Potentially every human individual explores, discovers, learns and teaches as he/she evolves with personal knowledge thus human beings are an evolving organism, so the knowledge of human beings can not be forced into a cage, can, or a single book. As our knowledge changes with our evolution, our religions become even more tainted with the emotional yet political human interventions because of the sense of belonging.
Religious words have been preached as God’s words thus for the general population they can’t be changed and if you can’t change God’s words you will have a heck of a time to keep people in line by force especially when God is not clearly present or even understood.
In the spiritual reality you can’t just work against the equal human rights and claim these words are from God, why would God be prejudice against self. If the whole world is connected with the internet. Any strong political stand against the equal human rights would be published within seconds and mocked even if the religions have been calling about the words of God. There has never been a time like today, the information can be shredded down and questioned not only by the same religion but all human beings including competing belief systems or even the people whom have no belief system.
Questioning every word of God is the most common in this era so it would take a conviction from the religious individual to take a stand, otherwise it would be like the pope whom took a political stand to comply with the demands of the time. Personally I believe if you follow the spirituality wholeheartedly you would not have to make political adjustments. Spiritually if you respect all individuals equally regardless of his/her background you would not have to go through the discrimination thus there would not be unequal rights for any one particular race, gender, nation, religion or its sect.
Our history shows all religions discriminate against each other which makes them working against the spirituality because they all are working as the political entities. If you think you, somehow are better than others because of your belief systems it is not because of the spirituality it is clearly because of the politics. Boasting that you are going to heaven because you follow certain religion is against spirituality because if you are spiritual your first order is to be humble. Putting each other down is insulting and blaming God because we all are the cells of God. If you really believe that following your religions is taking you to spirituality then you should know that disrespecting each other takes you further from the spiritual world.
Believing that your religion or your belief system or even education level makes you better is an egotistic state of mind, if you understand it, that automatically makes you a CEO because you are able to assess, judge and self regulate. Free will made every human with the capacity to think, decide and choose. Any thing said with certain intentions centuries ago may have changed or been twisted by the politicians.
Beauty of the belief systems is the same but the poets use words differently to say the same thing and the reader can always enjoy it more if it relates with his/her personal life. The message can change with time. Today’s new problems need a CEO’s vision and abilities to solve personal problems and tread through difficult territory instead of falling back on archaic centuries old solutions.
When it comes to spirituality, believe in one God as one entity or as a whole humanity, consider your self as cells of it just like all the others and the others as yourself, so you can learn to deal with others with soft heart. Sure you can have your belonging groups traditions and customs but don’t mix up religion with the law and order because, God had kept and is still keeping himself illusive so we can evolve. Regardless of your belief system, without the spirituality you got nothing, there is no hell or heaven because in the spiritual world you can’t be in pain and suffering and with out the pain and suffering you can’t recognize the hell or even the heaven.
We have the free will, we think and choose in our living years, and we have hundreds of different societies with billions of differently thinking human beings. If you are in spirituality, you are free of group politics, which should make you gentle towards others but group politics has been and still is making us kill each other with our half knowledge of God and even ourselves.
Before the organized religions became organized, knowledge came through sages, wise men and women and shamans. The right path to God does not necessarily come through organized religions. People have always had direct connections to God. All prophets were individuals and their religions have come to life with the existence of human beings even the knowledge of God exists with human beings.
There has always been a quest to understand to achieve the human potential and become spiritually evolved. Each and every one of us carry a little particle of God inside as a soul, so the concept of God exists with and within the humanity, and human individual exists and is alive with the particle of God inside. Just like our body depends on oxygen to function, human individual needs God particle to function with decency and humanity.
Humanity is God and we express our Godly side with good deeds to humanity by reciprocating. We don’t have the mental capacity yet, to completely understand God, but one that is understandable, is that God’s physical work is done by the human, so God cannot be some separate entity out their or in here. We all carry particle of God in us which enables us to understand spirituality and do God’s work with or without religious knowledge. That particle of God within us trigger the individual spirituality because potentially we are ripened to be Godly people. This beautiful concept of God whether its understood or not is for the human individual. If you utilize it to create your personal life’s rhythmic music the benefits are for you if you choose not to it is your choice but life without the rhythm has its harms to the individual. Regardless it is our personal choice to live as we wish.
We as individuals have always been contributing to the causes of God or humanity so the claims from religious leaders, that anybody who does not follow any religion can not be on the right path is false. The right path is the personal spirituality with or without the religion. If you do good deeds for God or humanity you are a good being and are reciprocating thus doing God’s work spiritually so you should have no fear of hell. For instance personally I believe if the inventor of the insulin was an atheist should not matter, it is because of him there are millions of people alive and doing God’s work so claiming he is going to hell is a hell of a claim one should not claim.
Religion is like a team and when everybody works with the team ethics the team is rewarded with success. The individual is just as important as the team itself. If the individual is bought by the opposing team the success of the belonging team could be jeopardized. From groups that form gangs to the groups that become a religion, every human group minimizes the individual’s importance. Right or wrong this policy is not related to the spirituality of the group thus if it is not spiritual it must be political.
Every religion has people who think that there are a lot of religious practices that don’t make any sense, but they don’t question these practices because of their sense of belonging trumps personal views and values, thus we have political and spiritual problems because of the weak individuals.
Should one question or let the sense of belonging rule their whole life to the point that the individual losses his/her self identity? People who follow unquestioningly are not yet evolved to the status of a CEO.
From buying and selling human to human sacrifice, these were common religious practices not too long ago. We are evolving at a slow speed because our the sense of belonging is still able to trump everything else for most individuals. One must think outside of this box of the sense of belonging in order to evolve to the God given status of a CEO.
Today the vast majority of people have become moderates, yet still we have religious wars going on all over the world. If we start to peel the surface for the causes we will find the culprits to be the individuals’ weakness, insecurities, emotional revenge for the love loss and the need for the sense of belonging. If an individual can harness the uncontrollable sense of belonging and balance it with a sense of freedom he/she can achieve the status of the CEO.
Most of us believe our individual self – identity is not worth anything unless we have the approval of the belonging group, especially if it is related with sensitive issues like religion and medicine. We can go back and forth or in circles just to find out at times that old knowledge is more powerful than the newly discovered knowledge, yet it should be a continuum.
Being scientific is great if we can take the biased ego out of it, and old religious knowledge can be very useful if we can clean it up from ideas such as, ‘my God is better than yours thus we are better than you and we are going to heaven and every body else is going to hell’. ‘I pray to God which makes me better than those who don’t pray regardless of my character’. Or ‘I went to school for so many years thus I am better whether I make a good use of my education as a wisdom or not’. For example, there are a lot of educated criminals in jails or extremists in their respective belief systems all over the world.
Being better than others is an assumption created by group politics of all nations and religions, and logically it has no ground. An evolving organism cannot make such claims because it is still growing. Setting scientific standards is only useful if we admit and accept we are still a work in progress. Not only does it help us to continue to make new discoveries, it helps us to stay humble. Learning to stay humble is a wisdom of life and leads the individual to a knowledge worth exploring for all people.
The human brain’s ability to understand and the body as a whole is like a brand new computer which comes with all the abilities, makes me think that for me personally there is no doubt, that knowledge came from a divine source. Human as a whole is a package which has a free will and the emotions simultaneously, thus we have the ability to mix, blend and use all kind of knowledge. If the knowledge is influenced by the sense of belonging, our knowledge, divine or not, has room for human intervention. Thus conflict breeding human emotions have to be recognized and dealt with as one of the causes of our social ills, internal and external conflicts and even wars.
Most religions have been that breaking the boundaries can be a crime big enough to shun or even kill the individual, thus logically pursuing our potential goes against all the religious belief systems.
Now that raises the question, who is going against God’s will? The follower of the religions, or the seeker of the human potential? All religions are susceptible to the influences of group politics and the weak individual’s strong need to belong.
Why would God put an evolutionary potential in human beings and stay illusive Himself?
I believe following and digging in deeper for our potential is the way that God had meant for us. Suppressing our potential goes against God’s true intention for us. We all need to look at ourselves individually, what kind of potential do we carry inside personally?
If every one of us is a CEO with unlimited potential, then why do we let ourselves give up our greatest asset and become a blind follower?
This will always come down to the security. The majority of us are fearful because we have lost our spirituality and replaced it with politicized religion. We think that our religion is going to take us to God’s way, but it is the individual spirituality that matters the most to God and that could be the reason, why the concept of heaven and hell is preached by the religions.
East and west has God on different seats in the cars of their lives. If you have been taught that God should be on the driving seat, whether you are eastern or western, you are undermining God’s trust in you. If you put God on the back seat, or altogether out of your car, you are overestimating yourself and eventually you will end up disrupting the balance of your own life. From anxiety, depression, stress and stress related physical ills, psychological or spiritual illnesses to loss of happiness can be a total loss for the individual especially in a temporary life.
Logically it is the job of an educated individual to fit God into their life and to balance the controlling issues, and benefit from the concept of God or belief system yet it is the opposite the more educated you become less you are inclined to believe in God. If you consider your self religious and are still battling problems like anxiety, depression, and stress, you need to look at your personal spirituality and question yourself, do you really and I mean really believe in God? If you are not fulfilled in any way look beyond the boundaries of your religion and become a CEO of your life.
Religions pressure you to put God into the driver’s seat of your life. If you would rather take charge and drive, but can’t disobey, remember it is because of a strong sense of belonging. This can cause you to have inner conflicts and psychological problems. The logical explanation of free will is that God wants us to take charge and drive, while staying humble and keeping God on the passenger seat for Guidance.
Taking God altogether out of your life is not the answer. Psychological and spiritual illnesses and related problems are found more often in the belief-less individuals, regardless of the comforts and blessings of life. Sure chemicals are a big factor but the cause of the loss or lack of reproduction of those chemicals can be the constantly nagging fears and insecurities.
As an individual you must assume the responsibilities as a CEO; do justice to God by reciprocating, be the friend to yourself, and everyone and everything around yourself. Happiness is your goal and living this life with justice to all, including yourself is your human destiny. If you feel that you get stressed driving your car of life alone then you may need help from the stronger partner, family or community because that constant stress can be wrong system for you to adopt. Present day society may have the rules for you to be strong, self sufficient and even help the others. If that works against your nature, you just may need to be spiritually educated, belief system adjustments can help you to gain self respect and self-esteem because you are directly connected to the source, you are not the data installed by your belonging group you are the one who runs your computer.
Regardless of God’s existence, Big bang or how we came to life, whether we evolved or were created should not be the reason to kill each other. With an evolving knowledge you can’t just go to the extreme to prove your self right.
Science and religion are not two different things. They are human knowledge and human is still a work in progress. When you are not a finished product, claiming to be right and others wrong is under the influences of the ego and remember that ego, pride and honor are the three children of the sense of belonging. If you can understand and balance the out of control sense of belonging you would be a humble CEO of your life.
If somebody is spiritually evolved they will have internal security because of their own belief system. They would not have to fear to the point where they give up their CEO status. If God gives us free oxygen and an atmosphere that saves us from falling meteors, externally and internally all these systems have to run perfectly in order to keep us alive until our time is up. This hand of God has been and is always there providing us with life itself. We humans do not even have control over our next breath because our external and internal space is chaotic yet perfect to keep us alive.
If we put these things together individually – to evolve spiritually and seek our God given potential, this binding together enables us to reach the heights where we can separate religious ego, group politics, overcome sense of belonging and become a true CEO.
What does it mean to be a CEO? There are several departments in one’s life.
We always end up at a crossroad where we must make a choice. If your individual choices are influenced by the social influences, rules or expectations you are losing your CEO status. All your choices should be made by a CEO who is able to see the influences of society whether they are hidden in religious practices or enforced as law and order.
For instance in your love triangle, if you are influenced by passionate love to the point that you are willing to give up your instinctive love for family for example or universal love for God and humanity. Or if you choose universal love over instinctive or passionate love choosing God over your family is an extreme.
A CEO has the wisdom to see through these superficial influences of society, you just can’t pick your mom over your wife or child or society over your kids, you just have to become strong enough to put everyone in their place. Humans have the ability to create balance and enjoy all three corners of love triangle.(Read love triangle)
What are the responsibilities of the CEO
The CEO’s responsibility is a life that is full of contentment and happiness. If you are always thinking about attaining more or reaching for more it is great for achievements, but it makes you live in the future. Living in the future robs you of living today. This adds up to an unsatisfied life.
Fundamentally we are taught to live for the future by our societies, even our religions say to live for the after life and sure they have the reasons. The more successful an individual, the more successful the society thus the conformation begins. Our successes in life are measured by the scale of perfection, but it is human nature that no matter what you have, you want more. If you have ten million dollars you want twenty million after that. This means there is no perfection for the individual who lives in the future. There was a song I heard
and I Quote” First an individual wants some food but the desires grow, if you are walking you want a bicycle, if you have bicycle you want a car”.” End Quote”
Creating personal happiness and contentment of life is the individual’s responsibility. Always living in the future is like being society’s worker bee. Life is not fulfilling unless it’s lived in the present. I tell my clients that you are standing in life with one foot in front and the other in back, it is just like one foot is in the future and the other one is in the past and you are pissing on the present. If you are always pissing on the present your whole life will be pissed on, and it will be by yourself, don’t let it happen because of the other people, society, nation or religion.
If you always compare your life with the others who have more than you, you may live your life like a competition. This mode neglects the fulfillment of the present thus leaving you with an unfulfilled and empty life. If you don’t or are unable to see life beyond a competitive mode, satisfaction will always be illusive like God.
A habit of living for more and better can make life’s fulfillment a tall order. Societies need over-achievers to benefit others around them, but if their own life is discontent, they are not living as a CEO. It is their responsibility not to get caught as a worker bee in a competitive mode because we all as human individuals are aware of our mortality. It is important to live your life for you as well.
Since we are born with the individual powers of five dollars,(read five bucks) we do understand the value of a personal sense of freedom. The sense of freedom has always been there even if it is buried deep into the dungeons of insecurities and fears of the unknown, whether these fears are related to mortality or to being shunned by the people you belong to.
The fears usually have deeply connected roots to one’s happiness level. If you live unhappily, you still live, but without the most important aspect of a mortal life. It is a well known fact that an unhappy and discontent life is a foundational cause of known and unknown human diseases. If a disease cuts an already temporary life even shorter than it is, then it is an individual’s responsibility to do whatever it takes to become a CEO. It is the CEO who can put all the departments of life into a healthy perspective.
Seeking freedom is one thing, but understanding freedom is another. If you live in a free society, but have extreme fears, to the point that you rob yourself of happiness, it does not necessarily mean you are free.
If you look at your life with a CEO’s eyes, you will find that happiness is the only treasure you can take along. Everything else has to be left behind even loved ones. We have memory of our life and we judge it on our death bed as we pass, but the memories of happy moments let us know that we have lived life the way it was meant.
If you have put off everything for later and even deprive your self of happiness, you die with an unfulfilled life, so the emotions like happiness should not be ignored. It’s a powerful fact that we find deep happiness in serving humanity, so understanding happiness is crucial. It is logical to understand and accept the power of emotions because literally our life depends on that.
Happiness is an individual’s responsibility. If God has given you less power than you want, it is still up to you to be happy with whatever you have or be unhappy and struggle to attain more of whatever you are lacking for the rest of your life. If you work hard and sacrifice everything to attain something material, it is a wrong perception of happiness. In a mortal life happiness is the only treasure one should focus on.
If you feel happy to work or in owning properties it is your prerogative, but you have to understand that you will leave everything behind. It all comes down to that important CEO fiver.
If you feel that it is not enough you are under the influences of society more than you should be. A temporary life is a limited time so it should not be sacrificed intentionally, sure you can plan but always remember the deal should be in your favor. If life is not prefect for you, always remember life is perfect with all its imperfections just because you are alive. If you look deeply, there are unaccountable things have to go perfectly right, just to keep you alive and yet you have no say or control.
