In Canada there is a lot of discussion about the assisted dying which I believe should be discussed openly throughout the humanity. In United States north Carolina court decided in favor of the religious freedom, which trumped basic human rights, so I would give my opinion about these issues. First the assisted dying.
Since I believe God is like a human body and we all are cells of it, cells or the body are not able to function unless they work together. We are the cells of God thus humanity is the physical expression of God and God is the spiritual expression of the human individual. Regardless of the connection to the humanity I strongly believe in individual liberties. Especially when it comes to assisted dying. This is an issue which tears me apart inside, but just like a river or a human body needs regeneration and reproduction to stay healthy and alive. Cell regeneration and reproduction is an essential and life preserving process, thus it has to be done. Logically its the individual who should be calling the shots especially when it comes to him/her being mortal. Now the questions come to mind are, who should be the decision maker and on what grounds. If someone has mental health issues, regardless of the causes it is quite common in the northern hemisphere. There was another news about the kids making a pact to commit suicide as a group. When it comes to this we all need some soul searching to do, the causes or as I call it the dead dogs of the problems is not only some physiological, emotional and spiritual problems it could be related with personal finance and poverty.
If some one has to steal to fill the stomach it is a communal problem, if the community wants the individual to follow the rules it has to fulfill its responsibilities as well by meeting and providing the basic necessities of the belonging individual, because an individual is the one who is the life and blood of the community. As an individual if you feel hopeless and need help, you should be able to get it because of the others compassion but you have to think compassionately as well not only for yourself alone, you may rob someone of ” Love ” by killing yourself and punish someone who does not deserve to be punished for instance your family members and friends.*********
Sure dying is a fact of life, so is the regeneration and reciprocation. We have to be able to discuss about this subject openly with each other. It is not a governmental or religious issue, it is a family, friends and love issue.
Human individual has to take charge to do God’s work and recognize his/her importance in the standing. The politics of our religions and governing systems have been working for thousands of years to make the individual insignificant so it is essential for the individual to become a CEO to undo the damage. From the self-esteem to personal insecurities to disregarding self to mental health issues can be helped by becoming a CEO.
Imagine Zika virus spreads all over the world and all the babies are born with the dysfunctional brain, who would pray to God and who would answer the prayers? would God’s work be done with all the unhealthy human beings, logically everything come to screeching halt.
Humanity is like a human body which has running systems to keep it alive. From cell regeneration to the dead debris removal, to fueling up the energy to disposal of the energy to simply living and dying of the cells is not only the part of life they are the bitter facts. We just don’t want to discuss these issues because we have been brain washed by religious knowledge.
Religions talk about these issues with the authority which creates problem for the general population because of the different belonging groups. Conservative societies have such hard time to accept the responsibilities of changing times they just don’t want the individual to take charge of the issues humanity faces as we evolve. There is a stubborn attitude towards the changes because of all the good stuff written thousands of years ago. If you dig deeper they did not have the technologies to be able to see the fetus with the small head of with anything wrong, today we have all that and more genetics information so when it comes to abortion we have to soften up a little. It is not that I am a liberal, so I have my views against religions. I believe in God and humanity as one entity which happens to be evolving all the time so regardless of me being against abortion and assisted dying I believe the body should run like a river so it can clean, regenerate mend and fix itself to be healthy. If it is left like a pond everything grows in it to make it sick. That is what is happening the whole humanity is going through the changes all along yet our ancestors tried to make it like pond with the boundaries to give the individual some falls securities yet it is against the nature because human individual keeps growing out of his/her boundaries. Our wars and spiritual crimes are our stagnation related pond diseases. Our sense of belonging related customs and traditions hold us back and force us not to make a humanity related contacts with each other. We are stuck in the us and them yet if you dig in deeper genetically it can be resoundingly proven wrong. If you want to go back in the past, go all the way so you can pass the ancestry of race, nations or religions, when you get there you will find only one thing and that is humanity.
Abortion, assisted dying, stem cell research, cloning or test tube babies and so on are the facts of today, there is nothing resembling to our past, we already are in the space and trying to find new planet to live.
If we as a humanity don’t take charge of the things, we would be stuck in the past and would never become liberal enough to accept each other, so everything would be done traditionally, thus no progress nor the evolution. We just can’t stay in the pond situation, it creates stagnation related problems, just like our divisions and wars are related with our egotistic past. The reality is, that a human is a human and if you help the reproduction of the new human beings or as I say we all are cells of God thus we all reproduce God to exist, I don’t care what you have in between your legs you are the God producer and should be respected for.
The Sense of Belonging: the most underestimated cause of collective and individual miseries.
As an individual we have been fighting with each other to bring our belonging groups in power whether it be a peaceful election or standing with our race, gender, nation, religion or even a sport team, we support our belonging groups, regardless of their wrong doing or bad performance in the field we still vote for them, cheer for them even give life to bring them into the power.
For me it is like judging a bodybuilding competition, if I am from Manitoba I should not put the Manitoba athlete ahead of others just because of my sense of belonging to the Manitoba. Judging is and should be unbiased to help the best athlete win is the justice. Ordinarily looking at the world, people are so immersed and obsessed with their sense of belonging that they want their team or athlete to win even they don’t deserve to win. Is that right? as an individual you just have to ask this question to yourself, if you can balance your sense of belonging with the justice you are a CEO, if not, you need to work on yourself to become one because of the injustice you are doing is ignorance.
Say you are walking by and you see a man hitting his bleeding head to a wall, you would stop to help him and feel compassion for the poor soul. Then imagine you went another block, just to find hundreds of poor souls hitting their heads to the wall regardless of the bleeding, you can’t help to think there is something seriously wrong with these people, but you still want to help them. Then you go a little further just to find out there are millions or billions people doing the same thing, and they insist you to join them some time by force to do the same thing what they are doing, just to make you think that there is something wrong with you.
This is I called the power of the sense of belonging. Right or wrong is not the issue it is all about the justice above the sense of belonging. How many of us are able to do that, we stand with our family member, community, race, gender, nation or religion regardless of them being right or wrong. If every one is doing that yet with pride we have a major problem because it divides us all and keeps us from evolving to join the whole humanity as one unit.
History unfortunately shows that we have been rewarded to gain, which inspires us to fight even harder for our belonging groups. Would our government be able to look after us better? would human liberties or equal rights will be part of it or not? There is no guarantee just look at the war veterans all over the world after the war they become from hero to victims of mental health, homelessness and physical illnesses.
Our sense of belonging compels us to carry on doing just that willingly, even if we end up committing spiritual crimes. Human individual has been committing spiritual crimes for the belonging groups, if you dig deeper for the cause of individual actions you will find the three children of sense of belonging working behind all the spiritual crimes. Ego, Pride and Honor. Every military, militia, nation, religion or terror organization inspires to recruit the young ones just because they are not CEO of their life yet so can be conformed to die for the belonging group.
I believe it is high time, the individual starts to look at the politics of their belonging groups critically. Our actions need to be scrutinized by the inner CEO, only then we will learn to belong to the humanity. Over two hundred countries yet genetically related one organism, fighting over even the refugees settlements. How are we going to deal with the global warming related migration if we can’t even deal with the self created refugee problems. If the ocean rises there will be a problem which can’t be solved by building trump walls.
Sooner or later we will have to come together as one humanity just like we did with Ebola crisis, just look at the space station there are several nation working together yet they put each other down like United States and Russia. ********
The Panama leak is an issue should be looked at critically.
There is a major flaw in our governing and political systems, everyone is fearful of losing comfortable living, sure no one likes anybody’s hands in their pocket by force, but if the individual is spiritually educated the reciprocation can be a part of everyone’s life because it is a beautiful thing, unfortunately it has to come from the Godless people to teach and bring in spirituality. Politicians twist and turn to sway the ordinary individual’s opinion. If everyone can see beyond the politics of the messages, we would have all the religious people as democrats instead of the other way around. The Panama leak or the off shore investment business is closely related to avoid the taxes. If any and everyone start to put their money away it will end up in the one percent of population, personally I find it hard to ignore the cause of the individual insecurities. We all are mortal, in our temporary life we can only eat so much or consume so much and with age that consumption even drops. So why such a big desire to have a lot of resources to secure, yet there is no security because of mortality. I believe in personal liberties but not without the reciprocation.
Compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love makes a human being, a human being and practicing collectively all the above makes a humanity. As I describe if everyone is a thief and a cheat we got a spiritual problem. There are several leaders of nations are implicated in the Panama leak so they must think that it is okay to put money away or don’t pay taxes.
We have all these systems of governing in place, but the power and corruption go hand in hand, so internet is a great thing for the humanity, I some time wonder how long it has been going on?
There is no ideal way of governing, you have dictator or democratically elected prime minister, king or a president, either way, power is going to be how to control the ordinary individual, because if every one was totally free how would the government work.
We need balance to have stronger individuals with higher education, so the understanding of personal senses is clear. You can’t take sense of belonging to extreme and say my group is right regardless of the injustice, or on the other hand with uncontrollable sense of freedom, you can claim that you don’t care about any rule.
Today most successful societies in the world are usually melting pots of cultures from all over the world with the tolerating individuals. Politics of belonging group is still there, but slowly falling apart because of individual respect of the law and equal human rights. If the individual is respected he/she will stay, if the belonging group does not care of the individual the brain drain will happen.
When it rains on the mountain, it is one drop at a time but then the water starts to flow downward. So the journey begins I believe we should compare ourselves individually with that one drop. Ocean is an example of God and the drop of rain is the man. Becoming a river and falling in to the ocean is the journey. From conception to fully developed human there is a lot of cell replication, especially during the peak you could feel that you are spilling over the banks raging river but you end up falling into the ocean just like a rain drop.
That is like seed becoming a tree or a sperm becoming an individual. During this journey we go through the processes of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth, but if the sense of belonging related ego, pride and honor takes over we just become very disappointed when we see the ocean.
You can say you are God yourself, if not you are the God producer, because you are blessed with the free will, but the ability to understand that knowledge varies. If you look for the understanding, it will make you think of the beginning and the end, which triggers the desire of eternal knowledge. When you start to put the puzzle together spirituality comes along to help you go further. Being part of the ocean can make you realize that being a human being is important and that importance can be helpful. So instead of fearing the ending, you can enjoy the journey at a higher level. You can let go of putting too much thought to the end or the beginning because your life is temporary. If you don’t collect and add happiness and contentment in the journey of your life, you are the one who will be the loser. Fearing or putting too much emphasis on either beginning or the end takes away your attention from the present. Sure we are naturally curious and we want to know everything, but we need to give ourselves a break, because our comprehension is limited in certain areas of life. We are evolving organism and during the process of evolution you can’t expect to understand everything.
We have a major problem which has been with us since the dawn of civilization. We care too much about what people around us think about us. If you are a scientist and you have figure something out what others did not know, you are not only impressing other people, you start to look at your self with pride. Just like others you start to expect to understand everything even beyond the science, or if you are a doctor who has a reputation and are successful to help people get better, as you confront the problem you can’t solve, you would feel hurt and disappointed more than the ordinary individual because of your ego.
If you remember to be a human being, an evolving organism, you will know about the limitations, ego and pride. We need to know that we are a raging river because of the other people around us, otherwise everything points towards the ocean, but if we just focus on our insignificance, that is against the God’s will. Our reason to have a free will with constantly evolving nature means that we need to pursuit our potential which is really the God’s will. The mortality is there to keep us humble and ego is there to inspire us to pursuit, so it has its purpose, it’s the extreme you have to watch, ego is like a double edge sword it cuts both ways.
Imbalanced sense of belonging must be balanced with a Sense of Freedom-In order to recognize where the urges of pride, ego come from.
Assumptions influenced by negative ego,
Human knowledge is changeable due to its evolutionary nature; therefore should one include passion in every action? Sure without the passion we can’t explore and excel, but when passion is tainted with the other influences it can be dangerous. A passionate policeman can misjudge and cause the pain to some one innocent, so can a military individual or a religious militant.
EGO: what is it? Where does it come from? And why do some people have more than others?
In the end of a Guy Ritchie’s movie” Revolver” these statements were given by some well known people of our time.

“People’s need to protect their own egos knows no boundaries. They will lie, cheat, steal, kill do what ever it takes to maintain, what we call ego boundaries.”
Deepak Chopra MD.
Chairman and co-founder of the Chopra center for well being.
“In religions the ego manifests as the Devil and of course no one realizes how smart the ego is, because it created the Devil so it could blame someone else. There is no such thing as the external enemy, no matter what that voice in your head is telling you. All perceptions of an enemy is a projection of the ego as the enemy.”

“Your greatest enemy is your own inner perception, your own ignorance, your own ego.” End Quote”
When one man kills or commits a crime against the other, you can say his devil side did it, but when a nation or a race commits atrocity against the other nation it is called genocide. The larger scale crime is called the devil himself did it? I feel perplexed about the human’s ignorance. Why we don’t realize and recognize the involvement of the human individual in every good or bad action and take responsibility. Why do we say all the good work is God’s doing and all the bad work is devil’s deed? Where does the human individual stand?
Ego is nothing but a byproduct or one of the child of a strong sense of belonging and if the sense of belonging is not in alliance with the sense of freedom the individual can lose him/her self or the CEO status to the belonging people. This can be very uncomfortable situation for the individual who has over powering emotions.
Ego and pride and honor are usually found in abundance in the conservative and religious societies. It is hard to understand that, on one hand people believe and accept themselves as an inferior entity to God and the Devil and on the other hand their ego spills over and jumps from the individual level to the whole society. Egotistic attitude of the individual against the others or even God is a clear indication of inner imbalances. The person with the inner peace can create the balance between God people and self.
Mosques, churches or temple’s attendance go up and down as the individual loses control in personal life. Sense of self is a balancing pole between God and people, yet most organized religions demand to or at least preach against the sense of self. This can confuse the ordinary individual and push him/her to extreme to lose the self identity. Personally I believe a group is strong if you have selfless people, but it’s even stronger if it has more people with self identity and inner peace.
Going to Mosque, Church or a Temple has different meanings, you don’t just go when you have self crisis. Believing in self identity and self respect is not egotistic but losing self to the point that you kill innocents to further the cause of your belonging group is. It is crucial for the individual to understand the differences, that means education beyond the group politics and influences. If you take pride in the self identity it is very easy to attain, but if you are under the influences of ego you have to look for the causes of your ego. When you look at your self critically you will not only find out more than you knew, you will know more about your self people and even God as well.
There is a degree of self respect we all have depending on how you see the world around you. You can be affected by the education you get, especially the one written in between the lines. For instance in Pakistan crimes like rape and murder are just as punishable as or worse than in the west. But in mid-eastern cultures, society will point fingers at the victim’s family as cowered or shameless if they don’t take matters into their hands to take revenge. Living in a society where others look down at you, if you don’t take any action out of ego means, the ego is glorified and praised.
Taking it to the next level shows that ego and pride is taught beyond the individual level. If a society and the individuals don’t understand the benefits and the harms of their education, they can continue to harm themselves gladly. If the individual belonging to these societies has experienced their personal life like that, then resistance against invaders would be a duty for all. These cultural compulsions make our conflicts of the world go on for ever. This produces an unlimited supply of suicide bombers. Extreme behavior of any kind has its foundation in ego. What could we do to solve these kinds of conflicts?
First of all we need to learn about ego. If we don’t even know where it comes from, especially if we don’t have any understanding of its mother, we can’t solve our sense of belonging related problems. We always analyze our conflicts but never look at the root cause or as I say the dead dog of the problem.
Looking at our education systems, all, and I mean all human societies still teach their kids that we are the best, and since that is coming from the authority figures, governments and even religions preach the same thing how can an ordinary individual dispute that. The prejudice is taught at home in school and worship places how can we sew something and expect to reap something else. If you want the humanity to come together you have to take the dead dog of the sense of belonging to a group out first then you can seek the world peace.
This is the ‘dead dog’ of our conflicts. If you don’t take the dead dog out, no matter how much water you take out the well, the water will still stink. (Read the Dead dog)
There is no doubt that ego has its benefits. For instance a father criticizes his son, and the son has an ego, so he will work very hard to succeed to prove it to his father that he can succeed and fly solo. Ego is a double edge sword, depending on which side you take it, it can help you succeed but hurt your relationships.
To properly understand, you have to take your personal ego out first in order to look at it from the outside. When you want to research any subject, you begin by accepting the fact that you don’t know everything about it. We need to understand our emotions, and at the same time we need to learn about tolerance, forgiveness and all the good things religions preach but are unable to teach the practice because of the politics of sense of belonging. Emotions are the chemicals spill in the blood stream after a thought, for instance if some one swears at you in some language you don’t understand you would not get angered but if you understand the language you will response in anger so the thought first then emotional reaction. That is why we need to learn about our thoughts and education systems. If the education is to be egotistic you just can’t learn opposing knowledge on your own.
If you desire something and if does not get fulfilled, you can’t just blame God. If God does not answer your prayers there is a wisdom or reason behind it. If everyone’s wish comes through by prayers then humans will stop seeking their potential. We are diamond in the rough which needs to reach glamour by it self because all the values are hidden inside and we bring them along when we are born. By digging in for the hidden potential we gain wisdom of life and God is sitting out to give us hope and encouragement just like a father or mother who wants his son to be a strong individual in all departments of life.
If necessary they will help, but encourage the child to be self reliant so he/she can fly solo when they are not around. If your prayers do not get fulfilled, you have another reason to take responsibility of your happiness department, because happiness is not in fulfilling desires it is in making the best with what you have. That means what you are capable of; you have to dig in for your resourcefulness, but remember this life is temporary and you can’t afford to live just to fulfill your desires. If you are too attached, leaving it all behind can be very difficult and painful.
Life is to enjoy the journey. If you focus on only climbing, you may climb higher but it would be like a runner with a high who collapses in the end. Regardless of the fitness level, he/she can’t climb any more and did not see and actually enjoy the scenery what he/she was provided with. Even though there is fulfillment in climbing and in digging for potential, it is still our responsibility to enjoy the journey of our lives.
Man is a creator but who put the ability to create, eyes to see, mind to imagine and hands to create. Every little discovery can boost the ego of a man but the discoveries need harmonious knowledge of all the above. You don’t just learn to discover from the school, other wise it would not be the discovery. The blessing to mix and match and reach is not for every one, but the ability to do that is for everyone. Choosing to put time and efforts is related with the free will, it confuses the man to claim egotistically. Since brain requires oxygen to work, every thing becomes out of man’s control. A scientist can say a thousand things, but claiming that we know everything there is to know is based on the ego. We have been victims of ego since the beginning but we just don’t get it even after all the discoveries.
Some how our ego works in the areas we don’t realize, like attitude towards our knowledge especially when it is challenged. We become defensive even aggressive and our resistance is over whelming to the point that we are willing to kill each other. We hold our customs and traditions dearly, even they have been proven wrong, just because they belong to our ancestors, and we don’t want to admit that our ancestor have been doing the things wrong way.
No body should feel guilty of the wrong doing of their ancestors because they did the best with the knowledge they had. So no religion ism or any social law and order was is or will be wrong, because we don’t just experiment with individual life plan we as a group, race, nation or religion try to learn as we go. Learning about the tolerance as an individual and as a group is a continuous process.
New knowledge should be based on logic and we need to learn more about our selves including our sense of belonging related ego, pride and honor. The two most problematic areas of human knowledge are the medicine and the religion where pride and ego is taking the best of us. Human life loses the value in these areas yet we are dealing with our incomplete knowledge. We should be humble and care full because knowledge is helping us to evolve, it should not be feared. A great number of people are taught that our knowledge is complete, that kind of thinking puts a cap on the human potential, which is absolutely wrong, just like earth was flat, human sacrifice was a good deed, burning alive with the dead body of a husband was noble, and in recent history racism and slavery was OK, and human rights are still in question all over the world.
We should not let our ego and pride come in the way, even God would stand against it because a creator would love to see the creation at full potential that is why we are an evolving organism with the free will.
If I would create something I would love to see the extreme powers and freedom with the belief, in extreme combination, because if you are strong willed with the belief that makes creator stronger. If a weak bows down to strong it is normal but when strong bows with humbleness that’s a real deal, the whole concept of almighty meaning.
If you believe that you have more room to learn, then there should not be an ego about the existing knowledge, because you may have to change your position. Even if it’s scientifically proven, our constant growth makes us learn that we don’t just live scientifically; compassion and camaraderie in general have more effects on the human than we know. No one should claim to be better than others, but push with all their might to prove that they are not inferior to any one else.
Are you the weaker individual? Why does this matter?
We, as humanity are at a crossroads right now. We are going through a change. Instead of fighting over God, we need to understand ourselves and our potential at a higher level. We need to think beyond the religions, boundaries, and the sense of belonging. Strengthening of the individual as a CEO is the key to bring peace and harmony to our endangered times.
If you believe that you cannot function independently, you have been taught to be a subordinate instead of a leader. As an individual with free will, you have a free choice as to how you live your life. But whatever choices you make in life should come from a sense of self not to fit in, be approved or be admired because of the sense of belonging.
A sense of self is a God given right that goes with the God given gift of free will. Within the individual is an internal system that governs both sides of the human being the animal side as well as a human side. Dealing with both sides is what I call individual and internal politics.
The animal side is related with the (so called) Devil and the human side is related with the God inside. As human beings we cannot function without one or the other. We cannot eliminate our animal side nor our human side. Suppressing one side over the other side, historically has not worked. The individual CEO has to be politically savvy in regards to these sides. This means you can control your animal side and enjoy life’s bounties at the same time. Yet you can function in harmony internally and externally. When in balance, it is the animal side that holds the knowledge that life is temporary. It knows that you should enjoy life and its bounty. It is the human side that tempers the animal from going into extreme indulgence. You can learn to suppress or express your animal side at will instead of being under the influence of it as a whole being.
The animal side is the raw untamed, uncivilized being who just lives for him/her self without any empathy for humanity. The Godly side is the civilized, giving, caring altruistic person who has a high level of empathy and wants to serve humanity. Just like the animal and human side, the sense of belonging and sense of freedom are all ingrained in us opposing yet undeniable. In order to function with these polar opposites we need free will and the strength of the individual to be the balancing and governing CEO.
Living in either extreme is not human. So each individual has to be a politically aware CEO in order to create balance within and to function for self and society.
When you are a balanced individual you can choose how you want to live in society. With opposing senses and animal inside it can be chaotic but that does not mean God created the human with a flaws. It is the test of the human to live this life with free will and choose to go to extremes or live a balanced life. We are not angels; we are human, so we have to live our life as a human being.
Seeking a Godly way of living with sacrifice is noble but that is an extreme and extremes always cause a problem for the individual and society at the same time. We have seen that religious knowledge has stimulated altruism in the individual, but at the same time they created group politics of extreme prejudice. This idea that only their group will go to heaven or is right and their way of living is the right way and everybody else is wrong and will go to hell. When the core education is divisive, how can you get a spiritual result for humanity? In spirituality there is no division.
Historically our societies with our religions and our politics has tried to control our animal nature. Following personal happiness has been considered selfish by the religions. Since we always have lived in group settings we always would have issues with the rules of the group we belong to. How far one should go to control, or not to control the animal is an age old question. The power of nature has us dancing like puppets since the dawn of civilization.
The animal side has some powerful cards. It has the knowledge of mortality and the drive to have some fun along the way as we live. Whether it is food or sex, the human and animal sides always battled over it. We hide our inner desires because we want to be politically correct. As the human side evolves, being intertwined with the animal side, we become cunning and are compelled to use politics to function in social setting while providing some freedom to the animal side. For instance getting married by the rules of the society we belong to or having a cheat day on a strict diet plan.
As an individual we claim to have the power to control, yet our societies are riddled with the crimes which break society’s rules. Every crime, including crimes of passion, has a driving force behind it, and that is the individual seeking to fulfill the desires related with the animal side. Right or wrong depends on the time and era we are born in, but the struggle between the animal side and the human side has always been there.
Certain things we do as an individual are under the influence of nature and certain things are related with the human intellect which connects us to the society, its customs, traditions and the laws.
Certain things that we do as an individual are so entrenched in us that we do them as if we are hypnotized. We do things automatically regardless of our ability as adults to think and reason things out logically. We need to examine our actions to see if they truly make us happy. If we are just doing what we have been trained to do out of tradition, or custom, duty or obligation we are going to have trouble with the attaining inner peace.
Happiness is a state of mind which sends signals throughout the body that creates a euphoric and healthy environment. The benefits of happiness chemicals are addicting and have the power to make us dance at all stages of our lives.
If one totally lives for the others or the self, these are both the extremes. For the human being who is blessed with free will, either extreme is wrong. If we look at ourselves as animals we would not have free will, we would be like worker bees or warrior ants and our preferred governing system would be either communism or Godly run authoritarian government. According to those systems, following our animal nature is a crime and every body is a criminal,but in today’s world, after all the experimentation and evolution neither is truly acceptable for the human being.
If we are the self-regulating and governing CEO, then what kind of society do we create? For sure it would not be a sheep dog herding sheep. At this moment Democracy suits the CEO best, this is not a fix-all because our knowledge is still incomplete and we are still evolving.
Juggling to balance our animal and human nature, and creating inner peace is game of life, and happiness is the destination. For the individual, happiness is as essential to living as food in a temporary life. We can’t just live for the community or for the self. Today we have the understanding of ourselves to know, why we feel deeper happiness when we do something for the community or some one in need.
Understanding and never forgetting the fundamentals of life is essential. We are mortal so life should be lived accordingly. There is a cycle of life. Just like in our own body our cells replicate before they die in service of the body and keeping the body well. We are here in service of God and common sense is that we need to make sure we reproduce, so God’s work gets done even long after we are gone.
Since life is temporary it should be considered as a gift, so the time we spend on the face of the earth should be enjoyed. We need to do the things that make us feel happy and enjoy doing them, because if we would not we would live this life with unhappiness by choice.
Understanding of happiness is essential because there is surface happiness and then there is deeper and inner happiness. There could be lots of knowledge of life coming from the religions, but it is not the religion, it is the individual spirituality that matters. Human knowledge cannot be bound. Boundaries have always been created for security and control, but it’s proven in our history that individual is the one who is best suited for this job of self regulation. There is a better order in society when the individual has control of himself as the CEO.
The strengthening of the individual has been discouraged throughout our history. All our governing systems have been either dictatorships or religions in the past. The self determined individual has been forced to be a weaker individual by the controlling authorities.
Nobody should use God as a political weapon. If somebody does they are committing a spiritual crime.
There can be a contradiction of knowledge in different cultures. It all comes down to the individual. No matter where you are born, no matter what your cultural differences and values are, you, the individual call the shots. If you are in a suppressive culture, and if you can’t speak because of danger to your life, then you can choose to move somewhere you are accepted. Some people won’t have that choice. Even in a limited circumstance, you can still think for yourself and choose not to participate in extremes.
We make extreme choices for our own reasons; someone killed my brother so I want revenge, or my land is taken, I should fight for my rights, or someone raped my sister, and I want justice for that. So I should be able to come out and say the reason for my revenge or my action, instead of blaming and playing politics of God and Devil.
Personal insecurities usually make an individual to seek a powerful group regardless of the values. Group politics drives these contradictions, and the individual has to strain out the political differences and make his/her judgment for right and wrong.
Human beings are evolving organisms. Every day we have new discoveries in all areas of our life. We have been, we are, and we will be learning everyday of our life. Based on that, existing knowledge may not be credible in the future. Often people resist change whether at an individual level, national level and especially religiously . There will always be a small segment of people who stubbornly and passionately hold onto being right about existing knowledge.
Ego and pride has been helpful and destructive for us at the same time, throughout our history. If ego is leading us to self-destruction, we need to learn more about the ego. Where does it originate and where does it belong? If you dig, you will find the connection between the weaker individual and a stronger sense of belonging to a group. They will put the group’s will over their own values when making a decision. My intention is to make the individual strong enough so they can become a CEO who can challenge everything before making a decision.
My ideal individual is a CEO who knows well about all departments of life and who has the ability to understand that sense of belonging should be to the humanity instead of a one particular group and he/she can separate the group politics, individual liberties, God, spirituality, and humanity all at the same time.
I wish to encourage people to find the identity that God has really meant for them and discover their inner CEO. You will not only solve your personal problems better, you can be more effective and productive in society. You will thus create a strong and peaceful society.
Group politics can make you think that you are fighting for freedom, but the freedom is not as it seems. If you talk about freedom as an individual, you have to make sure that you don’t become the slave of a sense of belonging.
