First of all, purpose of this writing is not to disrupt or create doubts in any one’s personal and spiritual belief system. Remember I did not say religion because I believe people’s present-day religion and personal spirituality are two different things. My attempt is to educate everyone individually so they can have a better understanding of their personal spirituality so, they cannot be used politically by their belonging groups. Remember when we honestly question ourselves, only then we can really learn about who and what we really are individually? Especially when personally believe we are an extension of our belonging groups. It’s not easy to rip the coons of belonging, if you have been brain washed to avoid our individuality or to even know about it, since the early childhood. Politics of belonging and its effects on individual’s personal spirituality can internally make or break the individual’s perceptions of life. Since just like God, we individually convert belonging group’s wishes into physical actions as well. So, it’s crucial for us individually to know WHY? At the least we should know that we make things happen physically and are responsible of our actions. By doing that at the most we should stop killing each other especially in the name of God. I believe as long as we individually don’t evolve to know who and what we really are, everything would stay the same as it has been for thousands of years.
I want everyone to experience the importance of our metaphoric realities like God and love, but if you are unable to clean up your spirituality from religious politics of belonging, you would always be politically used. As human beings we all have the powers not only to make choices from our common sense related collected knowledge we actually store it as our personal data. Which not only allows us to use it as a stream or river but come up with new ideas by mixing and matching while it falls into our ocean. When it makes sense and we are able to use it, it becomes our personal wisdom. We can not only change the course of our personal life, we can effect the world by coming up with new discoveries as well.
Just like our modern day cell phones, we have lot of individual computing powers but without you using it, it just sits there as a computer without functioning. You are the atom of autonomy who gets a name and responses to that name. As computer runner or cell phone user its you who has the responsibility to refer to your personal ocean where you have installed, stored or brought along knowledge from before birth. Now say you get some brain disorder, you are still alive but you can’t function properly or run on full capacity. Meaning that computer and its data is not manageable or meaningful. As an atom of autonomy if you are not there that computer regardless of its powers become useless because it can’t run by itself. This is the story of you, your body and brain. You simply can’t be identified with the computer or its data, you are the human individual or atom of autonomy who is the CEO. Being a CEO you have to call the shots over everyone and everything so if you identified yourself with the computer or with installed data you are not the CEO. A simple logic says we are not an extension of an ideology nor we are a genetically programed creature. We can choose to belong or choose not to. Either way we are designed and designated to be a CEO of our lives, if you find it absurd you are identifying yourself as a group not as an individual. just remember your umbilical cord gets severed at your birth for a reason.
We can individually choose not to be prejudiced or discriminatory as our belonging groups related data would say so or enforce for us. I want everyone to become a CEO of their life so they can choose not to be used by their elite politicians. Only a CEO can ask their religious leaders to remove their politics of belonging to groups to clean up their spirituality. We all can find some internal and external peace by belonging to humanity as God had meant for us. All we have to do is to simply dive into our personal ocean of knowledge to experience our spiritual God. Taking responsibilities of being a human being, simply by picking and choosing. “Don’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or to your loved ones”. We can simultaneously make God, human individual and spirituality relevant and groups and yes even our politically prejudicial and discriminatory religions irrelevant. In the era of today’s equal human rights, we can do that easily. THAT IS IF WE INDIVIDUALLY WANT TO, WE ALL ARE CAPABLE OF LIVING INTO OUR OWN AND PERSONAL UNIVERSE EVEN IF WE ARE OPPRESSED.
Coming out of our ancestry related pigeon holes is much easier than ever before because today religions don’t have the same powers what they had even fifty years ago. In spite of all that, our ancestral insecurities related group politics still keeps us in our pigeon holes, preaching nothing but prejudice and discrimination even against our own people. In the era of equal human individual rights things are not working very well for us all as groups. Its hard to break away from our ancestral chains of political belonging yet today’s era is demanding for us all to belong to humanity as a whole.
Before you follow and reduce yourself to genetically programed worker bees and warrior ants look within to explore to see what you really have been blessed with. If you are not a computer nor you are the data, don’t you want to know what and who you are? Simply look at your personal atom of autonomy by going within. It tells you that you are a mini God yourself. If you look at yourself that way you would be able to see all the responsibilities you come with. Allowing you to put your politics of belonging in its place and stand as a real and just human being. If you can do that not only you don’t make politics of belonging bigger than it is or should be. You can actually control your personal responses to avoid committing spiritual crimes in the name of your belonging groups. If you learn to strain politics of belonging out of your beliefs you will find plenty of spiritual satisfaction within the religious beliefs you are born in. Regardless of which one you belong to you individually can connect with your atom of autonomy and find your personal spirituality. You would reach spirituality and God as they are pure, untainted, honest, just and universal through and through for every single one of us.
Sure we all have individual rights of survival, treated equally and to be free. IT APPLIES TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US ALIKE. If someone wants to follow their animal desires to conquer and dominate others they should be treated like animals as well. Simply because they have surrendered their spiritual side to their animal side. If we can educate everyone equally to evolve and become a spiritual human beings, things can work, otherwise we will have to keep killing each other until we are all forced to take a step into new paradigm of our evolution. Where we all belong to humanity as a whole with equal human rights and equal justice to all. I know it can sound far fetched but today’s reality is calling for this next step on the highway of our evolution. Just look around and see what is going on, from internet to space station to global warming related extreme weather to equal human rights. Don’t you think humanity, spiritual nature and God is calling?
Since as an individual we are an evolving entity, are still in the process of evolution and are not a finished product we simply can’t justify killing anyone for beliefs of our complete knowledge. As I said if you would not like to be killed why would you want to do that to others? In order to evolve we have to look at the causes of our behaviors. Our insecurities and political influences would not change unless everything is brought down to the individual level. Individual strength and education of belonging to humanity as a whole is the way and I would say is the new paradigm. Belonging politics to our groups have brought us nothing but destruction and individual sufferings so shouldn’t it be left behind? Especially in the equal human individual rights era.
Since our real reality and first identity is human being why can’t we overcome politics of belonging to our groups? It has never happened because it was never brought down to the individual level. Our groups fought each other for dominance and territory just like other animals. Today’s era is not only preaching equal human individual rights around the world our nature is pointing towards the needs of humanity to work together as one as well. Logically we can’t simply be our gender, race, nation or religion before being a human being so understanding that individually can lead us all to a better place. Political influences can be reversed by us individually so our belonging groups would be compelled to acknowledge that they have no power without the individual. Remember our belonging groups have us believed that we can’t think as an individual or we are wrong for digging into ourselves to become a complete human being yet each and every discovery is made by the human individual’s imagination. According to them we should be working as a bees, kill and get killed as warrior ants for our belonging groups and surrender our individual powers to the group.
Ever wondered that a bee fly around independently, collects honey with perfect freedom yet goes back to the hive why? I call it genetically programed similarly to warrior ant who kills and gets killed for their group. Interestingly we as human beings are doing the same thing yet genetically we are so called so sophisticated and evolved life that we can’t even understand ourselves. Remember there is no natural queen bee for us, we simply elect them these days. Our sophistication clearly shines when it comes to our melting pot societies where we can live with each other in peace. Even our belonging groups are killing each in back homes, what and who makes those changes?
Regardless of our evolution we still kill for our belonging nations and religions yet by having a choice, question is why? Is it that we are still in the process of evolution or our politics of belonging has been able to keep us from evolving? If you look at it deep enough you will see your personal insecurities and loyalties of belonging at work. Since we are not genetically programed, we are all capable to live in our melting pot societies in peace so why not in our group societies? Why its some of us not all? Why our politicians are able to persuade some of us but not all?
Individually what makes us believe that we are an extension of our belonging groups? We are even taught to believe that God is politically tainted just like us. Meaning God is a prejudicial and discriminatory entity as well just like human beings. If you personally and individually can’t come out of these beliefs, you are not using your CEO authority and status, you are under the political influences and are reduced to the level of bees and ants. Sure it still feels natural because we have always believed what our belonging groups have taught us as an ultimate truth. We did not and most of us still don’t question or challenge our old theories of life.
Ever since equal human rights have been talked about our conservative counterparts are in panic because they see their political influences and powers slipping away. So they are pushing against this new and modern day trend. Or I should say religion of today, simply because it exposes everyone’s prejudiced and discrimination. Just look around and see even a big powerful nation is trying to bully its way. Interestingly world has been changing or has changed enough to unite against aggression. Its happening because things are different now a days. Unfortunately we are evolving in both or I should say in every way. Dangerous and unknown at the same time because our weaponry has evolved as well.
Story after story humanity has been in a mess yet we have still been able to evolve. Just look at it with your open mind and see you are one of the lucky one. Lets start with conception you are one of the four hundred million who reached to the egg, then when you come to the world if you don’t breath doctor smack your butt to remind you to breath that free oxygen, lucky again. Now you got life and you have to gather your ten trillion cells and then hundred trillion bacteria to properly function and live. Do you still think, you are the one in control and is doing everything? Even with our scientific evolution we are able to by pass the odds against four hundred million but oxygen is still not in that vicinity yet, so its still out of our control. WE DEPEND ON THAT HELP EVEN TO TAKE A BREATH. Sure we have figured out a lot more than before but our life is still hanging by the thread and filled with our unanswered WHYS. You simply can’t believe that you as an individually are a fluke nor you can blindly believe in the marble explosion and expansion without asking where did the marble come from and why did it exploded? To me believing in that science is very similar to believing in God because estimation of fourteen billion years is still an estimation. If you believe in your assumptions are right and absolute truth, you maybe proven right or wrong but what it tells me, is that you have to explore further and relentlessly. Right or wrong is not even the issue, as a human individual you just can’t be complacent or satisfied with your existing knowledge because we are not created as a genetically programmed entity. Sure science can help you along the way to connect you with egg but you still got long way to go to figure it all out. Why egg and you? Why oxygen, why evolving nature? Why aging and mortality? You simply can’t figure everything out pure of assumptions. If you believe your knowledge has been complete and ultimate truth then why are we still learning new things all the time?
A while back I wrote about cliff of faith. To describe this complex issue in simple words can be confusing but here it is. We all are born into our communities, nations and religious beliefs. All following a path of foot prints left behind by our ancestors, while we are on that journey we have to evolve and learn new things yet when it comes to our religions we follow it blindly so no evolution. Each and every single one of us has to walk that path and eventually our mortal nature takes us to this so called cliff of faith. Following those foot prints when we get to that cliff we can’t see the foot prints any more. It simply is a cliff so when you look down its an obis so you have to believe what you have been taught to believe and jump down with your personal faith. Hoping you will find everything as you have been taught to believe. NO GUARANTEE BUT PURE FAITH. So usefulness of that faith is not even for the life after death, its all for the journey while you are alive or were following those foot prints. Whether we can find the preached world or not simply can’t be explained or materialized because we have to die to find out. When you are dead you can’t really come back and tell your people what you have seen is the truth. So far there is no real answer but a whole lot of blind yet politically tainted faith. Sure you can believe, have faith and live but no matter how you look at it, its benefits and harms are for your living years. Since it can’t be explained physically by anyone who dies, its left and believed like our ghost stories. You can buy into it or not its your choice, how vivid your imagination is, can impact your living years. I am not talking about whether its good or bad, I am interested in how it effects your living years? If the purpose of your ancestor’s carrot and stick philosophy was to keep you in line to be a better person. That means according to their philosophy we are all animals. Remember fear or greed based philosophy only works on animals. Since we are a spiritual and a thinking entity we can see God does not show up when we are committing a bad action so that fear or greed can be limiting for us. If you succeeded in self restraint from carrot and stick philosophy still that does not mean anything as a concrete proof. Again if you have been a good person and that philosophy have worked for you individually, still it does not answer the question, what is beyond that cliff of faith? If your ancestor’s motive was to control you, whether they knew what is beyond the cliff of faith or not still served the purpose. Now the question is are you a sort of animal who can be controlled by fear or greed or are you a spiritual human being who does good things without any greed or fear? What would work as an effective tool for human beings to be controlled with spiritual side in tacked? Fear and greed or self regulation through personal spirituality? As you can see I am clearly drawing a line between spiritual awareness and carrot and stick philosophy. Religions have talked a lot about spirituality but they have treated human beings as animals all along so it is back firing now. If the foundational belief is that you are an animal, you would not be respected as human being. If you look at your cell phone capabilities you are a spiritual entity so carrot and stick or fear and greed based politics would be disrespecting for human beings. Since our knowledge has been, is and will always be constantly evolving so we can’t really claim that carrot and stick philosophy works for human beings.
Lowest crime rate in the world should be a good indicator or a judge what works or what does not work for human beings especially when it comes to self restraint. When you Google, you will find religious societies don’t do as good as secular societies. Question is why? Logically a religious individual should spiritually be more aware and self restraining to keep the crime rate of the belonging society down. Interestingly where human individual is respected as a human or spiritual being and is taught to self restraint instead of being forced to control themselves by fear and greed results are different. Since self restraint or self regulation comes from taking responsibilities of personal actions and acting as a CEO. As I said we are following our ancestral foot prints to the cliff of faith, if you have been good that path is useful but if you have not been restraining yourself and committing crimes along the way. It does not matter what is beyond the cliff of faith, your path has failed you or you failed your ancestors.
Now lets look at the other side, our scientists are saying that an explosion had happened fourteen billions years ago and that has been expanding ever since. What and why it exploded is not know after all it happened fourteen billions years ago. Sure they have their reasons to believe in that and I am not questioning them like I am questioning what is beyond cliff of faith? Simply because our scientists are complying with our Godly orders to evolve. Constantly seeking, digging and researching to discover and explore further to find answers is the game of human being. On the other hand our religions talk about God but only to fulfill certain and present needs they don’t even want you to question what is beyond the cliff of faith. I would respect any and everybody who is helping humanity to evolve so we can solve our problems by understanding the causes. Sure religions provide us knowledge of our metaphoric realities but tainting spirituality with politics of belonging takes them far from realities. Physically killing over our metaphoric realities can’t be a spiritual action. Even if our scientists are theorizing and believing, I would say they are following Godly orders to evolve because at least they are searching. I am all for theories, as long as their purpose is exploring and expanding human knowledge. Unfortunately history shows our religious people have been against any kind of exploring so we have been forced to believe and even blindly. Sure there is a lot to stomach when it comes to science but at least they are not only accepting and admitting lack of their understanding. One top of that they actually have shown us a lot of physical progress or I should say practical evolution. Yet religions glorify the individual who kills and gets killed in the name of their belief system. Problems are not in the knowledge but rather in the politics of belonging, so if you are intolerant, prejudiced and discriminatory because of your belief system. Its all while you are alive and following your ancestral foot prints. For you personally it would be a matter or loyalties, or you are compelled by your personal insecurities to stay politically attached to belonging groups regardless of what is beyond the cliff of faith. In other words its all political whether its driven from political belonging or personal insecurities. Sense of right or wrong would not be able to get through the individual who is politically brain washed. Unless we start to look at the real spirituality where justice over rides politics. If you don’t really know what is beyond the cliff of faith then why not try to explore or question like our scientists are looking for the answers. Remember our evolving nature is Godly order for humanity, if you deny that simply because of your politics of belonging you are putting your belonging groups ahead of even God. Which can be quite confusing especially if you are looking for real spiritual satisfactions. If we don’t even know about ourselves how are we going to know everything about God or what is beyond the cliff of faith. We still kill each other over our knowledge yet everyone knows we don’t know everything. It clearly says that we don’t know everything about ourselves. If we don’t know then why do we kill each other over God and our belief systems? Is it our politics of belonging or our lack of individual knowledge or understanding about our endocrine system and its influences. Looking at it with a little bit of logic tells me we have to learn more about our animal side along with our atom of autonomy. Being a CEO puts a whole lot of responsibilities on our shoulders so we have to know why our politics of belonging is so powerful. Being a CEO can help us individually to understand why even our hormones get disrupted by our political influences.
If you can’t find God out there or within you, you must carry on seeking but always remember to keep your mortal nature in front. Simply because potentially you can live your whole life in deprivation. So without fulfillment, happiness, contentment and satisfaction a mortal life can be a clausal failure. That kind of impotent life should not be a goal for a mortal human being. Whether you use God or science is not the question its how you use your wisdom to live a successful mortal life or I should says while you are on the journey to the cliff of faith.
If you believe what you are taught to believe that simply means God and Devil are driving your car and you automatically become irrelevant, as religions say you are irrelevant and even are a born sinner so in the nut shell you are told to lose your self-esteem. Modern day atheist trends say exactly the opposite so if you don’t want God even in your car and die out of stress by taking everything on your shoulders. You have missed the whole point of why do you have your personal atom of autonomy? Why are you able to use your free will? Why you have an ocean like brain within to take in all the streams and rivers of knowledge? Logical explanation is that you have to live your life as an independent entity and you need a whole lot of wisdom to do that. No matter how religious you are or how much respect you have for the streams and rivers exclusively, they are not going to be enough to live a successful mortal life plain and simple, especially in this era of equal human individual rights.
If you don’t even acknowledge the help you have already received or are still receiving, you can’t even come close to understand the meanings of reciprocation. So seek, appreciate and fulfill your duties along the way to the cliff of faith, don’t put all your eggs in that basket of unknown and gamble. Remember it has nothing to do with carrot and stick philosophy so heaven or hell is not a matter to be discussed here. Life after death is secondary but your reciprocation during your journey to cliff of faith is primary. Simply because what you do in your living years matters to God and you simultaneously. Since you convert spiritual thoughts into physical actions you are the work horse for God. If God fulfills prayers of others through you, shouldn’t you ask yourself, how can you be irrelevant while you are alive? Simply if you can understand that and question your politics of belonging you can solve this spiritual riddle or relevance. Your relevance has been politically brought down by your belonging groups so believing in that is your biggest loss. If you can’t look at it as a loss you will always be looking for God in man made buildings. If you are looking at life as a scientist or mathematician odds would be that you would miss out on the spiritual side of your life. Chances would be higher to miss feelings related emotional fulfillment because you would not be able to scientifically breakdown your metaphoric realities. Love would be hollow, compassion would be politically tainted and sacrifice would be for the show. Nothing personal but either you would have to believe in your metaphoric realities or you have to break them down scientifically. If you discard them and lose their meaningfulness your spiritual needs can’t be fulfilled. Personally I believe that would be a loss for a mortal being because in the end of the day you are a CEO of your life so just like your physical needs you are responsible for the spiritual fulfillment as well. You simply can’t live in a stream of your knowledge nor you can live in extreme. So living life for after life exclusively would be an extreme just like living life without spiritual fulfillment during living years. You simply can’t stay stuck into the streams of your knowledge or hide behind its politics. You have to go into your ocean to pick, choose, mix and match to live a fair life especially if you are born in the era of equal human individual rights. You can’t be prejudiced, discriminatory or bigotry because you have to give equal rights to receive so living in today era with thousands of years old stream of knowledge is bound to cause problems. Its you who suffers or gets relief from adjusting according to the demands of changing times. If you don’t change, you would be called bigot, racist, prejudiced and discriminatory and remember in today’s time these words are not good labels so you simply can’t be proud of them.
If we don’t step into new paradigm of equal human rights and join humanity as a whole wholeheartedly. Peace we have been longing and seeking for, would never be materialized. Sure we have been evolving and would carry on evolving but all the progress would be as our physical evolution. Regression in spirituality is directly related to the politics of belonging to our groups. Since our groups proudly preach prejudice and discrimination, staying on the same path is not going to change our destination. Our so called contractors of God, religions have been openly putting their foot in their mouth by saying that they are going to heaven and everyone else is going to hell. Regardless of how much they talk about spirituality, their actions speak for themselves. Spirituality and God are clearly universal and simply can’t be prejudicial or discriminatory so in the presence of politics of belonging to our group they are the first to disappear. Disputing groups call each other as Devils followers, so with our emotional hatred and animal like behaviors we may blow ourselves up before even reaching our potential and blame God for religiously predicted outcome.
Today’s reality is calling for us all to learn everything about ourselves or at the least become human beings at individual and personal level. I would not want anyone to change their religious beliefs but I would prefer them to become spiritual rather than religious. They should take their individual responsibilities to become CEO s of their lives so no one can use them as their warrior ants.
If we start to look at our education critically, dating back and even further back one thing emerges as a reality. Yes that is that we all got our five bucks from our nature. That atom of autonomy related ability which allows us to not only use our free will and personal sense of justice, it actually stands us apart from other genetically programed creatures. Meaning our atom of autonomy makes us human beings who are the center of this holy picture and is on the top of our right side up triangle. Remember use of our free will not only allows us to physically materialize our individual imagination, it also allows us to convert spirituality into physical actions for God and belonging groups as well. Which literally means we stand right beside God in making things happen. Unfortunately we are tainted with the politics of belonging to our groups doing Devilish things as well.
This cell phone comparison is easy yet crucial to understand, especially if you want to learn to use it to enhance your life in all areas including spiritually.
Lets look at our abilities compare to our politically tainted and streams related installed knowledge. Things would start to clear for you if you really seek to know, why our belonging groups want ordinary individual to be weak and vulnerable? Simply to keep them in political control. Groups promote and politically inspire people to stay within the clearly defined boundaries. A politically brain washed individual would gladly, passionately and willingly stay and even help in controlling others for the belonging groups. Dig a little deeper and see where our 1% elite class has come from and why majority is always complaining about being behind regardless of hard work? Problem is not what we carry within us but what we don’t use what’s within. What’s coming from education of our controlling streams of knowledge and what we have brought along from before birth? What we have had and what we do have today? How far did we come with our evolution? Lets see what we have within from before our groups politically tainted education?
Its a known fact that we have approximately ten trillion cells of our own and hundred trillion non human life within each of us to function properly. We got built in lungs so we can use freely available oxygen to live. We got heart to pump our oxygen and nutrient enriched blood to all our cells including all life form within the body. Liver, kidneys and colon to not only clean but perform thousands of known and unknown tasks simply to keep us alive. We got skin to save and protect us from all kind of infections. We got muscles and bones to move around like an athlete, we got a continually evolving brain to think and plan. Much better than any man made computer because we evolve and fix ourselves. Our body and brain run in sync all because of our atom of autonomy a God like particle carried by each and every single one of us. To top all that we are not only a physical entity exclusively, we carry our own and exclusive spiritual side as well. Individually we not only learn from our installed data by our belonging groups, we think and explore to understand our personalities, our drive and even our genetic variations. Yet regardless of all the differences we are a social creature with the ability to function independently. Since we simultaneously function physically and spiritually we are blessed with our own imagination to create and evolve not only for self individually but for our belonging groups as well. Not only we have our immune system we even have what I call nature’s overcompensation system. Which allows us to learn new things, adopt and also evolve as well. Physically we can grow to adopt to our environment and spiritually we can grow to love, use our abilities to become compassionate. We can forgive, become brave, generous, and even learn to sacrifice our most prized possession like life for others. If you personally start to dig in, you may even find more untapped or unused abilities within you. If you underestimate all that you simply are unable to use your phone according to its potential. Either you are afraid of the stress you would be going through when you are in a learning process about yourself or your belonging groups have locked your phone, just like a parent would do for their kids. Always remember logically it does not mean your phone has less capabilities, its you who is limited by personal insecurities or you are complying with the politics of belonging to your group.
From carvings in the caves to modern day high rise buildings, from computer to internet on one side, ability to create pathways like channel tunnel, space station program on the other. From artificial insemination to breaking down our genetic make up to new ways of building muscles for structural health are the few things we can talk about our evolving nature. Doubling the average age of thirty eight to ever rising models of our cell phones like abilities are the benefits of our evolving nature. If you still feel human individual is irrelevant, God and Devil are doing everything. That means you believe in human beings have no five bucks of their own, no control or free will. That means you are standing us all in the line up of creatures who are genetically programed. If everything is done by God and Devil then you should be willing to believe all the good and bad is done with God’s will as well so where and why did the Devil show up and why such harsh punishments for not following religious rules. After all as human beings we have no control over oxygen and life giving circumstances. If its all God’s will then why all the different religions? Now the question is why God does not pull someone’s strings before they commit bad actions? If you go into this rabbit hole looking for the answers, no doubt you would come out on the other side as a crazy person. Simply nothing would make any logical sense to you because a belief system is a belief system, you buy it as it comes or sold to you by your belonging groups. Reason may not be your limited understanding, but because you are still in the process of evolution or not yet evolved enough to understand everything. Understanding to discover further may not be easy because you have a bigger fish to fry. Yes your mortality and related limited time is running out and it should be a huge concern for you. Living according to your group’s preaching may not be enough in reducing your mortality related stresses. So you may have to understand God not as you have been taught by your ancestors but by your personal logic as well. Using your logic while keeping your mortality in front can put a whole lot of demands on everybody to become a CEO of their life. Understanding and differentiating between realities can help, for instance in order to experience physical realities you simply have to be alive and functioning. After that whether its for you or for your belonging group things lose their physicality and importance. Meaning if you lose physical reality, your perceptions of life enter in a zone where you and your belonging group has no physical or logical building to stand on. From there on everything is standing on the foundation of assumptions, sort of like flat earth. Never mind all that remember your personal and physical reality is that you have got a limited time. Yet with all the responsibilities on your shoulders. You can live believing everything your belonging group says or you use all your faculties, take charge and become a CEO. Most probably you would be told that you are living an egotistic life, but as long as your life is a just life, following or not following your belonging groups wishes would not make any difference. Unfortunately they can’t help you when it comes to our bigger or main issues like mortality. They may gather up, shed some tears and say prayer or two, other than that you can’t rely on them. Main reason is that they all are just like you. Everyone is born like you so mortality is the biggest fish to fry equally for everyone. If you ignore that you may end up getting lost in your pond with boundaries instead of swimming like an expert in your personal ocean or fly in a space you personally carry within. I would rather believe, that its my choice to discover whether the earth is flat or not. If I die in the process I left something to ponder for my coming generations so the process of evolution can carry on.
Its not important what is beyond the cliff of faith or before our birth but it is essential to live a just life while traveling towards the cliff of faith in our living years. That should be our main education but most of our education is based on what is after our living years, like carrot and stick philosophy related heaven and hell. Remember Egyptians believed and took their material things along in their tombs. They believed they would need them, while we have been robbing them. They may wake up to today’s realities or not, at least we should. As I said our education should be focused on our living years so we can be good people when we are alive. If everything is focused on our life after death how can one learn what is important in living years? If I am told everything is meaningful in eternal life which is after death, is not sitting very well with me. There are some questions I need answers about. First of all if we live like a worker bees, warrior ants or monks, who benefits from our deprived living? For sure it can’t be God nor it can be you individually. Since you have been told you would get a spot in heaven after you die. I repeat after you die. Next thing for you to remember and never forget is that even God needs your physicality to fulfill people’s prayers. So you are more valuable to God alive not dead. God can’t be unfair to take from you and not reciprocate to allow you to enjoy physical things while you are alive, simple as that. If you are that important to God where did this human being irrelevance start? You are irrelevant and meaningless only when you are dead but while you are alive you convert spirituality into physical actions so you provide your hands, back and shoulders for God’s work. How can you be irrelevant and meaningless? As you ask this question to yourself make sure to look within while you are already there. You carry an atom of autonomy which gives physical life to God. Unfortunately to the Devil as well. So if someone says you don’t have free will, this is where they become wrong because its you who is making things happen. Sure after you have inhaled oxygen and in living breathing functioning body, but your out put is crucial part of spirituality and God simultaneously. You can believe anything you want but if you don’t use the knowledge from your ocean, you will think what is beyond the cliff of faith is one hundred percent true. Meaning you will live as a believer who potentially commits spiritual crimes in the name of belonging group. Which is not only going against God’s will but against your personal atom of autonomy as well. Going against or having conflicts from within can make you suffer in your living years. Suffering from within, in your living years can be a living hell. If you live in living hell yet by choice, how can you expect to live in heaven after you die? Remember logically you can only use your free will while you are alive. After that you can’t even move physically, meaning lights out. All your physical experiences shut down so whatever education you have can only be useful, applicable or meaningful during your living years. I don’t like to assume, simply because life is life while its physical after that things change and enter in metaphoric zone. That does not mean we should not believe in our metaphoric realities but they should never override our physical realities. Remember you have to surrender your physical realities to cross the cliff of faith. What is beyond the cliff of faith is a journey of unknown simply because you have to die first to find out. Remember we don’t really have any physical evidence so its all what you have been taught to believe on the path of your ancestral foot prints. If you believe life is considered as two parts, what you do in your living years would earn you results in after life. Intentions of this knowledge may be good because it wants individual to live as a better person but unfortunately it takes individuals focus from living years and puts it on the dead years. If you believe in your belief system blindly you may get some good results but since not everyone believes at the same level and we have several belief systems often conflicting can create social problems. If we can focus on our living years as a decently evolved individual, who knows the responsibilities of reciprocation, that may pan out better. Proof is in the pudding because crime rate of the society is not dictated by the carrot and stick philosophy. Since its created to train animals it is for the animals exclusively. Crime rate of religious societies are not lower than secular societies which indicates that carrot and stick philosophy does not work for human beings. I believe human beings don’t stand in that line up of regular animals and they function better if they are encouraged to be spiritual. If the purpose of the belief systems is to keep the individual from crimes in living years then why didn’t religious societies do better? Simple reason is that as human beings we are all wired differently. Sure genetics are powerful but for human beings its not the only thing. We can be effected by our education, like our up bringing and life circumstances can make people think differently. Our belief systems effect us differently so the level of belief system can vary. With various levels we are bound to have differences of opinion. Which leads to disputes even within the family, communities, nations and religions. If you look for the causes of our problems, remember our differences kill. So we all should critically look at our stubborn belief systems. Question is if we don’t know for sure, should we kill each other over it? As a reasonably evolved human being of equal human right era we have to question our belief systems before we go for the kill.
If its a territorial issue or dispute, still killing belong to our animal side, since we are not genetically programed we can learn not to act like warrior ants. You can say we have to protect our territory and people, I would not dispute because in the end of the day we have to have equal human individual rights. If someone is trampling our rights they already have surrendered their rights so no I don’t believe in giving the other cheek. If its for our belonging group, remember its political, so regardless of how you look at your life and its related knowledge. You individually will have to rise up and respect life of each other and your loved ones because you are all working hands of God.
Whether you believe, don’t believe or believe but not 100% in after life is secondary, whether its belonging to the individual from opposing group or our own, respecting life itself is primary. Simply because all human individuals are working hands of God. If we robbed Egyptian tombs believing they would not need all these material things in their after life any way. Why do we put so much emphases in life after death for ourselves? When you start to question everything you would come to an understanding that our living years are the crucial part of our human life. Yet we are asked to sacrifice that over what we don’t really know or simply can’t be explained. Don’t you think it is gambling for the individual. So to me individual and God are the losers here and winner is the house or politically ruling group of people.
REMEMBER YOU AND GOD ARE NOT THE BENEFICIARY ON TOP OF ALL THAT YOU ARE USEFUL TO GOD WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE. It may seem farfetched to the politically brain washed individual. Interestingly we don’t only have several religions, each religions have their sects as well. A clear sign of differences in beliefs even withing the religions. We may not even believe in life after death equally but none the less we still believe. Trouble is if everything related to our metaphoric realities is accepted as facts without any solid or video proof. Its a belief and not necessarily a fact. In this day and age of internet, science and equal human individual rights, killing each other over these beliefs founded on our unknowns should be questioned. Since religions were suppose to be our spiritual paths. They can’t be or at least shouldn’t be tainted with politics of belonging and clearly should not be our governing systems. If you win an election because you had inspired people to vote for their religions, your failure to succeed in fulfilling their expectations would disrespect their religious beliefs. Especially if they followed you blindly and you have tainted their religious beliefs politically. To me bankrupting someone of their pure spirituality is an original sin because you have politically used not only the individual but God as well. Even a win can be a failure because sooner or later you, individual, God and the religion would be questioned and disrespected because of this political taint. Our politics of belonging has ruined people’s belief systems simply because it taints our spiritual world with prejudice and discrimination. Playing with someone’s belief system in the name of politics can bring you to an other cross road. Where you find yourself lost. I remember a verse of a poem, it says and I quote. “I could not meet God nor got my lover, now I am lost, not only on one side but the other as well”. End Quote. Author unknown.
If you want to play safe and want to be individually healthy in all aspects of life, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally then don’t mix politics of your belonging with God and spirituality. Just like you want your justice system to be blind of politics you personally would have to look at and save your spirituality to be pure and clean. No matter how clearly you see or how blindly you believe, your belief system should be founded on the solid grounds of personal spirituality. Remember you can’t get everyone else to see or believe exactly the way you do. If you force it, you lose your spirituality so as I said you lose others and even God as well. If you simply imagine yourself on the receiving end of your actions before committing them you already know spirituality. If you would not like someone else enforcing you to change your belief system then you should respect and restraint to give and receive the same equal human individual rights. Regardless of how absurd it seem to you, if you picture yourself in minority you would grow respect for others belief systems. If we all respect each other, give and receive equal human individual rights life would change for the better, otherwise we would never come out of our racism, sexual biased, prejudice and discrimination. Today all the above are not a matter of pride anymore, those times are long gone so its important to live in the era we are born into. Our past is riddled with the divisive governing systems so creating groups within the groups has been the political game played by our ancestors to gain powers. Conservatives and liberals have been switching hands for governing to bring us back and forth. As long as we evolve we can go further and learn not to kill each other over our political differences or over our metaphoric realities. Everything can be safe until we mix politics into our religious beliefs. It can simply can rip us all apart individually and collectively. Just look at our history, our religious disputes related wars last the longest and are the bloodiest.
From Muslims teaching science, medicine, engineering and space to bring them down all by exchanging political hands is a sad story of mixing extreme politics and religion. Since we are human beings with evolution ingrained into our genes, if we go back and forth it can be acceptable as long as we go forward in the end of the day. Our evolution has brought us to the point that we are thinking and accepting equal human individual rights around the world. Which means we are ready to step into our new paradigm or ready to take our next step into evolution where we actually are forced to understand the importance of working as one humanity. Belong to our original identity and over come our installed identities.
In this day and age except few of us, we simply can’t go ahead and kill someone in the name of God anymore because no one would want to be on the receiving end of that. I personally don’t prioritize metaphoric realities over physical realities. So in today’s time killing and getting killed in the name of God would be like going to court and saying to the judge that God made me do it. Sure we have Qur’an and Bible in our courts for taking oath but asking judge to free you simply because you committed a crime in the name of God would not be enough. All justice systems look at physical reality as a priority.
Most of our religious education is based on carrot and stick philosophy which simply does not suit for human beings because we carry our spiritual side within. If you look around the world, proof is in the pudding. Since lowest crime rate is not in our religious societies, I believe its rather a slap on the face of our so called Godly people who think and believe human beings as animals. Remember our religious education was designed to make us more evolved and humble human beings so we would not commit crimes against each other. What went wrong? If we all contemplate and learn to readjust our carrot and stick philosophy things can change for us all. Since self regulation comes from personal hope and spiritual evolution comes from our personal atom of autonomy. If politics is inserted into our belief systems, spirituality takes a hike. My question is what is the reason why secular societies scored better than religious societies? Its kind of obvious, if you treat a spiritual entity like human being as an animal you are not going to get very much respect back from them. Things are going so bad in our religious world that they have not been getting a break from killing each other. As nations and religions they can’t stand on a solid ground to create a society where people would want to raise their children. Simply because they mixed politics of belonging into their spiritual systems. Sure politics of belonging can ignite the religious passion to kill and get killed in individuals but creating a society where people can self regulate would be hard to do.
Just like other triangles I believe this triangle has also been politically flipped, so the right side up is required not only by the individual but by our belonging groups as well.
HOPE
FEAR GREED
Spiritually hope should be the life and blood of our belief systems especially because we are mortal beings. Logically if you start to look at cliff of faith, one things emerges clearly that its not about what is after the cliff of faith but rather its all about how we live while we are in the process of that journey. If you look at it with the political point of view, you need to be controlled and if you look at it spiritually you have to convert spirituality into physical actions while you are on that journey. Thoughts about hell and heaven can fade especially if you do things as responsibility of reciprocation and for the love of God and humanity. God would know the intentions so if you do them out of greed or fear God may not have the same respect for you. Now the question is, would all that matter or not? To me if you live as a good person, whether its out of greed and fear or your self regulation stems from the duty of reciprocation. Either way it succeeded but I would rather do it out of responsibility because it would be done consistently. If you have greed and fear involved they are on the shaky grounds because not everyone thinks alike. Remember if you do it for others, even if it is for God it would not be consistent for instance if God does not show up when you ask for help you may end up losing faith altogether. SO DO IT FOR YOU FROM YOU. If you look at it in our living years, fear can subside and greed can be fulfilled. Now the question can come then what? Would you stop doing good? For sure after death even that doing good would fall into our assumptions as well.
Looking into our past to see how human beings have been and some still are worshiping sun and all kind of Gods. We have lots of romantic stories and songs about moon as well but in today’s societies things have changed. We simply can’t be worshiping everything under the literal sun. If anything is not known to us, does not mean it automatically gets a status of God. Scientifically we have been discovering and debunking old theories of our unknowns. So if we still have our unknowns does not mean we should stop pursuing to know them and yes even God as well. Breaking down myths and solving mysteries is part of our being a human being so if anyone or a group of people stand in the way of new discoveries they should look back and see what was, is and what will be? Standing in the way of evolution is not following God’s way it actually is against God’s will otherwise we would not be able to debunk flat earth theory.
IF WE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE LOCKED INTO OUR PONDS, GOD WOULDN’T HAVE PUT AN OCEAN WITHIN US.
We simply can’t make a God out of everything what we don’t know. An other thing to remind you, preaching human being as an insignificant, irrelevant and born sinner is not from God but rather its from the elites to politically benefit them. If anyone or any political policy of a group insist human being is insignificant or irrelevant should be looked at critically because its nothing but political. We should be looking ahead on the highway of our evolution optimistically, discover and march further not only to discover more about technological, medical and scientific knowledge but our political influences mixed in our belief systems as well. If human does not take charge, our discoveries and evolution get stuck at certain milestone or worse gets used to annihilate humanity. If we don’t carry on discovering, we would never know what was our potential. If we simply understanding our atom of autonomy we can restore human individual’s spiritual relevance.
If we look at ourselves, just like we do at our cell phones of today. We have had a lot of untapped potential right from the get go. Unfortunately our conservative political influences have been working against our desires to break down all our boundaries because they simply want to keep the status quot? For an individual who start to learn about the new cell phone, it takes a lot more than just the efforts to learn about the new things never mind political influences against individual progress as well. Politically a party is strong if its not questioned, so there has been a lot of efforts put in to keep the ordinary individual down or I should say irrelevant. Unfortunately or fortunately today things have been changing and conservatives are facing a real threat of being left behind. So they are fighting back with everything they have got, humanity has been out growing kingdoms, dictatorships, communism and even socialism to join democracy. Yet still we are in trouble, simply because there is a constant political unrest influencing individual.
Humanity is at the cross road because all our external forces are telling us to evolve and work together as one humanity or else. Individually we have to gain some wisdom so we can see the politics hidden behind our group agendas. We simply can’t do that unless we start to learn about ourselves just like our phones. We all need to learn about our abilities and all about the ocean we carry within. Remember we can pick, choose, mix and match from all of the knowledge pouring into our ocean. Otherwise we will end up living a life which does not give us fulfillment what a mortal being needs. If you don’t care about that fulfillment your sense of belonging is too powerful for you individually and has you under its spells. You have lost your real status and you are unable to use your cell phone with all what it has within. Sure our belief systems have their place in our lives so does science, medicine and technology because they fulfill our spiritual and other needs. If we ignore our scientific knowledge it is a big individual and collective loss or deficiency. If you are born in today’s time you simply can’t go without your scientific knowledge, a whole lot of comfort and even life saving strategies come from our scientific knowledge so it has to be not only used but respected as well. We are all functioning differently and at much higher level today so our needs simply can’t be fulfilled with our religious or scientific knowledge exclusively. If we choose extreme we end up choosing our streams related knowledge as ultimate knowledge. We simply can’t do that because we can’t fulfill our emotional and spiritual needs by going scientific exclusively. Just like that you can’t go religious exclusively and don’t use blood transfusion for saving life of your loved one. You simply can be stuck into your extreme if you choose to stay in the streams of your knowledge. If you feel stressed out regardless of your knowledge, you have to know what are the reasons behind your unfulfilled life. Your reason can be simply connected to a lack of spirituality. Remember you don’t have to pick or choose science or religion rather you have to learn how to create balance and use them both to live your mortal life successfully. If you have been brain washed in your tender years does not mean you don’t have what is needed to function in today’s society. Undoing can happen if you start to learn all about your potential, sure sometime we have to go through some discomfort to find comfort. If you feel spiritually unfulfilled, remember you are the one who makes choices. All you have to do is to dive into your ocean to find your solutions. Instead of looking for the scientific of medical answers into your holy books or the other way around, take charge and become a CEO so you can be responsible for your life. You have to look into that direction even if its not comfortable. Politics of belonging has the powers to rob you of your personal spirituality, so don’t become spiritually bankrupt and believe that you don’t have choice and you have to comply with your belonging group. If scientific facts are changing things in religious world you may fall apart, especially if you don’t take charge of your personal spirituality. Simply look at your life as an evolved individual and find your comfort from within and for the love of it. I simply don’t know what my cell phone can do, I can use it as phone, text and video camera, sure I can see the time and temperature as well but that is all I can do. I know learning more about it can be uncomfortable so my limitations tell me that I am not using my cell phone for everything what its capable of. Self discomfort to discover more of my cell phone does not mean my phone has less abilities, it means its my inability to use it to its full potential. This is the main connection between a human individual and their cell phone. We all come into life with all the powers installed but our politics of belonging keeps us from using our abilities. Why? There is no other reason but the politics. Our politicians know it very well and they take advantage of our personal discomfort so they preach and discourage us to use our cell phone never mind to its capacities. Remember God did Godly thing and gave us what we need to live and evolve progressively. Now its up to us how far we can take it. Our individual discomfort and political influences can dictate our backwardness or forwardness. If you can handle personal discomfort you can build yourself bigger and stronger not only physically but spiritually as well. We sprout like a seed and become a tree there is nothing similar what we have had so our life should be a journey towards our evolved self.
Since we have a choice to do good or bad even if its done in the name of our belonging groups, still its our responsibility to choose and be responsible for it. If you don’t use your cell phone to its capacity or refer to your ocean like brain, you may end up doing bids for your belonging groups exclusively and live a life of a worker bee or a warrior ant. That can take you to a place where you end up going against your own atom of autonomy and going against your atom of autonomy can make you accumulate guilt and related harmful effects. If you don’t use your cell phone because of your personal fears and discomfort that is one thing but if you think and believe its prohibited by your belonging group, you would never get to see your potential. Usually your loyalties override what you think or do, so its your personal loss because time is running out for you individually. Your belonging groups stay behind simply because they stayed entrenched in their conservative and old political ways to govern. They don’t have interest in their individual’s well being or strength, so individual gets sacrificed simply because they run out of time. Should you stand in your corner and dig into your personal ocean and strengthen your atom of autonomy? That is your personal matter because if you are a willing participant in the same politics as your belonging group is, you are the group. Remember without you, your belonging group loses its integrity and eventually its survival. So they would cunningly fight to keep their individuals from evolving. If you are not happy, remember as a mortal being your life needs happiness, contentment and appreciation of the things what are important to you. Living with total control can lead us to live a substandard mortal life so remember we have to fulfill not only our physical needs but spiritual satisfactions as well. Mortal life does not just need absolute comfort it needs happiness and contentment for the soul so life without these two can’t be counted as a successful life.
Sure we have difficult time learning new things, going into uncharted waters of our unknowns, but that does not mean we don’t have those abilities. If I don’t know how to use things in my phone, does not mean my phone does not have what I don’t know how to use. I may not know how to use my phone for everything but I should be able to dig into my body, mind and spirit for its potential. If I look at things with open mind I may even discover flaws causing me discomfort. Otherwise I may stay stuck at the same level until I expire. So if we personally don’t dig into, cross and break our so called boundaries, we would never come out of our practiced and preached lines of our ancestors. Remember all paths lead to the cliff of faith but what goes on within you personally matters the most. Paying attention while you are in the journey is the game because you are converting spirituality into physical actions while you are alive so whatever is before your birth or beyond the cliff of faith is none of your business its Godly so leave it at that and do your job of reciprocation because that is, whats is keeping God physically relevant. Don’t put anyone in hell or promise them heaven to politically use them.
I have not done reading the entire thing yet! But I want to express my views on this.
This is so beautifully written and expressed! I have gone lost while I was reading it. Thank you so much for bringing this to life, for speaking up on the religion fears specifically! I totally agree on who each one of us is losing our identities in order to please our community, society and what now!
Incredible. This piece needs to be out in public!
