Every human individual potentially explores, discovers, learns, and teaches as they evolve with personal knowledge. Thus, human beings are an evolving organism, so the knowledge of human beings cannot 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. If you can’t change God’s words, you will have a heck of a time keeping 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 equal human rights and claim these words are from God. Why would God be prejudiced against self? If the whole world is connected with the internet, any strong political stand against 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 who have no belief system.
Questioning every word of God is most common in this era, so it would take conviction from the religious individual to take a stand; otherwise, it would be like the pope who took a political stand to comply with the demands of the time. Personally, I believe if you follow spirituality wholeheartedly, you would not have to make political adjustments. Spiritually, if you respect all individuals equally regardless of their background, you would not have to go through 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 work against spirituality because they all are working as political entities. If you think you are somehow better than others because of your belief systems, it is not because of spirituality; it is clearly because of politics. Boasting that you are going to heaven because you follow a 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. Anything said with certain intentions centuries ago may have changed or been twisted by the politicians.
The 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 to 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, believing in one God as one entity or as a whole humanity, considering yourself as cells of it just like all the others and the others as yourself, so you can learn to deal with others with a soft heart. Sure, you can have your belonging groups, traditions, and customs, but don’t mix up religion with law and order because God has kept and is still keeping Himself elusive so we can evolve. Regardless of your belief system, without spirituality, you have nothing; there is no hell or heaven because in the spiritual world, you can’t be in pain and suffering, and without pain and suffering, you can’t recognize the hell or even the heaven.
We have 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 human potential and become spiritually evolved. Each and every one of us carries a little particle of God inside as a soul, so the concept of God exists with and within humanity, and human individual exists and is alive with the particle of God inside. Just like our body depends on oxygen to function, the human individual needs the 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 thing that is understandable is that God’s physical work is done by the human, so God cannot be some separate entity out there or in here. We all carry a 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 triggers the individual spirituality because potentially we are ripened to be Godly people. This beautiful concept of God, whether it’s 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 cannot 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 insulin was an atheist, it should not matter;
