I believe we all are the CEO’s of our lives but most of us can be persuaded by the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups. I have been talking up this subject in my blog posts for years because I feel most of our prejudice and discrimination related problems are connected to our individual weakness. As a CEO of our life project we all need to understand the importance of balancing all departments of life especially when it comes to sense of belonging and sense of freedom. How to live a mortal life individually is our personal responsibility especially if you personally feel strong influences are being pushed upon you. Our belief systems aside our nationalism and racial belonging can have an hold on you. Everything including our taught knowledge, installed data and political affiliations belong to our individual responsibilities. To live our life comfortably in our mortal skin is not only an individual right it is a personal responsibility above all the taught knowledge. If your politics of sense of belonging is overwhelming and leads you to commit spiritual crimes in the name of your belonging group to create make you prejudicial and discriminatory which can cause you to live with guilt, its time to say no to that education of divisions.
Look at your fiver or atom of autonomy critically, then you look at your umbilical cord if it is still in tacked. As you seek the answers to these questions, you will find that being free makes you a foundation of physical humanity and simultaneously you are the thread of spiritual fabric of God. Without you everything falls apart contrary to our false and accepted truths. It is not a blind faith it is logical because without the individual there is no group nor the need to be good or bad so God and Devil lose their importance.
Our belonging groups especially the political ones have been working very hard to discredit that. Our religions are notorious in that area because they discredit clearly evident human legitimacy in the larger scheme of life. We all have to learn to respect that little Godly part of us we carry within. It is not limited to individual exclusively we need to understand that as groups as well to value individual. If we are unhappy individually we lose our self-esteem and become insecure. As collection of insecure and spiritually inept individuals we openly accept prejudicial and discriminatory political policies and aggressively participate in our conflicts as if we are not an independent spiritual entity but just a physical extension of a group of people. Our politics of sense of belonging not only robs us from our self-esteem it robs us from our spiritual side as well. Our political religions are no exception just look at even the so called monks, if you look for the meanings of monk it is about not caring about anything other than spirituality. Their spirituality has been robbed from them by the politics of sense of belonging. That is why I like to talk about politics of our sense of belonging to our groups.
Our divisive social education is designed to create unhappiness and spiritual discontentment for not only the individual but related crimes for humanity as well. We become aware of death as we reach adulthood which adds to our insecurities to adopt a controlled living life style. Exactly the opposite a mortal should do. Adding a literal clutter and metaphoric infections to our ways of thinking as we grow up. If you clear all the clutter and look at life as a child, you can have a worry free life but our realities are that we are grown up and are mortals. Child is not a child anymore, not because of physical growth but because of our accumulated and installed flawed knowledge. We all have responsibility to question and we owe ourselves to seek solutions for our flawed ancestral knowledge. Yet we keep egotistically defending our flawed ancestral knowledge. Is it our flawed knowledge, chemistry or lack of spiritual awareness or all the above we all have to do some soul searching. With the popularity of equal human rights it is time for the individual to question the reasons of our problems.
Personally I don’t need to gain respect from my belonging group if they want me to be a non questioning obedient to them or even God, I value more a respect from myself by doing the right things and living my life spiritually and connect to God with practical prayer and live practically reciprocating.
If I am reciprocating and pulling my share of responsibilities, I should not have the need to be fearful of God or hell nor should I be greedy of heaven. Especially staying comfortable in our mortal skin we all have the ability to create heaven in our living years by eliminating fear related stresses and guilt of life. Our stress and guilt play a big role in robbing our happiness and contentment. Not a good place for a mortal being so we have to be aware of its powerful pull which leads us to a guilt related living hell. An interesting reality because you don’t have to be dead to feel the heat from within. If you want to find out about the real hell on earth just ask a spiritually damaged war veterans who committed spiritual crimes in the name of their nations and religions.
Remember the physicality is required for spirituality to be a reality otherwise it has no value and is up in the air just like God and Devil. To live a spiritually happy and content mortal life one has to be physically functioning to receive spiritual rewards. Remember all the promised and heavenly things require physical body to be enjoyed so if we are going to get an other chance to be in heaven why are we wasting this one on killing each other to earn a spot for self and make others life a living hell.
No matter what you have been taught by your religious leaders, since shell has to crack to start and finish life, either way physical shell has been traditionally discarded if there is no spirit any more so the job is done by nature not by us individually. As a human individual you just can’t value physicality exclusively nor you can value spirituality without the physicality. This unique spiritual clap needs both hands to make the difference for a mortal being individually, collectively and even for God.
Our real fears are related with not accepting our mortal nature, if you already know that you have a temporary life shouldn’t you be humble enough to value yours and life of others. If you live a life of a CEO automatically your fear should come down because you understand and believe in realities of life without political influences.
You should also understand and separate politics and spirituality, so scenarios of heaven, hell and punishments of grave are the realities you only will find out about after you die and remember no one comes back to tell you about these religious realities and accepted truths. You just have to believe in them blindly. When it comes to that you are expected not to think and question because you spouse to become a submissive and irrelevant follower who does not question authority. As a CEO you have to know the politics of fear and control behind all our traditions, customs and rules of that authority.
A political group who’s intention is to keep the individual weak and irrelevant can tell you, that you are meaningless, unimportant, irrelevant and are a born sinner regardless of its long term impact on your self-esteem, mental, physical, and spiritual health. To me being a human being is being relevant in grand scheme of life to the point that you are the one fundamental fact that without you everything even God and Devil become irrelevant.
By one you are expected to submit totally so you can be forgiven for the sins you have not committed and the other one tells you, you will go to hell and even be punished in the grave so bow down, submit and stop questioning. Really, I personally put God at higher levels than that because even myself as a reasonable individual would not punish someone innocent because of hidden agendas of political control and power.
One thing to remember that your fiver or Atom of autonomy is valuable to you and all groups because it is the foundation of any powerful entity, it is the thread which makes the fabric of God meaningful. Whether it is a nation or a religion they all fall into the political category if they don’t respect the individuals importance. Logically if you take the individuals out the whole group falls apart and loses its integrity. That is the reality of the group so it is fearful of losing powers. If the individual is fearful, insignificant, irrelevant and has no self-esteem politics of fear can strengthen the group to the point that individual would do the dirty deeds of the groups, so the story goes on.
Politics of fear has been and still is used yet openly for thousands of years without any opposition until this recent equal human rights phenomenon brought out and are spoken against our dirty politics of prejudice and discrimination related differences. These days questions are asked left and right, even Pope politically gave in and accepted homosexuality and abortion along with other pressing present issues humanity is dealing with. Even if you are a passionate follower with your blind faith, still it is your personal and individual responsibility to read through all the politics.
They are after your fiver yet they want you to believe that you are worthless and insignificant. Point is that if you believe that you are worthless and insignificant you would be easier to control and can be herded as a sheep so a group can use you for their dirty deeds. Group would have all the power and say in your life so remember if it is not you, who benefits from all that politics. Why that control is sought out by group leaders and why individual is kept weak and vulnerable? Why questioning people are disliked by the religious leaders and why they get upset when someone calls them out for their asking to have a blind faith. They keep telling you that you are worthless yet they want your fiver. Look at the majestic buildings and money laundering of religions yet you still can’t find God in there. Recently in northern Ontario a church building was on sale for one dollar, what is happening? Why can’t God pay Godly bills. It is because God is within the people not in man made buildings.
As Bullay Shah said and I quote.
“ Masjid tah they munder tah they tah they jo kuj tehenda
Dil na kisay da tahwin bundya Rub dillan vich rahnda..
Quote, “Demolish the mosque, demolish the temple, demolish any thing you can and want,
Don’t demolish someone’s heart because God lives there”.
Never mind demolishing hearts, by killing each other we rob each other of everything including love and life in the name of our religions yet God lives in hearts of people.
First groups rob individual of self-esteem by making them dependent on the group, then install false self-esteem by preaching that their group is the strongest and best. It clearly means individual’s self-esteem can go up and down with the success or failure of the group. If it comes down to that religions would claim that their way is the only way to God. Again it is all political because a weak individuals would seek to attach themselves to something majestic like a stronger group, nation, or God. If that weak individual can’t find strength from within they fulfill that need by joining groups and even do believe wholeheartedly that God is in their corner so being prejudiced and discriminatory is inevitable.
If God does not show up for them when needed the whole picture of self-esteem and inner spirituality falls apart which was false to begin with, to me their problem is not only related to their belief system but it is related to how they view themselves. They would always seek to join something majestic and never see themselves as majestic entity. If the individual themselves think as part of a group instead of being a crucial part of Godly picture they would become internally and externally worthless to themselves and that is our foundational problem. We not only can be swayed and used by our political groups we look down at our own selves with disrespect. If we look at ourselves just physically and compare even with same sized dog or any other creature we would feel inferior but by realizing our spiritual side we can see our real value that helps us to tame the largest of the internal and external beasts. So physically we may become and are a drop in the ocean but with the help of internal spirituality we are an ocean in a drop.
Regardless of how you view yourself, being a mortal we need to have a belief system which helps us to spend this temporary time with confidence, self-esteem and being comfortable in our mortal skin. That comfort comes from having a belief system. I am not talking about believing in any one particular political religion exclusively, I am talking about spirituality which crosses lines of religions to make everything universal and connects you directly to God.
One way or the other you still will have to believe into something because we don’t know everything, sure there are chances that you can become an atheist but still you fall into the same predicament where you don’t really know everything. Remember it is all because of our continuously evolving nature that really means that all human knowledge and I mean all including religious knowledge is subject to change with our evolution. That is why spiritual principles like don’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones should be respected because they are universal and are not bound by the politically infected groups of people but belong to humanity as a whole.
One thing is for sure that as human beings we have an evolutionary nature which means no mater what you believe it is subject to change because of our evolving knowledge. We may not grow horns or wings but from bush, caves and jungle to high rises buildings to concrete jungle to every other progress humanity has made is a clear sign of our constant evolution.
Whether God created everything or not, whether that scientific theory of the marble exploded or not our real and main reality is our individual and mortal life regardless of the era we are born into. It is not as a group but as an individual because of our individual happiness and contentment. Since we are all mortals and the responsibilities of our temporary journey lands onto our individual shoulders so how to live or pass this temporary time without any spiritual satisfaction can be empty, impotent or harmful individually. Being unhappy, unfulfilled and discontent regardless of all the facilities of life can be a sad story of a mortal being because it is going to end regardless.
Should you be taking someones life over your belief system just to be proven wrong? Ask this question while putting yourself on the receiving end. Arrogance of the politics of sense of belonging is proven by our prejudicial and discriminatory actions so take responsibility and own your actions don’t hide behind your group and especially don’t blame God or Devil for your actions. Always remember you came to life with an automatic blessings of free will, your atom of autonomy and the individual who has the potential to kill you with guilt.
Whether God is an external entity or exists within the individual, either way killing someone is actually robbing God himself because taking a working hand away is robbing God one individual at a time. Now the question is why? There can not be a spiritual reason so it is all human politics of sense of belonging to the groups.
Instead of installing hope and optimism political religions give you doom and gloom of ending the world and hell to keep control over you if you don’t stick with the group or don’t follow the orders and rules you are threatened to be shunned or even killed. By all means groups rob individual of self-esteem, personal importance and significance so they can feel insecure to stick with the group. That is one hundred percent politics.
If you are hopeless and insecure, it is the hope and security you are seeking, which sure is not in the man made buildings of religions it is in the man kind. Where humanity and God is all rolled up into one. Proof is in the feelings of heaven when you have helped someone. That is where you can value yourself and that is because of your atom of autonomy or fiver. Remember everyone is in the same boat but somehow you are blessed a little more than others so helping someone during their difficult time is as spiritual as it can be. Religions preach that as well but there are sense of belonging related political strings attached.
You are born like everyone else, you get taken care by the humanity’s progress when you were vulnerable so when you become stronger you should take care of humanity if you see someone vulnerable. You are dependent on the oxygen, water, food and love just like everyone else. You eat, drink get old, sick and die just like everyone else so that is your real reality not being prejudicial and discriminatory. You can believe whatever you want to but that does not change your realities period. You can live in fear of sin and be submissive to your religions or not that real reality is part of our spiritual existence.
Building majestic buildings by the help of individual fivers of the willing individual is great success of the politics yet God had nothing to do with all that even full of people buildings can’t be spiritually fulfilling if there are no practical prayers. Helping the needy in difficult times on the other hand is the real deal because that is pure spirituality which does not need to show the majestic buildings externally.
Now the question is where do you fit in this grand scheme of life?
If you believe in all what you have been taught to believe, you will stay in the same situation. God and Devil will stay on the top corners for you and human individual like you will stay insignificant, irrelevant and be used politically by other human beings. Remember God is spiritual and spirituality has no politics non what so ever. When prejudice and discrimination is part of your belief system it is political not spiritual so God can not be biased, not for any individual, group, nation or even religions. If you fight over God you already have missed your spiritual boat.
Since there is no confidence and trust left in human individual who follows and finds strength in belonging to groups that is why there is no shortage of people having extreme beliefs. This lack of understanding leads to disrespect of human life and is desired by the politically inspired religious leaders so they start to install it all in tender years of the individual. By doing that individuals loyalties can be guaranteed so the religious leaders are able to take advantage and talk about the doom and gloom of the day of destruction openly to scare the followers right from the get go.
Since I am an optimist I believe humanity would get its act together and fly beyond all the boundaries of pond politics where we have been kept by our political nations and religions. With equal human rights we are already working to flip the triangle beck to its original right side up where human individual is valued for their significance in giving physicality to spiritual actions.
If you carry your emotional baggage of being weak and vulnerable because of the installed knowledge from your tender age and aren’t aware of it, you have to learn to assume the responsibilities as you become an adult so you can become a CEO to drive the car of your life yourself.
If you are under the influences of emotions, you are focused on one department of life and driving requires attention for the task at hand. It would be like drunk driving where you can hurt yourself or hurt others emotionally in the process. Regardless of what happens in your personal life driving the car of your life safely still lands on your individual shoulders. Logically you just can’t punish yourself or others because of uncontrollable events or circumstances because you are just a mortal human being trying to drive your car for a temporary period. I am keep reminding you about not to do to someone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones.
Always remember that not everyone acts in the same manors in similar circumstances so if you feel more pain than others it is a sign that you like to have total control while driving your car. You believe that others are just like you and there is no room for accidents and other people’s mistakes. If you think everything is in control just focus on the oxygen you are taking in to even think and feel being alive. Think of space is not falling on you, think about the complexity with having ten trillion cells of your own with thousands of genes and hundred trillion bacteria with millions of genes you carry within and finally think about your mortal nature. If human beings had control we would have conquered mortality by now. Sure we have gained more control with knowledge as we have evolved but never to forget your mortal nature is still a mortal nature so you can and you have to enjoy your car ride regardless of your installed knowledge.
I by no means try to make any judgment but I am trying to point out personal responsibilities of driving the car of our lives. Remember drunk driving is a crime and so it should be. Committing spiritual crime in the name of your nation and religion is still a crime and you individually are responsible for your actions because you have been granted free will.
Say someone cuts you off during driving you get angry and can’t stop thinking about the idiot who did not follow the driving rules, to the point that your attention is compromised and you get into an at fault accident and hurt yourself, if not physically it would be financially. You can’t go to court and say I was angry because someone had just cut me off. Responsibility still lands on your shoulders regardless of your mental state. Sure we have rules and limitations in our rules as well but the severity of the situation can play a big role. If you get hurt or hurt others should be a matter of concern, so should cutting someone off during driving be a crime? What if that person who had cut you off is dealing with the same issues as well so in the end of the day focus is required for driving your metaphoric car of your life.
In reality life is literally like that, you can get mad at someone and hurt yourself in other areas of your personal life or worse hurt others. Since we carry our spiritual side from within our animal traits like emotions and especially anger and guilt are our personal issues and they can not be left on God or Devil they can only be dealt as personal and inner demons personally.
You can blame all you want on someone else but that someone has long been gone. Now how do you deal with it? It is your personal responsibility which would take some soul searching on your part, that means answers are still from within you. Becoming humble and forgiving is as personal as it can get so is driving car of your life recklessly according to the advice of your mullah or priest.
If someone has done you wrong and you can’t do anything externally about it, learn to do something internally and that is not to let it bother you personally to the point that you don’t get into accident to hurt yourself further.
Now if you think like this in all departments of your life, like love triangle, love loss or your political sense of belonging to your groups like nations and religions you would have no long lasting effects on your mortal life which can keep stress levels down. Since you would be able to separate spirituality from the politics you would have no greed of heaven or fear of hell and God. That lack of fear and stress would put some quality in your mortal years which otherwise you would have suffered from.
Our differences are related with not knowing everything related assumptions and their connections to our chemical and emotional reactions. Logical reasons of us not finding God clearly or scientifically are in our inabilities to use our potential brain powers. People are oceans apart in their points of views because of their political belongings to their groups and that sense of belonging has deep roots into our chemically influenced emotions. We think differently and use brain at different levels because the proof is in different levels of education and jobs, yet interestingly at the same time we still have resounding placebo effects in medical science and spiritual satisfaction regardless of different belief systems. On the other hand desire to follow our religions blindly is a fact as well as lack of understanding God altogether. Remember we still kill each other over our differences even sometime in the name of God.
These are those emotional people who historically disregarded human life and even sacrificed human beings for God. If they were given a chance today they would continue even in today’s world. Personally I believe as we evolve we should have more respect for human life because all human individuals are playing their part in converting spirituality into physical actions knowingly or not.
If we feel deep pain from our love loss individually then why are we doing the dirty political work of our groups. Why are we still killing each other and keep robbing each other of love? We would not be able to take the next step into our evolutionary scale for peace until we over come our politics of sense of belonging to our groups and join humanity as a whole.
Since I look at life as an evolving process so there is no perfection but at the same time I acknowledge that the seekers of perfection help us to discover and forge ahead in our vast number of directional knowledge. That may not be good for them individually because of the mortal nature but humanity as an organism still can benefit from their efforts. Remember as mortal if one can’t find perfection for themselves and pass on during the process they may not find satisfaction personally but they still leave their knowledge behind for others to benefit.
I find it strange that if someone comes up with something like blood transfusion, stem cells or artificial insemination etc or whatever can help living people should be considered valuable and adopted by humanity without any questions. Unfortunately historically we always have a certain segment of people against our evolution related progresses. Interestingly they join in and use all the human discoveries when it suits them. Personally I believe we all should leave room and accept our evolving nature as a physical reality of humanity, and yes even in our belief systems because we can’t be selective in our evolution. Our selectivity usually comes from our religious people. This holding back has been a trademark of our religious fanatics and is related with the philosophy of control.
I look at life with logical questions so to me all the progress humanity has made is actually directly connected to God because as a human individual, each and every single one of us religious or not is dependent on that oxygen and functioning body. Both are given to us as blessings and we just can’t function without them so our each breath is in harmony with God’s will so any and everything we do good and bad is a joint venture. Since everything we do is a joint and evolving venture we personally need to evolve spiritually so we can evolving good and bad like our prejudice and discrimination is a crime today because of equal human rights but in past it was the way of life. Do I blame God about human actions not quite but we sure need that help to breath and function independently to commit our good and bad.
Religious people say even a leaf on the tree can’t move without the God’s will yet in the same breath they preach barbarically harsh punishments for the individual in religious societies. To me these contradictions are related with the use of free will so where does the individual really stand gets quite murky. As a group of people we should be clear just like our justice systems but as an evolving entity going through changing times we need to adopt to those changes. Whether it is justice system, constitution or religious rule, whenever needed it should be subjected to change with needed amendments.
If as an individual we have all this constantly evolving knowledge we really need to take charge personally. In order to take charge one has to become a CEO of their life and to recognize personal responsibilities. Believing in our ancestral knowledge is fine until, one way or the other it becomes harmful to our selves and others. Our ancestral knowledge related us and them philosophy has done a tremendous damage to humanity and still is at the foundation of our conflicts so it is still working against humanity. Interestingly we can’t even count the death tole of our politics of sense of belonging related prejudice and discrimination yet we still let our groups drive our personal and individual metaphoric cars. That can only change if we all become CEO’s of our lives and drive sober.
