Let’s imagine you’ve boiled a pot of water for tea and are about to pour it into a cup. If you’re not careful, the water might spill over because the pot and cup have vastly different capacities. Naturally, the pot is larger in all dimensions than the cup, so it’s impractical to expect the cup to contain all the water from the pot. This is common sense.
To illustrate further, let’s turn to our physical world. Rivers flow into the ocean endlessly without making a significant impact because the ocean has the immense capacity to absorb it all. Now, consider what happens when the capacity is less than that of the pot or the ocean.
Imagine yourself as a cup with an ocean-like potential. Despite this, personal and group-related insecurities often make you feel and think that you are no more than a mere physical vessel.
The human imagination is akin to an ocean or even space itself. Though it may seem improbable, I previously used the term “ocean in a drop.” Despite seeming insignificant, as individuals, we truly are an ocean within a drop. This is because, despite the torrents of knowledge continuously pouring in throughout our civilization and evolution, not only do we retain it, but we also pass it on to future generations. We create and develop new neurons as needed, indicating that we have yet to fully grasp our true potential.
Spiritually, we all carry a “God particle,” with God physically manifesting through humanity, utilizing the human individual as a vessel. Both are forever intertwined in the balanced operation of the living, breathing combination of spirit and physical, though mortal, entities. When God moves on, the physical body ceases, but the spirit moves forward to the next stage.
The continuum of life and its evolution is perpetually transmitted to subsequent generations through the evolutionary process. This means that potential has always existed and continues to do so. Thus, individually, we must delve deep within ourselves to uncover our potential, at least for our own sake. We can evolve further, accumulate diverse knowledge, and pass it down to future generations. This process has been ongoing, is ongoing, and will persist until humanity reaches its zenith. Where exactly are we headed? As individuals, we may not have that answer, but our descendants will inherit our legacies and pursue further depths.
As individuals, spiritually, we possess the capacity of an ocean, yet physically mortal, we face limitations akin to a cup. Managing the vast disparity between our physical and spiritual selves can be bewildering. Therefore, in our lifetimes, wisdom is needed to strike a balance within. Acknowledging our mortality while living a mortal life can provide clarity and perspective. Consequently, individually, we must seek this understanding; otherwise, we risk internal conflict, leading to unhappiness, discontentment, and associated losses that could jeopardize our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Being a cup physically and an ocean spiritually can tear apart the ordinary individual unless common sense prevails. As mortal beings, trying to contain an ocean in a cup presents challenges. Therefore, it’s essential to apply spirituality-related knowledge, such as understanding free will and personal justice, especially when navigating the politics of belonging. Losing this balance can lead to personal suffering.
Becoming the CEO of your own life, capable of organizing everything and everyone effectively, should be a valued quality and asset in our societies. We should collectively question why this isn’t encouraged more. If you feel your cup is constantly overflowing, it’s crucial to take charge as a CEO of your life. If you’ve been convinced you’re not significant enough to be your own CEO, you’ve been misled by the politics of belonging, relinquishing your power to your group. As the CEO of your life, remember that time is finite. Use your mortal life wisely to do justice to yourself. Failing to do so is like living with an overflowing cup, defying common sense that tells us a pot holds more than a cup. By overextending ourselves, hoping to live forever and assuming God-like roles, we neglect our mortality and create unnecessary stress, despite holding the key to balance within ourselves.
Allowing desires to outweigh efforts leads to self-imposed chaos. Such paths can rob us of happiness and contentment, which is unwise for mortals. By maintaining a spiritual perspective alongside our mortal nature, we can align our thoughts. Achieving comfort in our own skin can be challenging in today’s world, given our blessed free will and sense of personal justice, often overshadowed by the powerful influence of group politics. Failure to utilize these spiritual insights makes mortality difficult to grasp. Conflicting personal desires with group politics can result in self-criticism, revealing the formidable influence of group identity. Religions and nationalisms, founded upon and perpetuated by such group affiliations, continue to fuel prejudice and discrimination worldwide, despite our shared humanity.
Yet, within each of us resides a fundamental decency. Conflict often arises when personal convictions clash with group affiliations, even among the educated, compromising spiritual principles. Without a strong personality, individuals may favor group loyalty over spiritual integrity. However, strengthening our spiritual side to honor free will and personal justice requires introspective self-management. Until we transcend group politics and prioritize human unity, these differences will persist. Our spiritual side continually urges us towards honesty, truth, and freedom from political agendas.
Internal conflicts and self-doubt can be tormenting. Ignoring this inner turmoil risks physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Therefore, self-understanding is crucial.
Genetically, we’re designed to make choices, making personal responsibility integral to our lives. To attain wisdom, one must truly become the CEO of their life. Although groups may oppose individuals asserting freedom, personal growth demands reclaiming autonomy. Surrendering personal liberties for false security contradicts our mortal reality, ultimately risking a life spent accumulating without fulfillment.
Remember, your life is your project, and you are its manager. You can either conform to the system or live fully as an individual. God did not create us as mere parts of a machine; our free will allows us to decide. Despite external influences, reciprocation and personal justice remain essential aspects of life’s journey.
Security and comfort arise naturally when we give and receive. Hoarding beyond necessity neglects balance—the key to justice for oneself, God, and others. Unfortunately, societal inclinations often sacrifice individual liberties for collective gains, ignoring the principles of justice.
As individuals, we can live exclusively for ourselves, neglecting reciprocal responsibilities. Despite knowing God and community, personal injustices leave lasting scars. Strengthening oneself against the complexities of reciprocity requires assertiveness and resilience.
Balancing our limited time on Earth isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Understanding our mortal nature, free will, and the politics of belonging is crucial. Compliance with personal justice creates internal balance; without it, the root of our problems lies within. Understanding how to live comfortably in our mortal skin hinges on reciprocity.
It’s challenging to balance life’s demands, especially when religious rituals and traditions overshadow familial bonds. Elevating religious rules above family needs reflects the overpowering influence of belonging politics. Choosing religious doctrines over familial love signals the grip of group identity. Any belief system advocating this over family should be scrutinized by those valuing familial bonds. In the journey of a mortal being, everything has its place, and balance is paramount. Selective adherence doesn’t make one a good CEO; it diminishes the God-given status we possess.
No matter the influence, we must mature into a pillar of support rather than a fragile entity always seeking security. Survival isn’t solely through willpower or emotion but by adaptive CEO-like qualities. Humanity’s evolution underscores our capacity for change.
We often revere ancestral knowledge as flawless, often at the cost of conflict, especially regarding religious differences. Many conflicts stem from our unfaltering faith in the wisdom of our forebears.
We’re not mere creatures needing carrot-and-stick conditioning. Good deeds should stem from reciprocal responsibility, not fear of hell or desire for heaven. Our actions should honor the intricate workings that sustain life, appreciating the temporary physicality we enjoy.
Unfortunately, religious leaders sometimes prioritize sacrifices for the afterlife. Regardless of their intentions, ignoring happiness in our current life undermines the philosophy of mortality. Every individual has the choice to live expansively or minimally, holding potential as the CEO of their life. Political leaders—whether racial, gendered, religious, or national—often diminish individual significance for mass control. Would you surrender your innate CEO status to another human? Continually questioning ourselves guides us toward fulfilling our true potential as intended by a higher power. Remember, we are more than just physical bodies; we transcend mere existence.
Treating ourselves as animals, subjected to external control, is misguided. Society’s rules shouldn’t compel us; self-regulation prevails beyond mere policing. However, some exploit weak regulations, perpetuating societal dysfunction. Not all harbor untamed instincts; the notion of pervasive human savagery is unfounded.
Our loyalties and ideologies inevitably intertwine with group politics but should never eclipse our spiritual values. Compassion, personal justice, forgiveness, sacrifice, and unconditional love—freely given, not coerced—are our spiritual jewels. The politics of belonging often favor the masses over individuals, necessitating individual advocacy for equal rights. Balancing diverse affiliations—be it with humans, corporations, political entities, or authorities—ensures equitable treatment and rights.
Emotional conflicts define our daily existence, influencing our personal growth and societal progress. Despite advancement, health imbalances persist, like the stresses of navigating love triangles. Equally dividing passionate, instinctive, and universal love prevents emotional turmoil and preserves inner peace.
Living solely as physical beings overlooks our spiritual dimension. We possess free will to navigate mortality’s lessons. Extremes—selfishness or self-sacrifice—undermine our spiritual health, fostering discontentment, unhappiness, even depression or anxiety. Achieving balance, spiritually and physically, defines a successful mortal life.
Individuals, like creatures, crave freedom. However, there’s inherent satisfaction in our mortal limitations, finding deep fulfillment in serving others.
Belonging to a community offers comfort during vulnerable times. We often attribute our actions to divine influence, ascribing them to God or the Devil. In reality, these actions manifest through human agency, not supernatural forces. Our communities’ territorial ideologies sometimes demonize opposing groups, perpetuating conflict. Political powers manipulate individuals in the name of nationalism, religion, even God.
Today, history reflects violence and spiritual transgressions in the name of group identity, absolving individual responsibility. Rectifying this requires individual strength. Religious and nationalistic leaders discourage such independence, leveraging guilt and shame to maintain control. Religious advisors promise fulfillment through prayer, placing responsibility solely on the supplicant’s sincerity and cleanliness.
Indoctrinated from birth as flawed or sinful, individuals blame themselves or God, but rarely the political manipulators.
If we all take on the role of the CEO of our lives and put everything in perspective, we can do God’s work by translating spiritual thoughts into physical actions. Merely praying and worshiping isn’t sufficient. Populations, humanity, and God need our hands, backs, and shoulders—not just our heads bowed in fear. God’s true work is us helping each other. Since God’s spiritual nature doesn’t require physicality, godly work manifests through us helping those in need within humanity. Our unknowns aren’t our realities; our physical world defines human reality. Therefore, I believe our prayers and worship should also reflect practical, physically-based realities.
If we fail to help each other, the prayers of those praying may not be physically fulfilled. Looking at the reality of human wars and destruction, people fight and pray for the destruction of other human beings.
Our problems, such as global warming and infections like Ebola and Coronavirus, won’t be contained if we believe it’s solely God’s job to do so. Either we should refrain from meddling with it or pray for our safety.
Remember, I repeatedly emphasize that God’s work is carried out physically by human beings. Name any good, spiritual action that occurs without human input becoming a physical reality. You might think of miracles, but consider how many miracles you’ve witnessed compared to the countless good deeds performed by ordinary people every day. By now, you should understand my point.
My perspective on miracles occurring every day is a child born with a physical body that embodies the spirit of God, which then transforms spirituality into physical actions. One might ask about bad deeds or the Devil—these are the questions you should constantly pose to yourself to set your triangle right. This website’s name, “Who Flipped My Triangle,” aims to shift real responsibility onto real people instead of hiding behind God and the Devil.
Every child born is a physical instrument for God, but unfortunately, it can also go the other way. Therefore, comprehending human responsibilities is crucial, both individually and collectively. Understanding how God’s work is achieved is essential. Our social crimes against each other are essentially spiritual crimes, all perpetrated by human individuals. Who are these individuals? They’re usually those striving for security, forgetting their mortal nature, or experiencing early love losses (Read Love Triangle).
If your group makes you believe you’re an insignificant part of God or humanity, your wings are clipped, preventing you from flying solo. Religious education often emphasizes that God and the Devil are primary figures, rendering the human individual insignificant.
A bit of logic reveals the true importance and reality of human individuals. If human beings were to disappear, would God or the Devil retain any significance? If individuals recognize their importance and place in the grand scheme of life, religious leaders would lose authority and importance, opting for a political rather than spiritual path. They promise heaven and instill fear of hell. Analyze this and see what it truly signifies—a carrot-and-stick philosophy, in my view.
As humanity evolves, concepts that work temporarily eventually become outdated. The carrot-and-stick approach has proven ineffective in the long run for human beings. I particularly oppose it because I believe politics has no place in the spiritual realm.
Animals are trained using the carrot-and-stick philosophy. Similarly, religions often view us as mere animals devoid of our spiritual attributes, thus treating us as beings to be controlled through force and fear. If we were truly animals, we could be molded and controlled, yet social or spiritual crimes have always existed. Unfortunately, human beings aren’t like animals. Defying religious rituals, traditions, and rules isn’t new; we’ve always evolved and even created new religions and sects. It’s all because…
We are a blend of spirit and physicality with free will, personal justice, the capacity to sacrifice, forgive, and above all, love. We can self-regulate and question authority. If we’re not free or are oppressed, we can sense and understand it. Having others force us can be problematic. If you, as an individual, are the CEO of your life, you see the politics behind traditions, customs, rules, and rituals, questioning authority. In the past, this was a serious crime, but today, equal human rights have ushered in an era where religious beliefs take a backseat to equality.
Extremists resort to extreme measures, inciting religious wars to maintain the relevance of religions. They ensure educated, liberal-minded people remain insecure, encouraging adherence to group ideologies.
Humanity remains divided in over two hundred ways, yet from a spiritual and scientific viewpoint, our group politics simply don’t make sense. If God’s work is carried out by living, breathing human beings, then it transcends race, gender, sexual orientation, color, nation, religion, or sect. Every living, breathing human being is part of God, and we cannot kill each other in the name of God.
Remember, God and human beings are universal, without boundaries. Even archenemies use drugs invented by individuals from opposing groups merely to survive, yet they fail to acknowledge or appreciate them due to belonging to different groups. In times of need, things cross boundaries. The Ebola virus was contained through collective efforts. The space station is another example, and today, global warming and coronavirus demand collective attention. Can Trump’s wall really shield America from extreme weather events linked to global warming? In reality, whom are we deceiving with our politics? Spiritually and scientifically, we are all in this together, so differences in politics should be set aside sooner rather than later.
The glory days of religions were associated with swords, spears, and arrows, attributing weather and natural disasters to God’s wrath—still a belief in some human segments. With weapons of mass destruction, we can’t entrust everything to people who disregard personal and individual responsibility. No wall is high enough to prevent destruction. Therefore, it’s time for flawed humanity to come together to survive.
Our conflicts, social and spiritual crimes against each other, aren’t just the Devil’s doing or manifestations of our animalistic side’s strength. We’re also responsible for them, as every one of us possesses free will. We can counter these by raising awareness of our spiritual side.
Our evolution, civilization, and progress should aid us, but all kinds of politics hinder us. Our political education emphasizing group loyalty over human belonging ranks highly. If you’re told all your life that loyalty to your ancestors’ group is paramount in your mortal life…
You’re raised believing opposing groups aim to rob or kill you, with individual security foundational to our social governing systems.
Regarding religion, it professes belief in God, yet its actions contradict its teachings. It preaches compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice, and love, yet fails miserably in practice. Words may be spiritual, but actions speak of barbarism. A spiritually healthy individual should benefit greatly from believing in God, yet religious conflicts portray spiritual bankruptcy. They believe in God, but their politics of belonging supersede spiritual values. They advocate committing spiritual crimes against individuals who don’t comply with traditions, customs, rules, and rituals. Collectively, we’re all victims of extreme group politics.
As I’ve said, every child born in the world arrives with a fully functional body, hands, backs, and shoulders to give physical life to a spiritual God. Regrettably, we destroy these helpers, prideful that we’re killing them in God’s name.
Consider with common sense: why would God instruct us to kill people in His name? We aren’t genetically programmed to kill each other. Proof lies in our free will. If God controlled us, we couldn’t commit any crime, let alone spiritual ones. Understanding ourselves as human beings involves understanding our capacity and potential. As CEOs, we mustn’t forget our mortality in our brief time on earth. Reciprocation should underpin our foundational philosophy, not the carrot-and-stick approach…
