INTERNAL CLASH AND TRUTH BASED HUMAN REALITY.
August 31, 2023 by dancingbottle
If we all come into life with our own exclusive atom of autonomy—a divine particle that allows us to exercise free will and personal sense of justice—this brings with it significant responsibilities. Life can be likened to renting a room in a multipurpose building. If an individual believes that God and the Devil are responsible for all good and bad events, they are effectively acknowledging their own irrelevance. Believing that our free will and sense of justice are secondary to the actions of divine or demonic entities is logically flawed. If we think of ourselves as irrelevant, we might blame the Devil for our wrongdoings and credit God for our successes. I want to emphasize again the importance of recognizing our atom of autonomy and its connection to free will and personal justice.
Deep down, we are aware of our own wrongdoing. If you disagree, consider that many religions claim God knows everything, including our deepest secrets. It seems as though we are spies for God, revealing our inner truths. If we offload our personal responsibilities onto God, the Devil, or our groups, we are essentially admitting that we are nothing more than political puppets. Regardless of the era in which we live, the politics of belonging often lead us to exonerate ourselves while still being backed by our groups. This oversimplifies the complex reality of being human, especially if we start to believe that we are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. As the song says, “all we are is dust in the wind.” However, I find this perspective contrary to my understanding. Humans are those who convert spiritual thoughts into physical actions, making them meaningful and relevant.
Critically examining our atom of autonomy reveals that we possess free will and a personal sense of justice. As individuals, we cannot blame the Devil for our choices, wrongdoings, or actions, nor can we credit God solely for our personal actions. If you are hiding behind God or the Devil, you might be politically brainwashed. When you believe in your own irrelevance, your group has succeeded in controlling you. This leads to a loss of self-respect and self-esteem, making you vulnerable to seeking political shelter and attachments for security, potentially leading to spiritual crimes committed in the name of your group.
Similarly, if you start to blame or credit a group of people for your individual actions, you are openly accepting that you are nothing more than a political puppet. Remember, your race, gender, nation, or religion are secondary identities; your primary identity is that of a human being—a CEO who holds an atom of autonomy. This exclusive atom of autonomy allows you to exercise free will and personal justice, placing significant responsibilities on your shoulders. It is illogical to believe that your group is responsible for everything. They rely on your physical presence to be relevant. If you claim that your group, nation, or religion is more important than you, you are indirectly admitting your own irrelevance, even though you hold the key to physical action. Without your physical involvement, your group cannot achieve its goals or maintain relevance. Just as no gun can fire or bomb explode without human action, political groups exploit individuals who believe in their own irrelevance. Hence, these groups will continuously try to maintain this belief.
What if an individual becomes the CEO of their own life, seeing through the political manipulation hidden behind group demands and preachings? What if they learn to say no to the politics of belonging? That is when a true human being emerges—someone who acknowledges their God-given atom of autonomy and takes responsibility for their actions. This individual exercises their free will and personal sense of justice. They are the main actor in making things happen physically. This atom of autonomy is unique to the individual, not to groups, nations, or religions, which rely on corrupted individuals to carry out their agendas. Ultimately, responsibility rests on the individual’s shoulders. Our actions give physical form to good and bad, making them meaningful. While natural disasters may seem beyond human control and might be attributed to God’s will, their causes are still being discovered. For now, they should be considered metaphorical realities.
In our daily lives, it is essential to understand our individual responsibilities and to evolve. Blaming or crediting groups for everything physical is as misguided as denying our humanity. If you recognize your atom of autonomy, you cannot hide behind political groups, as it is your physicality that empowers them. Personal insecurities and related actions can be destructive, not only to others but also to yourself. Thus, clinging to your group and accepting your irrelevance can lead to personal and individual problems. You cannot escape your real identity; being a human places you at the center of creating good and bad outcomes by choice. Without physical action, nothing matters, as everything becomes impotent and meaningless. Just as God remains suspended in the air without human actions to manifest spirituality, the same applies to us. If humans are removed from the holy picture, would God still matter or be respected? As I’ve said, “spirituality and physicality are intertwined; our spiritual light does not illuminate our path unless it is physically manifested.” “If there is no light in my nights, I see darkness on the other side as well.” Therefore, it is crucial for us to recognize the relevance of individual physicality, both by our groups, nations, and religions, and by ourselves.
Regardless of group, individual, race, gender, nation, or religion, we must all acknowledge the relevance of the individual human being. Our archaic political systems need to adapt to the modern demands of humanity, as it is the individual who holds the card of physicality. Without physical action, spirituality is meaningless. It’s like thinking about something but never acting on it; you simply can’t claim you’ve done a good job. If we had been evolving according to the demands of humanity, we would now be focused on equal human rights for all. Unfortunately, we have been mired in group politics since the dawn of political awareness. However, we are genetically programmed to evolve, so there is hope—unless we destroy ourselves with modern weaponry. Since that destruction requires a human individual to push the button, we should recognize the importance of our physical nature. If each of us takes personal responsibility for our actions, we might see a change. We could stop harming one another and reject the politics of belonging and personal irrelevance.
Empowering individuals to assume responsibility as the CEOs of their own lives is crucial for understanding what is at stake. If we take responsibility for our physicality, we can better grasp the concept of relevance. Since nothing has changed from the top down in thousands of years, it might be time to consider change from the bottom up. Transforming from the bottom up will not only restore individual self-respect but also enhance self-esteem. An esteemed CEO can easily reject injustice, regardless of its source. Becoming a CEO comes with responsibilities, meaning you cannot blame the building you are renting or visiting, nor can you blame your political groups, nations, or religious beliefs. This is because you are the one who holds your atom of autonomy. You may hide behind your belonging groups due to personal insecurities, but responsibility still rests on your shoulders. While your groups may exonerate you from your physical actions and encourage pride in spiritual sins and crimes against humanity, you cannot escape your atom of autonomy. It constantly reminds you of your free will and personal sense of justice.
Need proof? Look at veterans struggling with daily life after returning from war. What causes their grief and pain? Even if their actions were for their group, nation, or religion, their atom of autonomy, or spiritual side, still holds them personally responsible. Going against this inner truth can lead to feelings of being torn apart from within—a clear sign of the presence of our atom of autonomy.
Let’s delve deeper into the modern human experience. If you are driven, illogical, or unstable, you will find many others following the same path. Modern humans differ significantly from those a century ago; we fear losing control and confront the vulnerabilities of being human. We strive to control even the uncontrollable, unlike our ancestors, who accepted their vulnerabilities and believed everything was God’s will. Today, we question much more and tolerate less. We are driven to climb higher but often forget our mortal nature.
Ignoring our mortality as a factual and physical reality can lead to an imbalanced life. For instance, if you are on vacation, you wouldn’t buy new furniture to redecorate your rented room. We struggle to tolerate anything that doesn’t add up to basic truths. While balance is important, our mortal nature presents greater challenges. If you spend all night searching for a missing penny, stress and health issues are likely. Since we carry more responsibilities than we are taught, we need to become effective CEOs of our lives to put things in perspective.
Becoming the CEO of our lives while we are living is essential for creating balance. Understanding reciprocation is the second key to successful relationships, not only with others but with God and ourselves. God has granted free will equally to all, so if you are not using it, consider this. Especially if you feel stuck in a life dictated by your group or focused solely on life after death, it is you who must question your personal freedom and sense of justice.
I believe that honest reciprocation is crucial for addressing many individual health problems, beyond just the physical aspect. Communities, nations, and religions often want us to live for the group or God exclusively. Some preach heaven and hell as incentives or deterrents, while others speak of reincarnation. Along with hope, fear and greed are also instilled. Despite deep belief in these teachings, the fear of death persists. Why? It’s because these beliefs are often passed down without questioning. While hope can be valuable, knowledge about life beyond our years remains metaphorical. Our metaphorical understanding has not evolved scientifically, and no definitive proof exists beyond hope and optimism. Preachers offer little beyond what has been traditionally accepted, often reacting with anger when questioned. They do not return to show evidence of life after death or provide physical proof of their claims.
Our religious preachers demand belief in their teachings without question. Aside from man-made religious stories, they provide no further proof. If you genuinely believe in these teachings, you might experience placebo effects or benefits from meditation. Unfortunately, you might also become susceptible to imagination-based realities. Scientists may not confirm the legitimacy of placebo effects or meditative visions, so anything unprovable physically or scientifically should be considered metaphorical. The question is whether we should continue killing each other over differing opinions about metaphorical realities. We have been taught about judgment day, heaven, hell, and portraying God as a monster-like entity. Despite thousands of years of scientific progress, no physical proof has been provided. Whether life exists after death is not my argument, as I compartmentalize physical and metaphorical realities. My concern is why we kill each other over metaphorical knowledge. While we are encouraged to be good and evolved humans, arguing about life beyond faith has led us to treat individuals as animals through a carrot-and-stick philosophy. This approach has backfired.
Understanding mortality is not harmful; rather, it is beneficial for us as individuals, especially if we face life’s truth-based realities head-on. Accepting the harms and benefits of truth-based realities is often preached but remains highly personal, so the sooner we come to terms with it, the better. By living with truth-based strategies, you can reduce daily and unnecessary stress. This means you might be able to create your own solutions to combat problems from within. Today, we are scientifically linking physical diseases to stress. Even if the connections to mental, emotional, and spiritual disorders are not yet scientifically proven, they may be one day. Therefore, being spiritually healthy means believing in nothing but the truth, at least for yourself. This includes becoming aware of personal spiritual principles, such as equal human rights and belonging to humanity rather than to race, gender, nation, religion, or other groups.
While physically, a human being is born into and belongs to a group, spiritually, if we pass the genetic test, each of us belongs to humanity, not to a political group. To discover your truth-based realities, ask yourself the following questions with honesty and without political bias:
Are you born to human parents?
Do you carry your own atom of autonomy, allowing you to use your free will and personal sense of justice?
Do you have a personal sense of justice?
If your community, race, gender, nation, or religion wanted you to kill for them, would you? Why or why not?
When called upon, can you balance your sense of belonging with your sense of freedom?
Do you believe in God and the Devil? If so, where do you stand on free will and your personal sense of justice?
If you have social needs, hormonal influences, and political pressures, yet you possess a unique atom of autonomy to override these influences and instincts, would you join in harming others simply because they belong to a different group?
I don’t agree or disagree with the knowledge provided because of its political biases. Unless the results speak for themselves, I will question it. For thousands of years, religious texts like the Bible and the Quran have preached that we should be good and morally evolved individuals. Show me the results. Crime rates indicate that people in religious societies are not necessarily adhering to their holy books. Google it, and you will find that religious societies often fare poorly concerning social and spiritual crimes. Additionally, many nations, aside from a few, suffer from extreme poverty and human suffering.
Why do nations that follow religious doctrines often have higher crime rates than secular ones? People, including myself, often seek God’s help in their daily lives. So why do so many prayers seem unanswered or fail to bring prosperity to solve hunger and poverty? My issue is not with religious beliefs but with the results. Is it possible that wherever the individual is disregarded or made irrelevant—whether by politicians or by individuals themselves—trouble and problems will increase? If you disagree, look at the results. It is not about religion, divine punishment, or reward; it is about truth-based reality. Accepting the relevance of individuals and their contributions is crucial. When power is stolen or handed over to unknown entities or politicians, things will backfire unless justice is done by rewarding individuals for their genuine and meaningful contributions.
God’s work must be carried out physically to be meaningful. Thus, preaching that an individual is irrelevant can harm society in the long run. The failure of communism can also serve as an example. How can an individual be irrelevant if even God’s work cannot be done without human beings? While we are alive with God’s help, without the physical presence of individuals, spiritual knowledge cannot manifest meaningfully. If you consider the people clinging to planes leaving Afghanistan or examine the global refugee crisis, you will see that they are not just seeking prosperity or financial security but are actually seeking relevance.
So, if changes are occurring in your community, nation, or religion, address it at the individual level. Don’t blame God or the Devil exclusively. Respect the individual and acknowledge their relevance in translating spirituality into physical actions, as this is how spirituality becomes meaningful. To reduce crime rates and foster survival in communities, value your individuals and grant them the respect they deserve. This will help them develop self-respect and self-esteem to regulate themselves and keep crime rates down. Remember, you can’t have a police officer for every individual in your community. Scaring them with the threat of hell or promising rewards after death is not practical. My concerns are not about sowing doubts about life after death but about ensuring justice for individuals during their lifetime and challenging the politics of power and control.
Today’s issues include equal human rights, global warming, the internet, and AI. Racism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination have had their day. If you cling to these traditional beliefs, be prepared to be ridiculed by the modern world. Failure to evolve will leave you behind. Look around and see how the world is transforming, and notice how those who proudly hold onto racism, sexism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination are looked down upon. Today, people are flocking to nations that value them, and the contributions of individuals to those nations show that today’s most powerful countries succeed because they respect individual talents from around the world. Individual self-respect, relevance, self-esteem, and success are interconnected. If you see a decline in your community, look for the causes. You will likely find individual irrelevance.
Diverting people’s attention from real issues is called politics 101. Carrot-and-stick philosophy is designed for training animals, and I believe humans do not belong in that category. Treating human beings like animals is wrong, regardless of what religions preach. Results speak louder than words. If you believe your religion holds great knowledge, I will believe it when I see the results.
The reason I named my blog “Who Flipped My Triangle” is that I want individuals to be the CEOs of their own lives. This means choosing to be good without fear of hell or greed for heaven. If you make people believe they are irrelevant, they become puppets of their groups, and their actions, whether good or bad, are dictated by group politics. As they see themselves as irrelevant, they will not question and may even commit spiritual crimes in the name of their groups while believing they are doing good for their nations, religions, and God.
Knowledge is key. If you politically inhibit individuals from evolving and becoming the CEOs of their lives, they will stay behind and drag their groups down as well. I am advocating for personal responsibility for actions. Even if individuals commit crimes for their groups, they should recognize their own responsibility. Placing God and the Devil at the top of the triangle or using carrot-and-stick philosophy is not logically spiritual because it deprives individuals of their relevance. If we accept our irrelevance, we lose self-esteem and hide behind God and the Devil to carry out the dirty work of our groups without accepting personal responsibility. Holding an atom of autonomy means using our free will and sense of justice, making us all responsible for our actions.
One can deny it, but you can’t escape truth-based physical realities. Just look at our justice system: unless tainted by politics, if you commit a crime, you are responsible for your actions regardless of your society. If groups don’t restore the relevance of their individuals, they can’t help them take charge of their lives, including their spiritual departments. If the foundational knowledge is flawed, deeply ingrained social problems cannot be fixed. As individuals, we are the physical thread of humanity and God simultaneously. Without our presence, nothing works. Yet, we are corrupted by the politics of belonging to our groups. It is up to us to fix this by looking within to find our truth-based reality of being human. When individuals accept responsibility for their actions, social ills will be addressed from the bottom up.
Even God cannot be meaningful if good or bad does not manifest physically. Without human physical actions, all notions of good and bad remain suspended. Spiritual matters must occur physically to be helpful and meaningful. If you still do not respect the human individual, it is because you have tainted personal spirituality and flipped the triangle. Undermining the physicality and contributions of human individuals robs them of their contributions and self-esteem, making it politically motivated rather than spiritually grounded. Raising awareness of individual relevance benefits both the individual and their society. Emotionally charged by nationalism and religious beliefs but lacking self-belief creates a gap that only individual responsibility can fill. If our political or religious systems stray from spiritual principles, they should be held accountable at the individual level. To me, that is the true essence of equal human rights. Humanity has been evolving without the control of any race, nation, empire, or religious beliefs. These entities come and go, but humanity continues to stand and evolve.
Despite political resistance and wars, things have never stayed the same. Today, humanity demands equal human rights, but there are still over four thousand active religious beliefs claiming superiority and nearly two hundred nations with territorial disputes dividing the globe. Yet, as supposedly evolved beings, we still struggle with bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. The cause of our problems is not only individual insecurity but also group insecurity. We face a dual disease of individual and collective insecurity that keeps us stuck as we cling to our identities. From last names to gender, skin color, nation, and beliefs, these factors hinder progress. Insecurity cannot bring internal or external peace. We must evolve according to the time and era we are born into.
If a Japanese taxi driver turns off the meter due to a personal mistake, it reflects spiritual awareness, not religious beliefs. Every good thing begins with an individual’s spiritual awareness. It starts from the bottom up, not from the top down, like a right-side-up triangle. For the sake of spiritual principles, not from fear of hell or greed for heaven. Humans are not animals. Let’s examine our everyday lives to see what needs changing. The essence of evolution lies in elevating our principles of humanity and putting people in charge of their lives.
