As we come into the world, we bring with us a mix of knowns and unknowns. While our understanding of the brain is incomplete, we do know that we have the capacity not only to learn but also to create new neurons as we gain knowledge. This means there are no inherent limits to learning or evolution imposed by God. In this sense, our potential is continuously evolving.
Although one cannot be a so-called “jack of all trades,” our level of evolution today allows us to learn to respect one another beyond the politics and accumulated knowledge that often divide us. Humanity has a painful history, and we are still engaged in killing each other’s children and innocents in the name of political belonging. The violence continues, with no end in sight. The politics of group allegiance have pushed humanity to the brink of extinction more than ever before. It is time to understand what it means to be human. Are we merely animals, or are we spiritual entities encased in physical forms? If you remove political influences, you may discover that you possess your own atom of autonomy. This autonomy is akin to being the CEO of your own life from before birth, guiding yourself like a metaphorical racehorse. Otherwise, someone else will control or run you like a field horse. Our atom of autonomy is there to help us, but it can only be fully utilized if we recognize ourselves as human beings. In other words, we must take charge.
When we look beyond our land, resources, or power struggles, everything often becomes politically tainted. This is especially true with religious beliefs, where people speak a completely different language. They become passionately and emotionally charged, despite their inability to provide physical proof that their metaphorical knowledge is not based on shaky grounds. The question is: why? This question is not for us collectively but rather for each individual, especially without political influences. If everyone reached their own conclusions and learned not to do to others what they would not want done to themselves or their loved ones, things could change. Remember, a group cannot act without the individual contributions of its members. Therefore, it is imperative for each of us to take responsibility for our physical actions.
Implementing equal human rights is straightforward if individuals are secure enough in their own existence to transcend group politics and think beyond it. The ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis illustrates this point. The death toll and suffering can prompt people to think more humanely, suggesting that humanity is inching in the right direction. Though progress seems slow and costly, it may be necessary to experience setbacks to advance further. These are growing pains, or as you might call them, tragedies we must endure to learn how detrimental group politics can be. We have moved from building churches from human skeletons to riding horses over the skulls of our enemies. These moments should be revisited to reflect on whether we should feel pride or regret.
Being proud of our ancestors’ actions and continuing their traditions can be harmful to contemporary humanity. We should not dwell on or reopen old wounds seeking revenge, as this keeps us anchored in our barbaric past. Our evolution should guide us in learning and correcting the course of our individual and collective lives, aligning with the humanity of today.
Unfortunately, our politics of belonging have hindered us from realizing our God-given nature to evolve. When examining both historical and modern-day conflicts, it’s evident that individuals commit spiritual crimes in the name of their group affiliations rather than following their spiritual nature. The problem is not just the actions taken but the belief that they are nothing without their group. Many are stalled in their personal evolution and brainwashed into believing they are not meaningful or relevant. This is especially true when comparing themselves to their groups or to concepts of God and Devil. These distorted perceptions keep us in the dark, preventing us from truly understanding ourselves. As a result, we often lack the self-esteem needed to question the politics of belonging and instead become political puppets.
If we view ourselves as insignificant or undermine our personal identity as human beings, we often act under the influence of our political affiliations. This leads us to hide behind our groups and avoid taking individual responsibility for our actions. Politically tainted education has not only kept humanity in conflict but also brought us to the brink of self-destruction with modern weaponry. Believing in personal irrelevance and failing to appreciate or use our God-given blessings should not be a matter of pride. Rather, these are spiritual crimes because the evolutionary nature of human individuals is a divine order. Shortchanging ourselves for political reasons goes against this divine order.
Starting with a question is not typical for me, but as I mentioned, you are born to be a PhD. Never underestimate or disrespect your blessings as a human individual. You are not only endowed with your personal atom of autonomy but also with the powers of an ocean-like brain, free will, and a personal sense of justice. If you feel less valuable or irrelevant, it is due to the political data imposed on you.
Remember, as a spiritual entity with a physical body, you are a force to be reckoned with. All spirituality-based knowledge, including understanding concepts like God and Devil, becomes meaningful when translated into physical actions. Guess what? That cannot happen without your involvement. Your group, God, and Devil all depend on your choices to make good or bad things happen. If you hold your own atom of autonomy, you should understand the powers you possess from before your birth. By nature, you have the power to override not only political influences but also hormonal urges. This essentially makes you the CEO of your life, using free will and personal sense of justice among other human abilities. Understand the powers you have and the responsibilities on your shoulders. Do not let your politics of belonging reduce you to a political puppet.
You are not born two thousand years ago but into an era of equal human rights. It is important to understand what has allowed humanity to evolve to the point where most people desire to give and receive equal human rights. Why does today’s world demand that you not only become the CEO of your life but also a PhD in managing your belonging politics? Remember, a human being is designed to make choices, decisions, and think independently. If you are unsure about becoming a CEO or a PhD, don’t worry—my explanations are clear.
Look at your design: as a human with a brain, you can understand far more than your group wants you to. Your brain can be compared to an ocean, receiving streams of knowledge endlessly. Just like the ocean never fills up, your brain continuously creates new neurons as you learn. In essence, our capacity to learn grows, and we pass this knowledge to future generations, who then carry on the tradition. Today, we ask for equal human rights while possessing lethal weaponry. The more we learn, the more we realize there is to learn. As humans, our potential for learning and evolving is boundless. If there are no limits, why do some resist progress? My personal guess is the politics of belonging to our groups, but it’s up to you to make your own guess.
Some groups are more obvious in their resistance, preaching fear and greed-based politics to control their populations. Enforcing rules based on our metaphorical world can backfire. Religious fanatics have become a minority, and non-political, just, and spiritually superior ideals like equal human rights are gaining ground for a reason. Our evolutionary nature, instilled by God, cannot be halted by political systems or politically tainted religions. Today, everything, including our bigotry and discrimination-laced religious beliefs, is under scrutiny. Groups have historically tried to keep their members ignorant to control them, treating them like animals in training. This education of irrelevance has persisted for thousands of years, but recently humanity has made strides in evolution. Even average individuals now advocate for equal human rights if they receive them. Most groups, including religions, resist questioning their political agendas, as evidenced throughout history and modern times. From blood transfusions to stem cell research, reproductive technologies, and genetic medicine, religious groups have consistently resisted progress. The reasons could be fear of individuals possessing their atom of autonomy, lack of real belief in God, or a desire for control. No wonder only a handful of religions are notable today. Google lists over 4,200 religions, while a movie I saw mentioned 2,231. I am curious about the fate of our religious beliefs because I believe they can be beneficial. This is why I address this topic in my blog and continue to seek things to discuss.
Regardless of having an ocean-like brain, if you remain stuck in one stream of knowledge or follow your group’s politics without questioning, you are not and cannot be a PhD, even though you have the potential to be one. Logically, you have the ability to absorb knowledge from various fields, mix and match, and make your own decisions. What does that make you?
Consider this: if you attend a school that teaches only one subject or uses one book exclusively, would you become a PhD in that subject? Perhaps to you and your group, but if you are ignorant of other aspects of life, you are not educated enough to separate politics from spirituality. Religious education often locks you into one book, making you a master of that subject and teaching you to be subservient to figurative top dogs. Despite the scandals of abuse among religious leaders, they are respected. But are they PhDs? They may be masters, but their politics restrict them from exploring beyond. Their education about life after death is presented as the ultimate focus, yet it remains at the same level it was thousands of years ago, based on metaphorical realities. As I mentioned, you must first die to truly master it. Their efforts to keep you subservient or herd you like sheep are pure politics of control and power. You are even made to believe that everything beyond the cliff of faith is more important than your living years. While this might be true metaphorically, our living years matter more because this is where we convert spirituality into physical actions. Remember, you cannot enjoy anything that requires a physical body without living. So, living in constant sacrifice is one thing, but if God needs our physicality to function, shouldn’t we question everything preached to keep us as irrelevant parts of our holy or unholy picture?
When it comes to our knowledge, a PhD degree is often regarded as the highest level of learning. It is usually awarded to those who can advance their given or acquired knowledge to the next level. Sure, you can intellectually discuss one subject, but with that level of education, one should set a standard for themselves to rise above bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. As a human individual, you simply can’t be smart in one area of knowledge and ignorant in another. Therefore, all our politically installed knowledge should be questioned by us all. If I were in a position to award myself a PhD, I would never give it to myself if I were a bigoted, prejudiced, or discriminatory individual. I know these are strong words, but if a PhD is our highest level of education, it should be about the education literally. Meaning, you can’t be stuck in a single stream of knowledge if you carry an ocean within.
To me, it should be expected from our highly educated individuals to use their ocean-like brains to be genuinely educated. With that level of education, it is expected to have personal views of life that are broad and vast like an ocean. You can’t be a PhD if you can’t mix, match, and choose to make sense out of your life. Especially if a human being is the holder of their own atom of autonomy, you must take responsibility for your physical actions, regardless of your hormonal and political influences. Remember, it is you who has the ability to use free will.
Since God blessed each human individual with their personal and exclusive atom of autonomy and an ocean-like brain, things should start from the bottom up instead of the top down. If our political groups and politically infected religious beliefs didn’t work, it’s because they preached individual weakness. Now, humanity is looking for strong individuals to run the show. Yet that is not the solution. To me, real democracy is the best way of governing because it puts the responsibility on the people to choose and reject at any time. The problem lies in the politics of belonging to a group rather than learning to live together as all kinds of people of humanity. Our nature and God treated us all equally with oxygen, a functioning body, an ocean-like brain, and an atom of autonomy as a spirit. I don’t see any prejudice and discrimination coming from our nature or God. So, if we follow the same path of spirituality, we will be better off overriding our politics of individual irrelevance.
On the other hand, depending on our individual insecurities, we can be politically influenced to the point that we personally reduce ourselves to standing in the lineup of other lesser-evolved creatures. The question is, if you are born as a human being, why can’t you see your value being reduced by your hormonal and political influences? You must pass the boundaries of your political belonging to even see those unseen political strings that pull you uncontrollably, making you believe you are not strong enough unless you are part of your political group. You are taught to believe that you are not worthy of a direct connection to God. Again, sort of like you belong to an arm or a leg, but not to the body directly. Whether it makes sense to you or not, I believe if you pass the test to be a human being, you physically belong to humanity and are spiritually connected to God directly. Just like the cells of your body are connected to you, they may be part of your arm or leg, but it is understood that they are part of your body directly. So, if you spiritually carry your own atom of autonomy, you are connected to God, meaning you cannot make God a bigoted and prejudicial entity by claiming that God stands with some people but not for humanity.
If you keep digging with an open mind, you will come to the point where you see that God is a just entity and nothing but. Proof is in the pudding: we are all equally blessed with a functioning, aging, and mortal body. Regardless of what race, gender, nation, or religion we belong to, we all need oxygen, water, food, and love to live. So, where did God go wrong? Maybe by supplying us all equally with our personal atom of autonomy? I do not think that is the case because that is where we all become a different and special entity than other creatures. If by nature, we have all been blessed with the same and equal essentials, then what makes us believe we are superior to others? Since God did a Godly job by keeping everything universal for us all equally, what is our problem? Why do our belonging groups preach and make us believe we are superior to others just by being born into or joining that group? To me, that simply cannot be spiritual because God did justice by giving us all the same brain, body, oxygen, aging, and mortality, pointing towards God’s universality. So, where did the differences come from? If God and spirituality are innocent, then the politics of belonging to our groups is guilty. Therefore, if it is political and related to our groups, it means God and spirituality have nothing to do with it.
Remember, our belonging groups have politically invented bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, but if you don’t lend your hands, backs, or shoulders to it physically, your group politics becomes impotent. Since they also implicated and used God for their political purposes, preaching that their political rules belong to God, remember individually you have been blessed with your own atom of autonomy. So, you are the one who is the CEO and responsible for everything you do. From beliefs and views to your physical actions, all responsibilities land on your shoulders.
Since we individually participate physically to make things happen for our groups, this can make them superior, but at the end of the day, the buck stops at our individual level. Now, the question is, are you stuck in the stream of knowledge preached by your belonging group? Or are you the CEO of your life who uses their ocean-like brain before making decisions to act physically? If you feel that your sense of belonging is too powerful or overwhelming, don’t forget the powers of your atom autonomy. Remember, it allows you to use your free will. So, if you can use your free will in other areas of your life, why not when it comes to standing against the wrongs of your belonging groups? Ever wonder why some people can easily form their opinions and are not stuck in a stream of political belonging?
It may seem that I am asking for too much, but I am not asking. I am just pointing out or stating the facts about human individuals’ abilities. Potentially, all human beings can learn both sides of the argument by picking, choosing, mixing, and matching everything within their heads just by thinking and producing their own conclusions. Now, this is what you call a PhD, but unfortunately, most of us stick with mastering a subject politically approved by our belonging groups. If you are among those influenced, all you have to do is think and believe that God has blessed you to think independently directly from your personal ocean, not from a political stream. So, you should know that it is not coming from God; it is political. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have an ocean-like brain, and if you think God did not do a Godly job for you, just look at your own makeup.
We all have brought along some serious blessings from before our birth. An ocean-like brain, a personal and exclusive atom of autonomy with related free will, a personal sense of justice, and the ability to mix and match to create our own opinions. If you still feel that you cannot think beyond your installed knowledge or feel stuck in a stream of politically influenced knowledge, you must look at your God-given potential. Be a human being, be a CEO of your life, and think about life beyond the political interests of your belonging group. Sure, your political loyalties are strong, but you came with your atom of autonomy, so you will have to answer to it because that is your spiritual side installed by God. Clashing with it can be hell on earth for you, so think again before straying from spirituality. If you go against your political group, you may face guilt trips and shunning, but if you go against your atom of autonomy, it may rip you apart from within. You can run away from your belonging group, but you cannot run from your atom of autonomy because it is sitting right within you. If you are willing to give up your inner peace in the name of your political belonging, YOU MAY SUFFER FROM SOMETHING OUR DOCTORS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH.
Remember, we simply cannot breathe without oxygen. With that limitation, we cannot claim to be in complete control of our own lives. This means we clearly have some help to function throughout our lives. Yet, we still claim that everything we do in our lifetime is solely our achievement, and some of us don’t even acknowledge the wisdom behind it. Life is not a fluke; I believe we all have purposes. Not acknowledging this help has its consequences. A lack of understanding of the bigger picture can rob you of your spirituality-based faith. Notice, I did not say religious faith because I believe when you mix the politics of belonging with spirituality, things always lead to conflicts and wars. If someone believes that killing each other over religious beliefs is acceptable, try removing the politics of belonging and see what happens to your faith in God.
Logically, when one cannot survive without a supply of oxygen, we should not only acknowledge its value but also learn to build trust and faith in the process. As mortals, we simply can’t function if we don’t deal with that fear; to live fearlessly, one must have faith. What does that mean? Well, when you look back, from day one, you were probably slapped on the butt to learn to breathe. Since then, you have been breathing something you can’t live without, not even for minutes, let alone years. If you are constantly in an insecure state of mind, what does that do to your everyday stress level and related issues? If you are in your sixties or seventies and have never acknowledged that help or claim that you do not even believe in God or that help, you may have been living with stress and related issues without any kind of genuine answer. Remember, your spiritual answer has always been right under your nose from where you take in that help. You can still learn to believe and create some inner peace because it is not about how long we live; it is about the quality of life we have. Living in fear as a mortal is not a good place to be because you can’t change that fact. With that reality, you can go kicking and screaming or you can accept it and go in peace. Religious people may accept this writing, but I believe in spirituality over a politically tainted belief. To me, a religious system should depend on its spiritual content to be beneficial for us all individually. Unfortunately, our religions were not able to stop the infectious disease of political belonging. Rather than accepting spirituality, universal justice, equal human individual rights, humanity as a whole, and one God, they allowed the politics of belonging to rule over and above their spiritual principles and drew political lines of divisions. They allowed their physical nature to override their spiritual side and started killing each other over their metaphorical and unknown beliefs. Despite thousands of years of evolution in all other aspects of life, even today we cannot stop our religious wars. We have been killing each other for thousands of years, and no one can count the death toll of innocent people killed in the name of religious extremism. And they are not done yet.
Whether this is done by a special kind of individual or an ordinary one, our solutions always start from a single individual’s thought. Personally, I believe the key has always been in the hands of individuals. Yet interestingly, we have been and still are looking or seeking solutions as political groups. As groups, human beings are biased, so our political groups simply cannot surrender their political powers and let the peace process succeed. Now, one way or another, the duty of converting spirituality into physical actions falls on all of us as individuals. Saying no to political killing is not going to change unless we individually take charge of our personal actions, because we are the ones who hold the physicality card. This means if an individual does not participate physically, our groups would stay suspended in the air just like God and the Devil. As I said, our metaphorical realities stay metaphorical unless a living, breathing human individual lends them their physicality to make things happen physically to be meaningful.
Since we all look at our provided spiritual wisdom with our own individual understanding, the more you are politically influenced by your groups, the more politics seeps into your outgoing personal words, and the more tainted a society becomes. So, understanding spiritual principles is a must for all of us. For instance, not doing to others what we don’t like done to us or our loved ones. Remember, most of us still believe that our religions teach us spirituality. So, if the religions are tainted with political influences, it’s like we have been served spirituality wrapped in political influences. Sticking with spirituality rather than our religious beliefs would be a lot more meaningful to you and God simultaneously, that is if you believe in God. Remember, a politically influenced individual would put a lot more effort into keeping face within society. Yet a spiritually inclined individual would look within for the approval of their atom of autonomy. Whether our individual actions comply with our atom of autonomy or not can dictate how we feel about ourselves. Usually, our spiritual side stems from our existing atom of autonomy or a God particle sitting right within all individuals. That inside is between you and God, so it is spiritual. Yet externally, it is all between you and the belonging group, meaning it is totally political. That is why we all need to look at our religious knowledge with critical eyes. Remember, our politicians may twist and turn to use everyone for their political purposes. So, if you hear a fiery and emotionally charged speech from a religious or political leader, pause, think, and know all about your personal responsibilities. One of our individual responsibilities is to separate spirituality from politics. Sure, it is not easy, especially when it comes to our religious beliefs, but this separation is a must and a spiritual thing to do. It has nothing to do with the politics of belonging but everything to do with our individual duty. Believing in God and spirituality is one thing, but killing in the name of religion is absolutely another.
Since human imagination and perception are powerful, it is crucial for all of us to look at our religion-related traditions, customs, rituals, and rules from the outside rather than from within the confines and boundaries, because that would be politically tainted. Remember, a belief system usually calls for blind beliefs and no questioning allowed for the followers. There is a reason for that, and that is reaching deep into the individual where they are weak and vulnerable, so they can be used as political puppets. Human beings are no ordinary creatures; our genetics are literally unmatched by other creatures. We are designed by nature to even question God. So, understanding the individual will be a good starting place before understanding God.
Since we all have been taught to believe that our groups have exclusive rights to God, that we own God, or that we are related to God, we might call God our cousin or something. To me, no matter how you look at it, it is a spiritual sin. Remember, we do not know very much about God, yet we connect God to our political bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. To me, if God is for some but not for all, that is nothing but human politics. Spirituality, blind justice, humanity, and God Almighty, they all are universal, so believing in anything other than their universality belongs to group politics, period.
Spirituality and the wisdom connected to it are pure of politics, so it is worth seeking for all of us, even for atheists, because regardless of what religion you are born into or what you believe, one still must be a functioning individual by following our morals and ethics to be civilized. If you are not or are encouraged not to question your religious knowledge, you are accepting a life lived within a cocoon to feel safe, yet the reality of being mortal says otherwise. As human beings, we are designed to fly by attaining wings of our imagination. So, if you are stuck or are sticking with your status quo for political reasons, you are not questioning even the questionable. Not only do you stall your process of evolution, but you are also going against God’s will. Remember, without questioning, you are simply staying within limits, and at most, you are going to be mastering one stream of knowledge. Yet by nature, you have been created to go beyond, because you have the potential to constantly grow new neurons and, with the help of your personal atom of autonomy, as they say, the sky is the limit. With your ever-evolving imagination, you are supposed to live a limitless life. Always remember, you are not a worker bee or a warrior ant because their DNA calls for their limits. You, on the other hand, are different because your DNA calls for constant evolution. So, you must comply with what your nature has intended for you. If you want to look for the proof, it is everywhere. Regardless of the number of our religions and experimentation with kingdoms, dictatorships, autocracies, isms, and styles of democracies for our governing systems, humanity has never been contained and totally controlled. Our evolution tells it all with overwhelming proof.
On one side, we are flying in space without even having physical wings, and on the other, we are evolving by leaps and bounds in areas like science, medicine, technology, and everything in between. Nowadays, with AI, things are going to take humanity to the next level of our evolution in no time. Socially, we are living happily in melting pot societies while seeking equal individual human rights. This means we are finally breaking away from group-based political protocols. Sure, our progress in this area of life is slow, and at times, we even regress. This is simply because we are still killing each other in the name of political belonging. Still, we have come a long way from our bush and cave days. I am not complaining, but I would rather have humanity learn to live together peacefully. Remember, it’s us individually who provide physicality to our belonging group’s political agendas. If we individually take charge as CEOs of our lives, we can take responsibility for our personal actions, meaning we are not just standing in line with other creatures. Interestingly, with strong politics of belonging, there has always been and still is a segment of the human population that does not think that, as individuals, we are independent entities. Since we all bring along our atom of autonomy from before birth, we are all equally responsible for our personal actions.
Remember, individual evolution requires individually questioning the unquestionable. So, if you think you are not supposed to question your belonging group, at least honestly question your abilities, because humanity’s problems are deeply rooted in our individual insecurities and ignorance. As individuals, we must seek what has always been there but has been discouraged by the politics of belonging to our groups. Everyone can see that people around the world are living peacefully in melting pot societies. Yet, there are those who do not want to override their politics of belonging to live in peace. Remember, our groups have been and still are fearful of human DNA that constantly calls for individual evolution, and that scares them.
As individuals in this era, we should be researching our imagination so we can understand this aspect of being human. For instance, consider a thought that feels physically real but comes from our imagination. Or think about God, who spiritually exists, but we have not figured out yet. As I always say about us being the CEOs of our lives, we should be able to restrain our politically influenced emotional responses. Understanding our imagination and its effects on us individually can be a good start. Then, after that, learn about God—not the other way around. Putting God first has not worked for us because we are still in the infancy of learning about ourselves. Remember, we still kill each other over our metaphorical realities, meaning we rob someone’s physical reality over what we do not know anything about—different sides of our imagination.
Not all, but most of us think, believe, and have opinions that lead us to make choices differently. Yet, the outcome of our differences can become a life story. Since we are all dependent on external help like oxygen and other life-sustaining circumstances and internal help like being physically born, cared for, and loved when we are in need, things get murky and confusing when we start to say God and the Devil are doing everything, and we mean nothing. Yet all human individuals come to life with certain blessings, like their own atom of autonomy related to free will and a personal sense of justice, among other things. So, if God and the Devil are doing everything, where do we stand as individuals? Because clearly, we are the ones making choices.
Personally, I like to make sense of myself to believe in God and understand where I stand as an individual. For instance, if I know I have a body that will age and die, my decisions, choices, and belief system should align with my mortal nature. If I fear aging and death, my focus will be on disliking the process and becoming unappreciative of every breath I take. My whole spiritual side collapses, sending me back to stand in line with other creatures. Living a physical life exclusively is for other creatures, not human beings, because we may miss out on the special feelings our spiritual side provides us. A human life without spiritual jewelry is an impotent life experience because we not only live with fear-related stresses and physical health problems but also control-related mental health issues. We literally miss out on our ability to enjoy feelings of compassion, trust, generosity, sacrifice, and love. We even miss out on deeply believing in God and knowing ourselves as godly human beings. So, yes, I would rather live my life knowing that I am a human being with an aging body and mortal nature, always questioning not only the purpose but also the responsibilities and duties.
No one just shows up in a factory to walk around like a zombie and die. As human beings, we come to reciprocate for the blessings of being alive. If everyone were sick or, as a better example, if everyone were infected with the Zika virus and no one was there to help and care for them, how would humanity, God, and even the Devil survive? Sure, it is a hypothetical scenario, but I have never seen humanity without its hypothetical scenarios, assumptions, and beliefs. On top of all that, our progress and evolution come from our spiritual side. Remember, we fly but did not grow physical wings, or we do bad things but did not grow horns like a hypothetical Devil.
Our imagination is not something physical but is an essential part of our evolution. So, not believing in God or our spiritual side to live our life physically can be troublesome because individually, we can suffer from our own selves. We can die like physical creatures chasing our tails with an unsatisfied life. Remember, the powers our imagination has are immense. It’s not only with us to help us evolve and progress to live a life of convenience. It has its other side as well. You can benefit from meditation, heal yourself from placebo effects, and even through hypnotherapy and simply believing in God as well. Interestingly, on the other side, you can also harm yourself from insecurities related to a lack of belief, control, and related stress and anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, and even physical health problems. Personally, to me, understanding our spiritual side can have unseen benefits, so not seeking to understand that side of our story can hold us back. For instance, hope is a word often used as beneficial because it helps us go through our dark times and keeps us spiritually intact even after we have gone through hard times.
Let us look at it this way: say, we are God to every cell of our body, so we are relating to them as one God. We simply have to acknowledge their importance and relevance by bringing ourselves to their level of understanding. Remember, logically and in the real world, one cancerous cell can bring the whole body down. Then look at yourself to know your importance and relevance in the grand scheme of life. Say you are an extremist with a nuclear weapon—what kind of power would you have? If your health is in danger, whether emotionally or otherwise, for instance, your education that you have been receiving can be dangerous not only to your opposing and belonging group but also to humanity as a whole. So, use your ocean-like brain to put things together by thinking and use your blessings of having your own atom of autonomy and related free will, personal sense of justice, and other abilities that you have brought along from before birth. You do not have to go far to know all that. All you have to do is think, pick, choose, mix, and match to produce your own solutions.
You must tell yourself that you are the seeker who does not only want to know what is written in the lines but also what is in between the lines. Remember, our brains are designed to not only learn but also think to create passable or teachable knowledge. On top of that, evolving nature tells us that there are no boundaries, freezing, or caps for us individually. If you follow or do not use the brain as nature or God intended, you are not only disrespecting yourself but also your creator.
Politically, most belonging groups, especially our religions, use old-style politics wrapped up in spirituality to deceive their emotionally charged individuals. They do this simply to keep their belonging individuals in control. So, they discourage independent thinking.
If you have been or are discouraged, always remember that it is one hundred percent a political tactic. So, God, spirituality, justice, and humanity have nothing to do with it. Fortunately, since you are born in the era of equal human individual rights, you can question these outdated and politically inspired traditions, customs, rituals, and rules. Today, our groups are having trouble controlling their belonging individuals, so there is a tug of war for power. That is why there is so much chaos in the world. Humanity is going through evolution-related growing pains. So, learn and learn to think, not after your graduation or master’s, but right from the get-go. Question, question, and question some more. So, you can learn what is behind those traditions, customs, rituals, and rules belonging to your groups exclusively. If you find nothing but the politics of belonging, simply remember, by nature, you are born as a human being. Politics or not, logically and physically, you belong to humanity as a whole, with one universal justice system and one God, rather than a divided humanity, local justice systems, and spiritually bankrupt but politically inspired thousands of religions. If you divide God for political reasons, you have a major problem because now you are treating God as if God is a human being just like you. I know I am repeating myself because, to me, it is important and this can be classified as a spiritual crime. Remember, you are making God out to be something God is not. Blaming God for something that God is innocent of literally means committing a spiritual crime. If God were insecure like human individuals or groups, we would not be provided with everything universally and equally in the same way. Good or bad is all the same for humanity. As human individuals, we use oxygen, need water, food, and love to survive, and have aging and mortal bodies. We enjoy or get hurt by the same things. Disrespecting love loss is one of the biggest damages done to us by our political belonging to our groups. Our love loss is the pain that hits deep in the soul, so we try to inflict the same pain on the one who caused us that pain. This means we individually demote ourselves from being spiritual entities to physical creatures to do the dirty deeds of our political groups. That is why belonging groups try to kill each other’s individuals so they can be inflamed and used as fuel.
Individually, our biggest problem is that we have been blessed or cursed with our personal and individual atom of autonomy and related abilities. On top of that, we can potentially be swayed by political belonging, which can lead us to commit spiritual crimes against each other, regardless of our group or religion. If you look at our holy books, they often point towards the demise of humanity. Yet to me, that outcome is highly dependent on how we individually use our atom of autonomy and evolving nature. It is human individuals who will ultimately make or break humanity. Our evolution will dictate whether we defy our group politics or if it will be too late for humanity to learn and evolve to the level where we can change our predicted future.
If you ask me personally, I would rather have a belief system than not. However, it must make sense to me to the point that I do not just claim to know everything about the metaphorical world of the afterlife. To me, our metaphorical world is still dominated by our imagination, so our lack of knowledge should not inspire us to rob each other or cause us to lose our spiritual side. A metaphorical reality remains metaphorical until it is proven to be a physical reality. I would gladly accept my limitations to understand and respect the process of my evolution, rather than blindly believing in everything that is preached and even enforced by our belonging groups.
If we all have come with our personal atom of autonomy, it means we have been allowed to use our free will and personal sense of justice, directly from God. Having a belief system can actually be helpful to use our active imagination to benefit us during our living years. What lies beyond our cliff of faith, we may not know, but we should be aware of our spiritual duties. Instead of fearing hell or being greedy for heaven to be politically controlled, I would rather self-regulate for the love of God and myself. Since our imagination can play an influential role in our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, we should all use it wisely because it can affect us negatively as well. Our atom of autonomy can help us avoid being swept away by political belonging, which usually causes us to harm ourselves or others. Unfortunately, despite our level of evolution, individually we are susceptible to being politically manipulated like puppets.
Always remember, we no longer live in the wild, and we are not on the food chain anymore. Our level of evolution should dictate that we no longer need to belong to groups for security. Today, the level of evolution in other areas of life has brought us to the brink of self-destruction. Since each of us is equipped with our own personal atom of autonomy, decision-making is our own personal matter. If you make decisions out of fear-related control, what happens to you when that fear subsides? Will you fall apart and lose your spirituality, or will you be able to self-regulate? Since that is your personal issue, what you feel from within is the cause of your fears. Feelings of inadequacy are taught, not natural, because by nature, even your potential has the potential to evolve. We should all try to learn what is behind our fears. If you do not address them, you will end up with a like-minded group of people who feel the same way. Now your fears have progressed to become collective, meaning all your political decisions will be based on that group prejudice. Eventually, you will reach a point where your own value, even in your eyes, decreases. You become irrelevant, and your self-esteem plummets. Did God create you that way? If you start to ask yourself this question, it means you still have some self-worth. Remember, you did not just show up with your ocean-like brain and abilities to pick, choose, mix, and match everything with your free will to make things happen physically. Do you know what this means? Without your physical input, things stay suspended in the air indefinitely, meaning they have no value. An action must be physically performed to be meaningful. If you are politically influenced, eventually you will give up your ocean-like potential for your belonging group or for an unknown entity like God or the Devil.
Believing individually that you do not have any power at all is a feeling many people experience. Yet, God is the one who created or selected human beings to individually hold the power of the atom of autonomy. If we can choose to decide individually and collectively, then why are we hell-bent on killing each other or in a self-destructive mode? It is time that we all ask ourselves this question individually. If fear and related control are consuming you or dictating your decisions, you have a problem of disbelief, even if you believe you are a believer. A relationship, whether it is between you and God or between people, requires and depends on trust, or should I say blind trust. This believing but not trusting creates fear that eventually turns into control. If you have these two problems in the foundation of your belief system, to you, the existence of God will always be questionable.
With this confusion, you will be suspicious and distrusting in everything you do. Meaning, you will not seek your potential, nor will you put effort into evolving. Now you have a problem because God created you or blessed you with an evolving nature. Evolution requires effort and persistent trust. So the kicker is our atom of autonomy at an individual level, meaning a spy or God himself is sitting within us individually. So, not trusting spiritually or disbelieving cannot be hidden. If you distrust and disbelieve, you personally stand in your own way. Believing and trusting in yourself and God is the key to boldly go beyond and seek the evolution of humanity.
Standing in our own way points towards both the cause and the solution to our problems. Remember, our groups’ insecurities start with insecure individuals, so the solutions to our problems will come from strengthening the individual as well. That is why I have been writing about us being the CEOs of our individual lives. If you follow a group of people that consists of individuals disbelieving in their own atom of autonomy, not using their abilities to exercise free will, or having no personal sense of justice, you will become what your belonging groups want you to be. In today’s educated world, being educated in one subject should never be enough because certain responsibilities are attached to being educated. Being educated means you act and behave in such a manner that you are not stuck in one particular stream of knowledge. Your level of understanding should surpass your outdated group belonging. If you believe in God, then God should be universal and one, just like spirituality and blind justice, not just for some but for all of humanity. If you are educated but are biased, bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory because of your race, gender, nation, or religious beliefs, your politics of belonging has overridden your real education. This means your level of education does not match the requirements of being educated in the era you are born into.
Sure, our politics of belonging is powerful and can influence most of us, but in today’s times, being educated means you are with the times and willing to give if you receive equal human individual rights from others. It is much easier if you, as a modern-day educated individual, understand yourself. Your ocean-like brain, your atom of autonomy, and related abilities to use free will and personal sense of justice and all the powers of political belonging. If and when you get there, you will be educated enough to override your irrelevance and put things in perspective beyond the politics of belonging. In order to call yourself an educated CEO, you have to know all about the universality of God, spirituality, justice, equal human individual rights, and above all, know all about group belonging and its related extremes that can convince you to commit spiritual crimes.
A political puppet will always be a master, not a PhD.
