PHYSICAL REALITY
METAPHORIC REALITY VIRTUAL REALITY
My writing is mostly for the spiritual awareness of the individual, sure I like to know what goes on in the world of politics as well but I am not trying to change people as groups nor I am trying to come up with some new cult. My focus is the modern day individual who is born in the era of equal human individual rights and doing something for global warming instead of believing in metaphorically throwing virgins over the cliffs would please God. I believe an educated individual is more useful to humanity and even their belonging communities so our individual understanding of the politics of sense of belonging can be helpful for not only the individual but humanity as well.
As groups we are a bunch of individuals, so if the individual changes for the better potentially it can effect our group for the better. I know things may not change in my life time but if we keep evolving at our individual level we may bring the changes even collectively. From a barbaric savage to becoming a proponent of equal human rights did not happen over night. Gauging and assessing our changes we already have made in our evolution is evident in the progress of modern day world. Unfortunately we are still entangled in our group politics so our individual insecurities would need to be looked at critically. Remember we are still drawn towards the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups. If we want world peace we want it under the umbrella of our group because individually we are taught to believe that you are secure only when you are surrounded by your belonging groups. Some how we believe our group is our foundation not the other way around so this twisted logic keeps us weak, vulnerable, irrelevant and unimportant yet logically a group’s foundation is the individual. If we all can learn that we would be able to change our group’s political policies. Changes would not come unless individual gets a back bone, addresses the causes of irrelevance and takes responsibility of their personal actions.
I personally don’t like it when an individual is being used and they eagerly and gladly want to be used and yes even if it goes against their own spiritual values. That is why I mostly focus on the individual to understand their value. It may not be popular in this era of politics of sense of belonging but popularity of the equal human individual rights is predicting that an individual would soon be acknowledged and become the main character of everything we do whether it is political or spiritual.
For thousands of years we have been preached vigorously and taught that mass over the individual is the right and spiritual way to live. Whether it was a race, nation or a religion, they all have been demanding and preaching that an individual should be subservient and irrelevant when compared with group. To me it is clearly and logically understandable but still it is political. If it was spiritual it would be based on the equal justice whether it is between individual or between individual and group because in spiritual world equal justice matters. If we all try to look at our personal feelings critically and logically we would start to learn about human insecurities are in the foundation of the politically successful group. Whether its a gang, community, nation or a religion if an individual is personally insecure they would seek security in numbers so while contributing in group’s success they lose their personal importance and self-esteem to be relevant. If you can understand that deep inside of yourself you would have the spiritual understanding of that there is no security for us mortals. Proof of that is clearly seen in the acceptance of disease and death. Our gangs, communities, nations and religions may say a prayers and well wishes but logically and simply can’t do any thing to provide us security from the realities of mortality.
If you can understand all that and come out of your insecurities you may look at your life differently and potentially would be able to become a CEO of your life. Who can think and read beyond hormones related feelings. Who can see and understand the politics behind group messages. You would be able to see your every tradition, custom, ritual and rule in different light which would reveal all the politics of control and power. If you can’t see the politics in them you clearly are not a CEO. You just follow and accept everything what a groups wants you to be. Remember feelings of being irrelevant, unimportant, and being useless are coming to you from your groups not from God. If you are not a CEO you can be controlled and used as a less evolved and genetically programed creature.
Mass over the individual has been and still is our political education coming from our groups since forever so changing that would take a lot of work from the individuals. Things are happening but they are far too slow because groups don’t want to lose their political powers. With equal human individual rights, doors are slowly opening for the individual and spiritual justice.
Remember we are a spiritual entity because we all bring along our personal sense of justice from before birth. The reason why equal human individual rights are gaining strength is that as an individual we are willing to give, if we get equal rights. On the other hand as groups it is a different story. Politics of power and control makes our groups to hide behind individual security they promise. They preach prejudicial and discriminatory politics and make their followers to believe in the same things so they could use individuals politically.
That is why I believe it is crucial for the individual to become educated and spiritually aware enough to understand how important it is to become a CEO of their life. If you claim that your group is making you prejudicial and discriminatory it would mean that you are being political as well. When it comes to human beings, we are not genetically programed to be controlled by even God never mind a political group or religion. So the responsibility of everything we do is all on our own individual shoulders. It is because we have been blessed with the atom of autonomy a God like entity who is holding free will and sense of justice. Genetically and spiritually we are an entity in a class of our own. A completely free entity to make choices, so responsibilities of our actions lands on our own shoulders regardless of whatever kind of politics we have been sold.
If you are taught by the religions you are irrelevant, it is because they want you not to have the understanding of how crucial you are in reality. If you really find out how important and crucial you are in God’s world they would lose their political powers over you. Similarly what is going on in today’s world. If you know even spirituality can’t be converted into physical actions without you, you would have tons of self-esteem and self respect yet without the fear of hell, being mortal or even greed of heaven. Remember as political groups they can’t let that happen because they would lose powers from over you to you.
This triangle is to simplify your responsibilities so you change yourself individually first then start changing your families, communities, nations and religions because they all fall into the category of political groups. Spirituality on the other hand is totally independent and is yours to become aware. Understanding your realities can help you, not to get used politically. If you become secure into your mortal skin you become a strong CEO who can keep this triangle right side up.
I put physical reality on the top corner because I believe no one should ever be robbed of their physical reality over someone’s metaphoric or virtual reality. Our metaphoric or virtual realities should always be on the bottom corners. No matter how they look or feel to you personally. Your metaphoric and virtual realities can not or at least should not surpass your physical reality. When you are going to compare, you simply would have to feel and see it all with your physicality. Remember if that physicality is not there everything vanishes in a zone where you can’t really claim that you understand everything. For instance regardless of what your religious extremists say you simply can’t just kill someone in the name of God. In reality we have been and still are killing each other over how we look, pray and worship. To me it has nothing to do with God or looks but it has everything to do with the politics of our belonging to groups so it all comes down to individual responsibilities. We individually have to seek our potential to grow beyond the politics of belonging to our groups and understand the importance of individual whether they belong to opposing groups or not.
If you start to look beyond the politics of belonging, you will find that spiritually there are no differences. We all regardless of our taught differences come, live and go the same way, so our mortality should be able to teach us what our living time is all about? Why are we under the spells of our group politics? Why don’t we have enough self-esteem and respect for self and others? Why aren’t we relevant even in our own point of views? And especially why we don’t distinguish that a crime is a crime whether it is committed against fellow belonging individual or individual belonging to other groups. Yet if we put ourselves on the receiving end of our own actions we would not like it that clearly means our actions are spiritual crimes. Thought of that alone should make us understand that our political actions can be spawned into spiritual crimes.
If you have a job to kill people with computer controlled drones that would belong to your virtual reality. Putting your virtual reality on the top would be a crime committed for the political reasons so if you rob someone of their life, it is not a video game anymore. Understand that it makes you under the influences of the politics of belonging so again it comes down to your individual responsibility. If you personally are a spiritually aware individual you would and should feel guilt from your actions, if you don’t feel guilt you need to look at yourself critically because eventually you would have to deal with your atom of autonomy sitting right within you.
Remember if we all change individually our groups would be compelled to change with us because we are the fuel which stokes their political fire. Not everyone would understand group politics especially if they are under the influences of their sense of belonging. As human beings we have been using group politics since our awareness. Just recently we have stepped into a new paradigm of equal human rights. We have been compelled by the calls from our nature. From global warming to infectious diseases to equal human individual rights and justice is not only a necessity but has become a responsibility. Potential annihilation of humanity is creating fears and compelling people to come out of their political pigeon holes so smell the roses and stop killing each other and join their hands together because there is bigger fish to fry. With internet education is spreading fast but still there is a lot of work to be done.
A political tree of our belonging has always been rooted in the political lies and twisted truths yet spirituality and equal justice are nothing but the truth so our metaphoric realities have room for their metaphoric thorns. If you try to raise your facts like justice and spirituality based beliefs like religion on your political tree. You personally are looking for trouble because your personal religious beliefs will lose the spiritual component which may not be accepted by the atom of autonomy sitting within you. so having inner conflicts means you are not in a good place especially as a mortal.
Your justice system would lose its mantra of nothing but the blind folded truth. That means you personally would lose your respect for it because you come equipped with your own personal sense of justice. If you ignore all that because of your political belonging you may lose respect of self as being an honest human being. Your delicate fruits of ethics would suffer damage by the thorny pricks of politics. That is why I believe we should keep our justice system and spirituality away from our politics period.
In present days being a human being is as complex as it can get because we need our governing systems to run our political affairs yet as a mortal being we need our spiritual values. That means we need to evolve and progress to out grow the politics of our belonging to our groups and join humanity as a whole so we can follow our nature. All at the same time so we can be spiritually aware enough to live a happy, content and successful mortal life. Living a mortal life in the confusing world of our physical, metaphoric and virtual realities exclusively would not be satisfying to us spiritually. So it is not one over the other but creating balance is the game for us by respecting and keeping physical reality on the top corner. By choice you can devote your life for your race, gender, nation, religion or a cause and stay spiritually behind, but that does not satisfy you in all departments of life so it does not make you a successful CEO of your mortal life.
If you honestly look at our science and technology we are growing and interestingly we simply can’t avoid our evolution related progresses. Regardless of our abilities as human beings we just can’t go and kill real people as if we are playing a video game. Our progresses should be equal in all areas of our life but regardless of our advances we have not been able to successfully over come our politics of belonging. On the other hand regardless of our medical advances we still have not been able to change anything in the department of mortality. Since mortality is our physical reality we should respect it as such. Not only for us individually and collectively as a group but for other human beings as well. If you kill someone whether it is for your metaphoric reality or with your virtual reality there are real consequences for the people on the receiving end. You can’t just put your virtual or metaphoric realities on the top corner because your belonging group is calling for it. Human life has always been, is and will always be more important than our technological or metaphoric realities. Just by looking in to our history and even in our present days, as groups we disregard the importance of human life. Especially when it comes to the politics of our belonging groups. Whether it is coming from racism, nationalism or belief systems we have been putting individual’s physical reality on the bottom corner of this triangle and it is time to evolve to the next level.
Since we are an evolving entity we should understand that power of knowledge is there until some new discovery discrediting it. So that a wrong is wrong no matter where it is coming from or who it is preached by. Putting physical reality below others is not only disrespecting human individual’s life but it is disrespect God as well. Since it robs someone’s love that means no matter how blindly you believe in your metaphoric realities it still robs love and hurts someone, so that alone makes it a spiritual crime. Whether it is committed in the name of race, nation, religion or even in the name of God it is still committed for political purposes. Remember human beings have been and still are able to use everything politically including God so if people use other people and hide behind the politics of sense of belonging there is nothing surprising about it.
In the days of virtual realities having a confusion between our metaphoric and physical realities can be dangerous, not only for the individual but for humanity as a whole as well. Since with our weapons of mass destruction we have the potential to eliminate all our realities, so it should be understood that our politics of belonging to our groups is not just a natural thing for us any more. In the nut shell I am trying to say that if you remove the physical reality it takes everything else along with it so see and respect physical reality of self and others as well.
Since we are a social creature and have to live in communities, we simply can’t live alone and same goes for our communities they practically can’t live without the individual either and I mean literally. An individual is the one who is the life and blood of the group so balancing our evolution is not only an individual’s duty its our communal responsibility as well.
I have a lot of respect for the spiritual side or part of religions because that has the potential to make a human individual a better person. Those who take matters individually or collectively to extreme to suit their political agendas may believe they are being spiritual. Interestingly those who cross the lines to harm others are following nothing more than the politics of belonging. They try to force their political agendas by hiding behind their religious beliefs meaning using God politically.
Remember in reality compassion and love simply can’t be forced upon others or forcefully expected from others. Same as voluntary things should not be and can not be counted as rules. If you force something as rules especially if it is prejudicial, discriminatory or unjust against some people. You lose the spiritual content so they are nothing more than the politics. Remember no matter how good your intentions are or how good your politics is, it has room for lies and twisted truths. Spiritually no one should be able to force any kind of metaphoric reality and yes even if it is believing in God. If an individual is force to believe something, it sure becomes spiritually empty. If it is nothing but the politics, we all should be able to come out and openly say so. Just like our territorial disputes are territorial until people mix their religions into the mix of their politics. Sure people fight harder to make religious wars bloodier so there is a high chance of religions being used as politics. We all should choose to follow spiritual rules out of love of God. If you try to enforce God on an atheist, you can be spiritually out of line but politically it can be kosher to your belonging group. Since God is a belief not clearly defined and understood especially for a still evolving entity like us. If one is spiritual but does not belong in your belonging group. Their connection to God is non of your business and if you try to make it your business you are gone political.
If you think God can’t take care or protect Godly business, you must be believing in something but it has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with God. If you try to force people to stay in past era, just ask yourself why God created human beings with evolutionary nature? If we are climbing higher in every other department of life why not in the department of God? With our genetic make up things have been changing for us as realities so we should learn to believe God can handle our progress as well and remember there is always a wisdom in believing in things are meant to be.
Yesterday we were throwing virgins over the cliff because our religious leaders thought God was mad at us. Today we are talking about global warming and are trying to do something about it. We talk about equal human rights and freedom of speech, we are flying to mars, have weapons of mass destruction and creating vaccines instead of banging our heads in fear or throwing virgins over the cliff to please God. We have earned the right to live on the face of earth by breaking down not only our own genetic code but other creatures and even viruses as well to eliminate sure death diseases. Sure we are not in total control because we are still in the process of evolution. Just remember how is all that happening? If you believe it is all without Godly help or will, you have to think again. God’s help has always been and is there to help us evolve further. It is just some of us believe that God is some out side and a separate entity and we all are just some irrelevant, useless sinners who can’t be directly associated with God. If you are one of them simply look at God’s work and see how it is being done? If you try to understand you may find clear answers around you otherwise you will stay stuck in the zone where you can’t even question anything, never mind thinking and evolving with the needs of humanity. On the other hand if you think human is doing everything, how can you deny that the human individual has to have help for simply living, breathing and functioning . Everything a human individual achieves they achieve after they have taken a breath and that is beyond the control of even the strongest of us. If you think it is all done without God’s will, you need to renew your spirituality and faith in God because without God’s help human would not have progressed. Remember chimps are still living in the bush, if we did not have that 2% more than them we still would be in the bush with them. Or perhaps still be throwing virgins over the cliffs, so come out of your conservative ideologies and evolve with time. Especially understand the influences of your politics of sense of belonging and question it to death because that is driving you crazy and is the biggest hurdle for you to take the next step into your evolution. If you grasp spirituality beyond the politics of belonging and learn not to do to others what you don’t like done to you or to your loved ones you would cross the lines to join humanity instead of trying to dominate others. If you can overcome the politics of belonging you would be able to see why we still can’t stop killing each other even in the name of God.
If we all focus on our individual spirituality we can make the difference not only in our living years but beyond as well. Remember a group simply can’t be between you and God it is all about your deeds not who or what you belong to. If that was right no religion would preach for you to become a better person. You would get by simply by belonging to religions exclusively. It is clearly said that you would have to carry your load into life beyond your living years, so do the good things in your living years to be better. They all say you follow them but they expect your input as well.
Heaven and hell is described clearly as the reward or punishment so I simply call it a carrot and stick philosophy which I believe is useful in training other creatures. Personally I believe as human beings we are a lot more than other creatures because of our spiritual side so as a spiritual being we simply don’t need carrot and stick philosophy to be good. We all are able to self regulate, we just need spiritual education. I stray from group politics when they say you have to join them to become exclusive to God. Logically if they want for you to become good person they are putting responsibility on your shoulders, so how can they say others who are not in their group would go to hell regardless of their good actions. To me if God is not political simply and spiritually it does not make sense. On one side you have to follow what they say on the other side they say you are responsible for your heaven or hell.
To me that is making them all prejudicial and discriminatory and if you follow that and believe in religions not in individual actions, you would have to believe that God is a discriminatory and prejudicial entity as well. If you say people who are born into other religions of groups they will go to hell, I would say count me out of your belief system. Does that mean I don’t believe in being religious, I believe it is an honor and privilege to be born in a Muslim household to learn about God and spirituality based principles. To be responsible and grow up to be a reasonable individual. If someone teaches me that I would go to heaven only if I am Muslim, I would bring up personal character and responsibilities of reciprocation. If those two are not there I would doubt where I would end up. To me main thing is reciprocation as a practical prayers directly between individual and God.
Even our prophet Mohammad (PBUH) CLEARLY SAID AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HELPS AND IS USEFUL FOR THE WIDOWS AND HELPLESS. IT IS EQUAL TO JIHAD IN THE NAME OF GOD OR EQUAL TO WORSHIPING ALL NIGHT AND FASTING ALL DAY. Sahee Al Bukhari, 5353.
I have been talking about practical prayers and grow up to be a good decent human being is spiritual thing and one can find all that right across the humanity regardless of religious beliefs. I personally don’t believe in the take, take and take philosophy I believe in personal responsibility of converting spirituality into physical actions as the purpose our life. If you are fulfilling your duty of reciprocation and are in alignment with your atom of autonomy you have nothing to worry about, not in living years or even beyond because your atom of autonomy knows what is it all about.
Praying and worshiping is one’s personal choice but it does not practically convert spirituality into physical actions so to me praying and worshiping simply is not enough. Reciprocation is a duty and is the personal ticket to spiritual satisfaction and contentment everyone is seeking. Since miracles are rare, far and apart we all have to perform physically for God. If you simply prefer to pray, worship and fast but don’t believe in reciprocation or believe God can help others without your input. You would have to learn how does God help others? A spiritual entity needs physical help to perform physically, and guess what who is the physical help? Its you who is created for that purpose.
If you are told that you just pray, worship, fast and give money to create majestic architect you will go to heaven. I would question that because if you are not performing what you were created for. Your obedience alone is not going to cut it spiritually. Especially if you are taught to believe that your prayers, worshiping and fasting is making you superior and exclusive to God even over those who are reciprocating but not worshiping like you. You will have to think again because chances are you maybe are missing the whole spiritual point. Your practical and physical help is what God needs from you and it is not for God. Its for God’s people in need and that is not for an exclusive group exclusively. Thinking of that alone is political and sure you can be political individually or as a group but making God a political entity should be a spiritual crime. If you help and pray as well it is your choice and prerogative but your physical help is a lot more meaningful to God than your worshiping and obedience. If there is no practical in your obedience it does not make any spiritual differences. Whether you will go to heaven after you die, it is not my call but if you are not doing anything practical to help the needy who is praying to God for help, you simply are not being practical. To me the purpose of our life is to reciprocate practically. Sometime its us who is praying to get help and sometime we are there to fulfill someone’s prayers that is how God’s work gets done.
Whatever you believe in, its your metaphoric reality and the benefits of that are to you as well. If you benefit and someone else gets harm from it, simply its not spiritual. If you think even remotely that you would go to heaven and others who don’t believe, pray, worship or fast like you would go to hell. That thought alone can take you out of the spiritual zone because you have become prejudiced and discriminatory which does not have any place in spiritual world. We all should be careful about assumptions and especially assuming God is prejudicial and discriminatory as well. If you implicate God in prejudice and discrimination you have strayed from spirituality.
Our old politics has been and still is based on strength in numbers, so if you want more power to your belonging group. Do you really think it is spiritual? Just be honest and ask yourself how would you feel being on the receiving end of your actions? If you stop yourself from acting politically you would enter the spiritual zone otherwise you are harming someone physically over your metaphoric reality. To me if you put your metaphoric and virtual realities above someone’s physical reality. You are not only under the political influences of your sense of belonging you are losing your personal sense of justice and spirituality as well. Your personal values are directly connected to your atom of autonomy so by going against it you may create troubles for your self from within.
We are all uniquely designed to be constantly and independently evolving entity. Which makes our individual and collective knowledge as incomplete and constantly evolving as well so regardless of its authenticity we still can’t keep it still or in the box. Since I wholeheartedly believe in direct reciprocation between human individual and God I put human individual’s physical reality as the most important aspect of our spiritual picture. What it means is, if we are blessed and helped with oxygen and a functioning body what are we doing in return. Simply ask yourself if you want to find out the importance of being a human being. That is why I believe reciprocation is our practical prayers and is a real duty for us. Praying, worshiping or believing in God religiously should be optional but reciprocation is and should be taught as a duty. To me even an atheist has a duty to reciprocate to spiritually be satisfied. If one does not believe in reciprocation, they fall in a place where they take, take and take but don’t give back. Which can go against their own atom of autonomy and can cause spiritual dissatisfaction and yes that is regardless of worshiping, praying or fasting.
Being aware and alive from within helps us understand our realities. Our evolution requires and demands from us to understand the importance of our physical and metaphoric realities. Recently we had to add a new reality calls virtual reality as well which should not be played and taken lightly as a video game. Today we are using technology to come up with new ways to kill people. Life can be quite confusing for the ordinary individual if we can’t understand the importance and distinguish the differences between our realities.
If you personally put your physical reality on the bottom corner of your life, you may carry on living but it is not natural for us because our realities intertwine all the time. Our physical reality still stays as a priority and should be respected and kept on the top corner. For instance love is our metaphoric reality, when a human individual loses their physical reality and dies, their loved ones carry on loving their loved one but because of physical reality things change drastically for the individual who dies. It may not be same but to the loved ones love is a metaphoric reality so it is carried on. They may not be able to see it physically but they can feel love deep into their soul as a reality.
Our sense of belonging to our groups may not be a physical thing but it makes even the best of us or highly educated people dance like drunken puppets. It makes them use religions for political purposes and politicize our justice system and to go that far that they commit spiritual crimes like prejudice and discrimination and worse.
We have been killing each other for our ego, pride and honor, we have bravery and sacrifice as our legitimate realities in our societies but they are not physical. Sure we can’t see them physically but we can clearly see their physical effects on us individually and collectively that no one can deny. Point is as a human being our life is not as simple as other creatures so as an individual we have to function not only with our physical reality but we have to deal with our more complex issues as well. Like our social and religious traditions, customs, rituals and related written and unwritten rules of our societies we belong to. As we advance and grow spiritually we start to question our indoctrinated education. Our mortal nature should be able to teach us not only to prioritize our personal physical reality but others as well. This understanding leads us to understand and separate our physical and metaphoric realities like God, love, compassion, personal sense of justice and life after death so we can understand why our physical reality is and should be a priority. If you are taught to ignore it all and follow what your belonging group wants from you. You are trying to simplify your life like other creatures where you let the others take charge of your short comings because not assuming your CEO responsibilities is actually avoiding being a human being. Simply that would be burring your head in the sand to become a less evolved creature. Who can not stand the political pressures of sense of belonging and stress of calls or pulls from personal atom of autonomy. Responsibilities to understand yours and others physical and metaphoric realities are coming from your atom of autonomy so simply they can’t be avoided. Since our life is not as simple as eating, sleeping and reproducing we are not genetically programmed to be a physical entity so considering yourself as such would be demoting yourself to the level of other genetically programed creatures.
We have to look at our metaphoric realities critically regardless of what you have been taught. If you can’t or choose not to because of the politics of belonging you may kill someone in the name of metaphoric realities yet that action robs someone of their physical reality. Humanity has been doing that for a very, very, very long time so its time we individually evolve enough to call a wrong, wrong. It is time to respect physical reality over metaphoric reality. Sure we have stopped throwing virgins over the cliff to please God but we are still killing each other over our metaphoric realities. If you believe that you are right and others are wrong, regardless of the real right and wrong you are most likely under the political influences of your belonging group. Remember we are an evolving entity and we are not done evolving so we have to evolve further and especially from this politics of belonging related mambo jumbo. That is what we are suppose to evolve from to step into our prejudice and discrimination free equal human individual rights era.
For millions of years, if you go with religions or with the belief system of reincarnation at least for thousands of years of evolution should have helped us to over come our animal side. If we are recycled old souls shouldn’t our social or spiritual crimes be lower than before by now? Obviously it did not do its job so first of all I blame it all on our loyalties to the politics of our belonging to our groups. Then to our insecurities spawned from the political education of individual being irrelevant. As groups even our religions became victims of this politics of belonging or I should say insecurity.
They preached security even in the life after death yet they acted the worst when it came to the politics of belonging. Our religious wars have been the trade mark of our bloodiest wars. They did not only kill during the wars times they killed and killed and killed for their political security and relevance. To the point that no one can keep track of religious extreme related killings. Remember it is not done yet it is still going on. Since people response passionately when it comes to their belief systems, religions took advantage of all that and stoke the fire with the blood of their believers. If you start to look at the value of human individual, religious groups should value it the most because God’s work is done by the physical human individuals. Interestingly they have been and still value the least, even if it goes against God and spiritual principles. If human individual makes spirituality to become alive and physical, how can killing human would be in favor of God? God is our metaphoric reality and we make God a physical reality for those who need help from God.
No matter how it feels to pray or worship, you simply can’t take your eyes off of the real business of reciprocation. Feelings of being insignificant, irrelevant or unimportant came from the education still coming from the political side of your religions. Political side of the all groups want the individual to feel weak and insecure so they seek security under the wings of belonging group. Yet in reality when it comes to spirituality, God is not a political entity. In spirituality no one is treated with injustice especially in the business of reciprocation so having self respect and self-esteem is an automatic result of being spiritual.
Since equal human individual rights are not limited to between individual and individual they go beyond the political lines of all kind. Human individual plays a crucial role in converting spirituality into physical actions which takes human individual all the way up and stands them up as a third equation in the larger scheme of life. Since God and Devil belong to our metaphoric realities and human being as a physical reality. That physicality of human individual makes them the main character of our all realities. If you remove the physicality of even God and Devil they become irrelevant because they can’t perform their tasks without the physical help. Remember until human individual lends their hands, backs and shoulders other than the miracles things don’t function or work very well. You can choose to believe the other way around but that would throw off everything because if you take the human out of that equation everything becomes metaphoric, and metaphoric reality needs physicality to be relevant. For example if all good belong to God and all bad belong to Devil by removing good and bad human physicality still exist as a neutral entity but removing human individual’s physicality means good and bad can’t exist at least physically so can’t be valued because you have to have physicality to measure the benefits or harms of our metaphoric realities. Simply those good and bad don’t become physical realities unless human individual helps them physically.
Powerful human realities like love, hate, belief systems, sense of belonging to groups and related issues like ego, pride and honor to name a few. We simply can’t deny the existence of these metaphoric realities, yet scientifically we are powerless to break them all down to understand as repeatable facts in every human individual. So far complexities of these metaphoric realities are still above our scientific knowledge because we don’t really or fully understand ourselves or at least not yet.
A Muslim philosopher says and I am going to translate it and quote as I read.
“Quote” “A professor asked the student, what is bad? Student says I will tell you that later, but I have to ask you something first. So he asked his professor, does cold exist? Professor says yes, student says wrong. Cold does not exist, it is just the absence of heat. Student asked again that if dark existed? Professor says yes, student says no sir dark itself does not exist its just the absence of light and according to physics we can study light and heat but not cold and dark. Bad is just like that it does not exist, it is just because of the absence of our faith, love, complete and a total belief in God” End quote. This student was Al Barooni.
As Al Barooni says there is no cold, dark or bad, its the absence of heat, light and God related good. So understanding our realities has to have a logical explanation as well. If we can’t explain our metaphoric realities, at least we should respect our physical realities over our metaphoric and virtual realities. Our troubles are that we follow the politics of our belonging groups without questioning. We go to extreme without the understanding of where our extreme views are coming from, they could be related to our politics of belonging and related hormonal responses.
I see people crying, screaming, convulsing and acting strange just by listening to the music of their favorite rock star. Celebrating with joy or crying over the loss of their sport team. Why some and not all act the same way? That hormonal effects are a human reality but not the same to everyone. If you personally feel and act extremely, simply ask yourself why? If your hormones override your logical thinking you personally would have to take your behavior seriously. Remember in human societies we have laws and order and we are not living in the bush or cave anymore. In urban jungle we can’t let our chemicals dictate our everyday life. If everyone just lived with whatever hormones dictated there would be a chaos. If you feel too much who is going to regulate and control? Logically it should be you but if you would not society would control you. Either way in today’s society that control is needed because most of us as human beings we are evolved enough to live in mega cities with laws and order. If you don’t follow you can end up in situations where you lose your control even to be free. Not only we have to learn to control our hormones related emotional responses, we have to have deeper understanding about our metaphoric and physical realities.
Interestingly when it comes to our hormonal responses our belonging groups would encourage it all especially when it suits their political needs. They will punish you for certain actions in society but when needed they will send you to commit the same crimes against others. You will be praised and even awarded as a hero for the same actions depending on the politics. Unfortunately your atom of autonomy is not political and does not acknowledge the politics of your sense of belonging to your groups. According to atom of autonomy you are a free and God like entity who is totally responsible for personal actions. It is straight forward spiritual so you personally would have to deal with your internal conflicts. If you have troubles within, no matter how powerful your feelings are from your perceived and metaphoric realities you still can’t put them ahead of yours and others physical realities.
When your physical realities are threatened by someone’s metaphoric realities self defense is inevitable, so before you become emotional over your metaphoric realities and you rob someone of their physical realities you have to know that you are responsible for it all. Yes even if it is in the name of your race, nation, religion and even God. Stop and think because it is all on your shoulders. If your atom of autonomy does not approve, you will pay the price. Remember guilt may be our metaphoric reality but it has its real and serious physical effects on our already short mortal life.
Now the question is where do you stand for yourself? To you if your politics of sense of belonging is powerful enough to confuse you to the point that you lose your personal identity and your sense of realities. You would not be able to see that there is no difference in the crime you commit whether you commit in your community against your fellow members or you commit it for them. Remember if your metaphoric reality like your atom of autonomy is not sitting within you, you would not feel guilt form your actions.
Understanding of that level is usually discouraged by our political handlers so it is your personal responsibility to line your realities up properly and especially understand that your physical reality has to be on the top corner of your triangle. Our personal lack of knowledge keeps us from evolving to be a God like spiritual entity so our groups would rather have you more of an animal who responses to their hormones when it comes to the politics of belonging. Our evolving nature calls for us to understand ourselves as a whole being not just the physical side of us.
Our spiritual side helps us to evolve to know more, not only about ourselves but about our realities as well. Knowing the differences between our metaphoric and physical realities is not and should not be optional it is a personal and individual duty. To know all that we have to come out of our political and hormonal influences because we are not just a simple animal or a creature. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. Sure we have our bodies functioning like other creatures but we are under the influences of our atom of autonomy or should I say spiritual side of us. When you become spiritually aware you will start to question everything especially the politics of sense of belonging. You would question your race, color of your skin, gender and depending on the era you are born you may question your nationalism and religion as well.
In today’s era if you distinguish your self as better just because of your race, color, gender, nation or religious beliefs you could be called out as a bigot, prejudicial or discriminatory being so if you don’t live according to the era you are born in, you may get in trouble. If you live in a society where equal human individual rights are the law. You simply would have to follow the law otherwise you would be labeled. If you think that you are better and superior you would have to look for the answers and reasons for your beliefs because according to your physical reality you simply are a mortal just like everyone else. Politically influenced education of the communities influence every house hold so for individuals it starts at home. If every house holds produces a bigot, prejudicial and discriminatory individual, whole community becomes as such and that is what your political authority would ideally want to compete against others. Our group disputes related killings or wars depended on individual ignorance to keep control. As groups we have been following and doing all that for as long as our history can go. Since we are an evolving entity we couldn’t stay in the same political systems so our evolution has brought us new awareness. Today’s era belongs to equal human individual rights and freedom of speech so being superior is considered bigot, prejudicial and discriminatory and wrong. So I hope you would not want those labels for yourself and be proud of that.
Lets look at it this way, according to my metaphoric and simply understandable reality. We are cells of God’s body. If a cell is looking for the body, it is not up and away from them, if you are within the body you can’t really see the body as a whole so you really would have to understand. We on the other hand have been taught that God is some out side entity so we like to look up in the space for God. Since we can’t really see God physically we have a whole lot of assumptions some believe God is all around us and other cells are part of the body of God. Yet most think God is somewhere out side and all the cells are are others so they must be fought and killed. Our physical reality should make us question our existence and meaning of God but unfortunately we don’t agree to even acknowledge God as an external or internal entity. Simply just think of humanity as the body with all kinds of cells.
Our reciprocation of give and take keeps the ball rolling meaning we keep God alive and God keeps us alive to function. Everything has to function perfectly for cells and the body to be alive so simply everyone has to chips in. If cells die body has to reproduce otherwise we can’t live and even survive collectively. If somehow body dies cells can’t live so our game of life is dependent on that harmony between cells and body. Yet regardless of our evolution we are not learning from it, since we are always seeking God outside of us we don’t see God in ourselves nor in our fellow cells or human beings.
Our group concepts teach us differently and we believe in and buy into it all because of our sense of belonging. Most groups preach that as cells we are not important and we can see it in our everyday life because body keeps on living even cells die everyday. Since body has the ability to reproduce new cells body is the main focus by most human concepts and it is natural for us to put mass over the individual in our everyday politics. Yet as mortal an individual should be respected for their contributions to keep the body alive. One can see the real importance and appreciate individual cell if all cells die at the same time because that would kill the body as well. If humanity carry on it is all because of us making new cells all the time. Don’t forget that reproduction is through the cells so the importance of cell has been and still is undermined by our belonging groups and we have bought all that politics as our physical realities.
Since today’s era belong to nuclear and weaponry of mass destruction and yet with the belief system of individual cell is irrelevant. Things can go bad for even God and all our prejudicial and discriminatory belief systems because a passionate individual with the finger on the button can blow up everything. Since we have a habit of killing each other, it is a good possibility that we may bring that predicted day of destruction to life when the whole humanity dies. What happens to God if you remove the physicality of God? Would God die with us? Would it matter and to whom? Would heaven and hell matter if we don’t have a physical body to feel anything? End of physical reality would end our all realities as we know them.
