Let’s critically examine our sense of belonging. It manifests not only in race, color, gender, nation, or religion but also in our everyday politics and sports. Personally, I’m not keen on politics, yet discussions on belonging inevitably bring politics into focus. Politics permeates our daily lives—from personal relationships and friendships to workplaces—fueling insecurities everywhere. Sports, driven by community pride, generate substantial revenue; locals passionately support their teams regardless of performance. Ever wondered why? It all boils down to loyalty to our sense of belonging.
As the CEO of our lives, we can assess who played better, which political party aligns more with genuine spiritual values. Politics, rooted in power and control, remains highly subjective. I’m puzzled when religious adherents vote counter to their professed spiritual values.
Without discussing genuine love, justice, and spirituality, achieving equal human rights remains elusive. Organized religions inherently involve politics, regardless of claims. Spirituality should underpin any belief system, but whenever people gather, the politics of belonging inevitably influence our actions.
Prophets and sages imparted profound wisdom, yet politics of belonging tainted spirituality. Religious conflicts persist because these paths aren’t purely spiritual. Even Buddhist monks, despite efforts, couldn’t evade politics; across eras, religious differences still lead to bloodshed.
Today’s political parties heavily promote group allegiance. They propagate prejudice and discrimination, akin to historical religious dogma. Consider American politics: while racism is condemned, its remnants endure, ingrained in our daily lives. Equal human rights exist, yet factions in every group strive for dominance. Why does prejudice persist? Because group allegiance supersedes our universal humanity.
Political parties struggle to transcend prejudiced agendas. Each claims opposition incapacity, yet all harbor shortcomings. Conservatives oppose taxes but implemented GST; liberals initially opposed it but continued it in power. Financial failures are bipartisan issues, yet both sides justify their policies.
Our welfare, healthcare, and elderly care systems are untouchable due to public demand. Conservatives traditionally oppose abortion but often avoid discussing it. Why? It’s pure politics—a stark contrast to community values. If a community can’t care for its sick, it’s unwell itself.
Should we delve deeper, we find ourselves in a dog-eat-dog philosophy. Community deaths from neglect are not just poor socialism but spiritual bankruptcy. Political parties must inject spirituality into their agendas. Taxes should be viewed as spiritual contributions, not burdens. Viewing governance as business overlooks its core mission: aiding communities. People flock to Western nations for governance founded on human rights and individual value, defying claims of spiritual bankruptcy.
Religious societies devalue individuals, betraying spiritual essence. Claiming spiritual superiority undermines true spirituality. Islam preaches equality but politically asserts superiority, contradicting true spiritual intent.
Prejudice and discrimination corrode communities, eroding unity and taxpayers’ support. Integrating diverse perspectives is crucial to progress. Mixing religion and politics compromises spiritual purity, leading to deceit and hidden agendas. To maintain spiritual integrity, separate politics from faith.
Why support a political party that mismanages finances? Loyalty to groups influences individual actions, contrary to spiritual principles. Transparent self-reflection is vital. Succumbing to group politics blinds us to our true nature and spiritual potential.
Our personal sense of justice transcends barriers of gender, race, nation, or religion. However, belonging politics stifles its universal application. Overcoming this barrier in our evolved era requires crossing boundaries imposed by group politics.
People often mirror their parents or societal norms, staying loyal to their groups; stepping outside this box is deemed traitorous. However, the rise of equal human rights is integrating into global justice systems, advocating blind justice, irrespective of race, color, gender, or creed.
Observing other creatures reveals intriguing behaviors: squirrels store nuts, while cats and dogs bury food. Unlike these creatures, humans plan for the future despite mortal insecurity. Our life’s boat is destined to sink, emphasizing the importance of enjoying, being fair, and reciprocating while afloat in mortal skin—no ifs, ands, or exceptions.
If a political party dictates your thoughts without regard for spiritual values, you unwittingly further their agenda at the cost of personal happiness. Your responsibility lies in choosing actions, especially in today’s political climate. Using free will responsibly aligns with your personal sense of justice, rooted in treating others as you wish to be treated.
Considering mortality, voting for parties aligned with spiritual values and equal justice becomes paramount. Spirituality and politics clash; embracing a dog-eat-dog philosophy conflicts with spiritual growth. Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, religious groups unite to aid the needy, highlighting the potential for transcending religious divides. Imagine humanity’s progress if such unity persisted, setting aside religious conflicts.
Every individual possesses God-given abilities and a responsibility to think critically during their lifetime. Human progress arises from breaking traditional rules rather than conforming to them. Most trailblazers diverge from taught beliefs; many scientists, while non-religious, contribute significantly. Spiritual fulfillment hinges on inner feelings rather than comparative abilities.
The desire to feel superior often stems from deep-seated inferiority complexes, politically promoted by belonging groups. Claiming superiority based on religion or nationality fosters prejudice and discrimination, distorting spiritual ideals. As CEO of your life, recognize this strategy’s fallacy—belonging to any group, based on race, gender, or creed, doesn’t confer inherent superiority.
Religious leaders may promise divine help through rituals, but failure may lead to spiritual crisis due to misplaced loyalties. Trust deficits arise not from God but from politics of belonging. Pandemics don’t discriminate based on belief; logical reasoning underscores the scientific approach amidst crises.
Self-awareness entails understanding personal politics of belonging and loyalty triggers. Evaluate self-esteem rooted in inferiority complexes versus spiritual fulfillment. Embrace responsibility, reciprocity, free will, and personal justice; treating others as you wish to be treated remains paramount.
Desire for acceptance or admiration often drives behavior, tied to group approval—the politics of belonging. Recognizing these influences—beyond partisan politics—reveals broader societal impacts, from race and gender to community and nationality.
Understanding these influences alongside mortal impermanence offers clarity. Reflect: Is discrimination or prejudice worth perpetuating in your temporary mortal life? Shed learned biases—political, religious, or nationalistic—and confront insecurities driving discrimination.
“If religion teaches that God and Devil reign above, remember: you are the crucial third equation—nothing becomes physical without your hands, back, and shoulders. God represents good and the Devil, bad, once you’ve lent them your aid. Always recall the reasons behind your possession of free will and personal sense of justice.”
Today, scientific advancements link natural disasters to environmental causes, predict weather for life-saving measures, and reveal human impact on river flows and environmental changes. Not long ago, we attributed everything to God’s will; now, understanding causes and effects drives our progress. How deeply you delve into human potential is a personal choice, but denying scientific facts, especially when you can make a difference, contradicts the opportunities granted by God.
Acting under the influence of the politics of belonging—leading to prejudice and discrimination—demands shedding soul-weighing burdens to embrace equality for all humanity.
Carrying prejudice and discrimination exacts a steep toll on mortal souls; discontent and unhappiness can result from losing the status quo. It may even lead to spiritual transgressions, akin to the burdens borne by soldiers with PTSD.
Assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of your life—taking ownership of actions and decisions, refusing to hide behind God or Devil. Hypocrisy among politically astute individuals exists, but acknowledging truths burdens the soul, risking health in various forms.
Educational behaviors can inflict harm, yet God grants free will and personal sense of justice. Individuals choose actions; others may reciprocate with prejudice or discrimination. Where do you stand as a mortal? How much time remains in your life for discontentment and unhappiness? This serious inquiry demands introspection.
Accepting equal human rights is universal, but succumbing to the politics of belonging—be it race, gender, nationalism, or religious fanaticism—breeds racism, sexism, and bigotry. Only as an individual can you assume the role of CEO to discern what nurtures your soul and what poisons it.
Reflect critically on your past: stagnation suggests resistance to change. Life is about responding to evolving circumstances, discovering personality traits, inferiority complexes, and self-esteem issues. Dissatisfied with your responses? Act. Time is finite, and your boat will sink; strive for spiritual contentment.
Acknowledging dissatisfaction is crucial. Address it with action, challenging ingrained beliefs. Mortality demands acceptance; balance mortal living’s real goals, achieving happiness and contentment. Religion often preaches life for the afterlife, but physical actions define spiritual impact now.
God’s work thrives through human actions; physicality drives spiritual efficacy. Alive, we wield hands, backs, and shoulders—a miracle to continue God’s physical presence. Spirits lack physical influence; thus, God’s work benefits the living, not the dead.
My philosophy centers on basic triangles: humans, God, and Devil; passionate, instinctive, and universal love. Fundamental to mortal life, these principles dictate happiness and contentment. Balancing familial and universal love is vital; as CEO, transcend the role of worker bee, genetically and spiritually.
For mortal beings, understanding mortality is essential; we must grasp our reality. Our understanding of belonging groups has been tainted by the politics of belonging, which employs a carrot-and-stick philosophy. For human individuals, this approach is flawed because we are not merely animals; we are spiritual creatures with the ability to self-regulate.
Let’s examine it logically: if we live in fear of hell and in pursuit of heaven, who benefits? Is it the group or the individual? If the group benefits from individual sacrifice, it’s praised as honorable, but is it fair? If it’s from God, it cannot be unfair; thus, the carrot-and-stick philosophy is not aligned with God or spirituality. If you choose to associate unfairness with God, that’s your prerogative, but I believe in a fair God. This philosophy aims to civilize a savage beast, but we are spiritual beings first, not animals. Since we must manifest spirituality into physical actions, like other creatures, should humans be treated solely as physical beings? To me, it’s a balancing act; as we bring spiritual actions into physicality, our physical needs are met. Reciprocation is not a chore but a duty, given our control over our bodies and well-being, despite our lack of control over oxygen.
If God truly controlled us, no one could harm or kill another. Our duty, then, is to understand why we act as we do and why God allows free will and spiritual crimes. Reciprocating with God enhances self-esteem, making us a contributing force, so how can we degrade ourselves when we aid the Almighty?
Living beings that transform spiritual thoughts into physical actions have no need to fear God or hell, nor must they worry about reaching heaven after death. In spirituality, fear and greed have no place; they stem from individual insecurities. Organized religions exploit these insecurities, treating humans as animals, which disrespects both individuals and God, serving political agendas. If you feel manipulated by your belonging group, remember: as CEO, others have a place in your life but no say; you call the shots. Allowing others’ control means hiding behind God and Devil, evading responsibility, revealing spiritual deficiencies.
Many religions preach hope and trust, enriching mortal life, but succumb to politics of belonging, believing God favors them over others, promoting prejudice. Such politics strip spirituality from mortal lives, drawing us toward belonging groups. The death toll of religious and extreme wars underscores spiritual bankruptcy. Unfortunately, politics of belonging govern our religious beliefs, unless individuals become spiritually aware, transcending prejudice and embracing equal human rights.
Our political systems or parties may preach individual strength, responsibility, and skepticism of God. Conversely, religious leaders advocate subservience, weakness, vulnerability, insignificance, and sinfulness. In this conflicting message, what can an individual do?
The simple truth: become CEO of your life. Place everything in its rightful place; refuse to be brainwashed for others’ agendas. Live as a spiritually significant mortal, important to God as any other. Focus on reciprocating to God and self-well-being, eliminating fear and greed.
Consider the contradictions of our governing systems: they claim individual responsibility, leaving individuals hopeless, untrusting, and pessimistic about humanity. Policies designed for self-reliance paradoxically drive people to government aid in times of crisis.
Religions, conversely, teach that God and Devil control everything; belief and blind allegiance are enough. If a leaf moves only by God’s will, how can a person act independently? If everything stems from God, all problems logically come from God. Religious leaders’ counsel to pray, fast, and trust in God for blessings leaves believers questioning faith when efforts go unanswered. Worse, if one doesn’t receive after praying and fasting, leaders may blame the individual’s lack of faith or effort, robbing hope, trust, and spiritual well-being.
In this political tumult, where do you stand as an individual? If you distrust yourself, government, religious leaders, or even God, what is your self-worth? Seek spiritual self-importance; find genuine self-esteem, hope, trust, and optimism. Interestingly, you can overcome prejudicial and discriminatory thoughts as well.
