Sure we are a social creature but genetically we are not like ants or bees, each and every single one of us has been created as a tree or CEO of our lives. All our belonging groups have been trying undermine human individual’s value and importance for political purposes but our religions take it even further preach human irrelevance and even call them born sinners. Yet logically if you remove human beings the whole spiritual falls flat on its face. God and Devil are our metaphoric realities so in order to be relevant they both need human being’s physicality. Both our good and bad can’t be physically performed if we don’t have human beings. A beautiful lily in the forest pond has no physical eyes to appreciate its beauty. A town becomes a ghost town, a haunted house can’t scare anyone and the whole spiritual fabric of God loses everything if it loses the thread its made of.
Spirituality and justice both are the fundamentals of humanity or at least they should be because without our spiritual jewelry we are just a physically existing creature but as human beings we are blessed with our own atom of autonomy, a God like ability makes us use our free will, personal sense of justice, compassion and ability love to even knowingly sacrifice ourselves for others. As a constantly evolving and progressing entity we have come long way from caves and bush to thriving mega cities. Now we live in societies with their own justice systems. In today’s era if you go to court you will have to take an oath and say nothing but truth or truth and nothing but. Unfortunately because we are born into our communities with their own traditions, customs, rituals and political rules we are exposed to and then are expected to even reinforce and protect it all regardless of its political taints. Individually we are bombarded with the knowledge to brain wash and conform to the values and importance of group politics and sense of belonging. Individual strength, importance and relevance has been and still is discouraged. Especially personal spirituality and sense of justice, the very own and valuable jewelry of humanity takes a back seat when it comes to the politics of belonging to our groups. Sure we still can’t live without our societies or our political systems but the connections between our politics of belonging and sufferings of humanity or human individual in general are so pronounce that we can’t deny their phenomenal powers. We have been and are still suffering from committing injustice against each other and there is no getting around it, at least not yet.
If you claim sense of belonging to our groups is the only political way of human individual and collective living. Either spiritually you are not strong enough to question the popular political trends or you don’t understand that as human beings we all are created as a tree not a branch. A tree belong to a jungle and as human beings we belong to humanity as a whole. You can see all kind of trees exist without claiming a piece of land by per square inch and human beings are living in melting pot societies yet we still kill each other over our race, nation and religious beliefs.
I am trying to point towards our spirituality and personal sense of justice which allows us to live in peace with each other in melting pot societies. As we are born our parents, belonging community, nation and religions add to our identity layer by layer to the point that we forget that our first identity is human being who is born with their personal atom of autonomy and related free will, compassion, ability to love and evolve, all from before birth. Since by God we are created as an evolving entity, no matter how much we learn and know we still have to keep going to learn more and evolve further by our nature. Remember we don’t have any boundaries around us from God and no one is pulling our strings unless you are under the influences of your belonging groups and buy into everything what you have been politically sold. If your truths are coming from your belonging groups you yourself are undermining your God given authority by believing that you are just a branch belonging to a tree you call a group of people. If you think your group given knowledge is an ultimate knowledge you are undermining your Godly installed evolutionary nature and to me that is a disrespect to you and your creator simultaneously.
There is an African proverb I read that somewhere as a meme. And I quote, “A WISE MAN NEVER KNOWS ALL, ONLY FOOLS KNOW EVERYTHING”. End quote. It clearly means that even as groups we can’t claim that we know everything so buying into our politically tainted group truths would be individually political as well.
Reading a book holy or otherwise, getting a master’s degree or receiving a PhD in certain department of life does not give us a complete knowledge to become a decently evolved and well rounded human individual especially in today’s society. Our acceptance of not knowing everything and being humble on the other hand can and does help. Sure we don’t grow horns or wings but our constantly evolving knowledge keep reminding us about our evolving nature. If you dispute with me never to forget that in all our history we have been claiming superiority of our knowledge yet kept learning new things. Reality is as human beings we have been, are and would always be learning something new all the time. Yet interestingly every time we learn something new our brain produces new neurons, what does it really mean to you? To me it means even our potential is evolving so we can’t get a computer to predict our real potential.
THERE ARE NO LIMITS, BOUNDARIES OR NATURAL CAPS ON US ESPECIALLY FROM GOD. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU SOMEHOW ARE LIMITED TRY LOOKING AT THE CAUSES OF YOUR LIMITATIONS. YOU WILL FIND THAT THEY ARE ALL COMING FROM YOUR BELONGING GROUPS JUST TO KEEP YOU FROM BECOMING A QUESTIONING PEST. IN THE END OF THE DAY THEY ARE THERE FOR POLITICAL CONTROL ON GENERAL POPULATION. THINGS DON’T JUST STOP AT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OPPOSING GROUPS. THEY ARE EVEN WITHIN RELIGIONS AND NATIONS THEMSELVES AS SECTS AND POLITICAL PARTIES. BELONGING GROUPS MAY CLAIM THAT ITS ALL COMING FROM GOD, BUT LITERALLY THEY ARE USING GOD AND YOU BOTH FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
Growing up I observed that some people would go to tombs of the saints and some would preach against it all. Which made me question their SECTARIAN differences because they all call themselves Muslims. That is how I discovered that there are different sects of Islam.
Going to a tomb of a saint to be fed is a common thing in Pakistan, PEOPLE GO PRAY TO GOD AND TAKE AN OATH THAT IF I GET MY WISH COME TRUE I WILL FEED SO MANY PEOPLE. You can literally see crowds of people believing those saints to be Godly people and others denying it all, YET HUNGRY AND NEEDY GET HELPED BY THOSE WHO ARE CONVERTING SPIRITUALITY INTO PHYSICAL ACTIONS. Differences in our belief systems are not because of our metaphoric realities but vagueness of them. Whether you believe in the powers of dead saint or not. Literally is not the issue nor its believing in God and religion’s prophet. Its all about believing in known and unknown realities as truths, so how does it all work? Believing in it or not depends on those living breathing human beings, so whether you are receiving or giving you are the responsible one at least physically. NOW THE QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES YOU GIVE? IS IT THAT YOU ARE WORKING ALONE EXCLUSIVELY, OR YOU ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN PHYSICALLY BECAUSE GOD IS WORKING THROUGH YOU? What is the big fuss about these differences? What makes you think God or the saint are doing everything? What makes you think that what is being done by the people is wrong? Sure it looks like people are doing it, but is it that simple to you and why? Why can’t you figure that if your belonging group is against it, that is making you think its wrong meaning your judgement is not yours exclusively. If we all are able to come out of our political pigeon holes then and only then we will be able to see what is really going on. Instead of judging with belonging groups views why can’t we personally be curious to discover this spiritual phenomenon. Remember you can’t find God if you start digging into everything physically nor you can claim what is conveyed to you by your belonging group is unquestionable. In the end of the day we all will end up on the edge of the cliff of our faith. Not really knowing what is beyond it? Claiming to know that unknown without any assumptions is what is called blind faith. Sure that is useful but it is not all about its usefulness of beyond the cliff of faith, it is all about how you live during your living years. Meaning God has to be found spiritually during your living years so you can be beneficial to others and beneficiary of spirituality.
Since spirituality is just and is universal, there are no judgments, differences or who is right and wrong, it simply is spiritual. You stay focused on how human beings are giving physicality to spirituality. If hungry people are being fed because of others responsibility of reciprocation, why, where and how it is being done is and should be a matter of pride so be proud of being a human being instead of following the politically influenced right and wrong of your belonging groups. If you are under the influences of your belonging group make sure that your right and wrong is judged by your own spiritual and personal sense of justice. If thinking beyond belonging group’s education is a foreign story for you, think about yourself what are you? Are you a branch of your belonging group or are you a Godly created tree yourself? If you remove the judgements of your belonging group, you will be able to see the spirituality working in humanity regardless of its groups. Try removing all the politics if you can and see the beauty of God physically working through human individuals. Oh yes if you can’t see beyond the boundaries of your sects or religions remember to ask yourself why? Why can’t you see spirituality in physical actions as Godly act? If you don’t believe in God nor the saints still you owe the answers to yourself. Our groups have put boundaries around their belonging individuals by putting them in a pond like situation. Yet a Godly and spiritually aware individual is literally way beyond the ocean and space all put together. Sectarian or even amongst all religious differences our spirituality should prevail. So if you feel suffocated within the boundaries of your pond simply dig into yourself individually. If you believe wholeheartedly whatever your belonging group says, remember to think our potential holds unknown evolving potential. To discover ultimate truth of human existence, you have to evolve a little further to understand that how to separate politics of belonging and your spiritual realities. Know what a human being is, and what kind of potential they hold even at an individual level. Personally I believe we have no limits, boundaries and restrictions from God and nature that is why we have been evolving regardless of our political and religious restrictions.
If you can teach me something new I am open to learn as long as it benefits all humanity. If it is for some not for all, its political and I am for spirituality and justice to all equally. I believe in equal human rights and are against all kind of racism, prejudice, discrimination, group, nation or religion prioritization AND SECTARIAN DIFFERENCE, TO ME GOD IS WHERE EVER WE ALL ARE. If you are religious and believe in exclusivity, I would eventually question your spirituality and personal sense of justice. If you are political I would still question your spirituality but your politics of sense of belonging as well because being political your personal sense of justice gets compromised.
To me defining God, spirituality and justice is easy, if you are able to personally ask yourself these basic questions. Why spirituality is found in all human societies? Why it is found in humanity regardless of any particular religion or even no religion at all? And why do we still do to others what we don’t like done to us and to our loved ones? Simply politics of our sense of belonging to our groups would be the answer. Now can you personally overcome that if not why?
Spirituality is from God and is universally ingrained within all of us and it crosses over all boundaries of human groups. So learning to belong to humanity as a whole should come naturally and easily to all of us but reality is that is the most difficult to evolve from. Thousands of years of political brain washing had made an individual thinking about themselves as branch of their belonging groups instead of believing in being a tree what God had meant for us all. Powerful politics of our groups is a phenomena we still have to overcome, and as a branch we can’t think like a tree even if it is insulting to our creator. I am an optimist and think maybe one day we all will cross the lines of our political belonging and evolve enough to learn to belong where its meant to be from God.
Politics of belonging to our groups robs us from our individuality and makes us less than what we were suppose to be. That is why we gladly get used politically by our belonging groups. OUR RACISM, PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION AND RELATED ISSUES ALL COME FROM OUR INDIVIDUAL WEAKNESSES BECAUSE WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO FOLLOW WHAT OUR GROUPS PREACH TO US. We proudly do to others what we don’t like done to ourselves and to our loved ones because our politics of sense of belonging has robbed us from our individual and personal spirituality. We have lost our God given free will, personal sense of justice, compassion and love. We even have lost our self respect, self importance and self-esteem to harm ourselves spiritually because we are unable to put ourselves on the receiving end of our actions before we commit them. We have become spiritually bankrupt not only at individual level, we as groups, nations and religions have lost our souls all in the name of the politics of belonging to our groups.
We all individually and collectively can try to wash our spiritual crimes by accepting and resolving pending issues. Hundreds or even thousands of year later we acknowledge our wrong doing because the burdens are too heavy to carry on. That is if you are evolved enough to accept and understand the weight of spiritual burdens on your soul. Physically we may not acknowledge them because of the brain washing we have gone through especially in our tender years but as we grow and learn about individual responsibilities for our actions. That may help in understanding the reasons of our guilt and regrets. Simply ask any war veteran who is going through hard times even functioning in day to day life. Carrying those heavy burdens on the soul is no joke because of our mortal nature. Regardless of what a judging individual or our political leaders say mental health is a reality for those who become and are aware of the burdens they carry. Burdens of on going sufferings get heavier on our souls if not resolved. For instance if we talk about collective souls, Americans have been helping Japan after dropping two atomic bombs on them. Today Germans are standing in Israel’s corner in the Palestine issues. I personally believe, British should do the same thing to remove their spiritual burdens of collective soul and help resolving the pending issues like sufferings of Natives in Canada, Palestinians and people of Kashmir because their previous policies are still costing people their lives and all kind of sufferings. As an evolving humanity every innocent death and suffering adds to our spiritual crimes, so if we know our belonging group has and still is causing spiritual damage, we should speak against it. Its not only about the conflicting parties its about the conflict starters as well. A recent news of mass grave of children in Canada implicating Roman Catholic Church is a living example of what I am talking about.
Logically our individual and collective life has several different departments so if in one department you can use a long term strategy and gain something material. Is one thing but as human beings at individual level or collectively we got to look at our lives as a CEO. If there is a gain in one area and a loss in the other we should know and acknowledge that. Long term financial gain is encouraged by every human society but if it contributes in others sufferings it becomes a spiritual sin which may become a burden of the soul later as the humanity evolves and discovers the potential harms of certain strategies. What went on in Canadian society long time ago may have not been thought out long terms because generations later those actions have become a black mark on the face of a nation yet it came from the religious extreme. As less evolved human beings we have been conquering a robbing each other of their resources and love in the name of our belonging groups. That was past and it was an accepted truth of most races, nations and even religions. Today it has become a spiritual crime because this is an era where other than the extremists factions of populations. As an ordinary individual regardless of belonging to any particular group most are willing to give and receive equal human rights. Racism, gender inequality, prejudice and discrimination are becoming bad words of modern day humanity. So not going with this more evolved human advances is not kosher or cool anymore. Regardless of all these advances we still hear news of prejudice and discrimination related crimes. For instance an innocent Muslim family getting run over in the name of religious or other political extreme.
Past trends of sense of belonging had helped to turn nations into empires and they progressed materially in certain departments and suffered serious losses spiritually. Wheels of time may turn slower than our individual mortal life but looking back in the history of nations and religions. We can not only clearly see how time has created a rainbow colored blended humanity, yet at the same time we have a whole grave yard full of once majestic empires. Kingdoms have gone down, even a popular entities like communism have taken a fall. Our evolution has been changing things but on certain speed and as a mortal individual we may not be able to see the consequences of our collective spiritual sins but that does not mean there are no consequences for our atrocities. Not too long ago Canadian Prim Minister apologized Natives for the crimes committed against them, yet again there was a news for mass grave discovery. Now ask why would a modern day government would apologize for the sins of past. To me why it stops at Canadian government, why not British and Roman Catholic Church as well because they were the ones in power at the the time of crimes. As a decently evolved human individual and collectively as nations we should all look for what caused us to commit those crimes, if that was because of the politics of belonging to our groups then we should look at the politics of belonging as a culprit. Anything what creates individual or collective guilt, should be looked at as the cause. Interestingly we still can’t question the politics of belonging to our groups. Individually we can do it in our life time but collectively it may take hundreds or even thousands of years evolution to come to terms with our past. Sooner we acknowledge and learn about personal and collective spirituality the better because our individual burdens can rob our happiness and contentment. Bing robbed of happiness and contentment from an already mortal life is a very steep price to pay. If you are part of the nation or a religion taking part in committing spiritual crimes. Yet with pride, that is because you have sold your individual soul to the politics of sense of belonging to your group. Your individual ignorance may not let you feel burdens of the soul until you evolve but collectively your nation may have to apologize down the road because it could not handle those burdens anymore. If we individually are a tree ourselves we would become spiritually aware and ideally would stop taking part in spiritual crimes regardless of all the political preaching. One may not think about their individual strength but spiritual awareness has the power to reveal hidden political agendas of a belonging group. If we individually evolve, question and refuse to commit crimes in the name of political belonging. Things can change drastically. If Canadian government has to apologize for Catholic and British crimes, politics is still there so British should chip in that apology as well because they brought Catholic ideology to North America. Remember apologies are a sign of acknowledgement and if we acknowledge we may not let it happen again.
Logically life experiences have the power to form ones views of life and if you are unable or don’t question your views and their origination you simply can’t believe that your views are ultimately your own knowledge. If you become emotionally attached to your views and causes, it is your prerogative but if you let them rob your own happiness or take you to extreme and rob happiness of others, hurt or kill them. You may end up living with burdens of soul and with mortal nature those burdens can become hard to live with. Being mortals we all have to watch out from the things that can lead us to become non spiritual beings. As I said before a satisfied soul is a universal medicine for a mortal being so if you go against your personal atom of autonomy you are robing that satisfaction from your own soul to cause all sort of diseases to yourself as well.
If you like to save trees do so but don’t kill anyone over it. Sure you can protest over climate change but don’t cut your or someone else’s life short over it. Be all for group politics but don’t commit spiritual crimes for it and yes even if it is for your religious beliefs. Want to be liberated and ask for rights for an exclusive group do so but because of its political reasons don’t become prejudiced and discriminatory individual yourself so its best to ask for equal human individual rights instead. Especially don’t sacrifice your whole mortal life in discontentment and unhappiness just because you are promised a world or even a spot in heaven by your belonging groups.
Remember you simply can’t be happy or go to heaven just because you are a Muslim, Christian or belong to any other religion. If you really think that way that is because of your belonging group’s politics. As I said politics and spirituality don’t mix so making even God into prejudiced and discriminatory entity would be a spiritual crime. You are told to be a good person and don’t commit crimes so you could go to heaven. Yet interestingly in the same breath you are given contradicting messages like commit those same crimes against opposing groups so you can go to heaven so if you personally can’t see that it is on your personal shoulders. Things become tricky and murky when it comes to the politics of belonging to our groups. So becoming a CEO of your life can not only help you to see all the politics, it can give you the ability to over ride these political discrepancies. If you still ignore, think and believe God is that stupid and political, then you personally need some soul searching to do. Remember God did Godly job by blessing you with the free will and personal sense of justice so now its your job to understand that a crime is a crime regardless of who you commit against or for. Since that Godly job is done you have to take responsibilities of your actions. If you can’t see the politics in the messages, you got personal issues and the only way out for you is to think like a CEO. If following the politics of your belonging group is going to take you to heaven think again, before committing crimes in the name of your belonging group and especially if your group claims that those crimes are being committed for God so you will go to heaven. You should really think hard about the political side of your belief system separately because its you who will have to separate your spirituality from your politics. I personally believe that there is no way God is prejudicial, discriminatory and biased, so if you believe in all that you may have a rude awakening if you end up going to the vary place you were trying so hard to avoid. Whether its a hell of a life or a life of a hell after death that is all judged by the individual actions not the belonging. Always remember you don’t go to heaven or hell because of your belonging to any race, gender, color, gang, group, nation or a religion or their sects. Where you are and where you will be? It has always been, is and will always be dictated by the intentions of your actions and direct reciprocation with God, remember just like God spirituality is universal.
I can’t go any further without mentioning a video I saw. A mullah was teaching kids Qur’an, he was beating them up and badly, I believe that he himself was taught to believed in fear based philosophy. Which I believe should not be used on human beings because we are not just like the other animals. We carry our personal and exclusive atom of autonomy within as our individual and personal spiritual side or a God like ability to function physically and spiritually. Meaning we are able to self regulate. If we are considered as an animal it is not only a disrespect to our creator its a disrespect to us being a human being as well. How can we be teaching about compassion, justice and love by beating innocent children? Clearly its a fear based method of teaching and brain washing. It is mind boggling to me that especially if you install fear to teach about the opposing things like compassion, love and justice. I can see there is a disconnection here which is not only confusing for grown ups never mind little kids. First of all if you will learn in fearful environment you will not learn the real meanings of the knowledge second as soon as that fearful environment subsides you are going to discard that knowledge and third you would disrespect that knowledge because of its physical contradictions.
In my previous blogs I mentioned and talked about the crime rates of all nations, anyone can Google it. Nations made the top of the list were not even religious nations which I believe should be a wake up call for all religions. Remember they are the one who claim to be the contractors of God and spirituality. Logically their citizens should be better because they have been taught all about spiritual principles so they can practice that spirituality in their everyday life. Unfortunately they failed to show spiritual principles practical effects on society. If people know about spirituality but don’t practice to keep their crime rate lower, yet non religious societies are able to show that they follow the spiritual principles to actually show the results. Where things are going wrong? Why religious nations can’t show good results where it matters? Is it because of that Mullah who believed in forced education with swear beatings or its all because of learning but not practicing what you are preaching. Our conflicting messages come from politics not from spirituality. If you are teaching about Qur’an where you suppose to learn all about compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice, and love but practically you are showing kids who are your coming generations everything but all the above. Time is not very forgiving when it comes to bad actions of individual, nations and religions so we all should be able to ponder what our future holds.
Back to the forced knowledge especially if it is taught for people to become good and decent human beings. You may create people who can memorize it all but creating good and decent human beings takes personal sense of justice, ability to love and know how to be compassionate, and if you set fear in the foundation you can’t get the good results. Regardless of religious knowledge if your nation can’t produce decent individuals and lower crime rates. You simply have to go back to the drawing board to see where things are going wrong. To me a religion should be teaching spirituality exclusively because being spiritual brings you the results by producing decent and good human beings. As I said spirituality is universal and is from God. Our politically tainted religions have strayed from spirituality so they have lost their respect from the ordinary individual. People receive forced religious education in the early years of life but stop complying to it as they grow up knowing God is not showing up to stop them from committing crimes. Interestingly there is an other contradiction to mention here, religious people believe in that even a lief on the tree can’t move without God’s will and God is watching all the time, but if you see the violence in teachings and harsh punishments for social crimes clearly points towards that there is no room left for God and spirituality to be even relevant. To become a good, decent and spiritual human being we need individual awareness of spiritual principles and related self regulation. If a teacher who is an authority figure is teaching about good things like Holy book Qur’an and spirituality yet by physically beating kids, you are actually teaching them it is okay to beat someone in vulnerable and weak position. On top of that how can he be teaching about compassion, forgiveness, justice and love by practically showing them otherwise? If your teachings and your practical is not matching its conflicting so either you, yourself don’t know the meanings of what you are trying to teach or you don’t respect the real meanings of the knowledge you are teaching.
Just look at the first few things religions talk about and I repeat talk about but not necessarily practice like that Mullah. Top of the list should be compassion and love to make an ordinary individual into a decently evolve good human being and that is regardless of any religion or sect. Now look around and see what our religions have been practicing and what they have done for the humanity and individual so far. Sure there has been a lot of talk about compassion and love but are these good things really found in the real world of religions. For thousands of years we have been going through the bloodiest and passionate wars and extreme related prejudice, discrimination and a whole lot of spiritual crimes. They literally rob com out of the word compassion. Just look at our history. From Crusaders to German to Bosnia. To American Natives and Roman Catholics in Canad to Syria Israel and Palestine to India and Kashmir to Myanmar and Afghanistan to name a few if you seriously start to look at it you will find a lot more than a horror story never mind compassion and love. Simply dig in the history and try counting the death tole of our religious extreme related disputes and wars. Don’t forget it is still going on so to me, looking for the right number of killings can literally spin the modern day computer’s head, never mind yours. By merging our religions with the politics of belonging to our groups has done not only physical damage to humanity it robbed individual of faith in God and spirituality. This lethal mix has created distrust in our belief systems to cause us damage individually. Interestingly it has nothing to do with the spiritual side of our religions and God yet everything to do with the politics of our belonging to our groups. As an individual you can blame opposing or even your own group for all the wrongs but in reality it all boils down to you. You are the one who needs to be a tree and not a branch to figure real thing out. Easiest way to know that is to ask yourself individually why do we consider ourselves as a branch of a tree and nothing more than that. Yet our creator has created us a whole lot more than what we are lead to believe.
In real life, we don’t just leave material things to our off springs we pass our knowledge to them as well, so we not only individually but collectively should be careful what we pass on to our coming generations. Materially things happen automatically for instance one generation develops rail tracks, bridges, highways and high rises and leave it all behind. They all are designed to make coming generation’s life easier. From science, technology to medicine and everything in between has been, is, will constantly and always be evolving. That means we should give credit to our ancestors but if they have left us with some of their unresolved issues. We should try not to leave them to our coming generations because our technologies have been evolving. We can’t be just passing those on to our coming generations because they might use their modern day war weaponry on each other because their ancestors have left them with their disputes and wars as well.
If one generation thought teaching forcefully is a normal thing to do, does not mean coming generations should do the same thing. Remember we suppose to evolve and not to leave things behind to make our coming generation’s life difficult. People who think and care about coming generations maybe looked down politically but our spiritual side teaches us to become a decent individual. Yet unfortunately our political side stands in the way. Religions or not being useful to humanity comes naturally to human beings and is as spiritual as it can get. Not caring for others or thinking for coming generations is not only a sign of being less evolved it is down right selfish which goes against our spiritual side so we have been evolving from because of our spiritual nature.
BEING RELIGIOUS BUT NOT BEING SPIRITUAL IS NOTHING BUT POLITICAL, IF YOU EVOLVE FROM THAT YOU INDIVIDUALLY WOULD STEP INTO A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SPIRITUALITY, WHERE. As a human individual we physically shouldn’t feel that we are a burden on others. Spiritually and internally we should always feel satisfied and content by our personal efforts we put in our life. That is why personally we should learn all about reciprocation to pull our share TO COMPLETE THE CIRCLE OF OUR MORTAL LIFE. As babies we need help as we grow up we learn to help and as we get old we get help again until the cycle is complete for us individually. Trouble is when we are born in certain group we have to adopt their political establishment related rules so if our groups preach prejudice and discrimination against others we become a soldier of our belonging groups and sometimes lose our spiritual justice against politics of belonging. If that happens and we commit spiritual crimes for our belonging groups we end up against our atom of autonomy and lose ourselves. If we personally are not satisfied from ourselves, we simply look down at ourselves. TO ME THIS, PERSONALLY LOOKING DOWN AT SELF IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTAND OUR PROBLEMS RELATED TO PERSONAL AND SPIRITUAL DISCONNECTION. THAT IS WHERE OUR LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM STEMS AND COMES FROM. THIS IS WHERE NATIONS AND RELIGIONS GOT TAINTED WITH POLITICS OF BELONGING AND BECAME POLITICAL ENTITIES. THEY INTENTIONALLY DISCOURAGED AND DESTROYED THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF THEIR BELONGING INDIVIDUAL SO THEY CAN HAVE POWER AND CONTROL OVER THEM TO USE THEM FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. THEY PREACHED GROUP, GOD AND DEVIL AS POWERFUL AND HUMAN INDIVIDUAL AS UNNECESSARY, UNIMPORTANT, IRRELEVANT AND USELESS YET IN REALITY THINGS DON’T WORK AT ALL IF THE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL IS NOT THERE. Especially if you are a conqueror nation you would try to hit the conquered nation where it hurts. If you can make the opposing nation’s individual weak that nation can’t fight back so its a political strategy USED BY FOES AND FRIENDS SIMULTANEOUSLY. If individually we are not aware or not strong enough and literally believe in our uselessness we are an easy pray to be used as less evolved fellow creatures like warrior ants and worker bees. That’s why our communities should pay attention to strengthen their individuals even if it creates a constantly questioning and nagging population. Remember our essence, strength, life and blood is our individual.
By looking at our nature even as an individual we are like a tree with all its roots, branches and everything what is required to be an independently functioning entity. If somehow our self worth, self respect and self-esteem has been robbed, we will end up believing that personally we are irrelevant and unimportant. When we wholeheartedly believe that our groups are everything to us and we reduce ourselves to a mare branch. If you believe that you are irrelevant and useless without your belonging group, your rights and wrongs are not yours exclusively anymore, they are the property of your belonging groups. Yet from your creator you have been created as a tree yourself. Believing, fighting and blaming others to be wrong without judging where your judgments are coming from is an individual insufficiency. If you can’t use your God given free will and personal sense of justice you are not a CEO or a tree anymore. If you yourself are believing that you are just a branch regardless of your claims of being a free entity. You are disrespecting your creator because you are not appreciating what you have been created as. Remember gratitude is your food for the soul and a satisfied soul is a universal medicine especially for mortal beings like humans. So if you are suffering from any kind of ills look at yourself as a tree to heal yourself, and yes even if takes for you to question the source of your irrelevance.
Lets look at it this way, say you have or want a pet cat, dog or a parrot does not really matter but for whatever reason if you prefer certain breed, that should be and is your choice. Now imagine you just like that specific breed and hate all others to the point that you want them all killed or exterminated. Now take a step further and see if those cats, dogs and parrots have that kind of intolerance ingrained within them. If they think their breed exclusively should live and others should be eliminated or exterminated. Wouldn’t you find that strange and absurd? Well as human beings we have been and are still doing that. We even kill our own kind in our own groups just because of the way people look, think and believe. I am not trying to throw stones at someone’s glass houses of racism, nationalism and religions. I am stating the facts with examples and pointing towards our intolerance related to our politics of sense of belonging. From our group politics and its related extreme and extreme related prejudice, discrimination, civil and spiritual crimes. Just look at the most recent example of a Muslim family being killed in Canada.
Never to forget that as human individuals we all come with our own exclusive atom of autonomy, related free will, compassion, love and personal sense of justice that make us all exclusively responsible for our own actions. That means there are no excuses for us to say that I am compelled by the loyalties to my race, gender, nation or religion. If you still feel that way you can’t think beyond the politics of your belonging group, meaning you need learn to be a tree or a CEO to be what you have been created as. Politics or not you need to critically look at yourself because you are undermining yourself as a free will holding human being .
Our prejudice and discrimination has nothing to do with God or our individual spiritual side and yes even if our religions call for it, we need to over ride it individually. Our prejudice and discrimination simply are related to your politically installed insecurities, those insecurities have been and are still being installed within you by your belonging groups. Sure politics has its place in our individual life but as a department only which is run by us as a CEO. Simply you can’t become a CEO of your life if you let your politics of belonging run your whole life. If other people or belonging group is running your life you are not being what God had created you as. Especially if you are willing to commit spiritual crimes in the name of your belonging groups you need to learn to separate your politics from your spirituality. If you act as a puppet of your belonging group, you are not doing the justice to being a human being because as human beings we are the whole tree not a branch of a group of people. You suppose to be a God like entity who knows the differences between good and bad. You suppose to imagine putting yourself on the receiving end of your actions before committing them against others. If your belonging group has the ability to use you as an animal, you should be able to refer to your spiritual side before acting on what you are required to do. Regardless of your reasons its clearly a disrespect to your creator because you have been equipped with your own and personal spiritual side. If you can’t use your free will, personal sense of justice, compassion and ability to love because of hormonal responses inspired by your political belonging, you need to evolve a little further to see that its a disrespect to be called an animal who responses with hormonal whims.
No matter where we live our differences of opinions separate us but our troubles never come from who is right or wrong because our rights and wrongs evolve to merge and even swap places as the times change. Our troubles are always related to the politics of belonging to our groups. That fuels the fire, of us being right and others being wrong. What others would think of us within our belonging group is related with our over whelming sense of belonging. So our prejudice, discrimination, racism, ego, pride and honor all are stemming from the same branch of human individual. Now remember I said a branch of human being not the human being as a whole. If you consider human is a branch of a tree not a tree themselves, just look within yourself and you will discover your boundlessness which can give you self respect what you need.
We all grow up in different societies according to their traditions so if others seem wrong to you try removing the political influences of your sense of belonging before judging. If others are politically influenced just like you, they are born into that as well so to them they are right. Now if you both think others are wrong who is right? You both are wrong because you both are acting under your political influences and are acting as branches of the belonging groups instead of trees yourself. When you are under the influences, you are unable to judge the power of your political influences of belonging. Remember I said we are an evolving entities so if you are still in the process of evolution, and are under political influences, how can you claim that you are 100% right and others are absolutely wrong?.
Human life depends on and revolves around love; we strive for it, and try to protect it all cost. The biggest reason for worries and stress along with food and survival is the loss of love. When children are out of sight, parents not only worry about their well-being; they fear about their own love loss as well. To me that is the reason why our politics of sense of belonging is so powerful.
Since everyone feels and knows about the pain of love loss, historically opposing groups try to get at each other where it hurts. Killing each other’s belonging individuals is an on going process along with the causes of prejudiced related hatred. Interestingly that is regardless of the level of our individual education, group civilization and evolution. To make is easier to understand this, I came up with this love triangle. I have written about it in the past but it seems fitting to rewrite because of the present day news.Urge to kill innocent people because of political influences is not and should not be related to human entity because individually we all have the ability to function as a spiritual entity.
The love triangle…
This raw core is the one where human individual is equally divided with the potential to be good or bad. So all people surrounding the individual have to be responsible for the young to understand love because if you are nurtured with love or robbed of love would set the foundation of how you would act as a grown up. If your primary education is based on fear, no offense to the Mullah or the Priests of Roman Catholics religion. Its you who has given a bad name to spiritual religions by treating human individuals as animals. Telling them they are irrelevant and useless and even born sinners to rob their self-esteem.
Since as human beings we are in a different class of entities, we actually are able to self regulate if we are taught and nurtured with love deep into our core. If you install fear based and forced education with contradicting actions, for the individual to be a good person. That did not bring any fruitful results to you because if it was true secular nations should not have beaten you in the lower crime rate societies. To me personally it should be a shame for religious societies if they can’t produce self regulating individuals. If your social crime rate has nothing to show, you have been following a wrong way to educate human beings. You have not only created distrust in this personal love triangle of the individual, you have failed measurably as a spiritual and governing system simultaneously. As you can see your popularity has been declining and you are being penalized for your spiritual sins you have committed in the name of the politics of sense of belonging. Discovery of mass grave or sexual abuse are not small crimes so belonging families, communities, nations and religions should look at the causes of the real problems. We all should know our spiritual responsibilities, especially if you are trying to teach things about God and spirituality. Our families, communities, nations and religions are just as responsible for individual’s bad behavior as the individual committing bad acts would be.
Harsh punishments may tame people with fear but as human beings we bring along our personal potential to be good from before birth so we need education based on love. As I wrote in other blog that if you look at the crime rate in the nations where they have harsh punishments is not lower than the ones where they are not as strict. If it is not the harsh punishments then what would be the reason to have lower crime rate? Common sense says that love triangle make sense. If we all are responsible and play a role in raising good and bad people then we all should take initiative to be responsible as well. Starting with the Mullahs and Priests to actually teach what is preached in holy books with personal touch, if your holy books preach violence against innocent children why can’t you preach compassion and love that has been taught in the books. If love and compassion is not in the foundation of your spiritual education, you are under the influence of politics of control which has nothing to do with spirituality God and evolving human nature. If the politics of control is standing in the way of your evolution, make sure to think and picture yourself on the receiving end of your actions and do the justice, which should be the main pillar of religions because they talk about spirituality.
Back to love triangle, this animal core is where one can decide to choose and this is where we are highly influenced by the love we received or don’t. Love, whether it’s universal, passionate or instinctive, love is what makes us stand in a class of our own. If we are work horses of God almighty yet directly as an individual. A middle man is needed to help us understand more not to be used politically.
As humans we have been blessed with our personal and individual atom of autonomy related free will, which makes us personally responsible for our own actions. How our life should be lived, and whether we are focusing on finance, love, health or any other areas of our mortal life equally or not is and should be our personal duty. Making a decision for anything in the future, such as going to school for a better job or sacrificing your life in the army, is first and foremost dependent on the individual to use their God given free will. Our actions and reactions are personal and individual decisions, regardless of our emotional pressures. In a court of law you just can’t say “Since my God, Mullah or a Priest told me to kill, I should not be charged for the crime,”. Regardless of the demands of sense of belonging individual is still responsible for their actions.
To explain that I have a little example for you metaphorically each and every one of us comes with their own musical sheet where you yourself are a note and the empty space between the notes is God. If it’s your turn to speak, you speak, and when you are required to stay quiet, you stay quiet. In order to create a good harmonious melody out of your life, you have to follow this rhythmic system for your personal and individual life. Your input is to convert spirituality into physical actions, if you don’t take that responsibility you are literally holding a blank sheet which means you are not doing the job you have been created for. First of all you would halt the process of evolution, second, It tears up the whole spiritual picture God had created for human beings.
On the other hand if you choose to grab a drum and beat the hell out of it for few hours without any break or giving those empty spaces a chance to create a rhythmic melody, you will become exhausted, stressed and go crazy. Likewise, if you say everything is done by God and do not speak even if it is your turn or believe like monks. By not taking responsibility of human progresses and disrespecting our evolving nature can have consequences of keeping humanity from evolving yet that was the duty to begin with. So either extreme is wrong and works against the individual and God simultaneously. That is why I believe that human beings are the work horses of God. We have to save lives and reproduce so God can carry on with Godly spiritual tasks, exist to fulfill people’s prayers. To me human being is the third equation in the triangle of God and the Devil. We judge good and the bad because we are the one who experience it all physically. If man is not there to judge, good and bad both lose their importance or disappear altogether. As human beings it is our job to understand our importance in the larger scheme of life and live our life with justice to all others around including self.
Doing justice is our individual responsibility which can be challenged at times so having a little deeper understanding is in order. There comes time when all three corner of love triangle start to compete; it can tear the individual apart unless we learn to become a CEO of our lives. You can’t just choose your society over your loved ones, or your lover over your children or family or society, if you do you are not being a CEO and have no understanding of what love is all about.
Learn to balance all the corners of your love triangle to be spiritually healthy…
Simply you can’t just disregard your kids whom are your instinctive love, if you find a new passionate love. You can’t just live your life for the community and disregard your family or vice versa. Balancing is not easy especially when you are brought up with the strong sense of belonging to your belonging group. Remember as an individual you are created as a tree with your own free will and personal sense of justice so its your job to make the right and just decisions instead of thinking like a branch.
Our evolutionary knowledge is our jewelry and we all should be wearing it with pride. We should be proud of our accomplishments, but the fact is that they all depend on the existence of our balanced core with love. Logically you can’t feel anything physically if you are not alive. Nothing can be felt, enjoyed, or reacted upon without the physical bodies. Spiritually our belonging religions may have certain visions of after life but we as groups don’t agree upon those visions. So it all depends on the individual to keep the balance between living years and disputed belief systems or metaphoric realities. We have acquired our spiritual jewelry with a long journey of evolution so we can achieve some kind of happiness and contentment along the way regardless of our awareness of our mortality. Sometimes this loss comes from natural causes, accidents, or war-related circumstances and they all have the potential to strip human beings from these Godly gifts. We may end up in our dark pit, where the negative and evil reactions arise from. This pit is our animal side where we are naked of spiritual jewelry of love and have the potential to be fearless and potentially barbaric beings, even if we are born and raised as a gentle soul.
I usually talk about the triangle philosophy because I believe everything should be in balance; if love is out of balance, that can makes human being to commit spiritual crimes. A child robbed of love in his early years may grow up with issues and end up becoming a criminal or unfit to have healthy, loving relationships later in life. When universal love is out of control, some people are willing to kill their own children. The example here is honor, ego, and pride related killings. There has even been a documentary about a Sikh family who got their own daughter killed because she married someone who they disapproved of. Passionate love has the potential to destroy instinctive and universal love as well and instinctive love can do the same thing to passionate love. There was an American girl who drowned her two sons because her boyfriend did not want children, she is still in jail. When kids come along, some couples can’t balance their love triangle because instinctive love over rides passionate love and they may end up splitting.
When couples break up, they feel the loss of passionate love, but if kids are involved the loss is twofold for the losing partner, because you are not only losing passionate love you are losing instinctive love as well so the potential for social and spiritual crimes increases. What would we do without love? If we are capable of committing spiritual crimes in spite of love? Wars often rob all kinds of love which can evolve to all sorts of war crimes and human rights violations. In my opinion, the cause of our terrorism and heavy-handed revenge bombing is the stripping of love, which turns the individual into a loveless raging revengeful animal. If it is not looked at that way we may keep producing love loss related crimes and would never be able to stop revenge related killings.
Lack of our understanding is responsible for these perpetual spiritual crimes. We know a lot more about other creatures but still we can’t figure out how to deal with our own kind. Our disputes and wars all over the world are a clear signs of this misunderstanding or undermining of balanced love triangle. We use propaganda and politics to put each other down, make others as Godless and blame about the atrocities but forget that we are all human beings reacting to love loss. We use God and religions in the name of politics, yet there is nothing clear about our past and future, which I mean before birth and after death. Other than those assumptions we have made along the way. With our evolving and constantly changing knowledge we simply can’t be stubbornly sticking to them.
For millions of years we have been around, and for thousands of years God has been in our lives. Where did we come from? Science and religions both don’t provide more than assumptions. Religions say we are around for five thousands years and science says we have been around for millions of years. Religions say God created universe and science says there was a marble which exploded and is constantly expanding. Where did the marble come from or why it exploded is not clear because it happened billions of years ago. You can believe whatever you want to because it is your personal prerogative but my problem is why are you prejudiced and discriminatory against each other and why do you still kill each other over those assumptions?.
Whether chicken or the egg came first, God created human or human created God is not as important as the chicken, which lays the eggs and feeds human beings. Or the human individual who is doing all the Godly work is the most important part of that holy or scientific picture yet our politics to kill each other is still rampant. What came first has never been clear nor is it important but we have always and are still looking for evolution theories. Still the world would argue about it because of the different schools of thought. I am not going to dig into the past or the science to create argumentative assumptions just to find out how and what happened just to solve nothing. I am going to stay in the present and see what is happening right now. My question is, why are we still killing each other regardless of the level of our evolution and civilization?
USING COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME, SO I AM GOING TO FOLLOW THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT OTHERS THINK. WHAT IS AND HOW IT SHOULD BE? IF IT MAKES SENSE TO ME I WOULD FOLLOW IF NOT AND IS NOT IMPORTANT I STICK WITH MY OWN OPINIONS TO LIVE MY PERSONAL MORTAL LIFE USING EVERYTHING WHAT GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH. I PERSONALLY DON’T LIKE TO BE IN A POND BECAUSE I BELIEVE WE ARE CREATED AS BOUNDLESS SO WE LITERALLY CAN’T BE CONTAINED IN PONDS, I BELIEVE AND PREACH TO EVOLVE FROM YOUR PONDS AND BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS. LIVE AS A LEGITIMATE THIRD EQUATION INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING ILLEGITIMATE BOUNDARIES OF IDEOLOGIES. THEY MAKE YOU A SUBSERVIENT TO THE PHILOSOPHIES KEEPING YOU FROM REACHING THE HEIGHTS OF YOUR EVOLVING POTENTIAL WHERE YOU BELONG. TODAY EVERYONE IS CONNECTED TO INTERNET, SO METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING LIVING IN A POND WITH THE BOUNDARIES WOULD BE LIKE USING A COMPUTER WITHOUT HAVING A CONNECTION TO INTERNET STILL FUNCTIONING BUT AT VERY LOW LEVEL.
Don’t just follow whatever your belonging group is calling for: question the political motives and make your choices as an independent entity who has free will to explore not only scientifically but religiously and politically as well. Remember that using free will is a privilege to seek equal human individual rights. Our spiritual justice has been and usually takes a back seat when it comes to our politically installed individual insecurities. Since there is no ultimate security for the mortal, we should put and keep everything in perspective. Living with justice to all including yourself brings inner peace to us all individually so theoretically it should help us to create peace within to help in achieving universal peace as well.
Here, another triangle which has been flipped and needs to be put right-side up:
If you have and use your free will, you are and should be on the top corner of the triangle to create balance so remember it’s you who can make it right side up as well.
Politics and individual insecurities created by it, are the fundamental causes of individual’s internal turmoil or even social chaos of the society. If you believe that you are nothing more than an extension of an ideology, a branch of a tree or a belonging group. You are the victim of your personal and internal imbalances. To me they are individual human flaw—not an asset. The real assets are the ability to think independently, use free will, and do justice to all, including yourself. No mater how you cut it I believe human is on top corner of these senses, not on the bottom. If you feel that you are happy being opinion-less, just look at yourself with a microscope viewpoint; you will find out a lot more about yourself. You would not hesitate to kill an innocent individual for your belonging group, become anorexic or commit suicide over how people view you. Always remember you are given free will for a reason; if God created human, human was intended to evolve to be a Godly figure not to stand in the line up of other creatures.
Human fell to the bottom because of the personal insecurities, they compel us to hide behind and cover up the naked politics of sense of belonging, dressed and disguised in nationalism and religions. I believe human has to get their real status back—and yes, we all are the CEO of our life.
No matter which way you cut it logically, human has to be on the top corner; even if our nations and religions believe otherwise. Its not egotistic or disrespectful of our belonging groups at all. It is kind of twisted logic that all religions have strict rules and punishments yet if they really believed that God was doing everything, they would be a lot compassionate towards human individuals be more forgiving and give human individual a break. On the other side our court systems would be meaningless if God was to be credited or blamed for everything a human individual does.
Every invention and social change starts with an idea from a single human individual as we progress and evolve to adopt to the changes faced by us in society we learn nothing but the importance of human individual. For instance, the start of a religion, or an ism like socialism or communism, or even democracy. There is a reaction to everything; if one religion works for some it does not necessarily work for others, so the need for new ideologies even within the same religions, like sects are almost always present in every part of the human history. From communism to socialism to sects of religions to the completely opposite atheism, we see clear signs of progress yet with constant conflicts. We as human beings follow the progress whether it’s a slow change or a rapid one; we naturally follow the progress regardless of the speed. We are in the pursuit of our potential regardless of the era we are born in. Human opinion has, is, and will always be on a shaky grounds because of our constantly evolving knowledge.
We make mistakes, correct them and keep going just to find out our corrections need corrections. From our medicine to social rules and everything in between has been, is, and will always be changing because we are influenced by God to evolve. Since our knowledge always evolves, we can’t have passionate extremes in our journey of evolution. We are all born as human first so we have to belong to humanity first yet as a whole.
All groups of human beings, whether we look at race, gender, nation, or religion, are political entities. Religions may claim otherwise but find me a religion which is pure of the politics of belonging. To me they should stay and stick with spirituality which always was and is in the foundation to serve humanity as a whole. When religions enter into politics or when an individual mixes them together, it becomes a lethal mixture which, not only disrupts inner peace of the individual, it is the cause of our war mongering tendencies as well. The emotionally-charged individual thinks and really feels that they are doing God’s work yet by committing spiritual crimes.
The real fire under all the religious differences is not God nor its spirituality or the way of living itself, it is the politics of sense of belonging. This sense of belonging is intertwined between the individual and the belonging groups and God and spirituality has nothing to do with it. Since the group is not going to stray from their politics, it is up to the individual to make the difference. If you use free will to make decisions, you have the potential to be a CEO of your life (which makes all of us without the question). A CEO can choose not to follow the politics of the belonging group or follow the status quo without questioning. Western societies are a good example, where everyone can have their religious beliefs with differences. Still be able to live in harmony and follow the law of the land yet still at times become victims of the political extreme just like this recent incident of Muslim family got killed by a young man who’s judgement was influenced by the politics of belonging. The foundation of this harmonious living is the constitutions written on the bases of equal human individual rights. That allows people to live together regardless of religion, race, or background.
The understanding of sense of belonging and sense of freedom to counter our political influences is crucial, especially in this day and age with the existence of our weapons of mass destruction. Political elites, nations, and religions may not or would not want to settle their differences, because that is what keeps them in power as groups. Our history shows that we have conquered each other, bought and sold, killed, exterminated, and treated each other inhumanly. If we honestly look at our past we will all be able to see the black marks of wrongdoing of our ancestors, so it is time to forgive and forget the ancestors because they did the best according to the best of their knowledge or with whatever they had learned from their ancestors. Today the world is rapidly changing and is connected with internet so the individuals can connect with each other from all over the world regardless of the belonging.
Balance the triangles of sense of belonging and love, and you will find inner peace for yourself and will be able to spread the same to others in the world. If the individual to individual connection happens, it will be a start of the change from the bottom up. The top down philosophy has not worked in thousands of years and it would not work in the next thousand year. Especially in the presence of the politics of sense of belonging to our groups. Things would stay the same but if we connect and belong to humanity as a whole that can change everything. As individuals we would have to take that next leap of faith and join our hands together to join humanity as a whole. Sticking with our color, race, gender nation or religion has been and still is prejudicial, discriminatory and against equal human individual rights. Don’t forget they have created a horrible picture of humanity so its time to bring this all at the individual level but with the strength of a CEO.
In the past, our governing systems have been constructed from the top down. It’s time for real democracy, regardless of its imperfections. Each and every one of us is blessed to be able to make choices and we are all born CEOs of our own lives. Politics of our sense of belonging keeps us enslaves to our belonging groups because we have been brain washed with not only the knowledge of political belonging but systematically robbing us from our self worth related to our atom of autonomy. It’s time to belong to the whole of humanity, respect and understand the pain of love loss not only for self but for the others as well, it’s time to bring humanity to evolve to the next level, so we can’t kill each other in the name of God or even our nations. These days especially in American politics people are willing to sacrifice democracy over the politics of belonging to a political party. When families don’t agree with each other their love should override everything but the if you are unable to divide your love triangle properly you may suffer the consequences. It is crucial for the individual to understand how love triangle is not limited to passionate love where an individual is torn apart between two partners, nor it should give all the power to universal love to let it rob our instinctive and passionate love. Remember we all created as the whole tree not a branch, we are CEOs of our lives so we call the shots to create personal balances…
