A bad person has no gender, race, color, nationality or religion because our mortality related insecurities are universal. These insecurities have the potential to rob us individually but collectively as well. We tend to get bought and sold into senseless killings. We even commit spiritual crimes against the innocent beings because of the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups. Our individual and collectively goodness takes a back seat when we emotionally get charged by the divisive and inspiring speeches of our passionate political or religious leaders.
From national constitutions to religious texts, they have been and are still promoting politics of sense of belonging to a one particular group of people instead of humanity as a whole. That is why our individual actions can be hated and hailed simultaneously by the opposing groups. So who do you belong to, your belonging group or the humanity as a whole? Do you have enough personal sense of justice so you can criticize the bad or wrong actions of your belonging group? Can you cheer a good play if it is against the team you are fan of ? Can you apologize for the wrong that your belonging groups have done in the past? I don’t think you can, if you have been influenced by the politics of your sense of belonging. The reality of today is that we have a whole lot of civilization and evolution under our belt so there is enough evidence that the people have the potential to rise and change the old politics related customs and traditions. It is more pronounced in the melting pot societies but the majority is still coming to terms with equal human rights.
If the individual is over whelmed by the powerful politics of sense of belonging they don’t assume that they need to be responsible for their actions. The right and wrong has been dictated and the personal judgment has been discouraged by the authorities. If you, as an individual, consider yourself as an extension of a group of people or an ideology, just start to look at your life and your personal makeup. Everything from nature to intellect points towards a living breathing independent entity or a creature simultaneously. What makes you a dependent creature is disregarding your personal value from within.
From not reciprocating to God to disrespecting your abilities comes from the politics of belonging groups. Belonging groups don’t want an average individual to speak against everything an authoritarian government wants to do. To me, justice is justice, so it needs to over ride the politics of the sense of belonging. If individually we can evolve, potentially we actually solve the riddles of our wars. Injustices come from personal and collective insecurities bread by the politics we have been following for millions of years.
Today we have nuclear and biological weapons so old ways of doing simply can bring in the predicted end to the humanity from within. Personally I believe this lack of individual sense of justice has been one of the main causes of our not only the social ills we face in our everyday life but our wars as well.
An insecure individual or a group of people would use everything in their powers to secure everything, while losing personal sense of justice related ethics and morality.
The kicker is that our illusive security can’t be achieved regardless of our efforts. Just take a look at rate of our individual and dynasty mortality. From Egyptian to Roman to British Empires they all had their days but things in humanity never stop changing. These ideas may make one feel like I am going off topic but it is related to personal insecurities. There was news from England a while back that teenage girls were getting pregnant to have children so they can stay on the social assistance. I am not being conservative or liberal, just being realistic to think that there should be some purpose and preparedness for having babies. If you put yourself in a position where you have to sacrifice everything, which includes having to sleep for someone to make a child, you have to be ready for it. If your purpose is to provide security for yourself, how would you be able to fare to that little and always demanding baby?
People use people and get used all the time in all societies. Some may choose to get married therefore making their relationship legitimate while others may not get married but the fundamental cause of this behavior is the same. Personal and highly individual may have insecurities regardless to what they choose to do.
How do you overcome these insecurities? If you want to overcome something, you have to look for the cause. Personally I believe it starts with the disruptions in their personal spiritual beliefs. First of all, it’s related with the knowledge of mortality and the strong desire to avoid the realities of mortal life. Second, confusing religious preaching that teach that it’s a punishable sin to God to physically reproduce God.
Imagine there are no people, to whom would God matter ? Calling someone a bastard today is not only a clear violation of equal human rights, it is down right discrimination and prejudiced related injustice. None of us have any control regarding our birth so this coming from the Godly people is a spiritual crime especially if it is committed against the innocent being whom has no say at all in their birth. Among other discrimination and prejudice related logical injustices this one has always bothered me the most. An injustice against the innocent little being in the name of God yet believing that a leaf on the tree can’t move against God’s will.
Logically looking at it this makes me think that as religious individuals we are saying that we are better than you just because I am born within the wedlock approved by the belonging religion or a group of people. If an injustice is done in the name of God to an innocent being it is not only against all the law and order in the humanity it is against all the ethics and morality simultaneously. Your individual sense of justice is the only thing can help you to stand against the injustice, otherwise your politics of sense of belonging can keep you blind from Godly facts. You are following your religion as a belonging group and disregarding the vary belief system at the same time because you do believe that God has the ultimate power to control even the movements of the leaves on the trees. If you believe in that, how can you not believe that a whole human being is born without the will of God?
Crime rates in religious societies is a clear sign of insecure individuals and the strict punishments. Public shaming by the belonging groups has everything to do with the politics of control and nothing to do with the religious spirituality.If you use free will to get up in the morning, go to school or work, you are personally choosing good or bad already. You can’t hide behind the Devil to claim that the Devil made me do it. In other words, you are saying that the Devil is bad but I am not. If you take the back seat and ignore responsibility because of your religious beliefs, you are being political not spiritual.
If good is from God and bad is from the Devil, where do you stand as an entity? This good and bad comes to existence by you and you alone as an individual. Sure you are instrumental in both good and bad but it is by your choice and your choice alone.
Gone are the days when you can hide behind God and the Devil. Today if you commit a crime you go to jail or get fined. Now let’s look at this picture from a wider range. If you disappear as an individual, what happens? Good and bad actions done by you cease to exist. I am not talking about the spiritual world , I am talking in the physical world where logic should prevail to the point that we stop killing each other in the name of religious differences.
You can believe whatever you want but you just can’t kill each other over it. I am not saying, as an assumption, according to the best of my knowledge that I am claiming if there are no people left, God and the Devil physically stop to exist. The spiritual world is a different reality and everyone has their own version of that truth.
Someone posted a native version which I liked to the point that I would write the whole thing as a quote.
Quote,
“ In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other, “ Do you believe in life after delivery? The other replied, Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later. Nonsense said the first. There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be? The second said, I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now. The first replied, That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.
The second insisted, Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore. The first replied, Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere. Well, I don’t know, said the second, but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us. The first replied, Mother. You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is she now?
The second said, She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist. Said the first, Well I don’t see her, so it is only logical that she doesn’t exist. To which Second replied, Some times, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive her presence, and you can hear her loving voice, calling down from above. End Quote”.
Every culture and era of people have something to offer, but the politics of our sense of belonging denies us to see the beauty or the logic they present to make their follower’s lives richer. We all have evolved through a spiritual journey regardless of where people come from.
We are stuck in the name calling such as calling someone a bastard if they are not following our rules or way of living. It is equivalent to one cell of a human body, a spec of sand or an individual in the whole humanity. This small thinking keeps us small as an individual. It creates fear to explore our potential as a potentially majestic human individuals. No wonder we have to break religious boundaries to advance in our technological, scientific, world of medicine and even spiritual world. All the advances have brought benefits to humanity even to helping the people whom call it Godless. Ironically, most of the religious people don’t shy away from using modern technologies, but they always complain about the people who break the religious boundaries to bring help to them. Some examples of this is that these people drive trucks instead of carts that are pulled by bulls to get to places where they have access to daily medicine which will help them stay alive or live a longer life. This change not appreciated because of political reasons. If I personally benefit from someone I would be appreciating it whole heartily. Whomever have brought easy living for me, politics aside, I believe that credit should be given where it is due.
If you are an animal who just does not have the comprehension of life beyond eating and reproducing, you can’t be blamed about not being able to see the future and the possibility of your extinction. How are we doing as creatures such as human beings ? Are we God like potentially ? As an individual we can’t just hide behind religious doctrines by accepting what they teach as being God’s Will and not do any thing in our power to follow through what He wishes us to do. I am not talking about being non religious or non spiritual, I am talking about being responsible for our actions. We have been surviving all natural disasters we have even survived the ice age. We used to live an average of thirty eight years. Today we live twice as long and in the near future we may will be able to live three time of that. If you think it is only God’s will, just take your head out of the sand and smell the roses of the realities of global warming. God has given charge to human individuals by giving free will and a sense of justice, don’t undermine it!
Sure mortality is not captured and oxygen is still protected by the unknown sources for us but what I see is an exercising senior citizen is in far better health related quality of life. So what are the reasons behind, do we have a say or don’t we? By nature we are an evolving entity, we not only are able to do our personal life better we can overcome and adopt to adverse situations. An exercising senior citizen has taken life as a personal responsibility and is being proactive thus plays a major role in a quality mortal life.
Do I believe in God? Yes, I believe in God. God gave me the abilities to do Godly work myself. I choose to belong to humanity as a whole instead of just a group of people. I choose not to be discriminatory and being prejudice against others. I believe that I have been blessed with free will and a sense of justice so I can see the political agendas hidden behind the traditions and custom of my belonging group. If global warming related problems are coming and I don’t do anything to do my share by accepting it as God’s will, I am not doing what God expects of me. If everyone starts to use the potential God has installed in the human individual, things would be different. Peace would be possible and human would be further ahead than where we are right now. We use our resources in developing industries to kill each other instead of furthering the humanity. Remember, the purpose of our individual’s life is to reciprocate directly to God and how do we reciprocate is that we help all people as humanity.
Whether you believe in God or not, is not the question, but my question is are you reciprocating? Are you fulfilling your tasked duties as a human being on the face of this earth? As advanced nations we should know what is at stake and prepare ourselves by helping the people that live in the hostile environment because everyone’s survival depends on spiritual growth of humanity. We have to believe that if a drought happens in far lands and people are suffering the problem is not only local. Since earth is round, no one can escape climate changes until we find some different planet. Instead of building walls and oil pipelines we need to build water systems by putting our resources together because we can’t survive without water. These things can’t happen if we keep the old style politics of sense of belonging to our respected groups, they can only happen when we individually start to think that we belong to one humanity.
Sure there are political problems but they should not become spiritual problems. Narrow mindedness has been around since forever, just look at today’s realities and decide for yourself. Do you think if nuclear war breaks or even global warming related damage happen that a wall will protect you? The greatest wall of all walls was built in China, would it save China? If you really believe this, your head is buried in the sand. Politics, scientific inventions and religious differences are actually hindrances which do not help humanity. Humanity needs spiritual awakening to tackle our modern day problems.
If you pull backward like Brixet or elect Donald Trump to be your president, your life is revolving in the old circles. Old ways of doing things have created our modern problems or these modern problems have been created by the unknown. We must evolve to the next level of civilization so we can begin to deal with new paradigm. Since our modern problems know no boundaries, humanity has to remove its political boundaries as well. We have been dealing with it for long while, from space station to internet to modern advances in all our departments. They are steps towards evolution. Only spiritual evolution can help the ordinary individual to pass or over ride the sense of belonging to the related boundaries, whether they are political, racial or religious. Stepping into a new paradigm of civilization is not an easy transition for humanity which is still divided and being pulled back by the politics of sense of belonging to respected groups of people.
British and American population’s faces are not white anymore, so instead of preaching racism, prejudice and discrimination against each other, we need to educate the individual about reciprocation and responsibilities.
As we grow technologically we are heading towards job loss and further acceleration of the wealth transfer to the so called 1% of the population.
Spending money to keep people working is not a new phenomena. In the past when kings ruled, they would create mega building projects to keep everyone working.
People need to eat thus they need to work or work to eat. If the governments of the times don’t think for the coming changes they would end up with the chaotic problems of social unrest and lawlessness or to a lower level disrespect of the social rules.
Common sense says hungry people would not obey the rules of law and order so the governing authorities have to take responsibilities to feed the population. I may sound like a socialist idea but I look at it as a spirituality related social rule. Not too long ago there was a news about Denmark being the happiest country in the world. The reasons were free education and total health care. Others say this is socialist.
I personally believe in freedom but freedom with a spiritual touch. If you give total freedom to insecure mortal human beings, dog eat dog philosophy flourishes which only leads to hoarding. It creates or encourages wealth transfer to the 1% of the population with the possibility of tax cheating as the Panama report stated. I can just imagine things getting even worse with some of the technological advances. If we don’t advance spiritually, we are heading in an unknown zone of civilization. Do we need socialism to prevent our social chaos or give everyone a gun to kill or get killed over food and security?
As I said earlier, a hungry stomach rules all the law and order related rules. All the religious morality and ethics doesn’t hold grounds if an individual is hallucinating from hunger. Just look in the jungle, all creatures disrespect each others territories when they are hungry. Even God becomes non existent when the survival is at stake.
Global warming related survival will create refugees and technology related advances would create job loss. Both have the potential to create hungry mouths. If humanity is not ready spiritually even that so called 1% would face security issues. All these changes are coming to our earth and I repeat, start thinking of belonging to humanity instead of a group of people because our future problems can’t be fenced in.
