If you start to dig into the reasons of our conflicts including religious ones they mostly are related to the politics of our belonging groups. Humanity has been and still is facing religious differences even after gaining thousands of years of civilization. Interestingly individual and humanity have very little to do with our differences main culprit is the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups. Even to this day with all the democracies and isms we still don’t question our belonging groups and gladly do their politically dirty work regardless of our individual spiritual awareness.
We not only commit spiritual crimes in the name of our groups we as groups allow our individuals to be exonerated for the crimes they would generally be charged within their own societies. We sweep everything including spiritual crimes under the rug and we even politically twist everything to make them heroes. All this politics related prejudice and discrimination puts individuals of both sides to sufferings. They are on the receiving end of pain, groups are political entities so they just blame each other to carry on robbing each others individuals of love. The pain of love loss is felt deep into the individual’s soul so the enraged individuals want who cause them that pain to feel the same pain. So the story goes on indefinitely, people gladly become the fuel to the fire of conflicts. Some times these conflicts can go on for thousands of years like Shea Sunni dispute.
If you look at our lasting conflicts of modern history like Palestine and Kashmir or look at the Shea, Sunni history they all point towards that these conflicts have no religion or nationality but they have one thing in common. Their loyalties to the politics of belonging groups, main denominator for making conflicts to last long is the individual love loss and related pain. Love loss has the powerful impact on the individual so they are willing to sacrifice their personal compassion and sense of justice to do the dirty work for their political groups. Usually it has nothing to do with how you look, who you belong to or how you pray but everything to do with the politics of it all. Proof is in the Shea and Sunni dispute, they belong to the same religion but their politics of belonging to a group of people has been a wound that has not been allowed to heal. Their leaders preach to keep scratching that wound every year so it doesn’t heal. They play with belonging individual’s feelings and related hormones to keep the memories of love loss alive regardless of how long ago it had happened.
Belonging to humanity as a human individual is natural thing but our leaders inspire us to the point that our individual chemicals spill over to make us individually passionate instead of being compassionate. Everyone of us has been played by the politics of belonging because we all naturally have the need to change, evolve and belong to humanity as a whole. Other than being a human being all other identities are installed identities and are for political reasons. Most of our identities have been installed within us from our tender age so we really believe what our group is doing is right. That is why we can’t just stand up individually to become a human being who belongs to humanity. Today we are our color, our gender, our nation, our religion, our sects and nothing but. Yet in reality we all should be a true human being belonging to humanity as a whole. People have been and are still suffering from the punishments of the crime they have not been responsible for. For example being born into certain group of people can not be a crime because logically no one has a say in, when, where and to whom they are going to be born. That clearly means they did not commit any crime so if they are punished because of political conflicts its going to be a spiritual injustice. Our politics of sense of belonging is responsible for us to be blind of these spiritual crimes because we have been brain washed with the politics of belonging to our groups.
Since being Shea or Sunni is a politically installed and false human identity there should be a need for us all to become a human being first. Not only they have been fighting and killing each other over their political differences but they are doing it for far too long and they are not allowing their individuals to live in present day of dangerous nuclear environment. Personally I believe this is clearly a defiance from Godly and spiritual order of evolution for humanity. Since it is our nature and individual responsibility to evolve spiritually, not following that would be against our nature. By now humanity should have its ducks in row and should be able to over come its differences. Everything from global warming to infectious diseases and dangers of our war weaponry is pointing and spiritually insisting towards humanity to work as a whole. Unfortunately politics of our sense of belonging to our groups has been and still is a road block or a metaphoric wall in taking the next step towards evolution.
Equal human rights are a life saving treat for humanity and they are liked by everyone because it is directly involving and engaging individual and humanity simultaneously. With the information highway humanity has become closer so equal human rights are rapidly crossing political boundary lines of the world. Would you still treat someone with prejudice and discrimination or mob attack on someone who looks or believes differently than you? Would you take anyone’s life If your group asked you to? Would you join humanity as a whole over your group politics? If not why not? Don’t you have your spiritual awareness to the point that you don’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones. Remember as groups we would never find it unjust because of our politics say so and groups are in it for the power not to lose it.
As I said it before and say it again, it is an individual who is suffering from the love loss which takes them to different level of being a creature and our groups play with us to keep stoking the fires of conflicts. There is no loss for the individual in belonging to humanity but for groups it is a death sentence. In conservative societies they are not letting it happen, not only they are preaching loyalties they are openly threatening treason and shunning of the individual. These are the nations who are also preaching against equal human rights to keep the individual weak and vulnerable. Every group functions under the politics which is based on us an them philosophy so it is automatically tainted with prejudice and discrimination. If it hurts the individual individually the solution is within the individual as well so not doing to anyone what you don’t like done to yourself or to your loved one is the call of today’s time.
If you want freedom don’t ask it as a political entity or as a group because its a group politics regardless so it can be asked from the other side as well. Ask as an individual for equal human rights so you can be respected where every you are or whomever you belong to. Ask to belong to humanity above and beyond group politics. Logically by now with our evolution we should have left our group strength in the bush or cave but our politics of belonging has not been letting us change and evolve to the needs of today’s times. Sure we are still the same creature but unfortunately now we have nuclear and biological weapons so it is dangerous to be a creature with the finger on the nuclear button. We need to become a spiritual entity as we are from within. As creature with group politics and nuclear weapons our present day winning and losing can be devastating for humanity. Just look at Shea Sunni conflict how long they have been at it. Most of the time when a group wins they seek revenge like a hurt individual with chemical discrepancies of love loss.
To me Israeli and Palestinian conflict is not a religious or territory conflict it is all about the politics of sense of belonging to their respected groups because they all live in harmony in western nations. If it can be done in different parts of the world why they can’t do it in their nations? It is all about the politics of installed identities and sense of belonging.
Israelis or should I say Jewish people should learn from the past history with German to be on the receiving end of the same thing what they are doing today so it is not about the state it is all about the equal human rights to all human beings above and beyond the religious or political identities. Kashmir is in the same boat individuals are suffering from no crime of your own. Just to be born in the opposing groups and punished for it is an open spiritual crime of prejudice and discrimination. In today’s real world logically Palestinian cries should remind Israelis of their past history so they don’t do to others what they did not like done to them but politics of sense of belonging is so powerful it even creates generational dementia.
I am not writing this as an extension of certain ideology I am writing for the individuals to wake up and become a CEO so they can be human beings to belong to humanity. If they like equal human rights they should allow it to flourish and stand with them internationally, especially when it comes to their own politics of belonging they should resort to their personal sense of justice.
If you are politically attached to a group of people and consider yourself as an extension of that group you will call a questioning individual a problem but if you are an independent individual you yourself will be asking questions. I personally like to question everything because I want to find the reasons behind our problems so I can talk about them to inform the uninformed.
In this day and age humanity should not have those lingering problems connected to our bush and cave times. Basic question everyone should ask themselves is if we are an evolving entity why can’t we over come our politics of sense of belonging? If you don’t ask this question you are denying God’s will for humanity to evolve. If you think your belonging group’s knowledge is complete, come out of that political fact related pigeon hole and face the reality check, look around and see where human being is today? Thinking about the complete knowledge is political and is not compatible with God given human nature.
Lack of optimism and trust in God or nature is highly individual and personal sense of weakness. Harms and rewards of having faith are always like placebo effects not scientifically proven but individually influential. Just like imagination and ego, both are like double-edge sword they have the potential to cut both ways. Having faith in God does have its merits in reducing stress related illnesses so as a mortal being it is not a small benefit to be ignored.
Then there is a whole world of imagination which can be a poison and medicine as well but one has to explore that world which lies within all of us. By nurturing positive side of it, we can create a placebos effect to heal or even let the imaginary demons destroy us from within. Negative and positive is not only a light of life, it creates and separates human beings from animal based entity. Interestingly by individual’s choice of nurturing spiritual side so it all boil down to the individual choices. Both sides are owned and strongly influenced by the individual, so making choices because of the politics of sense of belonging are still an individual choice. As politically influenced individual would be weaker and a CEO of would obviously stronger so why would someone want to be weak especially in this day and age.
Different schools of thoughts are actual facts of humanity so in the end of the day as a thinking entity we all have to take charge and become the CEO’s of our lives. As we grow up to be an adult no one and I mean no one should have the powers to make decisions for us especially if they have political motives to use you. With equal human rights we all should have a say in our life because as an entity we are not genetically programed.
This old age discussion has been and still is raging on that how much control a human individual has? Sure we have people blaming everyone else but themselves. We credit God for everything we do which I agree to a point but after we have the help to be alive we make decisions to follow our spiritual ways or physical ways. God and Devil are not to blamed for individual’s physical actions because of our free will, and other than the miracles logically every Godly or Devilish act needs human touch to take a physical form. If we exonerate human being for their physicality everything falls flat on its face especially the whole picture of justice system falls like dominoes.
A quote fits here and I quote.
“Quote”,
“If the soul is left in the darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness”. “Victor Hugo. End quote.
It sounds great but personally I disagree with this quote because I believe we, each and every single one of us has the atom of autonomy within which allows us to use our free will and personal sense of justice so with that power human individual is an independent entity and is responsible for making choices. We just need to nurture our spiritual side to become a CEO of our lives to take on our individual responsibilities.
Sure God and spirituality should be part of our mortal life but removing human responsibilities deforms the whole spiritual picture because I believe human does not fit in the mold of all other creatures. Unfortunately our politics of sense of belonging still has the power to override our individuality. Our religious beliefs promote human insignificance and put God and Devil on the top corner of the triangle yet it is the human individual who provides the physicality to all the good or bad of humanity. We add good to God and bad to Devil by contributing physicality to them. Free will related choices are always made by the human individual so clearly choices are owned by the living breathing human individuals.
Education of our rights and wrongs are installed by our belonging groups so it is mostly political. Since it favors a group of people not humanity as a whole this is politically designed and is a built in flaw to nurture group of people. Individuals are intentionally given different scenarios to believe where individual is an extension of an ideology not the main and important character.
That makes them believe to exist just physically where they will feel small, powerless and irrelevant by doing so they disconnect themselves or believe unworthy of the direct connection they have with the source. Religions have played a direct role in this disconnection because a power seeking group of people would want an individual to be subservient, submissive, irrelevant and dependent part of the big picture so God and Devil were switched to the top of the triangle.
Don’t believe me about the human individual’s relevance just remove the living breathing human individual and see what happens to the importance of God and Devil, all the good and bad goes up in the air because there is no one to make it physical or relevant.
On the other hand ask a scientist why do the placebo effects still exist? Why our hormone level fluctuation is connected to our group failure and success? Why are we mortal? Why don’t we know everything there is to know? Answer to all is that we are still evolving so the more we know the more we find out that we don’t know.
Each and every single one of us is capable of having an imagination and remember our imagination is a powerful yet still a personal and individual tool to live a successful mortal life. That is why authoritarian groups want individual not to think for themselves and let their belonging group to take charge of even their imagination. Our leaders give inspiring speeches before sending their belonging individuals to kill and die for the groups. Religious leaders do the same thing and rob the individual’s ability to become the main part of the spiritual picture or become a picture themselves that is all because of the fear of losing their political powers.
All the ingredients are encased within us as a drop which makes the ocean. One can can have an active enough imagination to see themselves as the ocean or in it. One gives real picture of what we are spiritually and other robs that picture and make us part of the ocean of physical life exclusively. Its done by the political game of our nationalism and yes even religions. They say and openly preach to rob individuals of their spirituality along with their ability to help themselves from within. Installed pictures of God rob individuals of self worth and their relevance. They actually believe that they are born sinners and they have to constantly pray for forgiveness.
Understanding reciprocation as practical prayers can take the political powers away from belonging groups so they really have a motive to be against individual liberation and equal human rights. Their politics is to keep the individual weak and vulnerable so they feel insignificant and irrelevant and stick to their groups for security reasons.
Politics of division is an other effective tool used by our groups and that has been and is always based on the prejudice and discrimination. Individually you can accept that or choose to become a CEO of your life and make your belonging group as a department instead of you becoming an extension. When you don’t agree with the policies of your belonging group you can stand your grounds because you don’t want to be in conflict with your atom of autonomy from within. You may be punished or shunned by the group but if you are in clash from within, that can be a worst punishment especially for a mortal being. As you assume your responsibilities of a CEO your imagination is there to help you but it is a duty of a CEO to keep eye on the mortal nature as well. You don’t want to get caught up again and fall victim to the politics of your sense of belonging by nurturing your ego yet at odds with your inner spiritual being.
Remember as human beings our life always has been, is and will be an evolutionary process which requires personal efforts. If as an individual we don’t put those efforts in our lives not only we are left behind by not evolving with time we can do lasting damage to our coming generations as well.
I remember watching Dr. Wayne W. Dyer on TV giving an example of butterfly struggling in the cocoon to build larger wings so it could fly. This can have metaphorical connection with humanity as well because we build bigger muscles by working out with higher resistance. If a worm does not struggle to grow larger wings it just can’t fly to become a butterfly. What is in the future of humanity? Why are we are struggling with our politics of sense of belonging to our groups and wasting all our resources fighting and killing each other. Imagine if all the resources were to be used in other areas like poverty, disease and hunger faced by the humanity how far would we be in our spiritual evolution.
I believe our next step should be to evolve from our barbaric and destructive politics of sense of belonging to our groups and get rid of our prejudicial and discriminatory practices of killing each other. Logically if we are born as a human individual, individually we should belong to humanity as a whole. Politics of our sense of belonging is our cocoon if we don’t break out of it we are going to become victim of global warming or nuclear war. Remember the predicted day of judgment taught by religious people we can get there yet by choice. People who don’t like to put efforts in their evolution they think and believe its all God’s will. My question to them is why don’t they learn something from that struggling worm in the cocoon. God has done the job by taking care of oxygen and functioning body now it is up to us to evolve not only physically but spiritually as well so we can reach our potential. If a worm can become a butterfly what would human be?
After birth and oxygen even as a baby we do our share to move so we can bring in that necessary oxygen to cells to function and grow. Every single cell has its job to potentially evolve to become something what God had meant for them. Just ask why are we so insignificant? Why God and Devil are doing everything for us? Where do we stand in reality? If you start to ask you will find your significance and yes you are the third equation right up there with God and Devil. Remember they are your sides and you put physicality to their existence. If you are not there they lose their importance altogether. If you don’t evolve and carry on to be what you have meant to be you yourself are putting hurdles in your own way.
Politics of belonging to our groups is, that they want to keep us as worms so we don’t fly away on our own. If you learn to fly they don’t have control over you that is what a political group can’t stand. Religion or not it is getting just too complicated for the groups to have strong hold on humanity. Belonging to humanity gives human individual wings. So should you stay in the cocoons as worms? Just ask yourself as a reasonable individual wouldn’t you like to know what you can be and what your potential holds for you by nature? Never forget that it is God’s will that as human beings we are an evolving entity we need personal efforts to fulfill Godly duty. We are not meant to be in cocoons of politics, Period.
