Since my blog is about spirituality it is always going to be about the truth as I see and feel in my soul. I can understand that there would be a difference of opinion but I am stating my truth, if someone knows and sees life in different lens I will agree to disagree. I am proponent of equal human rights because I believe this new paradigm of equal human rights as close to spirituality and to equal justice as it can be. Since most all systems of governing use needed politics they just can’t be pure as spirituality and impartial justice so no governing system should claim to spiritual and pure. That is why I believe all religious beliefs should just stick with spirituality and stop meddling with the political systems.
We bring along free will, Atom of Autonomy and human jewelry like compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love all ingrained genetically within to function in our allotted time. That should put a hell of a lot more responsibilities on the shoulders of an individual. We need to learn to be aware and free of our political influences of belonging groups in our spiritual matters. To me we all need to learn to live and let live so we stop robbing each other of love. We should learn not to do to anyone what we don’t like done to us or our loved ones.
If you are born in a religious family or are a person who like to worship and do good, good for you. If you want to pray, pray because if you believe it helps you, it is all worth it, but don’t put others down or be prejudicial and discriminate against them just because they don’ t believe in God the you do. As human beings it is in our nature to have differences of opinion but we are not evolved enough to the point yet where we can claim that we know everything there is to know. If we simply we accept that we are an evolving entity in a process of evolution. We can respect each other with our spiritual side otherwise we will be acting like animals as we have been doing throughout and even in our present history. We have been killing each other regardless of the level of our religious and social evolution. My question is why can’t we evolve from that place to the next step?. Why our politics of sense of belonging trumps even the calls of nature for humanity to work together.
Our religions messed it up when they strayed from the spirituality by letting politics of sense of belonging to rule their groups to the point that spirituality took a hike from spiritual system. They disregarded equal human rights yet still claimed they were the only path to God. Our nationalism screwed it up as well when they put politics of sense of belonging over their justice systems and spiritual values. Remember spirituality is and at least should be the essence of religions and justice system is the most important part of any successful nation because it keeps politics of prejudice and discrimination in check. We are still evolving to learn that equal justice is desired by every single one of us as individuals. Democratic values can influence and teach our groups by letting them know how we think with equality. Back to the atom of autonomy. Since we all carry that individually we have to learn more about it and use it in our living years.
A long time ago I took kids to McDonald’s. They use to get a coloring sheet with kid’s meals. It had a maze, a picture and then an other picture with the dots and numbers. If you can read the numbers you can connect the dots to create that picture and then color it.
I believe there is a picture for all of us but the numbers are not there so it is the individual who has to connect the dots to create their respected picture. Real picture is there but if you are influenced by your sense of belonging to your groups, you may not allow yourself to follow what you were spouse to be according to your hidden picture. You will try to follow what you are preached by your belonging groups at your tender age, so you would be influenced by your parents, families or even nations and religions. Not knowing that it has the potential to rob you of your happiness and contentment in the process. Remember you just can’t afford to sacrifice your most important treasure of being mortal. Yes in a mortal life logically happiness and contentment is and should be the most important thing one can achieve.
You may be successful according to the social standers but if you feel no joy from within with what you already have achieved and it is all because of your influences clashing your nature from within.
Being healthy and happy is already is a success and blessings but what I am talking about is not just the physical health it is about all kind of health I am pointing towards, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Same goes for happiness and contentment deep and soul touching happiness. Success is not about what you leave behind but it is all about what you take along, like the satisfaction of being able to reciprocate directly with God which can help you to live a fearless of hell life and which can remove the greed of heaven as well.
Health, Happiness
Success.
If you are lucky enough to become a CEO who can understand the political influences of belonging groups, you will know personal mortality in a way that you can find the right personal picture. That is essential for the individual to live a healthy, happy and successful life even with its mortal nature.
One may lose personal happiness, contentment and eventually even health of all kind by following trends of the time, era and society they are born in. If they try to create a picture of influences they are under and it is not complying with the nature. If you feel that you are successful regardless of your happiness or health it is your personal choice and prerogative but as a mortal being you can’t sacrifice your whole life for the other people’s approval. Nor you can spend whole life trying to fit in, impress or die trying to be admired by them. Why do we do that and pay hefty price for it? It is the phenomenon we all need to understand and come out of it because it has the potential to make individuals do harms to themselves. Like anorexic, bulimic or even a suicide bombers to kill innocent people who had nothing to do to cause them pain.
Imagine giving a picture to the child with no numbers. They would still have to connect the dots to create a picture but would have to rely on their imagination which can be fun but if they are unable to create even the imaginary picture they will get frustrated which could further complicate the problem for both child and society simultaneously.
That is why you can see that there are so many frustrated people in the world. Our politics of sense of belonging is an emotional phenomena of humanity. It is so powerful that even being educated we as individuals don’t care about our health and happiness regardless of our awareness of mortal nature.
We all have an idea in our minds that how we would like our lives to be, but we must understand the impacts our influences first. We should use not only our personal imagination but be aware of our influences and mortal nature simultaneously before connecting the dots. We can also rely on outside sources like advice from our parents or teachers. If we are fortunate and wise enough we can figure out a pretty good picture to be happy. If not we run the risk of messing it up, to the point that we potentially can spend our lives trying to fix it according to our desires while living in discontentment and unhappiness just to find out in the end of the day father time spares no one.
A less-than-perfect picture can create personal struggles they can last an entire lifetime. This frustration can cause adults to act like a child and mess up the whole picture or even worse, walk away from it all. A serious problem connected to out of control sense of belonging.
Patience and accepting nature as a guide is the key to avoiding this situation. You also need to have faith in the picture you were blessed with. You must examine that if your desires are causing you the frustration. Usually the desires are related to the influences of the society or want to be just like someone you admire. You need to accept the fact that nature plays a strong role in your life and everyone has a different life story by nature.
I wrote a blog a long time ago about the Ladder of Horizon and river of time. It was about Inspiration along with appreciation.
Picture yourself that you are climbing an invisible ladder with a whole lot of people above you, you work hard and slowly climbing one step ladder at a time. Too slow for your liking but still moving upward, but there comes a time, no matter what strategy you use or how hard you try you just can’t climb any more. Simply you are stuck. You get frustrated and angry like a kid but still no go. This is where you lose happiness regardless of how high you already have climbed. When you are there where you have lost happiness that is the time for you to look down and see how many millions of people want to be at the spot you already are but you are still unhappy. It is not about how high you have climbed it is your competitive and unaware nature. Unaware of mortality is part of our installed knowledge and you as a CEO are above all that. If you need to run your computer remember what computer and data are and what you are? You live within the computer which is full of data but it has its expiry date. In order to be comfortable there you will have to come to terms. Look up and compare with the people above you for the inspiration exclusively so you don’t give up and carry on to climb. Then look down to compare with the people below you so you can be appreciative of your blessings. Especially if you want to stay sane in this politically influential times. As a CEO you should know that the biggest kicker for being on that ladder is not the climbing because no matter how high you climb you will eventually fall off of it because of your mortality.
Your mortal nature can teach you that is if you want to learn about your mortality and remember this ladder you are climbing is a ladder of horizon which has no end but you do so making decisions as a mortal helps to put things in perspectives.
If everyone would desire the same thing how would the society function? It would be strange if everyone became a police person or a layer or doctor who would build the houses you get my point. Simply it is not practical, if everyone get what they think most people would want to be successfully happy but in human realities it is not so. A whole lot of successful people according to the majority of people should be happy but that is not the case. That is why I believe happiness and contentment of the individual should be the measuring scale regardless of the profession.
Being successful in one area like finance, build big muscles, set world record in sports or being religious to extreme is not good enough for a mortal CEO. Remember without the happiness or health there is no success. Since politically savvy belonging groups always benefit from individual’s sacrifices so they are going to promote individual insignificance and sacrifice. Sure it is noble to sacrifice for the mass but it is all about the reciprocation. One hand clap does not have any sound.
God would not have granted a free will to the human individual if God did not want us to be a free will holding CEO. It may seem I am preaching all about selfishness but to the contrary I believe in reciprocation between God and individual directly and at the same time equal human rights. Not only between individuals but between individual and groups of all kind including Corporations, Communities, Nations, and Religions as well so no it is not about being selfish it is being spiritually aware and fair. Mass has been trampling over the individual human rights for thousands or millions of years but remember we have to evolve to seek justice, that blind one without the political influences.
As an individual you need to map out your life with the vision of a successful CEO who could mange all departments with equal and balanced attention. It may be hard at times but you are born as a CEO, you have the potential to achieve it. Each and every one of us has the responsibility and the ability to judge and make choices with the gift of free will.
If you have neglected the department of health or spirituality along the way because of you were too busy taking care of other departments. You may regret latter in life and become unhappy and discontent by losing to the sickness. Without health there is no happiness and with out nurturing your spiritual side, deeper happiness and contentment of life are unachievable.
It is hard to deal with mortal nature and be happy but still no matter what it is, it is same for all so it is a matter of joy and happiness with mortality for all period. Why some can and some can not, it is all because we have it all wrong when we want to be somebody or something we’re not. Always seek happiness and contentment because that is what brings you to connect the right dots of your hidden picture.
Society places a lot of pressure on us, gives us high hopes to achieve yet a lack of faith pushes the individual to sacrifice and spend whole life as if everything is on the horizon which never can be reached. Don’t get stuck into it because before you figure it out it could be too late. We are in this world where the salesman mentality rules: Push, push, push, and you will succeed, succeed to get what? Hopefully its happiness and contentment otherwise mortal nature can be a big and disappointing problem.
Just think for a minute about what success means to you. It’s happiness in all parts of life. Having all the money in the world will not bring about happiness just ask a depressed individual. If you were to have a terminal illness you would realize that you are not here for eternity so why not think mortality as a reality so you can be forced to make small stuff small and seek joyful moments to make the best of given life time.
Life is about more than connecting the dots to complete the desired picture. You have a limited time for every thing. You just have to break it down into our 24-hours a day and all the way down to the moment you are living in because that is the moment you are in control. Understanding that alone can allow you to add a little more happiness into everyday life.
You have to work, sleep, eat and still leave some time for fun and joy. You have to be a believer of your picture to be complete as it is in that moment of your control.
Don’t be afraid to let fate play a role in your life especially if you are a scientist or atheist remember you fall in the same category so happiness and contentment in all departments of life is as important for you as it is for all the mortal beings. Unless you think a cause or opposing to others like religious extremists is a game you need to play, play so but never to forget your mortal nature because our awareness of mortality can make us humble.
Whether it is religion or any other way of governing our past and current systems have been designed to make the individual as an insignificant part of the bigger picture. Yet actual reality for you is the opposite of this accepted truth because all our groups start with the individual just like a cloth is made from a thread. God is in the same vicinity accumulation of fivers of all physically alive human beings, remember a ghost town needs people to be relevant.
Whether it is God, Devil, Prophet, King, Nation, Religion, Ism, Gender, Community or a Gang if the individual loses importance the whole fabric becomes weaker. Just imagine a cloth is made of thread, pulling one or two or ten is not going to make any difference but you can’t just keep pulling them out because eventually it has the ability to destroy the cloth or make it even disappear altogether. If no individual left material just disappears.
My point is that since actions of God and Devil require physicality to be meaningful and human individual is the one who holds that card. Logically without the human being these things just don’t make any sense. Without the physicality of human individual their importance disappears as well just like the cloth.
In reality human individuals lend their hands, backs and shoulders to make things happen. It would be a big problem if the human beings are not there to perform physically. That is why in my philosophy human individual is the third equation not some irrelevant, insignificant being who is a born sinner.
Today we know natural disasters are not the jobs of God and Devil because our realities are growing rapidly and telling us the different stories. I would be straying from the topic if I get into this subject. Right now I want to point towards the importance of human individual in the grand scheme of life.
Free will and the ability to choose their good or bad actions of the time and era they are born in, is as important as as good and bad itself. Remember our good and bad change as well with our evolution. Today with spread of equal human rights racism, gender bias or any other kind of prejudice and discrimination is becoming progressively against the social rules of our societies.
My main focus is on the mortal nature of the individual’s life and how should one spend their mortal years with personal regulation and responsibilities. That is why I am digging into the reasons of why do we do the things we do. If loyalties to the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups is the root of the problems we as an individual has the right to join the humanity as a whole to address it. Problems like discrimination and prejudice are not so good when you are at the receiving end so spiritually they should be labeled as crimes. If we don’t speak against some thing we don’t like done to us we will stay stuck in the same old politics as we have been for thousands of years.
As I said before we all have to know ourselves what and who we are individually and as an entity? How important and valuable are we in the grand scheme of life? Remember you are the main character of your life story and you are the CEO who looks after your interests. It is not going to be your belonging group because their interest is to make you as insignificant as possible in your eyes so you feel insecure enough to stick with them. I am reminding you of your fiver and that atom of autonomy. That is what they are after and if you, yourself don’t value it you are part of the problem as well. Become aware of it spiritually so you not only get comfortable in your skin you gain some self respect along the way.
As I described above if God and Devil’s work is not done without the help of living breathing human individual how can a group of people have the power to make the individual so unimportant and insignificant? How is it possible that we are good for God dead not alive when we actually perform for God in our living years. I am talking about the heaven remember you have to die first before you go there.
It is the individual who is using free will so regardless of the influences it is the individual who is responsible to deal with the politics of sense of belonging. If the individual who lets their group use them we don’t have the group problem we have an individual problem. First solution for the individual would be to acknowledge and understand that there are problems related with the individual’s insignificance and insecurities from within. What I am explaining should help the individual to recognize the value of being alive and physically working with God to solve personal insecurities related insignificant .
Lets start it with the value of the individual who is making good or bad happen. It is more than hypothetical remember most of us connect good to God and bad to Devil.
By removing human beings, what would happen to the idea of God or Devil? Would they exist or would they disappear altogether? Would they mean anything if the human individual is not there to reap the benefits of believing in God or to suffer from bad human acts related to Devil?
Start asking this question to yourself as an individual because as a group you are not going to get a straight or satisfactory answer. Politics of belonging is too important and powerful for the groups to let go of it. That is because as groups we have a lot to lose if the individual becomes smart enough to question everything.
Become a CEO of your life so you can see and understand the reasons hidden behind the social and religious rules. That would be helpful to gain that wisdom which can help one to navigate through social, religious and spiritually moral and mortal life. That brings me to the first triangle of the blog where human individual is on the top corner God and Devil on the bottom two. With the free will human individual can dictate how much God and how much Devil is in their individual life. We can see that in everyday people who are believing or rejecting God all together and yet by choice.
Human being
Devil God
I place human being first because if we connect good with God and bad with Devil that makes good and bad as actions of collective or individual human being. Since physical actions are taken by the human individual in living years they disappear with the human being who dies. If our good and bad actions are not committed by the human individual we potentially can still exist as a neutral being but it is all depending on how you look at God and Devil in your life.
If you believe God lives with in you or out side of you, things can change dramatically for you individually.
Like these days a whole lot of people don’t even believe in God’s existence regardless of their good and bad personal actions. Working to get paid is a good and spiritual thing to do because it is helping someone in need. Even that someone is helping you to pay your bills and this good and spiritual thing is done regardless of anyone’s belief system.
Helping someone out of your nature is good and that good is regardless of your believing in God or not. That way actions of the individual cross the boundaries of religions so it is one of the universal and spirituality base human traits. That means you can believe whatever you want to but being a decent individual is not limited to gender, race nation or religion. Being decent is part of spiritual values and these values are universal and they can cross throughout the humanity equally.
Since spirituality crosses the lines of belief systems it is related with our human values or what I call it human spiritual jewelry. Every one who is a decent human being is wearing it. That is why no one should judge people with prejudice and discrimination. It is not who and what you belong to but what and who you are as an evolved, or not so evolved, decent or indecent individual should make the difference.
Who goes to hell or heaven, since it is in the area of where you will have to die to find out for sure, it should be left open yet we see people judging each other wish and curse each other all the time as if it is a minor thing in the society. Interestingly we don’t even know what or how we will act after we die. We are told that there would be rivers of honey and milk, would we be able to enjoy those things as spirits or will we have our physical bodies and physical world like earth again if that is the case. That sounds like reincarnation to me. What would it be is not clear and we are told to believe blindly so you can become believer. Every thing is fine with me but I like to know more about it because I personally don’t want to use God for political purposes. Are we connecting carrot and stick philosophy all the way even with God. Politically using individual is one thing but using God. Well you get my point.
My problem is not whether God and Devil exist or not my problem is why human individual is made so insignificant and irrelevant in the grand scheme of life and treated like an animal in training by the religions? Why are we using carrot and stick philosophy to train a spiritual entity? Why after life is more important than living yeas? To me we are useful to God in our living years not when we don’t have physical body to perform physical tasks. Why God and Devil are more important than the human individual if they can’t help the humanity without the helping hands backs and shoulders of human individual in everyday life?
In past people have sacrificed living breathing human beings in the name of their belief systems yet to me we are helping hands of God. In present days we don’t sacrifice per say but we still kill each other in the name of our religions. We still think others are going to hell and we are going to heaven just by believing in certain religion regardless of our personal character or actions. Some of the religious people make us believe that we are all born sinners whether we have committed any sin or not. Even as a baby we are condemned as a sinner unless we follow the religion we can’t go to heaven. That makes me think of a question does that mean even God is prejudiced and discriminatory?. Regardless of what one believes we should not undermine human individual’s importance in what is happening in reality of our living years. Lets argue about the after life in after life.
Remember we are not genetically programed so no we are not like warrior ants or worker bees. We brought free will along and we have the atom of autonomy from before birth so questioning is in our nature from God. Everything else is politically tainted human knowledge, especially when it is mixed in every department of human existence.
An other fact of humanity is that we are not a done deal. We are a project in process because of our evolutionary nature. Our every single building is a building in process or at least it should be as an accepted truth. Our evolutionary nature is a fact and it should be taught by our belonging societies as a truth. That is not too much to ask but that is where politics of belonging groups show up just to make the individual weak and vulnerable so they can be controlled.
Religions were spouse to be there for spiritual education to make human beings evolve to be wise enough to understand and wear human jewelry and become decent human beings individually and collectively. Just look around in the history and see what happened you can clearly see that they became ruling authorities because power corrupted even the spirituality. They fought wars and are still fighting and killing each others innocent individuals for thousands of years, yet in the name of same God who needs people to make spiritual things turn into physical reality.
Regardless of the field every human knowledge logically is subject to evolve so believing in our religions and constitutions as ultimate knowledge of humanity is not natural for humanity. Humanity needs spirituality and justice systems on one hand and on the other hand it needs political governing systems to accommodate all human beings from all walks. If justice system is blind and equal for all human individuals it should not be meddled with politics. If decency is taught by the spirituality in the foundation with equal human rights it does not matter what and how you worship so no politics into the religion and no politics into the justice systems.
Don’t believe me just look around and see the progress humanity has made other than our religions and constitutions we are constantly changing.
Constitutional amendments are happening but not without the fight, since religious knowledge is not changing we get into pickle whenever we need to deal with the problems of evolving humanity like present drive of equal human of the world is driving conservative societies or groups crazy, internet related crimes are an other out of control subject and then our medical advances always run into trouble with religious acceptance.
We are spouse to evolve and constantly evolve, it is happening and we are doing that but there has always been and even this day and age we still have a certain segment of population among us who resist changes. Like our extremely religious people and political parties with conservative agendas who want their votes would keep people from accepting modern day changes.
Our big problem is our politics of sense of belonging which had been and still is a powerful human phenomenon. It has been so powerful that it had flipped our main triangle to upside down. You have be a CEO to understand the impacts of fundamental changes it brings.
Devil God
Human being
How did that happen? In simple words our politics of sense of belonging started to use politics of fear so the individual stay loyal to the belonging groups. God, Devil and human individual all got used by the politically savvy people in the name of political control.
Does that mean God and Devil don’t exist? If you look at the humanity as a whole each fiver adds up to so much power that it can corrupt even the spiritual people. I believe in the existence of God but I look at God differently. To me our free will makes us choose to not only believe but work as God’s work horses to make spiritual things happen physically.
This is where free will makes and should make human individual a choice maker. If individual is spiritually aware and is a CEO to know their morality and mortality they can’t be used politically. Weak, vulnerable and fearful who thinks mortality is not a fact will choose politics of sense of belonging to groups in order to feel secure, fit in, impress or want to be admired by the belonging group.
If we look at our make up critically, we have brought along free will and atom of autonomy from before birth and our actions are chosen by us as an individual. Mass knows that very well so they used politics to keep the individual religiously obedient but spiritually unaware. By using individuals weakness and vulnerability they flipped the triangle upside down. That is how God and Devil became more important than the human individual.
Since education of the individual comes from the society or the group they belong to, that made individual’s strength questionable especially if they have been brain washed by their belonging authorities. In the absence of sense of freedom human individual only knows sense of belonging so get in trouble from within. Since we all have spiritual sense of justice as well any injustice done by us can cause internal problems for us. Knowing sense of freedom as well as sense of belonging is required but that can’t happen if the individual is not a CEO.
