understood the true meaning of reciprocation, their social lives would improve, and individual suffering would have solutions beyond the business of life and drugs.

God has always been worshiped and prayed to in all human societies throughout history, just as today. People pray to God for more than they have or what they personally contribute to life. From security and control to health and happiness, and success, everything is sought for reciprocation. Interestingly, it is people who fulfill the prayers of others by metaphorically giving from God, yet through human individuals. If people are doing all this giving, where and how does God fit into our picture of humanity?

Since we comprehend our mortality, we feel vulnerable and fearful. Naturally, we want to secure ourselves and our loved ones from the unknown and even the known. The promise to give if we receive forms the foundation of the spiritual business of God. This reciprocation is the source of human goodness and all spiritual actions.

As human beings, we are taught to think that if we get money or become rich, we will give to the poor to help them and be good in God’s eyes. However, if we believe God hasn’t given us enough, we think we can’t give it away, making us receivers, not givers, and thus our reciprocation suffers. When I say to give and help, I don’t mean giving to churches, mosques, or organized religions. I mean helping the real sufferers of poverty.

This issue between God and humans doesn’t start or end with material things. The business of reciprocation begins with one’s life during their living years, and how it finishes is unknown. You can talk about heaven and hell or whatever you were taught growing up, but do we really know if heaven and hell exist? We can’t personally go and return to prove it; all we have is the past knowledge transferred through religious leaders and holy books. There are no scientifically proven proofs, no videos, or hard evidence, yet I still believe in God because I believe our belief systems begin where our comprehension fails. We still have much to learn about various life-related issues, from healing to worshiping and everything in between. We don’t even agree as families, let alone growing up with different religious beliefs.

Religious upbringing can teach one to be a good person, but it also teaches prejudice and discrimination. It can teach us to question spiritual ideas as political beings rather than spiritual ones. When discrimination and prejudice form the foundation of our initial knowledge, not everyone can overcome this and question the politics of the groups they choose to follow.

Understanding and assuming the responsibilities of a Chief Executive Officer is not everyone’s desire, but personally, I feel it is everyone’s duty to judge all installed knowledge and override it if needed. Many of us don’t question our installed knowledge due to the powerful politics of our sense of belonging. We just follow what we are taught and have been taught for thousands of years. Our religious institutions have ruled us using the powerful politics of the sense of belonging. A believer must accept that what we are taught is the only way to believe. We can only unite with our belonging group if we adhere to its rules and laws.

I believe every human can individually obtain knowledge of religions and constitutions. With this knowledge, they should expect their belonging groups to accept changes and evolve according to the demands of evolving times.

We have several religions, their sects, and hundreds of constitutions, along with the traditions and customs of different societies. Yet, only one set of spiritual rules is needed, based on EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS. Our problem is that we have over two hundred countries with different sets of rules, traditions, and customs, driven by the strong and uncontrolled politics of the sense of belonging. Humanity needs one set of rules or a justice system for all people, where no one is above the law, and no one can hide behind the politics of their sense of belonging, just like blindfolded Lady Justice.

If you commit a crime against humanity or equal human rights, you should be punished regardless of the power of your belonging group. Every constitution, religious tradition, custom, or rule should be penalized if they violate the spiritual rules of crimes against humanity. This can only be achieved if we come out of the politics of our sense of belonging and unite as one humanity.

Returning to reciprocation, a teacher might say, “I’ve put in my thirty years of work, now I’m going to retire.” This retirement is a state of mind, reminding me that we are taught to live life as a business of give and take, an actual reciprocation. The problem is that business is all about the profit one will receive, while spiritual reciprocation is all about giving.

Just picture it: you come into life without your will, you can’t live without the help of oxygen, your parents, and society. You have absolutely no control over the oxygen you need, so you can’t just will it. The simple truth is that life and death are beyond the will of all human individuals. If we can’t will the oxygen, and have no control over outer and inner space, we are dependent from birth, making us already receivers.

As long as you are able-bodied and have some kind of job, you are reciprocating because all human jobs are about helping each other. Since we are already receivers, we should also be givers. Helping others is helping God.

If you live a material life, you will automatically view life as a business, wanting to spend the least but gain the most in return. If you don’t want to pay taxes, it’s for personal material gain, but it goes against the idea of reciprocation. As mortals, life without reciprocation may not be fulfilling because you are only feeding your body and brain physically, depriving the real YOU, meaning you lack balance. As you enter advanced age, you may feel your life is not as fulfilling as you’d like. You become vulnerable to the thought of losing happiness and contentment. Spiritually speaking, it’s like robbing yourself of the most important aspects of mortal life. Remember, it’s your personal responsibility to understand the balance of your personal and mortal life. Without material bias, giving and receiving make you feel good. It’s not all the material things you own that make you happy; if you need evidence, just ask the parents of a newborn. Human life is more complex than just physical existence.

Imagine raising a child. Things get done automatically for the baby; even in nature, all creatures raise their offspring similarly. Logically speaking, if life were all about the business of material things, no one, not even creatures, would have offspring. So how do we explain this business of love that has been, is, and always will be so powerful that we happily play the role of puppets, dancing passionately to the whims of our inner chemicals? Today’s women want a perfect figure, yet they desire children so much that they would sacrifice everything to be blessed with the love of a child. The power of nature is beyond our intellect. Actual hunger and the hunger for love can make you break all societal rules of ethics and morality. Sex can drive you crazy, and the fear of death can rob you of all kinds of health and happiness. Ever wonder why? As mortals, we need to gain special knowledge that makes sense both materially and spiritually. Is it easy to acquire? Not if you are brainwashed by the insecurities installed into you from the beginning of your life. Remember, you are responsible for your personal life project. You must leave every single material thing behind and go just as you were born: naked and with empty hands, metaphorically speaking.

Now the question is: how are you doing in your personal life? Are you living just intellectually or following your natural life as well? Or are you zigzagging through both? If you are exclusively following your nature, you need to make some intellectual decisions. If you are living solely with intellect, you need to add some nature and accept its power. Otherwise, you risk choosing extremes and robbing yourself of the real treasures of life. You can’t and shouldn’t go without them, especially if you are mortal. YES, that is your deep happiness and contentment.

As a mortal being, you can enjoy giving because it rewards you with deeper happiness. If you only receive and don’t give, you are caught in physical living, lacking spiritually. This is not a good business strategy for mortals. If you are always securing yourself, remember that there is no security for mortals; it’s all about the satisfaction and contentment you receive.

If you are lacking love and spiritual fulfillment, regardless of your material success, it is crucial to reflect on your actions and relationships. If you have been using and stepping on others, including God, you might be fulfilling only the material side of your life. Even if you justify your actions as giving, if they are purely transactional, your life cannot be spiritually fulfilling.

Love is not about material gains; it’s about doing your part to achieve peace of mind and nurturing your spiritual side. Unfortunately, we often end up robbing love due to personal insecurities.

You may be taught to seek material gains, but remember, true happiness cannot be bought because it is tied to spiritual reciprocation. If you genuinely reciprocate in all areas of your life, including your love life, you will find your relationships more fulfilling.

If you seek love and security but are focused on material things, you may be in love with business, not in a spiritually driven reciprocation mode. Whether it’s food, sex, or love, it’s not about receiving; it’s about giving. The same applies to God—life’s senses relate to what you have already received, so being unhappy with what you have may indicate a lack of spiritual awareness.

You might argue that this is all about security. However, considering mortality can help you realize that there is no security for mortals. If you sacrifice today for the future, that future will always remain in the future, and your life will pass you by.

Living honestly for yourself is essential. You need to balance your sense of belonging and freedom, as well as your nature and intellect.

If someone claims to know everything about life, including me, don’t follow blindly. Only accept what makes sense for your mortal time. Useful knowledge is wisdom, and wisdom dictates not forcing personal beliefs on others because everyone’s reality is different.

We are all evolving entities; thus, our knowledge and wisdom are subject to change. From caves to slavery to modern times, human evolution includes many stages, and it should not be used for political blame-games about past behaviors.

If you divide love into three parts—passionate love, instinctive love, and universal love—you will find a core triangle in the middle. This core triangle represents two opposing forces: the animal side and the spiritual side. Good and bad depend on the era and society you live in. It’s about balancing these opposing sides.

Can you control your demonic or bad side? You should be able to, as the responsibility lies with you. Remember, you are blessed with free will. To navigate this temporary journey, you must become the Chief Executive Officer of your life.

Being happy yet ready to leave at any moment, sometimes without notice, is challenging. It takes wisdom to live in uncertainty and be happy simultaneously. The secret is not choosing sides but staying ahead of your personal bad side. Mortal life is not about being good according to society’s standards or sacrificing all life’s pleasures. God has given us free will to make choices. As individuals with free will, we are meant to be the CEOs of our lives. Our sense of good and bad may change with evolution, but mortality is constant. The best way to live a mortal life is to enjoy it while staying spiritually ahead of your inner bad side.

Individually and collectively, we have a natural need to evolve. If you are told otherwise or forced to work against this urge, it’s the wrong path. Even if religions try to hold you back, you have the choice to resist.

Working against your nature and living solely in your intellectual world is extreme. In the end, being an extremist leads to personal loss, so choose wisely as a mortal. Regardless of religious teachings that instill fear, you must explore your personal potential. This is tied to human nature and should not be ignored.

Imagine in today’s world, throwing virgins over cliffs because someone claimed God demanded a sacrifice. In an era of equal human rights, we would reject such a notion. Similarly, the brutal custom of Sati in Hinduism was abolished because it violated evolving human rights. Despite resistance from religious extremists, modern advancements show the importance of standing against unjust traditions.

Politics has its limits of hypocrisy. Religious extremists often use modern medicine while condemning the atheist scientists who invented it. Killing another human is like cutting off one of God’s working hands. Every human being is a part of God and humanity’s helping hand. Murder in the name of God is always a political act, not a spiritual one.

When someone takes action based on personal emotions, it may seem right, but it’s not for the victim. Crimes are a result of personal free will, and individuals are responsible for their actions. Killing in the name of God is a political act driven by group politics, not spirituality.

In economics, self-correction is a natural process. Natural disasters, wars, and global warming are part of human life. I believe in self-correction and not committing spiritual crimes. If my actions stray from my spiritual values, I am responsible because of my free will, even if it benefits my group.

I reject the politics of my sense of belonging to justify my actions. I speak to individuals because we each have a personal sense of justice. Justice is spiritual.

If something benefits my group but causes personal spiritual loss, I must uphold my sense of justice. It is abhorrent when religious politics rob innocent individuals of love in God’s name. This violates spiritual values and human rights, promoting discrimination and prejudice.

Free will, oxygen, and the flawless functioning of inner and outer spaces are gifts that come with the responsibility of reciprocating to God and humanity.

In today’s world, we have a justice system, yet judges are appointed by political parties, which compromises justice. Spirituality and justice should be separate from politics and religion. Justice must be impartial, transcending nations, races, genders, colors, constitutions, and religions. It is a spiritual matter.

Justice can be corrupted by group politics and religions. Ideally, justice and spirituality are based on equal human rights. Regardless of group politics, justice must stand independently. We must own our actions individually.

No one should influence justice, just as spirituality and God should not be used for political purposes. Killing in the name of politics, while hiding behind God, is wrong.

Spirituality and justice are about humanity’s hard facts. Religions and political systems can harm others, including their followers. An individual is a human being, regardless of origin. Killing an innocent person in the name of group politics is a spiritual crime.

We no longer throw virgins over cliffs; we are evolved enough to understand individual responsibility. Being the CEO of your life means not robbing others of love. If we continue to hurt others, we cannot evolve to the next spiritual level. We must treat others as we wish to be treated.
