Humanity has been evolving to gain a whole lot of knowledge yet still is a victim of our ancestral knowledge based on us and them philosophy. Sooner we learn the better, that we have to evolve from this curse to take the next step into our evolution because our weaponry is evolving light years ahead of our emotional or animal side. Today we are learning that our animal side domination is connected to our racism, gender bias and prejudice. These are the plagues we have been carrying from our cave and bush times. Regardless of our modern day civilization we are still killing each other so there is no way of keeping log on how many of us have been killed from our us them philosophy.
Look at our so called elite spiritual preachers from religious back ground, these days even our monks can’t be immune to the politics of sense of belonging. Look around the world every religious group preaches and talk up the world with a word calls compassion and related knowledge yet their politics of sense of belonging has been and is always able to rob the com out of their so called word compassion. Religious passion has always been trumping compassion, they talk about spirituality, justice and day of judgement but they don’t even think twice killing innocent beings for their political agenda.
Believing in God does not mean that you become an extremist in your prescribed ideology. You still have to take care of your life issues as an independent entity. Not doing to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones is a common sense rule.
There is no reason to protect God from non believers other than politics, so understand that God can take care of Godly issues very well. On one side of the face you say God is almighty and on the other you kill for God. Ask yourself what is ?driving you not to believe that God is not almighty? What makes you think God needs you to protect God. You getting bent out of shape is not because you want to protect God. It is your politics of sense of belonging which compels you to fit in, impress and want to be admired by your belonging groups. Punishing someone for not following religious rules is actually a lack of trust in God Almighty’s will.
If you even damage someone’s property never mind hurting or killing them is plain and simple spiritual crime because you yourself would not like to be on the receiving end of your actions.
Knowing and separating spirituality from politics is our personal and individual responsibility so is joining or not joining the mob to kill innocents. Politics of sense of belonging has deep roots into human psyche because of our chemical reactions. Regardless of its power over people it still falls under the responsibilities of the individual to control urges. You would be portrayed by the belonging group as a weak of cowered if you don’t join their cause but actually it even harder for the individual to control animal urges. Remember we are not created as animal exclusively we bring along spiritual side as well. Sure we can’t kill our animal side because of its legitimacy from God but our spiritual side should dictate our actions as evolved human beings. Being a human individual is a privilege because we all each and everyone of us has God like abilities. When our religious leaders start to prescribe prayers for material achievements they play games with people’s belief systems and even individual’s beliefs in God’s existence. One can worship and do everything prescribed but God still does not show up that can have an impact on one’s belief system. Future lack of trust can lead one to become an atheist just because of the advise. If you go back and complain you may be blamed for having no trust in God. Since not everything is clear we should not play with someone’s spirituality.
Evolving from the curse of political belonging to our groups has not happened because we don’t even acknowledge it as a problem. Since we all have been exposed and brain washed with our identity politics right from the childhood, we individually don’t acknowledge the concept of belonging to humanity as a whole. An ingrained knowledge of political belonging to groups at tender age can connect it to our hormonal reactions.
In that state of mind criticizing it even with logic is illogical unless we learn about being a human belonging to humanity as a whole first and right from childhood instead of our so called color, race, gender, nations and religions related group identity.
So far the best remedy humanity has introduced to the individual is the equal human rights. These rights don’t only right our wrongs, they actually are the logical anti dotes of our wrongs carried through our generations. Our us and them philosophy is the foundational problem and is going to be hard to take the next step into human evolution.
As a CEO we can correct it individually from within, one person at a time. If we stay the course as we are going we would never be able to find that illusive peace humanity has been seeking for thousands of years. Our nationalism, and extreme religious belonging has been an ultimate failure because they both bring their politics from top down yet the key is from the bottom up. We need to understand and change ourselves at individual level to fight something big like politics of sense of belonging because of its hormonal connections and influences on us. No matter which way you cut it human has to grow spiritually to belong to humanity as a whole being connected to groups we would always be entangled with our prejudiced and discriminatory politics..
We would be suffering not only individually but collectively as well until we collectively convince the individual that they are more than just the extension of a race, gender, nation or an ideology. They have to know that they are the CEO of their lives individually and they have more responsibilities on their shoulders to manifest changes for the better.
Lets start here with this question, I would like each and everyone of us to ask this in the dead of the night or in total privacy, think deeply and logically before answering it. Remember just your opinion without any political or emotional biased related influences.
Simply ask yourself. What would be the ultimate sin committed against you or your loved ones? You may would have different opinions but to me if you are on the receiving end of being punished for something you are 100% innocent is an ultimate crime against me. Now look back in human history and even in present days and see what our ancestors have been and we still are doing to each other. Top of the list is that we kill each others innocents just because of their looks, beliefs and belonging.
Remember I said innocents it is because when we are born we have no control where and who are we born to, so if you are born into certain race, color, nation or religious beliefs you are innocent until you have committed a crime or a sin against someone. Ask anyone if our court systems punish someone who just look like or believes in the same religion. It would be highly unjust because there are millions of us look alike and belong to same religions. In real justice only the individual who commits a crime gets punished, every religion says the same, we all are responsible for our actions and we are going to hell or heaven according to our actions.
Now my question is where does this logic go when it comes to the politics of our sense of belonging? Regardless of nation or religion our individual actions are supervised by our justice systems and our individual spiritual nature. Instead of teachings of spirituality and justice nationalism and religious indoctrination has been and still is our starting education in our societies.
Highly political.
If we are not aware of the strength of our personal sense of justice and spiritual nature our ignorance can harm us individually. Being political is a department taught by our belonging groups but spirituality and personal sense of justice is ingrained within as part of us from before birth. If they clash the individual can be torn from within which can result in losing zest, happiness and contentment of life and as a mortal individual we just can’t afford to lose that.
There is a lot more responsibility on our mortal shoulders because not only we have to deal with external politics we need to understand the strength of our internal critic as well all at the same time. If you can’t juggle all that because it is hard, you end up leaving everything one others shoulders and become just a follower. Not only that has the potential to rob you of your individual and real identity, it can compel you to commit crimes and sins in the name of your belonging groups. All that is watched by the critic sitting right within you.
Just like each food has it’s taste and chefs usually mix the edible foods to create the new taste, if it’s good it sales, if it is bad it does not. Some taste become so common that people want to jazz it up by adding their own additions. From traditional foods to actual customs of human societies to governing and worshiping, our world is full of differences yet the quest for better does not stop. We don’t just follow the evolution of the tastes, we have been and are still trying to reach a better taste in all departments of our life so its an on going quest.
Human societies have been seeking to have a batter ways of governing which automatically brings difference of opinions. In beginning it makes people to get out of their comfort zone. Clashing cultures, defensive resistance and wars can result and then eventually people learn to live together. They mingle and mix just like foods some time its not a good mix and become a never ending conflict. Yet some time the new mix is better tasting than their old ways of living because of the spirituality related tolerance and acceptance brings more of the good by removing politics of belonging to groups. Society then benefits from mixing knowledge and higher level of fivers or atom of autonomy that can bring transformation for the better.
Some of the western societies can be described as melting pot societies because you can find people from all over the world with different colors, nationalities and belief systems. Since they have democracies with equal human rights they usually are successful regardless of present wave of protectionism people are generally happier. They have created a taste of the equal human rights which is liked by all kind of people. If their group politics wins and they sacrifice equal human rights they may lose what they have gained by attracting talent from all over the world.
Since brain drain from all over the world has had helped them to evolve much faster and further than their counterparts they need to keep their values. Desire to move to western nations is not only for the financial reasons it is because of freedom and security as well. With internet things can change just as fast because today we all have an instant news.
With every war and dispute a wave of refugees leaves war torn zones and they end up in western societies. It is especially a good refuge for the people who have moved from the oppressive societies, whenever an individual migrates they bring their fiver to contribute into the new world they adopt.
Whenever I say in my opinion it means I could be wrong so in my opinion people leaving the oppressive societies, are usually alpha people who sacrifice their present or status quo to change their future and put more efforts into changing their living conditions. It is great to have success oriented people in one place, because higher number of the driven people can not only enrich themselves they help the society they join simultaneously.
Being alpha can bring individual problems as well so wherever they congregate social issues can arise. For instance re-establishing themselves and go through the struggles and then putting efforts for dominance even in their love department which can ruin the personal relationships because there are equal human rights. At work, the job dissatisfaction can lead to unacceptable subordination meaning individual unhappiness, eventually when the individual suffers so does the society, so we progress in certain areas but develop deficiencies in the other. Alpha parent bring alpha kids then everyone try to dominate each other, you get the picture.
The most important thing in a mortal individual’s life should be the happiness. Things like wealth may provide one kind of happiness, socially it may be popular but if you really know your self you can tell what is more important to you.
For instance you live in an oppressive society, but you like to express your thoughts with freedom, regardless of wealth you would not be happy because you can’t express yourself freely. If you have lot of freedom but you are poor and can’t enjoy your freedom, either way your pursuit should be the happiness. Knowing what kind of wealth you appreciate helps you to choose the path you should be on.
Ideally one should achieve inner and outer peace, happiness and contentment. Regardless of success in life the individual’s ideal package is incomplete unless it contain physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual health and happiness. If you believe that only financial freedom will take care of everything, it may not be true for you as an individual. If you sacrifice all the other areas to be successful in financial department still it does not make it a good strategy because eventually you will have to be apart and leave it all behind.
If you say your days are numbered, than that means we have no say in it. Believing that way may help to take fears and stresses of life away but we need to understand that we have a say in every thing we do. From healthy or bad habits to the ability to suicide of human being are clear examples of choices. If you eat bad and hope that it does not have an impact on your health and the length of life, it may help because of the belief system but reality is that we can’t just will or pray our self to a longer or better life.
Since we as an individual are the most important person in our personal life, our decisions make a difference in our day today life regardless of what kind of belief system we follow. This all happens after we have inhaled our life giving oxygen so our powers are not exclusive to us. Regardless of God’s invisibility our belief systems are our important realities or at least they should be because they should be there to help us live this life with quality.
If you fear too much, you kill your self with the stress related slow death, if you do not, your reckless behavior will kill you faster. It’s not the death itself, it’s the quality of life that matters in a mortal life. Regardless of what you believe if your belief system helps to put quality in your life, it is the right one. If it is robbing your quality of life, it is your responsibility to make the needed changes or amendments in your belief system. It is not important to change a religion or become an atheist because it just does not solve the individual problems. If you choose to bring some spiritual health in everyday life, you may find peace from within. You have to make the changes regardless of how hard it is to defy the set rules of any system. Quality is all that matters in a mortal life so it is important for you to put efforts to achieve that goal.
In a society we all need equality and rights which requires big brother with rules, justice system and police because we are not in the bush or cave living times. We need a security system so everyone can live with dignity. Our troubles start when our politics takes over the justice system to suit certain group of people exclusively.
Since we have an evolutionary nature, we have trouble following our older and ancestral justice systems all over the world. There is a need to evolve with our evolving nature. As we evolve, our awareness helps us to make the crime bigger or smaller. Just like homosexuality is not a big deal in the western cultures any more like it use to be. Today alcohol, gambling and now pot is on the list of things governments run themselves. Yet not too long ago and even in present days police still is chasing the people whom were selling alcohol and these days same thing is going on with the pot. It is all because of our group politics has the power to change crimes as we evolve.
These days humanity is going through fast and changing time. Societies are at different levels of evolution because of our rules and internet is available to dissolve all the boundaries as well.
This rapidly changing time is actually galvanizing the conservationism and protectionism, so the war is on. Since the can of worms has been opened you can’t just put everything back so this clash has not seen its end yet. How far are we going to take take our differences? Can we stay on the road to evolution? That all depends on the education, that is why the conservatives are fearful of ordinary individual getting educated. They have been against the free education and they politically connect it to socialism just like the health care and social assistance, whether it is socialist or not I think educated person becomes a moderate and is a lot more peaceful then the uneducated ones. We have all levels of education in people some less some more regardless of schooling because it comes in different areas of life, for instance some are intellectuals in emotions, some are aware of finance, some are better physically and some are well rounded. Regardless of education we all have one thing in common and that is the physicality of living, where we have hunger and need of love. Individual education is most important factor after health, happiness, hunger and love.
You can see the mutilation of individual human rights by the ruling people or authorities all over the world. As an individual we all need freedom of being equal to have self-esteem, if that is taken away we reduce the value of ourselves and follow the mob mentality, which is one of the main cause of our wars and social problems after the love loss.
Education of the individual is the foundation of a successful society. Instead of making education business, it should be compulsory and free, it may sound socialist idea but it has nothing to with politics. Bring students from all over the world educate them to become teachers and send them back so they can spread the education and better yet use internet for free education so the world does not have to leave their loved ones to chase their dreams.
I personally believe all developed countries should have a poverty, health and education tax for the whole humanity so we can really solve our problems related to extremism, evolve together and learn to live with each other as human beings. If you really want to work against the terrorism make the education free to the world so we as an individual can shift our sense of belonging to humanity instead of an exclusive group.
Talking about the free education, Fidel Castro has passed away people call him hero and the villain at the same time, even Justin Trudeau got in trouble praising him. He may have been a dictator and committed some atrocities but he educated his people the best he could. I am no fan of dictatorships, kingdoms or any kind of authoritarian governing system not even for socialism if individual rights are not respected.
Whether its race, color, nation or a religion it still should be under the rules of equal human rights. One of my theme in this Blog is that as an individual we all should learn to belong to humanity as a whole, instead of groups. Canada is a good example, we have all kind of people yet they are Canadians and are able to live together under the same rules. The next step is to belong to humanity as a whole. Imagine how well humanity can do if everyone can learn to contribute their fiver and live with the equal human rights.
As groups even drug cartel can have loyalist people. Dictators like Hitler, Sadaam Husain, Gathafy, Bshaar al alassad or Fidel Castro will have a lot of people whom think they were God sent leaders but there would also be people who would think them as Devil.
How can we change that? Even democratically elected people can be just as bad and commit spiritual crimes in the name of their belonging groups. Interestingly that is all because of the politics of sense of belonging. Sure putting them down has not helped humanity but by looking at them critically so we can see what is the cause of their actions. If they have not done anything good for the humanity as a whole then we can measure their policies as political. They may be good for their belonging group but they all have the potential to commit spiritual crimes in the name of sense of belonging to their group.
Looking at humanity’s history English, French, Roman Empires even Ghangaze Khan in the past and in present days Russian and American Empires are doing the same thing. They all can be heroes and villains in the name of sense of belonging to their belonging groups so the solution is to learn to belong to the humanity as a whole and not to rob each other of love in the name of belonging nation or religion.
Sure I am an idealist and I hope that our technology can help us through internet to spread the education all over the world. If people are educated and know how to fish then they don’t need the continuous help. The solution to our problems is not hate, separations and walls of security, its love. Robing love of others has been, is and always will be a failed strategy which we have been trying for millions of years.
Instead of playing with reciprocation as a tax game, our tax system should be promoted as a spiritual thing and it should allow people to have hands on approach. They should be able to see what their help is doing so they can feel good about themselves and their actions of reciprocation.
The idea of reciprocation should not be a chore nor it should be abused by the able bodies. Charities dry and go up and down with the feelings of financial insecurities, that is why we need a study supply of good will. If its in the form of tax, people may resent to pay but the knowledge of good deeds and what their money does for the humanity is as important as it is needed. When people abuse the system and don’t work regardless of their ability, they are not reciprocating which creates resentment in the tax payers, so the tax collectors and spender have to have programs designed to keep the able bodies not only working but to educate them about the reciprocation as well.
Having people on social assistance for generations is a flaw not recognized by the individual because of lack of education. It is needed to be fixed by recognizing the causes of the problems like mental health or plain and simple abuse of the system from both sides. Each and every one of us has the duty to reciprocate, this give and take is the game of life not only for physical life it is based on the spirituality as well where we share our duties to keep God’s work going. We are cells of God so their is a purpose of our life which is clearly a spiritual give and take, just like the functioning of the body keeps the cells alive, in return we live to help the body as whole to live.
As an individual and as a group, we need to learn this simple rule of the thumb if it hurts you, it hurts all other human beings the same way, so don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones.
When we mix politics of our religions with our justice systems we remove the evolutionary process because most religions follow a set of written rules, written thousands of years ago with no chance to compromise, change, or amendments. The politics of that is, if God is involved, right or wrong the blame is not on the enforcers, which means a lot of room for the human group politics because God is not there to defend God.
If God left every thing on the human to take care of, then they act and make God who punishes, enforces group politics and some time becomes a bad guy. God who does not even want to defend himself because the responsibilities are on the shoulders of human beings. In order to understand God’s wisdom we need to evolve, take charge and reach to the higher level of potential of our never ending and expanding potential.
If we never take charge, pursue our potential and assume responsibilities individually, we would never reach our expanding potential. Undermining human individual has never been done by God, but it has always been done by other human beings. God has done the job by creating us with an evolutionary nature and never ending potential, now it is up to us to reach for that potential what God had really meant for us.
We can burn some one alive or destroy a whole city or a country with everyone in it regardless of guilt. A spiritual being who is evolved can not afford to have a speck of an innocent’s blood on them but a political fanatic would not hesitate committing spiritual crimes in the name of their belonging group. If it was up to the radicals we would not evolve, but it’s not up to a small segment of human population, it’s up to the human mass, who is always evolving and that is what God had meant for us, so it is all of our duty to evolve to the next level and belong to the humanity as a whole. It is our duty to over come our insecurities spread by our belonging groups because of political reasons. It is time to join hands through the internet to help each other regardless of where in the world we live, if some one needs help, we as a humanity should be able to reach them. If you look at our problems our fundamental problem is our politics of sens of belonging to our groups.
Today everyone of us should know that we have one glob and whenever we have a problem which can’t be contained by one nation or group of people we call it global. Like global warming, global pandemic of infectious diseases, internet related crime rate and businesses requires global coordination and consolidation to achieve success in equal human rights related justice system. If international efforts had not been their we would still have human sacrifice as tradition, gay would not be getting married, sati would be still alive and well in India. Our progress is there but it is slow because of our politics, we don’t want to acknowledge it when it comes to the politics of sense of belonging to our groups.
Then we have our old school of thought clashing with new realities of the glob. Our problems are related to human psyche, from our hormones to politics of nationalism to religions to individual and personal struggles.
With ten trillions cells and hundred trillions bacteria our individual complexities are immense, one has to become a CEO to understand and juggle even basic tasks of life. You can try to simplify by following your ancestral knowledge and even ignore the depth of being a human being. You may even feel like drowning because you can’t see the facts hidden way way behind he politics of sense of belonging.
If you don’t even question how would you learn any further? If you say you already know or you know someone who knows, you are not questioning. Our questioning nature has brought us where we are today. Unfortunately there has always been people who claimed they knew or followed people who claimed they knew.
As humanity our simple fact is that we just can’t stop questioning because of our nature. Evolving further is so over whelming that even our nationalism and religions could not stop people from questioning and evolving. Interestingly as an individual we have potential to learn with no boundaries but since we are mortal we just pass it on to our coming generations. As an individual we grow new neurons as we learn so that growth has no limits that means our collective potential has a growing potential so not questioning is not natural.
Fear of unknown and politics of belonging groups are not natural either so staying in the boundary lines of any human group would eventually fall. If you belong to old school philosophy you will criticize others for following their nature yet your criticism is not on the bases of facts but it is political exclusively.
If you individually have something wrong with you, you are going to deal with it personally, or you will go to someone your belonging group believes can help. Usually someone who went to school to learn their craft.
As human beings we are evolving entity, so our knowledge is in evolution as well, which means we are still learning. When we believe we know, we stop questioning and stop learning. If you are one of those who really believes in your belonging group’s knowledge being correct your political influences can have the power to harm you. If you let it, potentially you are ignoring your health and happiness. If you can’t get help from your knowledge and the one who you thought knew, can put you in the pickle especially when your healing worsen your condition.
It is not only harmful physically, it potentially can hurt your faith as well. Simply change and keep on questioning because your mortality is not going to change. Your questioning may bring knowledge which can benefit even your coming generations. Whether its science, medicine or religion all human knowledge should be open to our questioning nature otherwise we get locked into our ancestral and ancient ways of doing things and stop following our evolutionary nature.
Our dictators are victims of out of control sense of belonging to their belonging groups, so they commit spiritual crimes against all other opposing human beings. If you look at it deeply you would find that its not only the dictators whom are guilty of these crimes, democratically elected governments and so called Godly and religious nations are doing the same thing in the name of their belonging groups. Until we as an individual learn that there is no us and them when it comes to humanity, spirituality and God, we will not be enlightened enough to get it whatever is wrong with humanity.
