Personally I believe that the meaning of the human individual’s life is reciprocation. Whether its with God, your partner, family or community. A clap would not be able to create sound if one was to attempt to clap with one hand, and yes, even God without the human being, would be similar to a ghost town. Regardless of any abilities one might possess there would be no benefit to anyone thus they would not have any value.
Life related troubles show up when we stray and let our untamed animal related domination traits take over our spiritual side. In the Animal Kingdom this domination game is played constantly but if the human beings don’t watch out for it, it can play them as well.
Dominating others for personal comfort and gains has been and still results in our wars. Our politics of personal and collective life overpowers our personal sense of justice and we could all end up paying the price with not only individual sufferings but with our wars constant and perpetual revenge killings.
If everyone can understand our animal side where we urge to dominate others . As we become aware of the personal sense of injustice, especially when it comes to collectively attacking the other groups regardless of justifications, we may begin to be aware of where these actions may lead. Things can get a lot less complicated if we choose to live a mortal individual life as it has the potential to create peace collectively.
A Personal sense of justice is not hard to get if you follow two rules of spirituality. First don’t do to anyone what you don’t like being done to you. Second: Walk a mile in another persons shoes to understand how they are similar to the shoes you walk in.
When politics takes over a spiritual system like religions, we come up with all kind of excuses to dominate the conquered ones. From looting to degrading to committing spiritual crimes in the name of religions, yet religions are trying to teach us spirituality. If you want the proof just look around the past history and present wars. It has been and still is consistent but I hope it does not carry on into our future. If we all belong to our chosen groups our politics would keep us doing what we have been doing. If we at a personal level emerge as a responsible of individual actions meaning evolve and become one humanity then and only then we can get rid of our past animal like behaviors. The difference between the other animals and human beings always boils down to inhibitions, if you let your animal side take over or let your inhibitions down because of the substances or emotions you end up letting the animal dominate your actions regardless of your level of education, which would not allow you to spiritually evolve to become a compassionate human individual.
I believe the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups have done enough damage to our religious spirituality. It is time to strain out the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups and learn to appreciate the real essence of the religions and yes that is the spirituality which directly connects the individual to God and humanity as a whole. Regardless of the religion ,if you bring the spirituality to the fore front, humanity can come together as a whole. Otherwise the politics of our sense of belonging would always keep us into our pigeon holes.
If we individually can learn to treat each other as a working hand of God, we can learn to join each other regardless of the differences. If the religions take out their politics of sense of belonging to a one groups of human beings the doors of spirituality would open for them otherwise they would lose their credibility, that is what happening these days. Most of the nations and religions preach that they are better than others, this kind of education is given to their belonging individual this leads to false self-esteem related prejudice and ignorance thus people regardless of the level of education, start to stand against the human rights and commit injustice in the name of their belonging group willingly.
Humanity, equal human individual rights and equal justice to all is far more important than any religious rule, tradition or ritual because of spirituality. If you can cross these lines of rules, traditions, customs and rituals of religions and if you can respect the human individual as God’s working hand. You will find spirituality. Otherwise politics would make you do the same what you have been doing for thousands of years. If people refuse to change, look to what is happening these days with the weapons of mass destructions. Religious passion can be deadly for the humanity thus God’s existence. To be spiritual instead of following your religion politically is the way we must be willing to do.
There is no room for injustice in spirituality. A group can’t violate even one individual’s human rights. That is why religion’s spiritual side have been compromised. In order to rule a mass of individuals, a successful political system is required. If you want to rule and run government, you can’t really have a fool proof system so the spirituality should be in the foundation of all justice systems. Religions or any other sense of belonging to a group based system would not work as a governing system. The best way to deal with this problem is to keep the religions spiritual and be free of political governing. When an individual can take the state to court and win is a good justice system because what is the reason behind, us having a justice system? This kind of Justice System is there to help the weak and if the weakest wins against the strongest you can’t ask for more spirituality related justice.
If you are in a relationship with the politics of domination in mind in today’s social systems. You are heading for the problems because we don’t live in the caves anymore where security system was different. Today we have given that power to the big brother. Individual security still matters but the security system is different. Governments or religious ruled big brother system has been around for a long time but has always been questionable. Is it working for the individual? There has always been a politics which preferred the mass over the individual, so even if it was injustice, the individual would lose. Since the individual is the essence of the humanity he/she should be respected and given justice. No one should be above the law not even the governing powers or religions.
Being mortal makes it a lot more important for us to be responsible for our happiness. Reliance on Big Brother has not brought us the security related justice, happiness and contentment we have been longing. By having more guns, wars and related problems like death, depression and anxiety is a lot more common than in the past. When expectations develop and are not fulfilled, personal weaknesses become greater than they are. Lack of a belief system and personal weakness is directly related to the understanding of personal value. As a human individual we are directly working with, not for God nor for our belonging groups yet as a reciprocating authority. Which brings us all individually at the equal footing as a sub contractor not a servant, so know your place.
If you pull your load honestly, whether its as a partner, family member, community member or simply reciprocating to God you will have less stress but a lot more self respect and self-esteem as well. Being comfortable in your skin is closely related with your personal input and sense of justice.
If you get free oxygen and are alive with a good health, your thanks giving should not only be once a year, your ability to live is not in your control nor its in your family’s, community, nation or religion’s control. It is directly connected to the source or you can say God. Living on the face of the earth in an external chaotic space and then with in the internal totally chaotic yet organized space is as complex as it can get. Sure you have a say but after all the complexities have been in alignment for you personally. If you still think you are functioning at your own will then just look around and see how vulnerable a mortal being is.
When you are taught or you think, it is all your doing, whatever is happening in your life, you are not fully comprehending what you may be missing in your own personal sense of justice. To comprehend this requires you to educate yourself so you can avoid situations that may cause you some related anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. It takes away the importance of the most important thing, the individual happiness in a mortal life. This makes most of us puppets and slaves of our belonging groups because we are made to feel weak, fragile and insignificant.
We are mortal and that is a reality so this temporary life should be lived fearlessly collecting every happy moment along the way. If any thing you have to sacrifice your happiness over, is coming from your belonging groups, so should be looked at with your personal sense of justice.
By no means am I preaching selfishness. I am simply stating the fact of mortality which needs spirituality more than our political religions. No one should take personal responsibilities off of their shoulders and hide behind the politics of the group that they have chosen to belong to and follow their teachings. If the belonging individual does not ask questions, the belonging groups become too strong to be questioned. The story of the individual weakness related unfulfilled life begins if you don’t take charge of your life. Do you really have a say? If you ask this question to yourself in the dead of the night, the answer would come and point you to your God given free will.
There are two things in common in all human beings regardless of the differences. They are Oxygen and free will. Ask yourself, do you appreciate them? If you don’t, do you believe that you are a human being God had meant for you to be. Since you are not programmed to be a weak puppet or slave of your belonging groups and not even to God, how can you let it happen?
