A circle and a triangle of a CEO.

March 31, 2020 by dancingbottle

Scientifically, we are aware of bacteria and viruses. We know gases like hydrogen, oxygen, helium, nitrogen, and we understand carbon as the primary ingredient of every living creature. We now possess more knowledge than any other time in human history, all due to the evolving nature of human beings. I am neither a scientist nor a religious scholar, but I am who I am. My nature compels me to make sense of things for myself during my brief allotted time as a free entity. Viewing myself as the CEO of my life, with free will ingrained in my DNA, I’ve developed strategies to comfortably navigate my mortal existence. If you find discomfort in your life regardless of your current path, read on and see if this blog can benefit you. Let me know if it resonates.

Scientifically and religiously, we may appear far apart on the surface, but upon closer examination, beyond what we do not fully understand, everything is fundamentally the same. From carbon to genetics, and physical existence—birth, breathing, eating, excreting, aging, illness, and death—are identical for everyone. When you transcend political affiliations and the artificial divides they create, you can clearly see our mortal nature and its related challenges. These realities typically reveal themselves to those who seek clarity in both real and spiritual light; otherwise, one can spend a lifetime in ignorance.

Certainly, our faith and belief systems hold significance in our individual lives and collectively in humanity. However, the caveat is that our actions must be influenced by our spiritual side.

Politically, it has been an utter disaster. Blindly believing in God is one thing, but blindly following the political agendas of our religions directly ties us to ignorance. Listening to Mullahs preach about attending mosques and praying dutifully is one matter, but unquestioningly adhering to orders to pray without meaningful physical actions can be questioned. Churches face similar challenges, some even repeatedly fined for disregarding government orders. Personally, I find it baffling that they advocate ignoring personal responsibility. Prioritizing personal survival and the autonomy that brings should take precedence. Difference of opinion is natural, but committing deliberate harm in the name of religious beliefs, to me, is absurd. It signifies a lack of personal accountability for individual actions.

Where does free will fit into these scenarios? In reality, we’ve been blessed with free will for a reason, and I hope today’s individuals understand its significance. Imagine if you heed your Mullah’s advice, return home with COVID-19, and infect your family. If your belief system ranks above your family, you’ve misunderstood universal love. Instinctive or passionate love in mortal life plays a significant role. Many examples exist of people choosing one love over another, like prioritizing a mother over a spouse, or a child over a parent, demonstrating that prioritizing society over loved ones is also misguided. Creating balance is your responsibility; if you exercise free will in other aspects of life, you must choose wisely.

Personally, I would hold myself accountable for my actions before attributing them to God’s will. As CEO of your life, critically examining your choices is essential; otherwise, you’re not fully utilizing the abilities God bestowed upon you, potentially compromising your spiritual values. This not only leads to guilt and associated health issues but also assimilates individuals into prejudicial and discriminatory organizations. Such environments encourage spiritual crimes in the name of past knowledge and traditions. Always remember your responsibilities and the needs of today’s evolved world. Before heeding your religious leader’s advice, ensure you do not commit a spiritual crime, such as harming a loved one or transmitting a deadly disease like COVID-19. Believing in God, religious traditions, customs, rituals, and rules is one thing, but losing your humanity under the influence of political affiliations and the need to belong is akin to becoming a spiritual crime machine.

When leaders like Trump rally you to join a nation or religious group, and crises like COVID-19 or global warming push you toward humanity as a whole, individuals with a strong sense of belonging gravitate toward groups to feed prejudiced and discriminatory politics. However, those with common sense and spiritual strength lean towards equal human rights and the unity of humanity.

Today, it seems science asserts that we know everything—from the Big Bang theory to daily medical interventions, which sometimes cause more harm than healing. From disregarding the body’s natural healing mechanisms to chemical-based agriculture, plastic usage, fossil fuels, and the subsequent shift toward organic and environmental awareness and the repercussions of global warming.

In my opinion, it’s neither right nor wrong, but there’s ample evidence of the confusion it creates. Viewing the political and economic turmoil, it’s evident that confusion persists for humanity on both ends of the spectrum. Spirituality, however, has remained steadfast, irrespective of group affiliations or time. Our history proves that spirituality has been integral to human existence and awareness.

The desire to perform good deeds has, is, and will always remain paramount in an individual’s life, especially when aware of personal mortality. Such clarity can confound those taught to plan for eternity.

In conclusion, I aim to elucidate the complex issue facing modern-day individuals by highlighting the importance of balancing belonging and freedom.

Imagine yourself as the CEO, seated at the top corner of a triangle. On the bottom corners sit “Sense of Freedom” and “Sense of Belonging.” It’s crucial not to exclusively favor one over the other because your optimal position lies in the middle. Choosing extremes will cause your pendulum to swing wildly, disrupting balance and leading to adverse consequences.

To illustrate the importance of this balance, picture yourself walking in a park and accidentally stepping in dog poop that someone neglected to pick up. As you continue walking, people give you disapproving looks due to the unpleasant odor. If you prioritize avoiding offense to others, your sense of belonging remains intact. However, if this concern becomes extreme and causes you anxiety, it has gone too far. Overwhelming adherence to a sense of belonging can lead to drastic actions, such as developing anorexia or becoming a suicide bomber for a group. On the opposite extreme, if you disregard others’ perceptions entirely and intentionally step in dog poop for amusement, you risk serious consequences, possibly even incarceration. The key isn’t choosing extremes but maintaining balance, allowing you to live with inner peace and comfort.

Scientific advancements have expanded our knowledge significantly, yet this knowledge alone doesn’t ensure personal happiness or spiritual contentment. Being smart in one area isn’t sufficient for overall life comfort. Mortal beings require balanced knowledge; while we focus on meeting physical needs, we often neglect our spiritual side, leaving our non-material essence unfulfilled. Awareness of this imbalance becomes critical for experiencing deep happiness and contentment.

If you solely embrace scientific explanations and neglect the non-material aspects of mortal life, you may lead a spiritually deficient existence. Our mortal lives necessitate profound spiritual happiness and contentment, areas where science alone may fall short. Can you scientifically quantify love? Can you deny the human body’s innate healing systems? Where do hope and optimism fit into this framework? How do human beings possess free will while other species operate purely on genetic programming? These questions highlight the need for balance in understanding both the scientific and spiritual dimensions of life.

Science and religion have coexisted for millennia, with our evolution serving as evidence of their enduring relevance. Why do religions continue to play a significant role in human existence? If science undermines your faith and spirituality, the fault lies not with scientists but with your responsibility to see the complete picture. I’m not here to promote any specific religious belief system due to their political nature. However, I strongly believe in maintaining personal spiritual values because inner peace is crucial when understanding our mortal nature.

Embracing science blindly while disregarding mortality and spiritual significance represents a personal loss. Our scientific foundation rests upon ever-evolving knowledge, subject to change. Therefore, maintaining flexibility in belief systems and personal convictions is essential for continuous growth as an individual. This mindset fosters moderation, enabling us to uphold spiritual values like “live and let live” or “treat others as you wish to be treated.”

Humanity’s ability to sacrifice for loved ones, strangers, communities, nations, religions, enemies in need, or future generations is a defining trait. Shouldn’t we scientifically explore this phenomenon as well? A balanced approach involves questioning everything as a CEO would. Each of us has dimensions to explore about ourselves as individuals. To understand God, start by understanding yourself and your mortal nature. To grasp science, begin with self-awareness and mortality. Exploring space or any endeavor requires balance, acknowledging that everything hinges on the breath you take and the functioning of your mortal body, over which you have no control.

Extreme beliefs, whether religious or scientific, often breed problems rather than solutions. As long as you avoid prejudice or discrimination against those with differing beliefs, you can effectively manage extremes. As CEO of your life, maintaining control over extremes allows you to function effectively while preserving spiritual harmony.

If you claim to understand everything about God, science, or numbers, remember that asserting complete knowledge is simply false, especially for an evolving entity like the human individual. The truth is, we are constantly learning new things every day, so no one can legitimately say, “I know everything there is to know.” Our incomplete knowledge has historically driven conflicts, and remarkably, this persists despite our scientifically advanced understanding.

Our sense of belonging heavily influences us politically, creating an “us versus them” dynamic in societies that we struggle to overcome. Beyond advocating for spirituality, I encourage embracing bias-free assessment of each other’s progress for the collective benefit of humanity. While we have the capacity to learn, opportunities arise only when sought; if religions or science discourage exploration in certain dimensions, it’s often to assert their sole validity. Ironically, this exclusivity remains a prevalent approach. Our desire to be right stems from egotistical ideologies tied deeply to our sense of belonging’s politics. While I may possess ego, pride, honor, and personal justice, I believe these are constructive within individual life balance. Knowledge, inherently dual-edged, can potentially harm as much as it can benefit, necessitating a CEO’s understanding of its political implications.

As a citizen of the world, I act and speak as a human being. My religion is spirituality, and my nationality is humanity. I advocate for equal human rights and a reciprocal relationship with God, not a carrot-and-stick philosophy treating humans like mere animals requiring control, conformity, and molding. By nature, we are all free spirits, and spirituality should guide our intellectual journey. We deserve to be treated as human beings capable of self-regulation, not branded as inherently sinful or insignificant, as taught by politically motivated systems of control. Humanity must evolve beyond group affiliations to embrace a global identity.

I believe in the existence of space and our ability to explore it without egotistical boundaries. Our journey should encompass all facets of human knowledge—mortality, emotions like love and compassion, science, technology, and beyond—all while acknowledging what remains to be discovered.

Atheists may deny, and religious individuals may believe, but fundamentally, we strive to be decently evolved human beings. Particularly regarding personal spiritual values, one can believe as they wish but should adhere to the Golden Rule: treat others as you wish to be treated.

In a previous blog, I likened two human cells deep within the body’s tissues conversing about their existence, debating whether the body is real. Their dialogue’s relevance hinges on their level of awareness; if they were to turn hostile and engage in mutual destruction over who’s right, it would signify profound ignorance. As individuals, we must honestly assess our own awareness levels. Should we justify killing in the name of God?

If one’s sense of belonging distorts honesty, decisions leading to violence may result. This phenomenon metaphorically compares to God suffering from autoimmune disease, reflecting humanity’s self-destructive tendencies due to our politics of belonging. Our failure to evolve and understand arises from allegiance to group identities. Imagine cells in the arm declaring they function independently of the body—such sentiments underline the analogy’s intent.

If God mirrors humanity and cells reflect human beings, their harmony is essential for mutual survival. To some, God’s existence may seem independent of humans, akin to a lily blooming in an uninhabited forest. Yet without harmony, chaos ensues—a predicament aware individuals would strive to avoid. Fanatics may prioritize beliefs over responsibility, committing crimes against others. The politics of belonging strip us of our spiritual essence, often with our passive consent. Historical and contemporary disputes reveal spiritual crimes committed in the name of group identity—whether religious or not—yet society often perceives group loyalty as an asset rather than a spiritual deficit. As CEOs of our lives, we must draft mortal life plans instead of perpetually dwelling in contentious divisions.

Now, envision this blue circle as your existing life. Imagine these questions emanating from it, one by one, challenging you as CEO of your life:

1. Would you prioritize survival or your belief system?
2. Can you balance and do justice to all corners of the love triangle (Passionate Love, Instinctive Love, Universal Love)?
3. Do you believe in working hard to sustain your life or minimal effort for significant gains, disliking taxes and aiding others as reciprocation for your blessings?
4. Is morality more important to you than mortality, or vice versa, for comfort in your mortal skin?
5. Do you apply personal justice equally, including to yourself?
6. Does your life reflect groupism (e.g., race, gender, color, nation, religion) or fair play for all global citizens, including yourself?
7. Should spiritual essence or values outweigh religious beliefs, traditions, customs, rituals, and community rules?
8. As science dissolves boundaries and solves former mysteries confined by religious dogma, do you deny these facts or support human exploration beyond these bounds?
9. Do you uphold equal human rights even if your belief system or group opposes them?
10. Do you possess enough freedom to balance the urges of your sense of belonging?

Ask yourself these questions honestly, as your temporary life demands a peaceful living plan. Politically correct answers only lead to self-judgment; I offer tools to guide you as an honest CEO planning a mortal life. Prioritizing belief systems over personal intellect inhibits personal planning. If your plan prioritizes afterlife, it reflects group programming, not personal intent. Such choices erect obstacles to progress, evolution, and civilization, ironically undertaken with pride.

As individuals, we all possess free will, a personal sense of justice, and a responsibility to evolve by our inherent nature. If the politics of your sense of belonging strip you of these qualities in favor of group interests, you are acting against God’s will—or simply not following it. Pursuing our individual and collective potential propels humanity and aligns with God’s intent, so regardless of the teachings imposed by your belonging group’s politics, choosing spiritual awareness remains your responsibility.

Achieving satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, and contentment in all aspects of mortal life—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—is the essence of life’s journey. Balancing these facets is the duty of a CEO of one’s life. If you cannot establish this balance or resist the influence of belonging groups’ politics, how can you attain the status of a true CEO? It’s crucial for individuals to seek and maintain good health across all dimensions of human life amidst politically influenced belief systems.

If your belief system is politically influenced, it may aim to indoctrinate and conform you to the interests of a specific group. Personally, I advocate for equal human rights, extending beyond individual-to-individual interactions to encompass masses, corporations, nations, religions, and individuals alike. In the spiritual realm, justice is blind. Treating organizations such as corporations, groups, nations, and religions more favorably than individuals constitutes spiritual injustice and violates the principle of equal human rights.

Being part of humanity or the body of God imposes significant responsibility on individuals wielding free will. Unlearning what authority figures have taught us is understandably challenging. It falls upon each human individual to understand their personal realities. Free will exists for a reason—it aligns with our mortal nature and ensures we can live comfortably in our mortal skin. While our realities may differ, mortality is an immutable truth we all face. As humans, we must scrutinize accepted truths to discern their authenticity. Human knowledge, given our evolving nature, is inherently unstable. Achieving equal human rights and tolerance requires the adoption of new knowledge, a process not achieved overnight or independently if we persist in relying on age-old information.

Two undeniable truths prevail: no individual is superior to another due to their identities, and our authentic truth from God is evolutionary, not static. The politics of belonging may demand loyalty to a group, but exercising free will ultimately hinges on our personal and individual responsibility to uphold decency, irrespective of birth group affiliations. It’s detrimental to be internally divided, especially when one understands their mortal nature. Embracing these truths and accepting mortality allows individuals to ascend to the CEO status, living as mortal beings, notwithstanding acquired knowledge—whether scientific, religious, or prejudiced beliefs stemming from politics of belonging. Always remember, as CEO, you dictate the decisions, not your conformed or politically influenced self.

Let’s critically examine our sense of belonging. It manifests not only in race, color, gender, nation, or religion but also in our everyday politics and sports. Personally, I’m not keen on politics, yet discussions on belonging inevitably bring politics into focus. Politics permeates our daily lives—from personal relationships and friendships to workplaces—fueling insecurities everywhere. Sports, driven by community pride, generate substantial revenue; locals passionately support their teams regardless of performance. Ever wondered why? It all boils down to loyalty to our sense of belonging.

As the CEO of our lives, we can assess who played better, which political party aligns more with genuine spiritual values. Politics, rooted in power and control, remains highly subjective. I’m puzzled when religious adherents vote counter to their professed spiritual values.

Without discussing genuine love, justice, and spirituality, achieving equal human rights remains elusive. Organized religions inherently involve politics, regardless of claims. Spirituality should underpin any belief system, but whenever people gather, the politics of belonging inevitably influence our actions.

Prophets and sages imparted profound wisdom, yet politics of belonging tainted spirituality. Religious conflicts persist because these paths aren’t purely spiritual. Even Buddhist monks, despite efforts, couldn’t evade politics; across eras, religious differences still lead to bloodshed.

Today’s political parties heavily promote group allegiance. They propagate prejudice and discrimination, akin to historical religious dogma. Consider American politics: while racism is condemned, its remnants endure, ingrained in our daily lives. Equal human rights exist, yet factions in every group strive for dominance. Why does prejudice persist? Because group allegiance supersedes our universal humanity.

Political parties struggle to transcend prejudiced agendas. Each claims opposition incapacity, yet all harbor shortcomings. Conservatives oppose taxes but implemented GST; liberals initially opposed it but continued it in power. Financial failures are bipartisan issues, yet both sides justify their policies.

Our welfare, healthcare, and elderly care systems are untouchable due to public demand. Conservatives traditionally oppose abortion but often avoid discussing it. Why? It’s pure politics—a stark contrast to community values. If a community can’t care for its sick, it’s unwell itself.

Should we delve deeper, we find ourselves in a dog-eat-dog philosophy. Community deaths from neglect are not just poor socialism but spiritual bankruptcy. Political parties must inject spirituality into their agendas. Taxes should be viewed as spiritual contributions, not burdens. Viewing governance as business overlooks its core mission: aiding communities. People flock to Western nations for governance founded on human rights and individual value, defying claims of spiritual bankruptcy.

Religious societies devalue individuals, betraying spiritual essence. Claiming spiritual superiority undermines true spirituality. Islam preaches equality but politically asserts superiority, contradicting true spiritual intent.

Prejudice and discrimination corrode communities, eroding unity and taxpayers’ support. Integrating diverse perspectives is crucial to progress. Mixing religion and politics compromises spiritual purity, leading to deceit and hidden agendas. To maintain spiritual integrity, separate politics from faith.

Why support a political party that mismanages finances? Loyalty to groups influences individual actions, contrary to spiritual principles. Transparent self-reflection is vital. Succumbing to group politics blinds us to our true nature and spiritual potential.

Our personal sense of justice transcends barriers of gender, race, nation, or religion. However, belonging politics stifles its universal application. Overcoming this barrier in our evolved era requires crossing boundaries imposed by group politics.

People often mirror their parents or societal norms, staying loyal to their groups; stepping outside this box is deemed traitorous. However, the rise of equal human rights is integrating into global justice systems, advocating blind justice, irrespective of race, color, gender, or creed.

Observing other creatures reveals intriguing behaviors: squirrels store nuts, while cats and dogs bury food. Unlike these creatures, humans plan for the future despite mortal insecurity. Our life’s boat is destined to sink, emphasizing the importance of enjoying, being fair, and reciprocating while afloat in mortal skin—no ifs, ands, or exceptions.

If a political party dictates your thoughts without regard for spiritual values, you unwittingly further their agenda at the cost of personal happiness. Your responsibility lies in choosing actions, especially in today’s political climate. Using free will responsibly aligns with your personal sense of justice, rooted in treating others as you wish to be treated.

Considering mortality, voting for parties aligned with spiritual values and equal justice becomes paramount. Spirituality and politics clash; embracing a dog-eat-dog philosophy conflicts with spiritual growth. Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, religious groups unite to aid the needy, highlighting the potential for transcending religious divides. Imagine humanity’s progress if such unity persisted, setting aside religious conflicts.

Every individual possesses God-given abilities and a responsibility to think critically during their lifetime. Human progress arises from breaking traditional rules rather than conforming to them. Most trailblazers diverge from taught beliefs; many scientists, while non-religious, contribute significantly. Spiritual fulfillment hinges on inner feelings rather than comparative abilities.

The desire to feel superior often stems from deep-seated inferiority complexes, politically promoted by belonging groups. Claiming superiority based on religion or nationality fosters prejudice and discrimination, distorting spiritual ideals. As CEO of your life, recognize this strategy’s fallacy—belonging to any group, based on race, gender, or creed, doesn’t confer inherent superiority.

Religious leaders may promise divine help through rituals, but failure may lead to spiritual crisis due to misplaced loyalties. Trust deficits arise not from God but from politics of belonging. Pandemics don’t discriminate based on belief; logical reasoning underscores the scientific approach amidst crises.

Self-awareness entails understanding personal politics of belonging and loyalty triggers. Evaluate self-esteem rooted in inferiority complexes versus spiritual fulfillment. Embrace responsibility, reciprocity, free will, and personal justice; treating others as you wish to be treated remains paramount.

Desire for acceptance or admiration often drives behavior, tied to group approval—the politics of belonging. Recognizing these influences—beyond partisan politics—reveals broader societal impacts, from race and gender to community and nationality.

Understanding these influences alongside mortal impermanence offers clarity. Reflect: Is discrimination or prejudice worth perpetuating in your temporary mortal life? Shed learned biases—political, religious, or nationalistic—and confront insecurities driving discrimination.

“If religion teaches that God and Devil reign above, remember: you are the crucial third equation—nothing becomes physical without your hands, back, and shoulders. God represents good and the Devil, bad, once you’ve lent them your aid. Always recall the reasons behind your possession of free will and personal sense of justice.”

Today, scientific advancements link natural disasters to environmental causes, predict weather for life-saving measures, and reveal human impact on river flows and environmental changes. Not long ago, we attributed everything to God’s will; now, understanding causes and effects drives our progress. How deeply you delve into human potential is a personal choice, but denying scientific facts, especially when you can make a difference, contradicts the opportunities granted by God.

Acting under the influence of the politics of belonging—leading to prejudice and discrimination—demands shedding soul-weighing burdens to embrace equality for all humanity.

Carrying prejudice and discrimination exacts a steep toll on mortal souls; discontent and unhappiness can result from losing the status quo. It may even lead to spiritual transgressions, akin to the burdens borne by soldiers with PTSD.

Assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of your life—taking ownership of actions and decisions, refusing to hide behind God or Devil. Hypocrisy among politically astute individuals exists, but acknowledging truths burdens the soul, risking health in various forms.

Educational behaviors can inflict harm, yet God grants free will and personal sense of justice. Individuals choose actions; others may reciprocate with prejudice or discrimination. Where do you stand as a mortal? How much time remains in your life for discontentment and unhappiness? This serious inquiry demands introspection.

Accepting equal human rights is universal, but succumbing to the politics of belonging—be it race, gender, nationalism, or religious fanaticism—breeds racism, sexism, and bigotry. Only as an individual can you assume the role of CEO to discern what nurtures your soul and what poisons it.

Reflect critically on your past: stagnation suggests resistance to change. Life is about responding to evolving circumstances, discovering personality traits, inferiority complexes, and self-esteem issues. Dissatisfied with your responses? Act. Time is finite, and your boat will sink; strive for spiritual contentment.

Acknowledging dissatisfaction is crucial. Address it with action, challenging ingrained beliefs. Mortality demands acceptance; balance mortal living’s real goals, achieving happiness and contentment. Religion often preaches life for the afterlife, but physical actions define spiritual impact now.

God’s work thrives through human actions; physicality drives spiritual efficacy. Alive, we wield hands, backs, and shoulders—a miracle to continue God’s physical presence. Spirits lack physical influence; thus, God’s work benefits the living, not the dead.

My philosophy centers on basic triangles: humans, God, and Devil; passionate, instinctive, and universal love. Fundamental to mortal life, these principles dictate happiness and contentment. Balancing familial and universal love is vital; as CEO, transcend the role of worker bee, genetically and spiritually.

For mortal beings, understanding mortality is essential; we must grasp our reality. Our understanding of belonging groups has been tainted by the politics of belonging, which employs a carrot-and-stick philosophy. For human individuals, this approach is flawed because we are not merely animals; we are spiritual creatures with the ability to self-regulate.

Let’s examine it logically: if we live in fear of hell and in pursuit of heaven, who benefits? Is it the group or the individual? If the group benefits from individual sacrifice, it’s praised as honorable, but is it fair? If it’s from God, it cannot be unfair; thus, the carrot-and-stick philosophy is not aligned with God or spirituality. If you choose to associate unfairness with God, that’s your prerogative, but I believe in a fair God. This philosophy aims to civilize a savage beast, but we are spiritual beings first, not animals. Since we must manifest spirituality into physical actions, like other creatures, should humans be treated solely as physical beings? To me, it’s a balancing act; as we bring spiritual actions into physicality, our physical needs are met. Reciprocation is not a chore but a duty, given our control over our bodies and well-being, despite our lack of control over oxygen.

If God truly controlled us, no one could harm or kill another. Our duty, then, is to understand why we act as we do and why God allows free will and spiritual crimes. Reciprocating with God enhances self-esteem, making us a contributing force, so how can we degrade ourselves when we aid the Almighty?

Living beings that transform spiritual thoughts into physical actions have no need to fear God or hell, nor must they worry about reaching heaven after death. In spirituality, fear and greed have no place; they stem from individual insecurities. Organized religions exploit these insecurities, treating humans as animals, which disrespects both individuals and God, serving political agendas. If you feel manipulated by your belonging group, remember: as CEO, others have a place in your life but no say; you call the shots. Allowing others’ control means hiding behind God and Devil, evading responsibility, revealing spiritual deficiencies.

Many religions preach hope and trust, enriching mortal life, but succumb to politics of belonging, believing God favors them over others, promoting prejudice. Such politics strip spirituality from mortal lives, drawing us toward belonging groups. The death toll of religious and extreme wars underscores spiritual bankruptcy. Unfortunately, politics of belonging govern our religious beliefs, unless individuals become spiritually aware, transcending prejudice and embracing equal human rights.

Our political systems or parties may preach individual strength, responsibility, and skepticism of God. Conversely, religious leaders advocate subservience, weakness, vulnerability, insignificance, and sinfulness. In this conflicting message, what can an individual do?

The simple truth: become CEO of your life. Place everything in its rightful place; refuse to be brainwashed for others’ agendas. Live as a spiritually significant mortal, important to God as any other. Focus on reciprocating to God and self-well-being, eliminating fear and greed.

Consider the contradictions of our governing systems: they claim individual responsibility, leaving individuals hopeless, untrusting, and pessimistic about humanity. Policies designed for self-reliance paradoxically drive people to government aid in times of crisis.

Religions, conversely, teach that God and Devil control everything; belief and blind allegiance are enough. If a leaf moves only by God’s will, how can a person act independently? If everything stems from God, all problems logically come from God. Religious leaders’ counsel to pray, fast, and trust in God for blessings leaves believers questioning faith when efforts go unanswered. Worse, if one doesn’t receive after praying and fasting, leaders may blame the individual’s lack of faith or effort, robbing hope, trust, and spiritual well-being.

In this political tumult, where do you stand as an individual? If you distrust yourself, government, religious leaders, or even God, what is your self-worth? Seek spiritual self-importance; find genuine self-esteem, hope, trust, and optimism. Interestingly, you can overcome prejudicial and discriminatory thoughts as well.

Let’s imagine you’ve boiled a pot of water for tea and are about to pour it into a cup. If you’re not careful, the water might spill over because the pot and cup have vastly different capacities. Naturally, the pot is larger in all dimensions than the cup, so it’s impractical to expect the cup to contain all the water from the pot. This is common sense.

To illustrate further, let’s turn to our physical world. Rivers flow into the ocean endlessly without making a significant impact because the ocean has the immense capacity to absorb it all. Now, consider what happens when the capacity is less than that of the pot or the ocean.

Imagine yourself as a cup with an ocean-like potential. Despite this, personal and group-related insecurities often make you feel and think that you are no more than a mere physical vessel.

The human imagination is akin to an ocean or even space itself. Though it may seem improbable, I previously used the term “ocean in a drop.” Despite seeming insignificant, as individuals, we truly are an ocean within a drop. This is because, despite the torrents of knowledge continuously pouring in throughout our civilization and evolution, not only do we retain it, but we also pass it on to future generations. We create and develop new neurons as needed, indicating that we have yet to fully grasp our true potential.

Spiritually, we all carry a “God particle,” with God physically manifesting through humanity, utilizing the human individual as a vessel. Both are forever intertwined in the balanced operation of the living, breathing combination of spirit and physical, though mortal, entities. When God moves on, the physical body ceases, but the spirit moves forward to the next stage.

The continuum of life and its evolution is perpetually transmitted to subsequent generations through the evolutionary process. This means that potential has always existed and continues to do so. Thus, individually, we must delve deep within ourselves to uncover our potential, at least for our own sake. We can evolve further, accumulate diverse knowledge, and pass it down to future generations. This process has been ongoing, is ongoing, and will persist until humanity reaches its zenith. Where exactly are we headed? As individuals, we may not have that answer, but our descendants will inherit our legacies and pursue further depths.

As individuals, spiritually, we possess the capacity of an ocean, yet physically mortal, we face limitations akin to a cup. Managing the vast disparity between our physical and spiritual selves can be bewildering. Therefore, in our lifetimes, wisdom is needed to strike a balance within. Acknowledging our mortality while living a mortal life can provide clarity and perspective. Consequently, individually, we must seek this understanding; otherwise, we risk internal conflict, leading to unhappiness, discontentment, and associated losses that could jeopardize our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Being a cup physically and an ocean spiritually can tear apart the ordinary individual unless common sense prevails. As mortal beings, trying to contain an ocean in a cup presents challenges. Therefore, it’s essential to apply spirituality-related knowledge, such as understanding free will and personal justice, especially when navigating the politics of belonging. Losing this balance can lead to personal suffering.

Becoming the CEO of your own life, capable of organizing everything and everyone effectively, should be a valued quality and asset in our societies. We should collectively question why this isn’t encouraged more. If you feel your cup is constantly overflowing, it’s crucial to take charge as a CEO of your life. If you’ve been convinced you’re not significant enough to be your own CEO, you’ve been misled by the politics of belonging, relinquishing your power to your group. As the CEO of your life, remember that time is finite. Use your mortal life wisely to do justice to yourself. Failing to do so is like living with an overflowing cup, defying common sense that tells us a pot holds more than a cup. By overextending ourselves, hoping to live forever and assuming God-like roles, we neglect our mortality and create unnecessary stress, despite holding the key to balance within ourselves.

Allowing desires to outweigh efforts leads to self-imposed chaos. Such paths can rob us of happiness and contentment, which is unwise for mortals. By maintaining a spiritual perspective alongside our mortal nature, we can align our thoughts. Achieving comfort in our own skin can be challenging in today’s world, given our blessed free will and sense of personal justice, often overshadowed by the powerful influence of group politics. Failure to utilize these spiritual insights makes mortality difficult to grasp. Conflicting personal desires with group politics can result in self-criticism, revealing the formidable influence of group identity. Religions and nationalisms, founded upon and perpetuated by such group affiliations, continue to fuel prejudice and discrimination worldwide, despite our shared humanity.

Yet, within each of us resides a fundamental decency. Conflict often arises when personal convictions clash with group affiliations, even among the educated, compromising spiritual principles. Without a strong personality, individuals may favor group loyalty over spiritual integrity. However, strengthening our spiritual side to honor free will and personal justice requires introspective self-management. Until we transcend group politics and prioritize human unity, these differences will persist. Our spiritual side continually urges us towards honesty, truth, and freedom from political agendas.

Internal conflicts and self-doubt can be tormenting. Ignoring this inner turmoil risks physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Therefore, self-understanding is crucial.

Genetically, we’re designed to make choices, making personal responsibility integral to our lives. To attain wisdom, one must truly become the CEO of their life. Although groups may oppose individuals asserting freedom, personal growth demands reclaiming autonomy. Surrendering personal liberties for false security contradicts our mortal reality, ultimately risking a life spent accumulating without fulfillment.

Remember, your life is your project, and you are its manager. You can either conform to the system or live fully as an individual. God did not create us as mere parts of a machine; our free will allows us to decide. Despite external influences, reciprocation and personal justice remain essential aspects of life’s journey.

Security and comfort arise naturally when we give and receive. Hoarding beyond necessity neglects balance—the key to justice for oneself, God, and others. Unfortunately, societal inclinations often sacrifice individual liberties for collective gains, ignoring the principles of justice.

As individuals, we can live exclusively for ourselves, neglecting reciprocal responsibilities. Despite knowing God and community, personal injustices leave lasting scars. Strengthening oneself against the complexities of reciprocity requires assertiveness and resilience.

Balancing our limited time on Earth isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Understanding our mortal nature, free will, and the politics of belonging is crucial. Compliance with personal justice creates internal balance; without it, the root of our problems lies within. Understanding how to live comfortably in our mortal skin hinges on reciprocity.

It’s challenging to balance life’s demands, especially when religious rituals and traditions overshadow familial bonds. Elevating religious rules above family needs reflects the overpowering influence of belonging politics. Choosing religious doctrines over familial love signals the grip of group identity. Any belief system advocating this over family should be scrutinized by those valuing familial bonds. In the journey of a mortal being, everything has its place, and balance is paramount. Selective adherence doesn’t make one a good CEO; it diminishes the God-given status we possess.

No matter the influence, we must mature into a pillar of support rather than a fragile entity always seeking security. Survival isn’t solely through willpower or emotion but by adaptive CEO-like qualities. Humanity’s evolution underscores our capacity for change.

We often revere ancestral knowledge as flawless, often at the cost of conflict, especially regarding religious differences. Many conflicts stem from our unfaltering faith in the wisdom of our forebears.

We’re not mere creatures needing carrot-and-stick conditioning. Good deeds should stem from reciprocal responsibility, not fear of hell or desire for heaven. Our actions should honor the intricate workings that sustain life, appreciating the temporary physicality we enjoy.

Unfortunately, religious leaders sometimes prioritize sacrifices for the afterlife. Regardless of their intentions, ignoring happiness in our current life undermines the philosophy of mortality. Every individual has the choice to live expansively or minimally, holding potential as the CEO of their life. Political leaders—whether racial, gendered, religious, or national—often diminish individual significance for mass control. Would you surrender your innate CEO status to another human? Continually questioning ourselves guides us toward fulfilling our true potential as intended by a higher power. Remember, we are more than just physical bodies; we transcend mere existence.

Treating ourselves as animals, subjected to external control, is misguided. Society’s rules shouldn’t compel us; self-regulation prevails beyond mere policing. However, some exploit weak regulations, perpetuating societal dysfunction. Not all harbor untamed instincts; the notion of pervasive human savagery is unfounded.

Our loyalties and ideologies inevitably intertwine with group politics but should never eclipse our spiritual values. Compassion, personal justice, forgiveness, sacrifice, and unconditional love—freely given, not coerced—are our spiritual jewels. The politics of belonging often favor the masses over individuals, necessitating individual advocacy for equal rights. Balancing diverse affiliations—be it with humans, corporations, political entities, or authorities—ensures equitable treatment and rights.

Emotional conflicts define our daily existence, influencing our personal growth and societal progress. Despite advancement, health imbalances persist, like the stresses of navigating love triangles. Equally dividing passionate, instinctive, and universal love prevents emotional turmoil and preserves inner peace.

Living solely as physical beings overlooks our spiritual dimension. We possess free will to navigate mortality’s lessons. Extremes—selfishness or self-sacrifice—undermine our spiritual health, fostering discontentment, unhappiness, even depression or anxiety. Achieving balance, spiritually and physically, defines a successful mortal life.

Individuals, like creatures, crave freedom. However, there’s inherent satisfaction in our mortal limitations, finding deep fulfillment in serving others.

Belonging to a community offers comfort during vulnerable times. We often attribute our actions to divine influence, ascribing them to God or the Devil. In reality, these actions manifest through human agency, not supernatural forces. Our communities’ territorial ideologies sometimes demonize opposing groups, perpetuating conflict. Political powers manipulate individuals in the name of nationalism, religion, even God.

Today, history reflects violence and spiritual transgressions in the name of group identity, absolving individual responsibility. Rectifying this requires individual strength. Religious and nationalistic leaders discourage such independence, leveraging guilt and shame to maintain control. Religious advisors promise fulfillment through prayer, placing responsibility solely on the supplicant’s sincerity and cleanliness.

Indoctrinated from birth as flawed or sinful, individuals blame themselves or God, but rarely the political manipulators.

If we all take on the role of the CEO of our lives and put everything in perspective, we can do God’s work by translating spiritual thoughts into physical actions. Merely praying and worshiping isn’t sufficient. Populations, humanity, and God need our hands, backs, and shoulders—not just our heads bowed in fear. God’s true work is us helping each other. Since God’s spiritual nature doesn’t require physicality, godly work manifests through us helping those in need within humanity. Our unknowns aren’t our realities; our physical world defines human reality. Therefore, I believe our prayers and worship should also reflect practical, physically-based realities.

If we fail to help each other, the prayers of those praying may not be physically fulfilled. Looking at the reality of human wars and destruction, people fight and pray for the destruction of other human beings.

Our problems, such as global warming and infections like Ebola and Coronavirus, won’t be contained if we believe it’s solely God’s job to do so. Either we should refrain from meddling with it or pray for our safety.

Remember, I repeatedly emphasize that God’s work is carried out physically by human beings. Name any good, spiritual action that occurs without human input becoming a physical reality. You might think of miracles, but consider how many miracles you’ve witnessed compared to the countless good deeds performed by ordinary people every day. By now, you should understand my point.

My perspective on miracles occurring every day is a child born with a physical body that embodies the spirit of God, which then transforms spirituality into physical actions. One might ask about bad deeds or the Devil—these are the questions you should constantly pose to yourself to set your triangle right. This website’s name, “Who Flipped My Triangle,” aims to shift real responsibility onto real people instead of hiding behind God and the Devil.

Every child born is a physical instrument for God, but unfortunately, it can also go the other way. Therefore, comprehending human responsibilities is crucial, both individually and collectively. Understanding how God’s work is achieved is essential. Our social crimes against each other are essentially spiritual crimes, all perpetrated by human individuals. Who are these individuals? They’re usually those striving for security, forgetting their mortal nature, or experiencing early love losses (Read Love Triangle).

If your group makes you believe you’re an insignificant part of God or humanity, your wings are clipped, preventing you from flying solo. Religious education often emphasizes that God and the Devil are primary figures, rendering the human individual insignificant.

A bit of logic reveals the true importance and reality of human individuals. If human beings were to disappear, would God or the Devil retain any significance? If individuals recognize their importance and place in the grand scheme of life, religious leaders would lose authority and importance, opting for a political rather than spiritual path. They promise heaven and instill fear of hell. Analyze this and see what it truly signifies—a carrot-and-stick philosophy, in my view.

As humanity evolves, concepts that work temporarily eventually become outdated. The carrot-and-stick approach has proven ineffective in the long run for human beings. I particularly oppose it because I believe politics has no place in the spiritual realm.

Animals are trained using the carrot-and-stick philosophy. Similarly, religions often view us as mere animals devoid of our spiritual attributes, thus treating us as beings to be controlled through force and fear. If we were truly animals, we could be molded and controlled, yet social or spiritual crimes have always existed. Unfortunately, human beings aren’t like animals. Defying religious rituals, traditions, and rules isn’t new; we’ve always evolved and even created new religions and sects. It’s all because…

We are a blend of spirit and physicality with free will, personal justice, the capacity to sacrifice, forgive, and above all, love. We can self-regulate and question authority. If we’re not free or are oppressed, we can sense and understand it. Having others force us can be problematic. If you, as an individual, are the CEO of your life, you see the politics behind traditions, customs, rules, and rituals, questioning authority. In the past, this was a serious crime, but today, equal human rights have ushered in an era where religious beliefs take a backseat to equality.

Extremists resort to extreme measures, inciting religious wars to maintain the relevance of religions. They ensure educated, liberal-minded people remain insecure, encouraging adherence to group ideologies.

Humanity remains divided in over two hundred ways, yet from a spiritual and scientific viewpoint, our group politics simply don’t make sense. If God’s work is carried out by living, breathing human beings, then it transcends race, gender, sexual orientation, color, nation, religion, or sect. Every living, breathing human being is part of God, and we cannot kill each other in the name of God.

Remember, God and human beings are universal, without boundaries. Even archenemies use drugs invented by individuals from opposing groups merely to survive, yet they fail to acknowledge or appreciate them due to belonging to different groups. In times of need, things cross boundaries. The Ebola virus was contained through collective efforts. The space station is another example, and today, global warming and coronavirus demand collective attention. Can Trump’s wall really shield America from extreme weather events linked to global warming? In reality, whom are we deceiving with our politics? Spiritually and scientifically, we are all in this together, so differences in politics should be set aside sooner rather than later.

The glory days of religions were associated with swords, spears, and arrows, attributing weather and natural disasters to God’s wrath—still a belief in some human segments. With weapons of mass destruction, we can’t entrust everything to people who disregard personal and individual responsibility. No wall is high enough to prevent destruction. Therefore, it’s time for flawed humanity to come together to survive.

Our conflicts, social and spiritual crimes against each other, aren’t just the Devil’s doing or manifestations of our animalistic side’s strength. We’re also responsible for them, as every one of us possesses free will. We can counter these by raising awareness of our spiritual side.

Our evolution, civilization, and progress should aid us, but all kinds of politics hinder us. Our political education emphasizing group loyalty over human belonging ranks highly. If you’re told all your life that loyalty to your ancestors’ group is paramount in your mortal life…

You’re raised believing opposing groups aim to rob or kill you, with individual security foundational to our social governing systems.

Regarding religion, it professes belief in God, yet its actions contradict its teachings. It preaches compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice, and love, yet fails miserably in practice. Words may be spiritual, but actions speak of barbarism. A spiritually healthy individual should benefit greatly from believing in God, yet religious conflicts portray spiritual bankruptcy. They believe in God, but their politics of belonging supersede spiritual values. They advocate committing spiritual crimes against individuals who don’t comply with traditions, customs, rules, and rituals. Collectively, we’re all victims of extreme group politics.

As I’ve said, every child born in the world arrives with a fully functional body, hands, backs, and shoulders to give physical life to a spiritual God. Regrettably, we destroy these helpers, prideful that we’re killing them in God’s name.

Consider with common sense: why would God instruct us to kill people in His name? We aren’t genetically programmed to kill each other. Proof lies in our free will. If God controlled us, we couldn’t commit any crime, let alone spiritual ones. Understanding ourselves as human beings involves understanding our capacity and potential. As CEOs, we mustn’t forget our mortality in our brief time on earth. Reciprocation should underpin our foundational philosophy, not the carrot-and-stick approach…
