Who Flipped My Triangle?

Before I get into it, Season’s Greetings to everyone. May God bless you all with the gifts of health, happiness, and success in every aspect of life. Stay blessed and be able to count your blessings so you never have a bad day.

When it comes to addressing our problems, we need to turn to our spirituality. By being spiritually aware, we can understand not only our individual issues but also our collective challenges. Our group-oriented politics of belonging have led us to a crossroads where, while we have learned to invent nuclear and biological weapons, we have not spiritually evolved enough to understand our emotions and achieve stability. We have learned to politically sweep issues under the rug but have not overcome or understood the pain of love and loss. Spiritually, we have not learned the principle of treating others as we would like to be treated. These spiritual gaps have reached a boiling point where we are becoming a threat to ourselves. Bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination start at the individual level and are usually taught at home or by the community. It’s not something inherited from before birth. I believe that if you have learned it, you can unlearn it or counter it with new and logical explanations of equal human rights. This means that each of us needs to gain enough knowledge and strength to question the authenticity of the information we’ve been taught, as it can be tainted by the politics of belonging. If you become the CEO of your own life, you can fix it by becoming aware. If you individually change, you will not follow outdated practices, and if you don’t lend your physicality to belonging groups, nations, and religions will have to follow and change accordingly. Otherwise, these issues will remain with us as they have since the beginning of our political awareness.

Always remember, humanity has struggled to fix its problems for thousands of years because we have been taught to believe in our own irrelevance. Group politics has been founded on a top-down philosophy designed to keep individuals weak and vulnerable, leading them to seek personal security within their groups. However, these groups can only offer prayers—they cannot provide oxygen, prevent aging, or stop death. This ignorance and sense of irrelevance have not worked, are not working, and will not work unless we change everything and adopt a bottom-up strategy. While there was a time when we needed each other for security, today we have a wealth of knowledge at our disposal. By shifting our approach from top-down to bottom-up, things might be chaotic at first, but history shows that individual strength and wisdom are necessary for societal growth and evolution. Our next step on the ladder of evolution calls for us all to come together and rise, or humanity’s future may look bleak. If we remain stuck in politically infected education and justice systems that keep individuals insignificant and vulnerable, humanity will not advance quickly. It may even regress and self-destruct due to a lack of emotional education. Moreover, with the level of modern-day weaponry, things could deteriorate quickly. In today’s world, we cannot afford to be bigoted, prejudiced, or discriminatory because humanity is increasingly seeking equal individual rights.

I have been deeply reflecting on this spiritual issue, buried beneath our political mess. The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes. I believe most human beings are inherently good-natured and evolved. Our divisions are based on group politics of belonging, which has infected us both individually and collectively. To me, humanity suffers from an infectious disease of belonging to groups.

Unfortunately, even our religions have failed to govern us effectively. Despite their claims to be spiritual systems, they have not been able to unite humanity as a single entity. Humanity, spirituality, justice, and God are universal and just concepts. Equal human rights would fit perfectly within this framework, but religions have not always accepted everyone as equal. Regardless of political power or opportunity, they have not created a spiritual system that is inclusive of all humanity. Many religions claim that their followers are better than those who do not adhere to their traditions, customs, rituals, and rules. Despite having ample time in power, religions have failed to establish peace because they became infected with the same issues as political groups—control and power. Even when operating in the name of God, achieving global dominance requires solid explanations to persuade everyone. Pure, politics-free spirituality was needed, but no human group has remained free of political influence. Personally, I draw the line here: spirituality and human politics simply cannot be mixed, just as our justice system and politics of belonging cannot be reconciled. When mixed, justice ceases to be just, and religion becomes impotent without its spiritual essence.

Even in this day and age, our religions continue to serve as our spiritual systems, but unfortunately, they often remain entangled in politics and power struggles. Religions create or align with political parties to exploit vulnerable individuals and use them as political puppets. Regardless of the fact that equal human rights are the most spiritual thing one can possess, religions still struggle to overcome their desires for political power, even if it makes them bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory. To me, connecting God to politics is a spiritual sin because, to me, God embodies truth. Politics, however, is about twisting truths and lies to serve the agendas of specific groups. Just like other political systems, religions seek to control everything under their umbrella. Fortunately, most of us today have realized that we cannot build a foundation of justice on something nonphysical. Despite thousands of years of religious beliefs, most religions have failed to bridge the gap between metaphorical and physical reality. Today, with a focus on equal human rights, we cannot ignore the facts of physical reality. Our justice systems, although influenced by politics and using the Quran and Bible for oaths, aim to reach the truth. We can no longer justify human sacrifice or killing in the name of God because humanity has evolved.

Unfortunately, people still do not question why religious wars have been and continue to be the bloodiest and longest-lasting. Personally, I believe that religions have the ability to touch us emotionally to the extent that we willingly relinquish our God-given autonomy and behave like political puppets. This is similar to how music can emotionally move us to dance. The question of why this happens is a personal one for each of us to ponder. We are the ones who hold the power to make things happen physically. If we can understand this, we can evolve to the next level and become the CEOs of our lives, rather than acting like bees or ants. It is our duty to override our genetic physical urges and take charge of all our actions. Before acting for our political groups, we must consult our autonomy to scrutinize and possibly override those actions, especially if they conflict with spiritual principles.

If we are responsible for making things happen physically, then why do we have nearly two hundred nations with constantly struggling groups seeking independence? Our group politics lead us to a place where we are determined to further divide humanity, ironically in the name of peace. To me, this is a physical joke played metaphorically by nearly two hundred nations and two thousand two hundred religions, aimed at destroying humanity rather than uniting it. Instead of bringing us together, we fight against the concept of equal human rights.

According to my personal understanding of life, which starts at the cellular level, we are made of trillions of cells with ten times as many foreign bacteria or life forms. Each cell and its encased bacteria are essential for physical life. This relationship is reciprocal: the physical shell and the encased life form need each other to function. This is why I compare them to positive and negative wires. The relationship between them is fundamental. You may have various opinions or interpretations, but you will always arrive at this basic truth.

God or not, this light bulb of physicality does not illuminate with just one wire. Whether at the microscopic level, macro level, or as sophisticated as human beings, life cannot function without both wires. Physically or spiritually, they both lose their significance without each other. Space agencies have shown videos of dead planets, so one can imagine a world without humanity. The question is, how would a good God be physically meaningful, and for whom? Believing that one wire does everything is a politically designed notion, meant to rob individuals of their relevance. On the other hand, if you assert that humans are responsible for everything, you must prove that a human can breathe, function, and live without external help.

We have thousands of religious beliefs claiming that their God is the only one who should run the show. It is common in religious settings to believe that God does everything, which I also believe, but the main question is how? One must explain how a spiritual entity becomes physical to perform physical tasks. This is where human beings play the role of the other wire, meaning no one should be able to deny their importance and relevance. Reducing people to mindless minions has nothing to do with God and spirituality but everything to do with group politics. As I mentioned, removing all human beings is like unplugging the physicality wire—the light simply goes out, regardless of the existence of God. The question is whether we should reinstate and respect the individual as nature intended or continue to believe in their irrelevance as political and religious groups have preached and practiced. It’s about lighting up the world; removing the physicality of the individual leads us into metaphorical darkness. In a nutshell, God cannot exist without humanity, and humanity cannot exist without God. The metaphorical reality cannot exist without the physical reality, and vice versa. If you choose to follow your religion, do so while acknowledging your real and spiritual status. You should be respected as a crucial part of the holy picture. Attempting to separate these wires for political reasons and making the individual irrelevant only removes a spiritual truth from your beliefs, making them political systems.

Indeed, modern societies need political systems to function smoothly, but politics should be confined to governing systems. Mixing politics with our spiritual or justice systems leads to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. Spirituality and true justice are compromised whenever politics are involved. A society founded on unbiased justice and solid spiritual principles will always prosper, attracting people who seek permanence. Otherwise, in today’s world, people can leave and join others without hesitation. Remember, politics has room for lies and is known for twisting truths. My question to ordinary individuals is: why accept political taint in your spiritual and justice systems? If you follow the taint, why not clean it up? At the very least, you can address this at your individual level and become the CEO of your life. I believe an individual with spiritual truth and inner peace can create a more peaceful environment than those influenced by political factors, whether from race, gender, nation, or religion. If you believe that God will stand by you while you exhibit bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, you are essentially claiming that God is just like you. To me, this means God is political, not spiritual—a spiritual sin. If a religion or any other system makes sense to you, embrace it but keep it within spiritual principles. Otherwise, you are under the influence of political belonging, which may lead to conflicts with your own autonomy. Remember, this is not a favorable place for a mortal being, as it robs you of your inner peace. Being spiritually bankrupt keeps you in a state of darkness caused by living with only one wire.

Personally, I believe that, so far, equal human individual rights are the closest system we have to spirituality and the best governing system humanity has devised. We are currently in a transitional phase, which brings some glitches, but as humanity evolves and adapts to present-day circumstances, we will eventually come around. When human individuals are treated equally, they are more likely to grant and receive equal rights from one another. This would diminish the power of groups from within. In my view, equal rights will always challenge conservatives who prefer to govern with their traditional prejudicial and discriminatory methods. If equal human rights become widely accepted, we might finally find the elusive peace humanity has sought for thousands of years. It may be wishful thinking on my part, and perhaps not within my lifetime, but one day we may evolve to the point where our wars and political affiliations shift, and our group politics become a relic of the past. This is evident from the ongoing global response to conflicts like the Israel-Palestine issue.

I firmly believe that understanding our true identity as human beings is essential in addressing global warming, infectious diseases, and cybercrimes. All of these issues point to the need for a collective human identity. Resistance to equal human rights, without exception, stems from the politics of group affiliation. Embracing humanity as a whole should transform everything we do. Belief in a universal God, universal spirituality, and universal human rights should underpin our justice system. We cannot have a separate justice system for each group, as this creates a political rather than universal system of justice. Equal human individual rights introduce a new dimension to everything we have done or are doing. Spirituality is universal, and so should our justice system be. Logically, regardless of where you are born or live, if you pass the genetic test of being human, you should be counted as one. Of course, this imposes significant responsibilities on individuals, but collectively we should embrace this as well. The game of reciprocation requires the awareness of all involved. Honestly, giving and receiving equal human rights is the way forward—not only to climb the evolutionary ladder but also to achieve internal, external, communal, and global peace.

Consider this: whether life exists at the micro level, macro level, or as complex as a human being, its foundation is based on the basic reciprocation of positive and negative forces. Regardless of whether you approach this religiously or scientifically, you may end up confused because our knowledge is incomplete. Remember, continuous learning signifies evolution; as human beings, we are still evolving. We cannot claim to know everything, whether through religion, science, or otherwise. If we believe we know everything, we are merely making assumptions, which can be dangerous if not carefully considered. Fighting over assumptions has been a spiritual downfall for humanity. It is absurd and ignorant to fight and kill over things we don’t fully understand. If we cannot fully comprehend everything scientifically, we should at least refrain from killing each other over religious beliefs. The more we delve into God, the more elusive God becomes, leading to blind extremism. This, to me, is becoming a political puppet for a group and losing the essence of being human.

Until science can fully explain human emotions and qualities such as compassion, bravery, sacrifice, generosity, love, and God, we must acknowledge that our knowledge is incomplete and evolving. Assuming otherwise is misguided. Whether through religion or reliance on technology, assuming that we know everything is politically influenced and prevents further evolution. By assuming the role of a CEO of our lives, we can look beyond or remove our sense of belonging to see more clearly.

Recognizing that our real problems often stem from individual weaknesses and insecurities is crucial. Groups can politically influence individuals to perform their dirty work, but if an individual feels irrelevant, they will likely dance to their group’s political tune. This weakness indicates a failure to recognize that we are blessed with our own personal autonomy. This autonomy makes us the CEOs of our own lives. While we may not fully understand human individuality, it doesn’t mean we are irrelevant. Even if we feel like puppets of our groups, we have the responsibility to use our autonomy and sense of justice. This personal responsibility makes us potential CEOs of our own lives, and we must be aware of our relevance and actions.

Our justice systems are based on the notion that individuals are responsible for their actions. Yet, politically, we hide behind groups, using them as shields while performing their dirty deeds. We justify our actions as part of the cost of group affiliation, but we face punishment both from justice systems and from within ourselves. This perspective requires us to not only keep our triangles balanced but also to ensure they are correctly oriented.

This blog addresses these politically manipulated triangles. Understanding “Who flipped my triangle?” is a message of responsibility that not everyone will appreciate, but it must be communicated as it is.

As Marcus Aurelius said, “It’s the truth I am after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.”

I am neither a politician seeking office nor a religious preacher advocating for a particular faith. I am a free thinker with no religious boundaries or loyalties to any specific group. I support equal human rights, universal spirituality, and one God. I believe in maintaining our triangles correctly oriented and balanced.

Let’s briefly examine the triangles I frequently discuss. One such triangle consists of passionate love, instinctive love, and universal love. For instance, if you are not a strong individual, you may choose one type of love over another and become torn apart internally. You can’t prioritize your mother over your wife, or your boyfriend or girlfriend over your children, or vice versa. You simply can’t choose others over your kids, mother, or spouse. So, who will balance this for you? If you follow societal expectations, regardless of the era you were born into, you will still face internal conflict. Therefore, you need to assert control and become the CEO of your life. Your health, happiness, and success should be aligned accordingly.

The same principle applies to the relationship between God, the Devil, and yourself as the CEO of your life. If you place yourself in a subordinate position, you are not taking charge, which leads to the belief that everything happens without your input. This belief undermines your self-respect and self-esteem, making you a political puppet. In this scenario, your group dictates your actions, even if they are unjust, leading you to do things to others that you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones. This means you are politically savvy but spiritually bankrupt in the name of group affiliation.

For example, if you resemble me, you are my friend; if you resemble them, you are my enemy. Doesn’t this echo humanity’s historical patterns? Let’s go further: if you attend a mosque, church, temple, or synagogue, you are labeled as one of us, regardless of whether you are a racist or bigot, regardless of your personal free will and sense of justice. So, who is responsible for wars and related killings? Is it the politics of belonging, or those who physically carry out these actions? Remember, if you hold onto your personal atom of autonomy and exercise your free will in your daily life, what justifies blaming your group or even God for your actions?

Our real problems arise from feelings of irrelevance and a reliance on teachings from our groups rather than a direct belief in God. Everything taught by our exclusive groups is based on their political agendas. If individual insecurities and feelings of irrelevance are our major issues, then addressing these at the individual level is the solution. Strengthening ourselves as individuals, embracing humanity as a whole, and upholding equal human rights can address both social and international turmoil. One God, one spiritual system, and one unified humanity could serve as a universal antidote to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. Political solutions from groups have never proven to be effective for humanity as a whole. Therefore, if equal human rights are not politically tainted, they might be our best chance for a reasonable governing system where most individuals can agree, as deep down, we are all decent people. As individuals, we should take charge of our races, nations, and religions by adopting this modern-day trend. Humanity can be peaceful without political interference. Remember, groups cannot function without your personal physical contributions, and even God requires your physicality to translate spirituality into action. If you become the CEO of your life, you will recognize your self-worth.

Human groups have altered the individual experience, and even the supposed spiritual leaders have not escaped the corrupting influence of political affiliations. We are committing a spiritual crime by denying the relevance of individuals who make spiritual actions physically meaningful, both to humanity and to God. I recall a quote from Allama Iqbal, a revolutionary poet from the East who inspired the idea of Pakistan. Although I agree and disagree with him on various points, one of my themes aligns with his call for each of us to be the CEO of our lives. I wholeheartedly agree with him on this. He said:

“KHUDI KO KAR BULAND ITNA KAY HER TAKDEER SAY PEHLY KHUDA BANDAY SAY KHUD PUCHAY BTA TARY RAZA KIYA HAY.”

“Raise your self-respect and self-esteem so high that God Himself will come down and ask you about your wishes before writing your fate.” — Allama Iqbal

Since both God and human beings depend on each other to translate spirituality into physical actions, they play crucial roles in sustaining humanity. Yet, many ignore the importance of the real, living world where God and humans can actually make things happen. Their focus on the afterlife devalues the importance of living years, leading to the killing or robbing of life without consequence. They indoctrinate young people to prioritize the afterlife over their current lives. However, God’s real work is done by human beings during their lifetime, so how can we be insignificant in this life? What can we do as spirits or souls without our physical bodies for God? To me, the real time for doing good or reciprocating with God is in our living, physical years. After death, everything becomes metaphorical. No one should sacrifice their physical reality or that of others for a metaphorical one. For instance, you cannot go to a court of law and claim that God or someone who died long ago instructed you to kill. This argument would not hold up. Remember, a physical reality is a physical reality, and a metaphorical one is merely a metaphor. Regardless of what you have been taught or believe, crossing that line is unacceptable because you would not want it done to you or your loved ones.

As humanity, we have tried all kinds of governing systems, yet we are still struggling with out-of-control politics of belonging. As individuals who love their race, gender, nation, or religion, we often find it challenging to think for ourselves. Remember, as human beings, we all possess free will and a personal sense of justice. Therefore, our affiliations can be quite confusing. We are often swayed by the fiery speeches of our leaders—be they Mullahs, Priests, or political figures—making it difficult to find the right path. Essentially, we are metaphorically banging our heads against the walls of group identity.

It is time for us to take charge and question our group affiliations. We need to become individuals who belong to humanity as a whole. We must recognize that even our highest human organization, the United Nations, has limited power due to political influences. The veto system allows more powerful nations to impose their will, making justice appear corrupt. Similarly, if our belief systems are influenced by group politics, spirituality often takes a backseat. Unless we apply equal human rights, our spiritual beliefs will remain politically tainted. Group politics have always kept humanity from realizing its potential and understanding the true nature of our collective existence.

Since the dawn of our awareness, our connections with groups have been intertwined with political interests. If one group attempts to rule the world by force, it has never succeeded, nor will it ever succeed. Regardless of race, gender, nation, or religion, history shows that imposing control through these lenses has failed to bring lasting peace. Equal human rights might offer a better chance. If everything else has failed to achieve peace over thousands of years, why are we still stuck in the same mindset? Are we not evolving beings? After all, we have advanced enough to reach space and develop nuclear weapons.

Our imbalanced evolution is evident. Emotionally, we are still trapped in primitive times. It is difficult to quantify the number of political killings throughout history, but it is clear that billions of innocents have died in the name of various political umbrellas. Humanity has been trying to solve its problems, but group affiliations have always been an obstacle. Therefore, shouldn’t we give equal human rights a chance? They are widely accepted as a common-sense solution, especially when it comes to universal concepts like God, spirituality, and humanity as a whole. Issues like global warming, nuclear threats, infectious diseases, and cybercrimes are all forcing humanity to work collectively to find solutions.

Our group politics have proven impotent in addressing modern problems. Politicians, driven by passion and insecurity, often deny global warming, despite the visible evidence. We cannot continue to build walls around our nations or groups and expect security. Ignoring problems and attributing them solely to divine will is outdated. Today, we analyze issues scientifically and apply human knowledge to solve them. The emergence of equal human rights is a result of this awareness. Outdated practices like human sacrifice to please God are relics of failed group politics. Although such practices were common among disconnected societies in the past, the rise of equal human rights shows humanity’s evolution.

If we continue to rely on outdated group politics, we will remain mired in conflict and fail to achieve peace. Whether through race, nation, or religion, groups continue to claim superiority and the right to rule. Yet, spiritually, we are all one. One God, one spirituality-based justice, and one humanity should guide us. Equal human rights, as a modern concept, offer the best hope for progress. They align closely with spiritual values and challenge politically biased nationalism and religions.

Despite the progress, many remain loyal to their group identities, influenced by early childhood indoctrination, teenage rebellion, or adult loyalties. Ideas like equal human rights are popular and show promise, but resistance from those who fear losing power remains strong. The veto system and the undermining of international bodies like the United Nations are signs of this resistance. While technology advances rapidly, our group politics hinder progress toward a unified humanity.

In the next twenty years, or even the next two thousand, our challenge will be overcoming the politics of belonging. Equal human rights are a relatively new concept, and our individual awareness is key to outgrowing group politics. Ideally, equal human rights promote individual importance and unity. Unless we learn to transcend group politics and embrace humanity as a whole, progress will be slow. The ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, for instance, might have been avoided if equal treatment had been the norm seventy-five years ago.

As human beings, we all grow up in politically biased environments, and these biases cannot be overcome at the same speed by everyone. Human growth comes with education, and if that education is politically biased, changing things becomes much more challenging. Our history is full of politically divided ideas, including those about God. Consequently, humanity will have to grow gradually. Individuals can learn to adapt and evolve relatively easily, as seen in our diverse societies. Our ability to evolve with knowledge and manage our natural and politically influenced urges has always existed, but it has been consistently shaped by politics.

Fundamentally, equal human individual rights do not function within groups. We must understand that if we seek rights as groups, we often end up back at square one due to the politics that prevent us from reaching common ground. Remember, I always say that spirituality and politics do not mix. So, when advocating for group, race, gender, nation, or religious rights, you should consider yourself a political entity. This is because your interests are not global or universal but specific to a group of people. This often leads to conflicts and the trampling of others’ group rights. Group disputes are not only inevitable but are also unlikely to disappear. Humanity has been fighting and killing each other since the dawn of awareness. Political belonging to groups eventually leads to a situation where a group also robs its own members by not granting them the same rights, meaning that an individual for a group does not make an individual in the group. Until all groups clearly adopt this principle, the politics of group belonging will continue to dominate humanity, keeping us mired in disputes and wars, as we have always been.

The essence of equal human rights is to treat all individuals as individuals, rather than as part of a group. Just like in our court system, where we have “so-and-so vs. the people,” the focus is on people as individuals. This means that a person is given the opportunity to contest and even prevail against the collective. Therefore, all groups, including those based on race, gender, nation, or religion, should be seen as individuals in the eyes of the law. Failing to follow this principle or allowing justice to be politicized undermines its purpose. As humanity, we struggle with this because of our attachment to group identities. Our governing systems have always had their own justice systems. However, today’s era demands that we look beyond group politics because our problems have evolved and are not the same as they were a hundred years ago. Most groups resist equal human individual rights because politically they seek group rights. In such cases, other groups will resist having their rights violated, perpetuating the same old politics of belonging. Especially when one group is willing to offer rights but demands equal rights in return, they may go to war to defend those rights. This is why wars continue, and they are becoming increasingly dangerous because individuals still lack a voice. A group should logically listen to and care for individual rights, but humanity remains under the rule of group politics, just as it always has. Until we believe in and act as better human beings, we will remain divided by our group identities and unable to progress to the next level of evolution.

With equal human rights, humanity stands at a crossroads between individual strength and weakness. Our political affiliations have historically called for individual weakness and group strength. Equal human rights thus represent not only an external issue but also a direct clash between our spiritual autonomy and our politically and hormonally influenced sides. This transformation exposes us to the convulsions of humanity’s evolution, allowing us to critically examine our group identities. This ability can help us overcome political brainwashing as well as personal biases, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination.

If you think you are strong because you belong to a powerful nation or religion, you are mistaken about true strength. By your nature and by divine design, you hold your own atom of autonomy. True strength comes from your spiritual side. You have been endowed with personal autonomy for a reason; you must utilize the gifts you brought with you before birth. With your vast capacity for knowledge, you have the responsibility to absorb, critically analyze, and wisely apply what you learn. Rather than remaining trapped in the flow of information like a worker bee or warrior ant, you should question it all. This is one of the abilities you were born with. Essentially, you are born with a personal sense of justice and free will. If you do not use these abilities, it is your personal weakness, not a strength. Following the status quo within your group is not fitting for human beings, as we are not genetically programmed to conform. This places significant responsibility on our shoulders. Before acting on or supporting our group’s political desires, we need to become compassionate, loving, and just individuals.

If you follow group politics, you are surrendering your divine gifts in the name of political belonging. Without divine gifts such as love, compassion, bravery, generosity, and a personal sense of justice, you are merely another creature. Your personal spirituality-based autonomy will eventually consume you from within. You might argue that political and hormonal influences are also part of your nature and divine will, leading you to seek acceptance and admiration from your group. However, you must recognize that you were born with your own atom of autonomy, and you must grapple with this inherent force throughout your life, especially as a mortal facing constant internal conflicts. This is not a good argument for you individually, so you must take charge of your life as its CEO.

Even if you act for your group and they absolve you of your spiritual sins, you cannot escape the internal conflicts within you. Each of us is created as an individual, distinct from other creatures. We must learn to override not only our animal instincts but also our political influences. Ignoring our internal realities is not an option. As our awareness of equal human rights increases, so does the panic among our groups. They are experiencing political turmoil and trying to keep individuals insecure so they remain attached to their groups. Power-hungry leaders are promoting racism, nationalism, religious extremism, and related conflicts to keep us divided. The genie is out of the bottle, and the concept of equal human rights is spreading globally. Thanks to the internet, this knowledge is escaping political control. If you cannot see or understand the politics, you have been brainwashed into becoming a political puppet.

As I said, your individual strength has nothing to do with the politics of race, gender, color, nation, or religion, as these all fall under group politics. As a human with an ingrained spiritual side, you must understand that you are alone with yourself in the quiet moments of your life. Live guilt-free and peacefully. Your atom of autonomy is meant to connect you directly with the divine source. If you make choices to harm others or to act against what you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones, you are not fulfilling your divine purpose. You are not only brainwashed into feeling weak but also into believing in your irrelevance. In today’s era, we cannot remain silent about the injustices committed by other groups or even our own. The ability to speak out comes from within and defines your strength as an individual. Engaging in violence or conflict in the name of a political group or belief system is not a measure of true strength. Real strength lies in standing up for spiritual justice, regardless of what is popular. Overriding our animal instincts and having inhibitions are not the only duties of human beings. We must speak out against injustice, whether it is perpetrated by others or by our own groups. Failing to question our group identities is the real weakness of human individuals, as we are endowed with a direct connection to the divine through our atom of autonomy and related free will or personal sense of justice.

Recently, we have seen Russians fleeing their country to avoid military conscription, marking a significant shift in historical trends. In today’s era of equal human rights, it’s increasingly untenable for any group, race, gender, nation, or religion to compel individuals to participate in wars for political gain. The risk of losing authority has become too great. As a result, a new dimension of warfare has emerged: the propaganda war front, which has gained as much significance as the physical battles themselves. Nations and religions continue to inspire their members to fight, but convincing people to kill or be killed has become increasingly difficult. This shift is largely due to higher levels of education and the widespread availability of the internet. Although racists, religious extremists, and nationalists still exist, their numbers are dwindling, making it harder for them to mobilize. The desire for equal human rights signals a weakening of nationalism. For example, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has sparked global protests. This raises important questions about the direction humanity is heading. Are we moving towards unity and self-preservation, or are we on a path to self-destruction with modern weaponry, as predicted in many religious texts?

The real and sustainable solutions to our longstanding social issues, such as bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, lie in the universal application of equal human rights. Our evolution as individuals requires us to shed outdated, animalistic instincts and embrace the responsibilities of the modern world. This means overcoming political and religious biases, which is no small feat but necessary, given that we no longer fight with ancient weaponry.

We’ve already made progress. Not too long ago, racism, prejudice, and discrimination were sources of pride. Today, the concept of equal human rights is prevalent worldwide. If you believe that you are superior simply because of your group affiliation, you are likely falling into bigotry and discrimination. Group actions begin and end with individuals, who physically make things happen. Thus, individuals must be responsible for their actions. God has endowed us with free will and a personal sense of justice, so understanding oneself is crucial before engaging in any actions on behalf of a group. We must all strive to transform ourselves into the individuals God intended us to be, essentially becoming the CEO of our own lives.

Micro Tears for the Muscles and Human Spirit

In intense workouts, we create micro tears in our muscles, which then heal and grow stronger. Similarly, our personal growth involves pushing boundaries and exploring uncomfortable territories. Reflecting critically on our evolutionary nature can help us understand why life is full of challenges. As an example, I recall a sermon by Moulana Ajmal, a well-known Muslim preacher from my youth. He used the analogy of a paper and a pin to illustrate the concept of gradual learning. If you poke holes in the paper before pushing your finger through, it’s easier to penetrate. This method of incremental understanding is similar to how we should approach knowledge. Critical thinking involves breaking down concepts in our minds, much like the way I design workouts for my clients based on this philosophy.

As humans, we are more than physical beings; we are spiritually designed to evolve as well. Our capacity to learn and adapt throughout life reflects this spiritual evolution. Despite our age, we can continuously form new neurons and expand our knowledge. This suggests that our potential is always in an evolutionary process, and imposing limits only hinders our growth. Often, these limits are tied to personal insecurities and group affiliations. We are encouraged to follow religious leaders’ doctrines, but I believe we must create micro tears beyond our physical selves to strengthen our spirit.

By doing so, we not only build stronger bodies but also develop a more resilient spirit. This approach aligns with the idea that our personal evolution involves both physical and spiritual growth.

If you lack the courage to face uncertainty or deal with related fears, your life will be significantly constrained, regardless of your grand aspirations. Avoiding confrontations with your fears can lead to lower self-esteem and prevent you from addressing the root causes of those fears. Achieving a fulfilling life involves understanding yourself as a whole and mastering your fear factors. The notion of a “normal” life can be highly subjective, given the diversity of nations, religions, and sects. For some, living with fear may feel healthy, while others may find it stifling.

I believe that extremes are unhelpful because we are inherently evolving beings, and we must allow room for growth. The ignorance of a child, characterized by an absence of fear, signifies our natural inclination towards fearless evolution. However, societal and political indoctrination often instills fear based on group affiliations. Both extreme fear-based education and extreme denial are detrimental. Thus, seeking balance rather than remaining oblivious is crucial. Just as a toddler evolves into an adult, our responsibilities as adults require us to grow beyond our primal instincts.

In essence, failing to create micro tears, or small, manageable challenges, will hinder your evolution. While God may have provided us with life and sustaining conditions, it is our responsibility to adhere to these divine orders physically while finding spiritual satisfaction. If your actions are driven by a desire to fit in, impress others, or gain admiration, you are acting out of political motives, not spiritual ones. True spirituality does not involve conforming to external expectations; rather, it requires internal balance.

Addressing personal issues involves understanding both your spiritual and physical dimensions. Low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression often stem from neglecting this holistic approach. By becoming the “CEO” of your life and balancing your group affiliations with personal responsibility, you can foster growth. Personal development encompasses more than physical fitness; it also involves spiritual growth. Embracing the concept of micro tears for both physical and spiritual development is essential. If you view your life as imperfect, you are missing the point. Growth requires understanding the nuances of personal development across all areas of life.

Consider the rapid advancements in technology and other fields. If you were born in today’s world, keeping up with these changes can be daunting, as human knowledge evolves quickly. Consequently, we must integrate both physical and spiritual growth to remain relevant and effective.

The integration of physicality and spirituality is crucial for meaningful progress. Our bodies serve as the vehicles for our spiritual journey, and respecting their aging process is vital. The saying from Pakistan, “If the trunk of the tree is green, you can bend it, but after that, forget it,” underscores the importance of harnessing our instincts early in life. Failing to manage these desires can lead to greater difficulties in adulthood. Additionally, indulging in habits like excessive drinking can undermine your spiritual growth and contribute to internal conflicts and weight issues.

Transformative change begins with inner peace and spiritual strength. Achieving health and contentment in all areas of life requires understanding and reconciling with your animal instincts. Instead of trying to suppress these instincts, learn to coexist with them to attain inner peace. Your animal side holds valuable wisdom about mortality. Lifelong inner conflicts can cause physical ailments and shorten your life. Seeking simple solutions to complex problems often leads to repeated failures. A mindset focused on personal growth rather than external validation will lead to greater success and well-being.

For instance, if you envy someone with a new car while undervaluing your own, you overlook the fact that your car is still serving its purpose. Similarly, dissatisfaction with your body or life’s circumstances can detract from your happiness and contentment. Our physical presence and capabilities are integral to making our lives meaningful.

The value of truth, health, and spirituality often emerges from the contrast with their opposites. Appreciating our physicality requires recognizing its importance in our journey. If we fail to respect and understand our bodies, we risk neglecting the essential balance needed for a fulfilling life. Our free will and physical efforts shape our reality, while political and ideological extremes can distort our perception.

Ultimately, your free will and actions define your journey. Whether you choose to put effort into personal growth or question conventional beliefs, your decisions shape your life. Remember, God helps those who help themselves. Your commitment to personal and spiritual growth will lead to true transformation and fulfillment.

If you feel that you are not successful, don’t you want to ask yourself why? Especially if you have been told to take the easy way out and pray for everything you want in life. Personally, I believe that if an individual doesn’t take charge of their own life, someone else will take charge of them. Those in control will dictate and run the show politically, using everyone regardless of their God-given free will, personal sense of justice, and other human abilities. Ask yourself honestly: do you really think and believe that you are a helpless human being? Be truthful with yourself to determine if you are making genuine efforts to be a modern-day individual.

Another question to consider is whether your desires are greater than your efforts. Do you wish for much but put in little effort? If there’s an imbalance, fix it, because no one else will fix it for you. In fact, you might be used as a political pawn by your religious leaders as well.

If you want bigger muscles, go to the gym. If you prefer going to a mosque or church, do so for the love of God, and in your everyday life, learn to reciprocate for the gifts you have received. If you believe there is no God, that’s fine too, but you still have the responsibility to reciprocate for the gifts you’ve been given. You didn’t just appear with a functioning body and all the life-supporting circumstances; these are not within your control. Life itself, oxygen, and your functioning body—all of these are beyond your control. With aging and our mortal nature, we are reminded to be humble and appreciative of all the favorable life circumstances. If you don’t have control over these aspects, what makes you think you can deny the existence of anything?

Interestingly, you do have the power to choose. If smoking is bad for your health, then stop smoking. You can pray to God for good health, but not doing your part means you have placed God on the highest pedestal while making yourself irrelevant. Remember, God works with you, not for you, because as human beings, we are the other wire that lights up the bulb of knowledge and makes things happen physically. Where humanity stands today is not solely due to people or God, but due to both. You don’t have control over even your next breath, so this light bulb only illuminates when both negative and positive wires are involved. You can’t attribute everything to God alone, nor can you claim that humans or groups are responsible for everything. Things are happening and being physically performed. If you believe God is doing everything, consider whether God needs human physicality or not. If not, try this experiment: swing one hand in the air without using the other to make a clapping sound. If it stays quiet, you will understand my point. It’s like dipping a stick in political garbage, covering it with sugar to make it a lollipop—while it may appear sweet, it’s still not spiritual until it’s free of group biases. People addicted to sugar won’t care what’s hidden beneath it; thus, not questioning is compliance with the status quo.

If you believe humans are doing everything, sure, you go to the gym, but logically, if you can’t breathe on your own, you can’t get anything done. Therefore, you need to stop smoking or doing anything harmful to your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, while also going to the gym as a choice and duty. If you don’t, it’s because you have been taught to believe in your irrelevance and to remain stuck in the belief that you can’t do anything physical on your own. This means you believe God is doing everything, so you don’t have to do anything except listen to religious leaders and attend services. You are a crucial wire to light up the bulb that makes things physically happen. This raises a real question: why do religious and political leaders want you to view yourself as irrelevant? What reasons contribute to your low self-esteem? To the point where you don’t even question what you are told and simply accept everything. Remember, you have been created above the worker bees and warrior ants because you have been blessed with free will and a personal sense of justice from God. So, understand the politics that keep you believing in your irrelevance.

Always remember, if the spiritual light does not work without your physical input, you cannot deny your duty to understand your real self-worth, importance, and relevance.

You must leave behind politically instilled extremes and strive for moderation in all areas of your knowledge. While you may have been taught that your religious knowledge is complete with existing texts, today’s societies demand equal human rights. Believing that you are somehow better and closer to God than those outside your group is not only bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination but also outdated. If you wish to be passionate, direct your passion toward common sense and the vast ocean of knowledge rather than remaining confined to limited ponds, streams, and rivers. This mindset has allowed me personally to form my own opinions and adapt things to fit my way of living. Many people attest to the benefits they’ve received from following my methods, but I won’t fill this book with individual testimonials. My work and paying my bills from a personal training business for the past twenty-six years is my testimony. If I mention someone without naming them, it’s only to explain an issue and its solution. New ideas often face opposition from established truths. If the evolving nature of knowledge is not defended, things can be livable, and people may agree to disagree.

When people become passionately defensive of the status quo and resist newly discovered opinions, logic prevails, but that’s not always the case, especially in business and politics. I believe that regardless of how long a status quo has been established or how many people accept it as truth, if people can logically connect to their knowledge, it should be respected and explored. Common sense and logical thought should take precedence. Human knowledge should benefit humanity; if it causes more harm than good, changes are needed. If fear of being proven wrong or losing authority prevents this, fairness is compromised, and we are overtaken by the politics of our affiliations. History shows that people have been killed for speaking truths that were only recognized hundreds of years later. The burning of witches, killing of homosexuals, and harming of innocents in the name of nations or religious beliefs all stem from the same ignorance. To solve modern-day problems, we must believe in individual relevance, equal human rights, and our shared humanity. Otherwise, we will remain stuck in the same limbo humanity has faced for thousands of years.

Since my questioning nature has always led me to uncover the root problems we face, I believe that our progress as humanity is not solely due to prayers, but rather our tendency to explore and question. Look around, and you’ll find that it’s primarily religious beliefs that discourage questioning, exploration, or logical explanation. These beliefs often demand blind faith. While this might benefit some individuals, today’s world is far more complex. With our advanced weaponry, we cannot afford unchecked emotional responses. Mixing physical and metaphorical realities can unintentionally lead to catastrophic outcomes for everyone, including God. You might argue it would be God’s will, but that’s a significant “maybe.” Personally, I can’t rely entirely on that metaphorical basket, so I must speak my truth that resonates spiritually with me.

My logic drives me to explore who benefits from my ignorance and weaknesses. If I believe in my personal irrelevance, am I working for my own benefit, for God, or for my group? To address this, I began to analyze and differentiate between physical and metaphorical realities, akin to separating apples from oranges. Mixing them only leads us astray because it dilutes their importance and relevance. Disregarding an individual’s relevance is not only wrong but also unspiritual, as injustice cannot be spiritual. Our justice systems crumble when influenced by politics. Any group, nation, belief system, or even the concept of God collapses if human beings are removed from the equation.

Fear and greed in your metaphorical world shouldn’t undermine your physical reality. If you do, you’re failing in your role as the CEO of your life. As the CEO of your existence, you make choices and decisions. Without introspection, you won’t be able to distinguish your true identity from the politically imposed ones. Although we have a spiritual dimension, political and hormonal influences, along with personal insecurities, can hinder our potential. This isn’t about life after death but about improving our current lives. Our spiritual side should help us live better during our lifetime. Our acquired knowledge can be tainted by group politics, detracting from our potential.

The reality of life after death has no physical basis. No religion has provided physical proof or repeatable results of an afterlife. If you are a puppet of your group, race, nation, or religion, you must first understand yourself thoroughly. Your abilities suggest that your beliefs are just one aspect of your life. Why must you adhere to a belief that surpasses your personal spirituality? You possess free will and a personal sense of justice. Therefore, questioning the demands of your group is essential.

Historical wars were fought with spears, swords, and arrows, which involved different levels of violence. Today, our emotional and educational development hasn’t kept pace with advancements in weaponry, creating a need for balance. Understanding political group affiliations must evolve, and equal human rights and unity as a single humanity are crucial. With nuclear and biological weapons, the old adage of “strength in numbers” no longer applies.

Believing in an afterlife is fine, but if you are asked to prioritize it over your current life, that’s political. The importance placed on the afterlife should benefit someone, but it’s neither you nor God, as God requires your physicality to translate spirituality into your living years. So, who benefits? Reflect on this because you are following blindly. Focus on fulfilling your duties during your lifetime, as that’s where your true responsibility lies.

Your living years are not a result of your or your group’s actions but a gift from God, given that you can’t even control your next breath. Thus, you have a spiritual duty of honest reciprocation. You can learn from your group, but you are not here to bow down or surrender your power to religious institutions. Instead, you have a direct relationship with God, and your purpose is to reciprocate the blessings of life.

Remember, God did not send you to be a sycophant; you were sent to work and reciprocate as a duty. This means helping those who cannot help themselves and are seeking divine assistance. This is the true purpose of human life. Following religious doctrines is one thing, but the reality of being human involves being an equal partner in manifesting spiritual values physically.

The demands for blind obedience often stem from political agendas within nations, races, or religions, not from God. These demands are designed to make you feel insecure and irrelevant, leading to compliance without questioning. Blind obedience results in loss of relevance, self-respect, and self-esteem. If you believe you were created as a human being, you are intrinsically connected to humanity and spiritually to God.

Basic spiritual principles call for individuals to be CEOs of their lives, equipped with autonomy. We are not meant to be mere worker bees, warrior ants, or political puppets. In the modern era, with information technology, humanity has become more interconnected. Every war crime, social injustice, and act of discrimination can be exposed instantly. Winning public opinion has become a political business. Politically manipulated truths and falsehoods are broadcasted. There is no solution unless individuals become powerful agents of change. A CEO cannot be swayed by politics, whereas a gullible individual can easily become a political puppet or extremist. Group politics thrive on making individuals feel irrelevant. Today’s transitional period highlights this twisted reality. For instance, an Iranian bodybuilder may be celebrated as a hero, while a girl is killed for a minor infraction of dress code. Achieving equal human rights requires addressing individual responsibilities and standing up against groups that stray from spiritual principles. We must acknowledge and uphold these rights before giving and receiving them.

I personally believe in belonging to humanity as a whole, so I must outgrow the boundaries of my belonging group. Otherwise, I won’t be able to see and judge all the politically twisted truths and hidden lies. Before we reach that point, we must critically examine our installed identities. We need to bring it all the way down to our individual selves, where we can harness our hormonally influenced urges to self-regulate. As spiritual beings, we are all responsible for our individual actions. At the end of the day, regardless of group, race, gender, nation, or religious beliefs, having free will makes us accountable.

Our opinions can be influenced by the politics of our affiliations, and our groups have learned to use politics and misinformation to sway public opinion. Interestingly, our wars often reveal the ugly side of group politics, turning propaganda into a regular part of contemporary strategies. People around the world are protesting not only to end wars but also to change human behavior. Humans have an animal or physical side as part of our nature, but this should be governed by our individual spiritual inhibitions and self-regulation. This is what sets us apart from other creatures. As evolved humans living in the present era, we are responsible for adhering to contemporary requirements, such as equal human rights. It’s time for us to adapt to the times we live in. Killing innocents has never been ethical, especially for spiritual beings like humans. We must recognize that we, individually, are responsible for lending our physicality to political groups. Groups cannot function if their members do not take action. If you believe you should follow whatever your group demands, reconsider. You are still responsible for your actions. Right or wrong is not the issue; rather, you can be challenged both internally and legally. As human beings, we are endowed with free will and a personal sense of justice for a reason.

I share this perspective as an outsider, with honest opinions independent of my installed identities or place of birth. My observations are not politically influenced or favor one group over another. My goal is to highlight our individual responsibilities as spiritual beings. When I look at the aftermath of our conflicts and wars, I see people blindly following their groups due to brainwashing that makes them forget their relevance. They adhere to their installed identities rather than recognizing their true humanity. As human beings, we are supposed to transcend our genetic calls and political influences. Yet, people continue to kill innocents, including babies, to let their animalistic or political sides prevail. A human being should never be spiritually blind. If you find yourself there, wake up and understand that none of us is programmed to be a mere worker bee or warrior ant. We are meant to be a collection of divine cells performing duties to translate spirituality into physical actions. The question is, are we fulfilling this role? Observe what our political affiliations are making us do.

I aim to awaken individuals to their potential and the flaws in group politics and personal weaknesses. This is not a political rhetoric; if it were, it would oppose both sides engaged in mutual destruction. My intention is not to pick sides but to point out that our individual weaknesses and political affiliations are at the root of our conflicts. These issues harm humanity by keeping individuals weak, vulnerable, and devoid of spiritual self-esteem. I avoid political sides and present my unbiased truths as I see them. People may have different perspectives due to their life circumstances, but we must understand the reasons behind our loyalties and hormonal influences to overcome them.

Our spiritual beliefs should make logical and spiritual sense, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. Religious beliefs have often overshadowed spirituality, and we have been mired in political differences for millennia. If your opinions are shaped by hormones or political influences, you have a personal responsibility to understand your whole self, including your spiritual side. You must learn about your own atom of autonomy, which grants you free will and a sense of justice. You are responsible for not only explaining your biases but also grounding them in spiritual principles.

In today’s world, you cannot hide behind God, the Devil, or political groups to justify personal bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, racism, nationalism, or desires to belong to dominant belief systems. As modern human beings, we must scrutinize everything we do and understand why we do it. Following the traditions, customs, and rituals of our groups is fine, but we cannot impose them as universal rules. All rules must be based on spiritually solid and equal justice systems. If you only understand the politics of your group, you may not like it, but humanity now demands equal human rights. Our preferences are not reliable spiritual gauges because our opinions can be swayed. You cannot connect your political affiliations or hormonally influenced loyalties to spiritual and just systems. If you blindly accept everything your political groups advocate, this blog may not resonate with you. However, if you belong to an era of equal human rights and are open to exploring and understanding the differences between metaphorical and physical realities, you may find this knowledge valuable for your inner peace and, indirectly, for global peace.

To become a CEO who takes personal responsibility and understands the concept of “dead dogs”—the causes of our wars and extreme hatred—we must recognize the potential of equal human rights. With the cleverness and strong emotional attachments to our groups, coupled with modern weaponry, things can escalate quickly if we don’t address the root causes of our conflicts. Modern weaponry could easily lead us to fulfill the ominous prophecies of our holy books. Ultimately, this falls on us individually, not on God, because we are all blessed with choices. Remember, if you are born as a human being to human parents and pass the genetic test, you belong to humanity as a whole and are responsible for your group’s wrongdoing as well. Your physical contribution is crucial, and a group cannot function without its members’ actions. Always remember your individual relevance, as intended by God.

You are so important that even in God’s world, physical input from humans is essential. While you might argue that humans cannot even breathe without divine assistance, consider how God’s work is physically accomplished. Good and bad actions require human effort to be meaningful. Miracles and natural disasters might be beyond scientific explanation, but blaming God for these events is not justified. Believing in God benefits us, but disregarding human physicality is a political rhetoric. This disregard undermines justice systems and can be challenged in court as a political manipulation by those who do not believe in God.

Always remember, if God has granted you free will and a sense of justice from the beginning of your life—or metaphorically, before your life—this makes you responsible for your actions. Keep in mind that you are adding physicality to something that becomes meaningful only through physical action. Why would you take away someone’s physical reality in the name of your metaphorical beliefs? Ask yourself why you are so weak and why groups use you as a political puppet. As a human being, you possess an atom of autonomy and are responsible for your actions. You cannot kill someone based on race, gender, nation, or religious beliefs.

The effects of our imaginations have never been fully understood, even after thousands of years of evolution. Therefore, our metaphorical realities cannot serve as the foundation for any human justice system. Miracles, while significant, cannot be broken down scientifically with repeatable results, so I will not place all my faith in that basket. This remains true regardless of how deeply I believe in my religious convictions. Ignoring someone’s human rights could lead to committing spiritual crimes in the name of God. This violates the fundamental rule of spirituality: “Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself or your loved ones.” Understand yourself and the spiritual powers within you to override imaginative and political pulls. Your imagination is powerful enough to create tangible effects, like anxiety, even without physical evidence. Be mindful of hormonal pulls and political rhetoric.

Let’s consider it this way: you can literally create a picture with your imagination to meditate and physically calm down. You can take a sugar pill and experience real, though unexplainable, physical effects due to the placebo effect. You can get hypnotized and do things you might not normally do. You can fall in love and experience emotions that are intensely exaggerated or even believe in God to enhance your life. Interestingly, you can also become anxious and create a living hell for yourself through your imagination. Although these things might not have happened yet or may not even physically occur, your mind alone can disrupt your peace of mind. Shouldn’t you then take charge of understanding and categorizing your realities? Believing blindly in the images created by your imagination may not reflect reality, but they can have real-life consequences for you.

So, reject any ideology that preaches sacrificing or giving up your life for metaphorical realities. Remember, a mullah or a priest is not to be blamed if you have been designated by God to be the CEO of your life.

You are capable of using your free will everywhere, so you must also call the shots in your life. You can believe in concepts like hell and heaven, but such beliefs should serve to benefit you in living peacefully. If you create hell for yourself or others through your actions, you need to take charge and become the CEO of your life, and do so quickly, as time is running out. Our mortal nature should be kept at the forefront to ensure we uphold spiritual justice.

Regardless of its popularity, I personally believe that the experimental philosophy of “carrot and stick” has not served humanity well. It does not seem to be very effective, as evidenced by crime rates in various societies. Most religious societies do not fare better in this regard, which is concerning because it undermines the notion that religious systems are inherently superior. This suggests that the “carrot and stick” approach, which is supposed to guide behavior through rewards and punishments, might not be as effective as claimed. In fact, in applying spiritual principles, religious societies may even fall short compared to secular ones. This critique applies to all religions, not just one in particular. If you doubt this, you can look up crime rates on Google. I previously wrote a blog titled “Circles of Life” as part one and “Storm in My Teacup” as part two to discuss this topic. In essence, it’s about managing what is within your control and not letting the uncontrollable aspects of life overwhelm you. A boiling cup of tea represents the detrimental effects of letting stress or uncontrollable factors take over your life. This knowledge is essential due to our mortal nature. Recognize that there are essential needs, like food and survival, that must be addressed by living, breathing individuals. Whether you believe in God or not, these responsibilities fall on us.

If you think God will handle everything, remember that while God may have provided for some of the uncontrollable aspects of life, the rest is up to us. Therefore, before judging those who struggle, consider their circumstances. If a culture prioritizes constructing impressive buildings or monuments in the name of God while neglecting those in need, there is a serious issue.

God has given us functioning bodies and favorable life circumstances such as oxygen, water, food, and love—things we cannot live without and are beyond our individual control. Since we are all creations of God, we have greater responsibilities than we are often taught. If we only show up with our basic needs met, what are we doing in return? We are all interconnected, yet we often claim ownership of the world and cause conflict over these unknowns. Shouldn’t we understand our true realities?

Imagine if you were a cell inside the body of your arm. You wouldn’t see the whole body or understand its functions. If you asked another cell whether there is a larger body we belong to, and it said no, claiming that we are just part of the arm, you would miss the bigger picture. Similarly, we must understand that if we receive uncontrollable life circumstances just like everyone else, we are part of something universal. We cannot live without fundamental necessities like oxygen, water, and love—just like everyone else. What sets us apart is often our politics and personal weaknesses. If you believe you only belong to a specific group rather than humanity as a whole, you miss the universal connection to spirituality and God. If you question why religions are tied to specific groups, you might find that removing these politics reveals a direct connection to God, spirituality, and humanity. This revelation can bring inner peace and help you become the CEO of your life, as intended by God.

Spiritual answers are only available to those who seek beyond group politics. While spiritual knowledge can be found in holy texts like the Quran or the Bible, if you are influenced by group politics, you may miss the true spiritual messages. I believe that mixing politics with spirituality often leads to conflicts and wars, with God being used as a political tool. This is a spiritual crime. I prefer to keep my political and spiritual affairs separate. Mixing the two can lead to committing spiritual crimes in the name of God. I would not want to be in such a position because I understand that inner conflicts have severe consequences, especially given our mortal nature. To me, mixing spirituality with politics is a crime against the divine world. Remember, God is a universal entity, so making God beneficial only for some and not for all is essentially imposing human limitations on God. If you are bigoted, prejudiced, or discriminatory due to group politics, that’s one thing, but labeling God with these traits is a spiritual sin. Reflect on what is happening in the world and within yourself. If you are confused, try distancing yourself from political affiliations and see what happens. Join the broader humanity, spirituality, and concept of one God to foster inner change and reach a place where God is not associated with human flaws.

Today, humanity calls for equal individual rights for legitimate reasons because we have been stumbling with politically tainted religions. Knowledge of equal human rights guides us toward real spirituality and one God, free from political influence. Our politically driven beliefs in human irrelevance cannot be changed by adhering to group ideologies. This is why humanity struggles to accept equal human rights as part of spiritual awareness.

Given that spirituality grants us personal autonomy, we are not only CEOs of our lives but also key players in this grand scheme. Whether negative or positive, you can choose to commit good or bad deeds. In summary, without your physical actions, things lose their significance. Spiritual principles must be translated into physical actions to remain relevant. For example, if you remove all humanity, the divine essence of God evaporates. Therefore, understanding your role and relevance in the grand scheme of things is crucial.

I refer to myself as a “dancing bottle” for a reason, but I do not consider myself a drunk. Each individual holds a crucial role and is like a bottle containing divine essence. We can dance through life for ourselves while making God meaningful by translating spirituality into physical actions. We keep the divine essence moving by acting on it. Since none of us can function or dance without this divine essence, both aspects are necessary—neither one nor the other. Some might argue passionately or violently over metaphorical realities, but I believe that, even with divine essence, we need to be “social drinkers” to make God function effectively. Human beings are physical entities who cannot function in isolation. This is why I believe in human relevance, regardless of popular opinion. If actions are not physical, they lack meaning for both humans and God. Since we physically support both God and ourselves, we should not be dismissed as irrelevant.

Our human reality is the physical reality for God, so we cannot prioritize metaphorical realities over physical ones. If you believe you are meaningless and irrelevant, you undermine your self-esteem. Question who benefits from your perceived irrelevance. It’s unlikely to be you, your group, or God. God needs strong individuals to convert spiritual principles into physical actions, not weak ones. The ones who benefit are those holding political power and using people as tools.

Let’s explore this further. Consider the placebo effect of a sugar pill; even scientists do not fully understand how it works. Let’s keep the door open for further understanding ourselves. Examine love, meditation, hypnotism, religious beliefs, and even God critically. If you believe in the image your teacher presents, you can enter a meditative state; otherwise, you may not. A hypnotist cannot influence you if you do not believe or if your mind is cluttered. Reflect on the reality of love and how it defies scientific explanation. The same goes for God and religious beliefs. If you explore why you might do harmful things to others, or why your imagination can create anxiety despite strong religious beliefs, you will see that some things defy explanation. Our knowledge is incomplete, and as evolving beings, it is natural to be uncertain. Unlike what religious leaders may tell you, observe our physical world to see our evolutionary nature. If you seek God, start by understanding yourself first.

If we all start to ask ourselves where we truly stand on equal human rights, it can reveal how much we understand about our personal realities. For instance, anything we don’t fully grasp remains in our metaphorical realities. When we can break it down scientifically and prove it with repeatable results, only then does it become our physical reality. Sure, you can adhere to your religious beliefs, but keep an eye on the humanity of today as well. We have achieved a lot, but we’re not done yet, so I urge people to stop killing each other over things that cannot be explained with our current knowledge or proven physically.

How well do you personally tolerate your metaphorical “alcohol” of God? Whether you belong to a group or not, follow a religion or not, believe in God or not, you need to understand one thing clearly. If you are an atom of autonomy holder, use your free will in all areas of your life, are aware of your personal sense of justice, and understand your mortal nature, you are responsible for your individual actions. You are a human being who uses free will at will. Therefore, you cannot hide behind your race, gender, color, nation, or religious beliefs because they are all merely your installed knowledge or data, and you are the one who operates or uses the computer.

If you kill an innocent person in the name of your group, nation, religion, or even God, you will face internal questioning from yourself. Just ask war veterans who return damaged from our conflicts. Interestingly, they did not die from the wars, but rather they lose the internal battle with their atom of autonomy to the point of even contemplating suicide. Remember, when it comes to killing for religious beliefs, you are implicating or involving God in your actions as well. That atom of autonomy will not remain passive because it is the divine observer living within you and knows you have free will and a personal sense of justice at your disposal. If you have committed wrongs for your group, whether it’s based on race, gender, nation, or religion, it not only shows your spiritual weakness but also leads you to a place where you start to think for God as well. If you are already in that place, you need to become open not only to your mortal nature but also to understanding the differences between your metaphorical and physical realities. In the dead of night, ask yourself why your life after death is more important to you than your living years. Reflect on the difference between the comfort of a full stomach and the physical reality of an empty stomach and survival. If you don’t, it makes you bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory. Remember, these are not titles to be proud of, especially in the era of equal human rights. Nowadays, they are almost like swear words to the new generations. In essence, what I’m trying to say is that, unfortunately or fortunately, you were born in an era where equal human rights are not just asked for but demanded. So, if you want equal rights, you must learn to give them as well because applause does not come with one hand, just as you cannot light up the spiritual world with one wire.

Why does one have to become the CEO of their own life to understand why they have an out-of-control sense of belonging? Why, despite the blessings of free will and a personal sense of justice, can one not think beyond their political pigeonhole? Don’t we all belong to humanity as a whole before we belong to our political groups? Logically, if we are born and can pass the physical or genetic test of being a human, we automatically belong to humanity as a whole. So, when and where did things go wrong? And why do most of us believe that our security issues are best left to group-based politics? Why can’t we understand our abilities and who we really are as individuals? Why do we act below the standards of present-day evolution? As human beings, we need self-exploration. You simply can’t achieve that unless you become the questioning CEO of your own life. The process of becoming a CEO places a lot of responsibilities on our shoulders, so we tend to avoid those responsibilities and stay complacent with our group rules, even if they go against spiritual principles. Despite having a personal sense of justice, we leave it to our groups. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work well for us individually because we sacrifice our free will and personal sense of justice for the sake of our political affiliations. So, today, we all need to come out of our thousands-of-years-old influential pigeonholes and their indoctrinated points of view.

Look at the distant past and even present-day conflicts. We may have emerged from the bush and cave times, but our actions do not match the level of evolution we have achieved in other areas of life. We intentionally kill even babies of our own kind, regardless of their guilt. I personally blame the individual weakness of all humans belonging to any political group, nation, or religion because each one of us has the capacity to use our free will and personal sense of justice to make choices before committing spiritual crimes. So, if a political group can brainwash you, it is your weakness. You cannot hide behind political affiliations and deny your human identity and responsibilities. Yet, despite our abilities and potential, we blindly follow our groups with political bias, as if we are puppets. We not only fail to question but also compete to commit spiritual crimes with pride. No matter how you cut it, as human beings, we are evolving entities. We cannot be emotionally drunk on our religious beliefs or metaphorical realities while simultaneously having our finger on nuclear weaponry.

I am not talking about an atom bomb; I am referring to our atom of autonomy that allows us to use our free will and personal sense of justice. We need to evolve to meet the demands of our present era. If you are unwilling to amend your religious traditions, customs, rituals, and rules, you will also be unable to amend your constitutions. We should all be able to adapt, mold, and evolve according to the needs of the era we are born into. We should say no to being intoxicated by our religious beliefs or political affiliations. There is no spiritual excuse for a human being to follow group politics because we are all blessed with free will and a personal sense of justice. As individuals born in today’s time, we need to take the desperately needed next step on our metaphorical evolutionary ladder. This ladder may be metaphorical, but it is as real and physical as can be. It has always been part of our evolution, going back to when human awareness first emerged. Even our so-called spiritual authorities could not restrain us from evolutionary nature. We have been blinded by our group education systems. Since individual awareness often conflicts with group interests, it has been discouraged by most governing systems. Logically, if our religious leaders stand against every scientific or medical innovation, they are actually opposing God’s evolutionary nature for political reasons. God has nothing to do with it because God is the one who installed us with evolutionary nature.

As evolving entities, we must not only acknowledge the legitimacy of this evolutionary ladder but also have the responsibility to climb it continuously in all areas of our lives. If you examine the makeup of human beings, you will conclude that not climbing this ladder of evolution is actually going against God’s will. As human beings, we are designed to take charge, regardless of how deeply we feel about our groups. Individually, we must learn about our evolutionary nature, which tells us an ongoing story that is not yet concluded. This should remind us that there has always been, is, and will always be more room for life beyond our personal insecurities and pigeonholes.

Regardless of our level of individual or collective awareness, our evolutionary genes indicate that humanity has much more room to evolve. Looking back shows that no human intervention has ever stopped us from following these divine orders of evolution. We have tried kingdoms, socialism, communism, dictatorships, autocracy, democracy, and many religions as governing systems. Yet one thing has stayed consistent: our evolution. So, if you find yourself stuck in politically preached pigeonholes, SNAP OUT OF YOUR GROUP BELONGING AND LEARN TO BELONG TO HUMANITY AS A WHOLE, BECAUSE THINGS NEED TO CHANGE WITHIN YOU. Try to sense the equal human rights in the air. Instead of going backward, embrace the time and era you are born into. Remember, as I have repeatedly said, physically we belong to humanity as a whole and spiritually we belong directly to one God—no ifs or buts about it. Whether you believe in God or not, you are not living your life without external help. If you don’t believe, that’s fine, but having a belief system allows you to live fearlessly—IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE. You have a life story unfolding with elements in and out of your control. To me, if you did not come into your life by choice and leave without choice, you have some help even in taking your next breath. If you don’t believe in anything, you might as well be a religious extremist.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE OR REJECT BELIEF? EITHER WAY, IF YOU ARE AN EVOLVING ENTITY LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY, YOUR KNOWLEDGE HAS NOT BEEN AND IS NOT COMPLETE. THEREFORE, CLAIMING TO KNOW EVERYTHING IS LOGICALLY WRONG.

Since God has always called us to use our spiritual side to be good and decently evolved human beings, we need to embrace that responsibility. Whether we believe in God or not, being a well-evolved human being is an individual responsibility. We must urgently understand what is at stake in addressing our present-day issues. We need to learn why we each individually and collectively have evolving nature and potential. Interestingly, our potential is continually evolving. Regardless of age, although it may be challenging, we constantly learn something new. This means our brains are continually forming new neurons, indicating that our potential has no limits. This is particularly important if political affiliations make you feel like a political puppet. You need to step out of these metaphorical pigeonholes, set aside emotional urges or political influences, and focus on your primary identity as a human being. Logically, you belong to humanity as a whole, not just its groups.

All your installed identities relate to your political affiliations and have nothing to do with spirituality or God. You come into this world with your physical identity, long before your birth. By following your true identity as a human, you will naturally understand where you stand and how to handle internal and external challenges. Becoming the CEO of your own life is essential for addressing modern issues effectively. Today, securing ourselves goes beyond building social and communal walls. Do you really believe that walls in China, Germany, or Israel can prevent infectious diseases, global warming, demands for equal human rights, or even nuclear threats?

With our evolving human nature, our knowledge and abilities are in a constant state of development. While we are evolving rapidly, we are still only scratching the surface of our potential. This indicates that there is ample room for further evolution and learning about our humanity.

Just as muscle building requires consistent resistance training, other forms of evolution also require a similar approach. A butterfly must struggle to become a butterfly. As human beings, we must understand that we are meant to become what we were created to be. Becoming the CEO of your own life is the first, albeit challenging, step toward spiritual growth. We may not grow wings or horns, but we still need to overcome our primal urges and political influences to achieve spiritual growth. As insecure individuals, we must open the doors closed by religious or political leaders. If insecurities have been politically created within you by your own groups, you need to dig deeper to discover your spiritual side and evolve. Understanding our makeup can provide insight into our humanity; otherwise, we would continue struggling as we have for thousands of years.

Blessed with our atom of autonomy, we are set apart from other creatures and uniquely human. Among other abilities, we can use our free will and personal sense of justice, which are crucial for shaping our lives. Thus, political affiliations and hormonal influences should be addressed and overridden by us individually. If you believe in your irrelevance, your political affiliations and hormonal influences might prevent you from taking charge of your life.

As I have mentioned before, God is a universal entity, like spirituality and true or blind justice. No one should be able to use God as an extension of their group. Today, we have the ability to destroy thousands or even millions with the push of a button, without distinguishing between guilt and innocence.

Standing as a human individual, especially as the CEO of your own life, helps put things—people, religion, and even God—in their rightful places. While history is filled with disputes and wars, we also have much to be proud of. If you need proof, look at our ongoing evolution in various aspects of life. Modern societies, regardless of diverse backgrounds and political baggage, are learning to coexist under a shared system of law and order. If humanity does not take the next step in our evolution and grant each other equal human rights, things will remain unchanged. Continuing to adhere to outdated political rhetoric and group loyalties could lead to a bleak future. Unfortunately, the possibility of destroying humanity due to political whims or group ideologies is real. This scenario, predicted by multiple holy books, raises the question: will such destruction be caused by spiritual forces or by physical agents with free will?

Historically, the longest-lasting disputes and wars have involved groups invoking God to fuel conflict. These religious wars are often the bloodiest and most enduring. Regardless of whether disputes are about resources or territory, when God is invoked, both sides find ample willing participants. Politicians on both sides use fiery rhetoric to incite individuals to kill and die in the name of the same God. This is why I advocate for individuals to be the CEOs of their own lives. By doing so, they can avoid being swayed by nonspiritual motivations in the name of religion, as this ultimately constitutes a spiritual crime. Labeling God as prejudicial or discriminatory is a sin. Whether individually or collectively, using God for political gain disrespects the essence of God. We must recognize that free will and personal sense of justice place responsibility for our actions squarely on us. While we are supported by the natural world to commit our deeds, we are ultimately accountable for them. The question remains: why does God not intervene to prevent us from committing spiritual crimes? My answer is that God wants us to evolve and take charge. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for example, highlights our need to become aware and evolve to the next level. While Palestinians once threw rocks at Israeli tanks, they now fire rockets. The future is uncertain. Who benefits from more destruction? Often, it is the conservative and orthodox individuals from both sides who continue the conflict, using God to perpetuate the war. Most religions preach compassion, yet religious wars are among the bloodiest and longest-lasting. If both sides claim God is on their side, they are using God in a prejudicial and discriminatory way. Regardless of who is politically exploiting God, they are committing a spiritual crime by misrepresenting God’s nature.

In modern warfare, we no longer use swords and spears to kill each other, nor do we keep our women and children away from the battlefields. Today, there are no designated battlegrounds; instead, heavy-duty bombs and missiles are launched to destroy cities and force their inhabitants into submission. It has never been, and should never be, acceptable to intentionally kill innocents. Regardless of the era in which we are born, we should all uphold some moral and ethical standards. The responsibility for our actions rests on our individual shoulders. Therefore, despite internal and external pressures, we must be able to say no to politically inspired killings of innocent people.

The old ethical practice of keeping innocents away from the battlefront no longer applies because modern weaponry has changed the game. Historically, political affiliations and the human tendency towards group loyalty have increasingly distanced individuals from their personal sense of justice. The principle of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” seems to have been forgotten. This imbalance is dangerous because our spiritual side is losing ground compared to our more primal instincts. Today’s warfare often involves the intentional destruction of residential buildings, blurring the line between soldiers and ordinary citizens. If you belong to the opposing group, you are deemed a legitimate target, regardless of your personal guilt or innocence. Whether you are a child or an adult, whether you agree with the war or not, does not matter. You could be killed simply because you are part of the opposing group.

Being part of a group, gang, nation, or religion is a political construct, but being a human comes with major responsibilities. As human beings, we are also spiritual entities, so whether we kill or are killed in the name of group affiliations, we are responsible for our actions—period. Contemporary conflicts, such as those in Ukraine, Palestine, or unresolved disputes like Kashmir, should not be ignored or dismissed by political organizations like the United Nations. A dispute lasting seventy-five years should be a wake-up call to humanity and its so-called justice organizations. Prolonging such disputes only helps groups recruit more people willing to kill and die and to acquire more lethal weaponry. Should this be considered collateral damage in an evolved humanity? Judge for yourself, but seventy-five years of unresolved conflict is unacceptable. History shows that prolonged disputes lead to more innocent lives lost, making humanity’s face increasingly darker. We are not defined by our religious groups; individually, we are not irrelevant unless we believe ourselves to be. Human beings have been trained with a carrot-and-stick philosophy, which has been mistakenly applied to human training as well. This approach has failed because disputes often push back against attempts at submission.

Reviewing history, it is evident that many groups have used and continue to use God to instill fear of hell and the promise of heaven. If this approach were effective in creating good and civilized individuals, I would support it. Unfortunately, it has not proven to be a truthful or effective philosophy, as crime rates remain consistent regardless of religious affiliation. In fact, secular societies often report lower crime rates per capita compared to their religious counterparts. Our inherent sense of autonomy allows us to self-regulate better than if we feel irrelevant. Those with low self-esteem may seek political affiliations for regulation, but in the absence of self-regulation and responsibility, the result is a lack of accountability.

Regardless of the claims of being right or wrong collectively, I place blame on the politics of group belonging. I insist that all human beings belong to humanity as a whole and should have equal human rights. We should strive for equal human rights rather than group rights, as group rights do not provide peaceful or spiritual solutions. Security walls and political rhetoric cannot solve modern problems. The real question is not what is happening now, but what the future holds. Human evolution will not revert to primitive methods like throwing rocks.

Witnessing the death of family members, regardless of one’s side in a conflict, will understandably lead to outrage and a desire for retribution. Given such emotional volatility, if one were given a nuclear weapon, it could lead to indiscriminate destruction, including self-destruction. It is crucial for everyone involved to move beyond group mentalities and political affiliations, to embrace their role within humanity, and to uphold responsibilities as human beings. Equal human rights must be granted and received to resolve territorial disputes without invoking divine justification.

Regardless of my personal belief system, I am opposed to the killing of innocent individuals, such as the six-year-old child stabbed by his landlord simply for being Muslim. Even far from the actual conflict zones, political influences can lead to violence if one is not in control of their life. Despite such instances, Western nations’ model of coexistence should be a model for humanity. It may not be perfect, but it represents a step toward equal human rights. It is time for each of us to embrace our individual roles within humanity and question group politics. If there is injustice or spiritual crime, we should speak out. The current era is increasingly dangerous, so no disputes should be ignored or left under political covers.

Belonging to humanity with equal human rights and justice is the answer to many of our political conflicts. Justice must be pure of politics; it cannot be exclusive to any group. Justice, like God and spirituality, is universal. Regardless of where a crime is committed, it remains a crime, and our justice system should be universal, not political. The blindfolded Lady Justice symbolizes impartiality. Although no one has seen God physically, most of humanity believes in God’s existence. Even atheists, though they may not believe in God, are similar to believers in that they make assumptions about existence, reflecting our incomplete and evolving knowledge.

Humanity should operate under a single foundational justice of equal human rights. In a constant state of conflict where individual lives are often undervalued, human beings lose their spiritual strength by succumbing to hormonal and political influences. When survival becomes the priority, civilization falls apart, and the desire for revenge can overshadow spiritual values. Inflicting love loss is a pain no one should experience because it leads to a cycle of retaliation. If we do not address our group affiliations and political biases, we risk fulfilling the destructive prophecies found in holy books. Modern technology offers us a path forward—should we become bigots and discriminatory beings, or should we take charge and become CEOs of our lives, overcoming political divisions?

Continuing along the paths of our less evolved ancestors or adhering to outdated political methods will not lead to equal human rights or solutions to modern problems. Most of our issues stem from failing to grant and receive equal human rights. It is crucial for us to embrace equal human rights and recognize the damage caused by group affiliations. We must change our approach, starting with a commitment to humanity as a whole.

If you are hesitant to demand equal human rights due to fear of your group’s reaction, remember that you are not alone. By putting yourself in the shoes of those who face discrimination, you should adopt the principle of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is an opportunity for anyone willing to take control of their own life. Crossing political and emotional boundaries is challenging, especially when promoted by all groups.

To understand this predicament, gather personal strength and envision it this way: if you are a cell in an arm, you should acknowledge that you belong to the arm, despite not knowing its inner workings. We have moved beyond that era of ignorance. Today, everything is questioned globally, and the world has become a small village. Yet, humanity continues to govern through group politics, and individuals are still not strong enough to question their political affiliations.

Belonging to humanity as a whole can be an uncomfortable and problematic zone to navigate, but interestingly, we have already stepped into that era. Today, infectious diseases, global warming, dangerous weaponry, and the pursuit of equal human rights are issues that cross all boundaries of belonging groups. So, you might ask yourself, especially if you don’t typically follow the trends of your era, how are you going to be useful to your group, race, nation, or religion if the problems faced by humanity transcend these boundaries?

Reflecting on my personal experiences, when I arrived in Iraq long ago, the Iran-Iraq War began shortly after, and I eventually found myself in Kuwait. I was struck by the use of names there, where people incorporate “bin” (son) and “Abu” (father) into their names, followed by their grandfather’s, great-grandfather’s names, and eventually their tribe’s name. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now I see that these long names signify a deep sense of belonging and identity.

However, I believe that a human being belongs to humanity as a whole. We don’t need all these identities to define who we really are. The concept of belonging to various groups is one of the significant issues faced by humanity today. For instance, if a child born to Hindu parents in India is adopted by a couple who choose to raise them as Christian, Muslim, Sikh, or atheist, the child’s identity becomes a matter of debate. The question is, does the child remain Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, or atheist, or does their identity shift with their upbringing? While debates on this topic may be endless, we must focus on the practical world where equal human rights are essential for everyone, regardless of political or religious affiliations. Humanity has long yearned for equality, but politics of belonging have often overshadowed this quest. Thankfully, voices are rising against bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination.

If you believe in being the CEO of your own life in an era that demands equal human rights, then fighting and killing over metaphorical realities seems absurd, especially when no one can present God physically and on demand. In the physical world, a child is a living, breathing human being from birth. Adding political identities to this reality often leads to dire consequences.

Since I believe in equal human rights, I see politically imposed identities as a major source of our spiritual shortcomings. I urge everyone to become the CEO of their own lives and step out of politically biased pigeonholes to embrace their responsibilities as human beings. As human beings, we inherently possess autonomy. If God intended for us to have free will and a personal sense of justice, then we are born with these traits. This means we bear significant responsibility for our actions, far beyond what we may have been taught. The responsibility to challenge political groups and maintain spiritual integrity lies with each individual. We are human beings, not mere animals. While one might argue that we evolved from primates, the fact remains that if evolution were purely physical, our closest relatives would still be living in the bush. Evolution involves more than just physical changes; it encompasses spiritual growth as well.

Returning to the adopted child scenario, one could argue that a child born Hindu remains Hindu by birth, but if raised with different values, they might identify as Christian, Sikh, or Muslim. Regardless of these identities, we can either continue to fight over them or choose to be good, evolved human beings who make decisions based on real and God-given free will and personal sense of justice. Humanity remains divided and continues to divide further, prompting me to express my views openly. Although this may seem like a dry subject, it is crucial to address. Long names may signify something, but we must first acknowledge our fundamental identity as human beings.

For you, what will it be: identifying as a human being or clinging to other installed identities, such as sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, or even wealth and physical appearance? These labels are shaped by life circumstances and education, but they are not our true essence. Remember, the ability to think precedes installed beliefs, so your identity is not confined to your acquired knowledge or data.

The question is: Would you prefer to be judged by your installed identities or simply be a human being experiencing life on Earth? Political identities often lead to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, depriving others of equal opportunities and rights. Equal human rights should start and end with our nature. Embracing mortality as an identity can help put things into perspective. If you feel superior simply because of your group affiliation, it’s time to reconsider. Being bigoted or discriminatory is not a point of pride today. Humanity has reached a new level of spirituality and is now in an era where equal human rights are demanded, not merely requested.

To align with this new era, we must override everything we’ve been politically conditioned to believe. Your identity is not your body, nor is it the data or knowledge accumulated from your mortal existence.

My understanding is that your installed identities will not leave you alone until you become the CEO of your life. Take the current Palestinian-Israeli dispute, for example. If you delve into it, you’ll find a centuries-old land conflict fueled by differing belief systems. This issue fits perfectly into this discussion, and I believe the solutions can be found through a spiritual approach, free from political systems. For instance, if we all advocated for equal human individual rights instead of group rights, things might improve. Otherwise, the same old politics of group belonging will continue to corrupt us all individually, compelling us to do the dirty work for our political groups. Yes, this can only be resolved if we sincerely give and receive equal human individual rights and refuse to act as puppets. This is why I believe that equal human rights are the wrench in our political or group belonging. To me, explaining the root causes of our problems is more important than offering quick fixes or sweeping issues under the political rug. I support finding permanent solutions instead of politically picking sides.

Killing civilians and destroying infrastructure is one thing, but intentionally targeting children is especially heinous, particularly for those who have witnessed atrocities themselves. From an external perspective, I see many more reasons for Israelis to understand the suffering they have caused. Spiritually, if you know how painful it was for you, yet you continue to inflict the same suffering on others, it reflects a spiritual inadequacy at the individual level. Political pressures to support your group are significant, but standing by spiritual principles is crucial, especially for those who belong to modern humanity.

By now, it should be clear that your politically installed identities will not leave you alone unless you become the CEO of your life. That’s what you were meant to be as a human being—a CEO who understands how to respect their own atom of autonomy and override animalistic and political influences. If you are still entrenched in your installed identities, despite living in the modern era, you need to heed the calls of your spiritual nature rather than those of political belonging. Responding to hormonal and political influences is a duty for all of us. Strive to align yourself with the present era of equal human individual rights because group rights have caused immense suffering and continue to claim innocent lives, including those of children. If you question the reasons behind your political belonging honestly, you will likely seek security. While that seems logical, it distances you from your spiritual nature and leads you to commit spiritual wrongs against others. I know I am repeating this, but I believe it is important to emphasize: being human requires acknowledging our shared identity as part of humanity, rather than clinging to politically imposed identities.

Logically, naturally, and spiritually, you belong to universal concepts like spirituality, humanity, universal justice, and God. If you identify with politically tainted categories like race, gender, color, nation, or religion, you risk losing your true status as a human being. Our physical existence should contribute to God’s meaningful work, not harm or diminish it simply because of differences in the body.

Recognize that you are buried under political identities and discover who and what you truly are and what you hold within. Spiritually, you belong to one universal God, not one manipulated by political groups. If you believe in your installed identities solely because of your political affiliations, you will perceive God as being buried with you. Humanity faces a thinking problem, but it is a healthy challenge because it can lead us to evolve and progress—if we are aware of being politically buried. We have evolved to the point where we demand equal human rights, not because of group thinking but due to our individual and universal evolution. Although it’s not perfect yet, it stems from our atom of autonomy and personal sense of justice. As awareness grows, humanity may one day achieve an ideal state of spiritual being.

Politically, groups often make God a political entity. I believe that making God political and limiting Him to certain groups is a spiritual crime. If you and your group are doing this, you are committing a spiritual crime by turning God into a political entity for your group’s benefit. There can’t be more than four thousand active religious beliefs if God were controlling our actions. Since we are blessed with our atom of autonomy, God has placed the responsibility on our individual shoulders. I encourage you to break free and embrace your real responsibilities. Your group may not want you to question things, but if we possess Godly ordered evolutionary genes, questioning is essential. Humanity did not reach its current level by following group politics. Ideas arise from individuals and are acted upon by individuals to be meaningful. So, how did groups gain so much power over individuals? The answer lies in creating an environment that makes individuals feel insecure and vulnerable, leading them to cling to their groups. This situation will not change until individuals become aware of their inner selves.

Many groups want their members to feel insecure so they will depend on the group for security. Some groups go so far as to keep their members uneducated to prevent questioning. With the rise of democracy, if equal human rights make sense to you, what is the problem? The answers lie in critically examining the agendas of political groups. If you see them fighting over a child’s identity rather than their human individuality, they are fighting for strength in numbers. If you don’t see this reality, it should be made clear to you. The old politics of strength in numbers drive these conflicts and have nothing to do with spirituality, God, or humanity as a whole. Religions often claim they act for God, but human individuals should always seek security, even beyond death. Security has been sold to us with political twists and turns, whether in life or after death. Groups provide a false sense of security in both physical and metaphorical realms, yet they call on individuals to sacrifice their lives for security. If that’s not a political twist, what is?

Reciprocity is essential in all human relationships, but groups don’t provide oxygen, functioning bodies, or favorable life circumstances. Therefore, our reciprocation should be directed towards helping God, as God works through human physicality to be meaningful. Logically, we cannot take the life of another based on group politics. If you are asked to sacrifice your life merely because you were born into a group, it is nothing more than political manipulation. If you are not the CEO of your life, you will act like a worker bee or a warrior ant. While loyalties are important, our primary commitment should be to universal justice and spiritual integrity.

Groups may only offer prayers and not the means to ensure our survival or well-being. Therefore, groups do not have the right to ask us to kill or die for them. As the CEO of your life, you must carefully consider your choices because the consequences are yours alone.

The gauge for assessing wrongdoing is simple: “If you do things to others that you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones, that is wrong, plain and simple.” Therefore, causing harm to others in the name of a group, nation, or religion remains your responsibility because you are blessed with your atom of autonomy. This inner sense of justice is a crucial aspect of our spiritual selves. Don’t become a victim of yourself, as spiritual suffering is a tangible reality. Just ask war veterans about the difficulty of dealing with their inner demons. I don’t call them inner demons but rather a manifestation of our atom of autonomy punishing those who ignore their spiritual gifts of free will and personal justice.

Beyond the few who are either comfortable or blissfully ignorant of the politics of belonging, there is a general consensus among the modern-day population about the need for equal human rights. I believe that most political disputes can be resolved simply by extending equal human rights to everyone involved, but this needs to be done at the individual level.

For example, in today’s world, we have successfully functioning melting pot societies where people, despite their different backgrounds, manage to coexist without conflict over race, gender, nationality, or religion. However, in areas where equality is lacking, conflicts persist—even for thousands of years. In the modern world, if people cannot resolve these disputes, it is often because they are unwilling to grant equal human rights. Places like Palestine and Kashmir will remain conflict-ridden until every individual is respected beyond their background or assigned identities.

As I have repeatedly stated, equal human rights are the key to resolving our modern-day national and religious disputes. If we are willing to give and receive equal human rights individually, we would be honoring individual relevance. Since political and religious groups often oppose individual relevance, they resist change. This resistance is why humanity struggles to adopt spiritual concepts like equal human rights. Even our so-called spiritual leaders fail to accept individual relevance. The United Nations and international justice systems are hindered by resistance from political groups and undemocratic veto powers. To truly support equal human rights, we must reform even the veto power system and give these institutions the authority they need.

Spirituality is an inherent part of all of us from the start. Therefore, change must occur at the individual level to make a difference. Notice that I refer specifically to human individual rights, not group rights. Groups or collectives often struggle with prejudice and discrimination, which is why our religious beliefs do not guarantee high levels of spirituality. When a religious group is politically tainted, it can obstruct spiritual advancements like medical or social progress. This resistance makes it difficult to accept basic changes like individual strength and a direct connection to humanity as a whole. Nations and religions are still stuck in old political patterns. I am addressing those who have been victimized or sacrificed in the name of race, nation, or religion. If we do not individually address our modern-day problems, we risk further damaging humanity.

Our modern disputes and wars, driven by race, nationality, and religion, must end because our current weaponry is extremely dangerous. The responsibility of being a modern human calls for reconsideration of political affiliations and a shift from group-based politics to a focus on humanity as a whole. We must recognize what we are today, not what we were in the past. The slow progress toward equal human rights is due to some people’s pride in their bigotry and discrimination. As humanity evolves, so must we, starting with a genuine commitment to equal human rights. If we continue to adhere to the prejudices passed down from our ancestors, we will remain trapped in barbaric behaviors. Our individual responsibility is to ensure we do not pass on emotional baggage and destructive politics to future generations.

Humanity’s evolution has led us to acknowledge the need for equal human rights. Continuing to follow insecurity-based group politics will keep us in a cycle of disputes and wars. Today’s conflicts are fought with weapons far more lethal than swords and arrows. Thus, it is crucial to examine our emotional influences and spiritual awareness.

Our ancestors were focused on group strength and politics, but today things have changed significantly. Humanity has become smaller but more complex, and we need new ways to manage global challenges. Issues like global warming, internet crimes, and infectious diseases require a collective global response. Yet, we are still engaged in conflicts driven by group oppression and territorial disputes.

The idea of living with tolerance has been proven by our melting pot societies. However, we are still mired in disputes that transcend physical realities. If we fight over religious differences, we are dealing with issues beyond our physical understanding. Robbing someone of their life or physical reality over such unknowns is based solely on group politics. If we, as individuals, can rise above political group affiliations and embrace humanity as a whole, we might overcome these political killings.

Even if we do not fully understand what drives us, we should investigate rather than blindly follow those who dictate our beliefs to the point of violence. We should recognize that we do not know everything. As decision-makers, we should choose to be reasonably evolved humans. We should not commit acts against others that we would not want done to ourselves or our loved ones—regardless of race, gender, nationality, or religion. A human individual is an independent entity who should consider the consequences and responsibilities before committing social or spiritual crimes.

I did not mention God in this context because I believe God is beyond human group politics and insecurities. Despite how extensively God has been used for political purposes, I refuse to believe that God can be corrupted or influenced by human politics. God represents pure spirituality, just like blind justice. Wrongdoing is rooted in individual insecurities or group politics. If you or your group use God for political purposes, it reflects on you, not on God. God, spirituality, and justice are universal and unbiased. Any favoritism towards a specific group is based on political belonging, not divine principles.

We need politics to manage our affairs, but using God or metaphorical concepts as political tools is questionable. Our social systems should be founded on current physical realities. Where justice is bought and sold, it ceases to be blind justice. When spirituality is mixed with group politics, it loses its purity. Spirituality and God are universal and unbiased, and we should learn to embrace humanity as a whole. Labeling God based on group biases is disrespectful and unfounded. Our group politics must be separated from our spiritual beliefs and justice systems to maintain their purity and integrity. Let’s keep these facts in mind as we move forward.

As human beings, mortality and the uncertainty of time are inherent to our nature. Whether it’s coming or going, we individually have no control over this aspect of our lives. We all experience aging and live out our unique life stories. Some might believe that we write our life stories as we go, but the question remains: why do most of us have different stories? Some live longer lives, while others die from accidents, disease, or even violence in the name of group affiliations. Regardless of the truth, the fact remains that we come into this world without personal influence and as mortals. We leave it reluctantly, often clinging to life because we love it so much. Deep down, we all know that we don’t really know what comes after death. Some may speculate about heaven or hell, but no one returns with concrete evidence. We might watch many man-made movies or wholeheartedly believe in religious stories, but the reality is that we don’t truly know. Claiming to know everything is merely following a group. In reality, you are an evolving entity, and your knowledge is constantly evolving. Therefore, if you are always learning new things, your knowledge is incomplete, and you cannot claim to know everything.

Typically, we have been sold metaphorical realities as physical truths due to political influences. Logically, to discover what lies beyond, one must die. I am not here to sow doubts about anyone’s beliefs, but I do advocate for decency, urging us to live and let live in peace during our lifetimes. We might be promised a magical world if we adhere to our group’s doctrines, or threatened with eternal damnation. Since no political group will reveal the full truth, we must individually reach our own conclusions and choose to live our lives as evolving entities. As evolving beings, our knowledge will someday reach a point where we must change our minds to accommodate this evolved knowledge, much like how we amend constitutions. To me, that day has arrived. Not long ago, the notion of equal human rights was nonexistent. In a single lifetime, transitioning from being a bigot to earnestly seeking, giving, and receiving equal human rights represents a significant leap of faith. Today, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination have become derogatory terms. If we investigate the causes of our behaviors, we will find that they often lead to the politics of group belonging.

As individual humans, if we understand that we play a major role in translating spirituality into physical actions, we make spirituality and God meaningful. This understanding alone can have profoundly positive effects on one’s spiritual health. As spiritually healthy individuals, we recognize that without the individual, there is no humanity. Without physical actions, there are no concepts of good and bad. Thus, there is no value to God or the Devil because they cannot function without human physicality. Observing lifeless planets shows that they have no value unless humans can inhabit them. Logically, without human contributions, good or bad are relegated to the realm of miracles. I cannot see God or the Devil performing actions for themselves. The existence of good or bad is dictated by human actions. Therefore, denying the relevance of individuals is akin to denying the physical existence of God. If you believe in God’s existence while denying justice to individuals and keeping them irrelevant, you need to critically examine your spiritual system. Real spirituality entails no injustice towards any individual, group, or even God.

As I mentioned earlier, we do not choose our life circumstances, such as oxygen, favorable conditions, a functioning body, or eternal youth, despite our strongest desires. We are granted evolving knowledge and nature, and if we are given free will, it implies that no God, no human beings; no human beings, no God—at least physically or without assumptions.

Since there is no physical evidence, we all must die to discover the truth about the afterlife. As evolving entities, if we remove the politics of group belonging, things could drastically change for us, especially individually. Remember, the stories about the afterlife belong to our metaphorical reality. Today’s physical reality shows us that Egyptians and Chinese took material belongings to their graves, believing they would need them in the next life. If you ask them how that worked out physically, you don’t need to assume; history shows they were robbed by living beings who still believed in the same practices. Their physical actions speak for themselves.

I hold certain standards for myself, and I cannot believe that God would play political games for specific groups of people or cause harm to others for them. I personally do not believe in a politically tainted God. I assert that God, spirituality, blind justice, and humanity are universal. To confine them to a group is to reduce them to mere human politics. Humanity cannot tally the death toll from group politics; it’s time for change, and calls for equal human rights are driving that change. Anyone opposing equal human rights is influenced by their political groups. Whether they belong to a race, gender, nation, or religion, if they are not giving what they are receiving, it is not spiritual. I believe that anything undermining the individual, humanity, spirituality, and God is tainted by human politics.

Regardless of religions, God should never be used in human politics. Labeling God as political is degrading and disrespectful. God cannot be involved in our political disputes or killings. Logically, this undermines human relevance because it contradicts the divine wisdom of what a human being is or should be. Being God’s physical agents in translating spirituality into actions is a significant responsibility. Using God for political purposes reflects our individual and collective spiritual inadequacies. If humans are created with free will, then logically, God cannot be held responsible for our actions. Our groups consist of individuals with free will, and it’s up to us to either impede or embrace progress. The problem lies not with those who want to change or not change, but with those who wish to stick to extremes. If we are divided, it suggests the need for gradual adaptation. Perhaps God is intentionally guiding us to evolve at a safe and comfortable pace. Learning to adapt as mortals can be challenging, so a little help from divine wisdom can benefit us all.

Humanity has always been, is, and will always be divided over our metaphorical realities due to our assumptions. Consequently, God, human relevance, and other differences of opinion are passionately argued. This is because we all grapple with the politics of belonging to our groups. As human beings, we are still evolving, so logically, we should leave room for differing opinions and use our evolving knowledge to avoid passion-driven disputes and even wars. If each of us simply accepted that we are in an ongoing process of evolution with incomplete knowledge, things could improve. Our major problems arise when we confuse our realities, both individually and collectively, especially for political purposes.

Some people wholeheartedly prioritize their metaphorical realities over physical ones, while others rely exclusively on science and believe that human knowledge is complete. Interestingly, although we continually learn, we often claim our knowledge is complete. This is true whether we discuss history, science, or modern technology, as there will always be disputing opinions. Our collective ego is a key factor here. We can choose to respect our past and ancestors, or we can dig up old grievances to fuel ongoing disputes. While we can learn from our past, problems arise when opposing opinions are used for political purposes, which impedes our progress and evolution.

The more we cling to our metaphorical realities, the more we resist and argue against physical realities, including the positive advancements of modern-day humanity, such as scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, and social improvements like democracy and equal human rights. Despite their physical foundations, these advancements are often contested due to collective ego. Conversely, the more firmly we believe in our metaphorical realities, the bolder we become in dismissing opposing views because they cannot be presented physically or on demand. For instance, even though scientific knowledge is still evolving and unable to explain all phenomena, the absence of physical evidence for metaphorical concepts like God or the Devil fuels ongoing disputes.

I am not taking sides but explaining that we are not fully evolved beings. When the other side can present repeatable, physical results, I will accept it with open arms. Until then, I will continue to question, as I believe in our evolutionary nature and our incomplete understanding. If someone opposes medical advancements such as blood transfusions or stem cell research, despite their proven ability to save lives, I feel compelled to address it. Those who cannot provide their own physical evidence to prove that their way saves lives should reconsider their position and utilize newly discovered knowledge.

I believe this problem stems from an imbalanced love triangle. I previously wrote a blog about this issue. This love triangle is not about romantic infidelity but rather about personal weaknesses. It goes deeper than mere passionate love overriding everything. As human beings, we must correct these personal imbalances to function well in our societies. For example, allowing passionate love to override instinctive love, as Susan Smith did when she killed her own children because her boyfriend did not want kids, is problematic. Similarly, letting universal love dictate extreme actions, such as sending money to harm a child for not following your wishes, or refusing medical intervention due to religious beliefs, can have severe consequences.

Problems often arise not from our formal education but from the political influences we grow up with, which distort our sense of identity. The roots of our issues often lie deeper, within our psyche. If these issues stem from your inner struggles, you need to explore them thoroughly to understand and address them.

Remember, if you are the CEO of your life and do not act accordingly, someone else will run your life, making you a follower rather than a decision-maker. If God intended for humans to be mere followers, we would have limitations similar to worker bees or warrior ants. However, we are designed differently, and we must challenge not only our nature but also our political influences. Without strength, we risk being entangled in feelings of irrelevance, insecurity, and low self-esteem. We might then seek validation from external sources, making our political affiliations a crutch requiring sacrifices. Rather than seeking strength within, we end up sacrificing our power for political purposes.

Interestingly, most solutions emerge when we take charge and assume responsibility for our actions. This means balancing our love and other aspects of life. For instance, you cannot leave your family because of passionate love or stay with someone because of external pressures. Nor can you sacrifice your children due to religious beliefs if modern medical help is available. You must balance universal love with practical considerations.

If you are obstructing evolution or hindering humanity’s progress, you must examine your stance. If you oppose blood transfusions due to religious beliefs while society is making scientific advancements that save lives, you should consider the logical implications. Saving lives aligns with the broader purpose of converting spirituality into physical actions for the greater good.

If you personally take charge and push humanity forward rather than holding it back, you can significantly impact the collective progress. By overcoming political affiliations related to race, nationalism, or religion, you can help humanity evolve. Historically, humanity has been plagued by political divisions, so why would we expect God to intervene? Answers will only come if you take charge of your life and dig deeper into the spiritual side, recognizing the wisdom of God as neutral.

To find God’s innocence, you must overcome political affiliations and view God as exclusively spiritual. Without human physicality, things cannot be converted into physical actions, and God cannot be blamed. Just as in a court of law, you cannot be punished for merely thinking ill of someone. As human beings, we are God’s physical hands converting spirituality into action. Despite our free will, we cannot blame God for our actions. Early indoctrination and political agendas influence us, but our strength is measured by how we use our physical presence for our groups. Overcoming political influences requires us to move beyond mere compliance and strive for true spiritual understanding.

We can either blame the Devil or recognize that we ourselves are giving physical life to the Devil. Regardless, we need personal and spiritual awareness to understand this dynamic. If our groups manage to convince us that God and the Devil are responsible for everything, we might do so to absolve ourselves of spiritual responsibilities and act in ways that align with our group’s desires. Whether you believe in God or the Devil is not the primary concern; the issue is that, with free will, you are responsible for your physical actions. If you lack self-belief, you may end up blindly adhering to whatever your group dictates. Those in power often prefer to keep us irrelevant and ignorant. Therefore, if you are a crucial part of humanity’s machinery, you must first understand yourself before you act violently in the name of your group. Begin by understanding yourself, then your political affiliations, and only then can you begin to question and understand God. Remember: prioritize understanding your physical reality before delving into metaphorical ones.

Humanity may or may not reach its full potential, but hope persists because the desire for equality and human rights is present in all societies. Observing modern problems prompts us to consider both sides of the issue. On one hand, we are embroiled in debates over personal matters like sexual orientation, abortion, and medical practices such as blood transfusions, often fueled by religious beliefs. On the other hand, we must decide whether to take charge of our lives or leave everything to divine intervention. Our politicians often use God to justify religious rules, leading us to believe that our knowledge is complete merely because it is divine. Despite thousands of years passing, we still cannot agree on God’s physical existence. We have yet to determine our personal positions in the grand scheme of life. Political affiliations have blinded us to our own relevance. Conversely, as we explore space, we continue to look for God outside ourselves, neglecting to seek God within.

Today, science, medicine, and AI are pushing boundaries, allowing us to play God ourselves. This shift can lead to atheism and damage our spiritual well-being, creating conflicts within us. Mortality is a significant issue because we are running out of time. If a coin fails to land on one side, everything becomes chaotic for us. Our mental, emotional, and physical health are interconnected with our spiritual well-being. A disjointed life can undermine our claim to a healthy existence. A religious fanatic may suffer despite access to good medicine, while a science-oriented person might miss out on spiritual experiences like love and other fulfilling aspects of life. Without compassion, love, trust, generosity, bravery, and sacrifice, a human life cannot be considered successful. An unfulfilled life, in any form, cannot be a blessing. Therefore, we must make choices and cannot remain confined to one tree of knowledge while living in a forest provided by God. Even if you are committed to scientific knowledge, it is not sufficient for a complete human life. Fulfilling all aspects of life is essential, and neglecting spiritual needs can lead to health issues without clear explanations. Without the benefits of God, love, and social connections, one may experience unhappiness. Depending on how influenced you are by political affiliations, you might resolve these issues, but you must become the CEO of your own life to piece this puzzle together.

If you find yourself leaning toward the scientific side and feeling unfulfilled or depressed, it is time to explore the other side of the coin, as time is limited. If you are inclined toward the religious side, you must take responsibility for your physical actions on Earth. Simply believing in an afterlife is not enough; your practical actions during your lifetime matter. You were sent with a purpose, and your purpose involves honest reciprocation. Relying solely on prayers may not aid those who need help. If you are swayed by passionate speeches and are willing to harm innocents, believing you are acting for your group or God, you are in serious trouble. This suggests a misguided belief that God belongs exclusively to your group and that you are obstructing God’s work. You have been granted personal autonomy to understand your responsibilities as a human. Free will and a sense of justice are meant to help you discern spiritual right from wrong. Therefore, you cannot hide behind religious leaders or political figures.

If God is losing respect in today’s world, it is not due to any fault of God but because insecure individuals have mixed their political agendas with God’s spiritual realm. Logically, you wouldn’t want to live in a society where justice is commodified, so why accept a society where religion is bought and sold? Bringing God to such a level reduces Him to a political tool, respected only by some and not by all. This loss of respect is due to those who are more political than spiritual. A peaceful society requires rules based on pure justice and spirituality, not political manipulation. Universal concepts like God, spirituality, and justice cannot be reduced to political or sectarian divides. If this idea seems unclear, remove political affiliations and see where you stand. You will find that God, spirituality, and justice are all within you.

Consider the case of Hadi Choopan, who won Mr. Olympia last year and was celebrated in Iran, despite his public choice to not cover up. Meanwhile, individuals are punished for not adhering to traditional dress codes. Politics aside, universal justice demands equal human rights, and enforcing outdated rules from the past is subjective. Societies evolve, and necessary changes must be acknowledged, whether they occur within our lifetime or not. My responsibility is to highlight these changes, not to impose them. I believe in honest reciprocation, not socialism, and feel obligated to spread awareness of this principle from both perspectives. Our current social systems must adapt to modern needs, and old rules often do not apply to a world with nearly eight billion people. Food production, land conflicts, and political belonging must shift from group affiliations to a focus on humanity as a whole. Religious perspectives must align with spiritual principles rather than political agendas. If politics are hidden behind religious rules, they are exposed as outdated and out of control.

Nowadays, you simply can’t enforce rules from the metaphorical world as if it were a physical reality. We need to distinguish between our physical realities and metaphorical ones; they cannot be treated as equal, nor should the metaphorical take precedence over the physical. In my opinion, truth and justice require physical actions to be meaningful. If you cannot make God appear on demand, it follows that, on the importance scale, the metaphorical world should operate below our physical realities, much like a hungry stomach.

Individually, we must recognize that we are the main characters in our life stories, or the CEOs of our lives, and that makes us responsible for our physical actions. This means we should respect our metaphorical world but not let it overshadow our physical world. Our beliefs should be founded on physical realities—starting with addressing a hungry stomach before contemplating God or other metaphorical matters. Personally, I prioritize physical reality over metaphorical beliefs. While I hold God, pure spirituality, and blind justice in high regard, they are susceptible to the influences of territorial, political, and financial interests of our groups. Thus, we need to critically examine them.

Looking at history, it is astonishing that God remains significant in modern societies. Despite the decline in religious credibility due to religious institutions becoming political entities, it is clear that political religions have damaged God’s reputation. They have harmed belief systems by making individuals irrelevant from the start. Spiritually, there should be no injustice. One can hold God accountable, just as one would an organization, race, gender, nation, or religion, because today, universal human rights demand it. Whether it’s a group, government, or religion, according to blind justice, all can be considered individuals. That is why we have been able to unearth injustices and bring people, races, nations, genders, religions, and individuals to justice.

If you examine religions, justice, and even medicine, it is undeniable that political and financial influences play a role. From the tale of Robin Hood to the Roman Catholic Church’s money laundering, modern-day Mormon investments, and even the discovery of money hidden in washroom walls, there are clear signs of these influences. Poverty surrounding religious institutions, whether they are mega-churches, mosques, temples, or synagogues, indicates a spiritual bankruptcy. A truly spiritual system should be practical and based on physical reality. No religion should claim that mere subservience to religious duties will secure a place in heaven. Without physical aid to the less fortunate, a religious system is not only politically motivated but spiritually ineffective.

I see birds, rodents, and even deer hit by cars while drivers often pass by without a second thought. However, pedestrians are not left to be run over repeatedly. Why is that? It’s because all traffic is driven by humans who, in some way, care about their own kind—though this care often falls short in conflicts. We can bomb our enemies and leave them to rot, showing a lack of respect for life. Our problem begins and ends with the individual who perpetuates this mindset of irrelevance. Thankfully, there are those who slow down or stop for wildlife. We debate issues like war, global warming, and vaccination—signs of a healthy, evolving humanity.

Our collective evolution is crucial because spiritual crimes committed for group interests are no longer acceptable. We must evolve individually and collectively, as individuals now have the power to challenge those who hold political power. Whether the issue is race, gender, nation, religion, or sect, if they disrespect the individual or life in general, we must remind them of spiritual rule number one: “Don’t do to anyone what you wouldn’t want done to you or your loved ones.”

Humanity has long committed atrocities for political reasons, and the death toll of these conflicts is incalculable. From ancient times to the present, we see evidence of this problem. Though the methods have changed, the underlying issues remain the same. We track and criticize mass graves and unmarked graves from residential schools, demonstrating humanity’s progress and evolution. When it comes to human life—whether related to abortion or war—we must address these issues at an individual level, taking them seriously. As God’s working hands, we must not engage in spiritual crimes. Disrespecting life for political reasons labels one as an extremist, spiritually bankrupt, and blinded by group politics. In an era of equal human rights, there is no room for bigotry, prejudice, or discrimination. Justice and spirituality must go hand in hand; they cannot be subjected to political manipulation. Humanity is leaning towards universal concepts of God, spirituality, and equal justice for all, which means reaching new heights where people are not killed in the name of religion. If God is made exclusive to certain people, it risks turning God into a politically biased entity. The question remains: Is that right?

To understand why human groups have both good and bad individuals, examine their affiliations. A spiritually strong individual will not be used for political purposes, whereas a weaker, politically susceptible individual might be. Social and spiritual crimes only occur when individuals lend their physicality to such causes.

In today’s courts, we often hear “People vs. So-and-So,” signifying that people have the power to deliver justice against the accused. The government is meant to be a governing body and, indeed, it is not a business but a service. It is a people-powered entity designed to assist its citizens. Populations typically follow the footprints of their ancestors, but as times change, we must adapt and evolve. Progress is usually driven by the innovators, not the followers.

As individuals, if you have the capacity to hold an ocean within, why would you drown in a shallow stream of political knowledge? Today’s issues are not due to the strength of our nations or religions. The modern problems of humanity are related to the weaknesses of individuals. Our political groups have not only corrupted our justice systems but also tainted our individual and collective spirituality. Consider this: God, spirituality, and humanity are universal, so should be our justice system. Why should each group have its own justice system? Why is humanity still struggling to embrace equal human rights? Why can’t top organizations like the United Nations enforce international law and order? Most importantly, why is the United Nations under a veto system? Imagine a recent vote of 153 in favor, 10 against, and 23 abstentions still failing. The Gaza war news on YouTube highlights this issue. If this is the state of our top organization, what does this say about our individual nations? The politics of belonging keep individuals weak and vulnerable, tethered to their groups regardless of right or wrong. This is my concern: we are drowning in shallow streams of knowledge due to personal insecurities.

This brings me back to human capacities. If you hold an ocean within, why the strong attachment to the limited knowledge imparted by your group? The problem isn’t with the knowledge itself but with the personal insecurities that make this knowledge significant. To utilize your ocean-like capacities, you must understand your place and what it means to be human. As a CEO, you can use your inner ocean to select, combine, and refine the knowledge you have acquired throughout your life. However, this responsibility is significant and challenging, especially if you are not a good CEO or have been politically influenced and deprived of your relevance. What is stopping you from becoming a CEO of your life? Political groups have their interests, and keeping you weak and vulnerable benefits their political agendas. Unless a group, nation, or religion begins to fall apart and people rise up, they will not change their stance. Every group—whether based on race, gender, nation, or religion—has its political agenda. Thus, the indoctrination against recognizing humanity as a whole and individual rights begins early. If you have been led to believe that you lack ocean-like capacities and do not belong to humanity as a whole, you are likely struggling with an out-of-control sense of belonging and personal insecurities. This resistance prevents you from embracing your personal ocean within.

Understanding group politics, spirituality, God, and self-capacities has always been available to you. However, if you are not seeking to know beyond your comfort zone, nothing will be revealed to assist you. Remember, God has endowed you with ocean-like capacities, which are evolving. It is now up to you to understand your true position. If personal weaknesses prevent you from even swimming in a shallow stream of knowledge, how can you discover your own personal ocean?

If you do not grasp the extent of your political affiliations’ power, how can you swim or fly in the vast ocean and space to which you have been assigned? If you struggle with swimming, it indicates inner conflict. You might envision yourself flying freely from flower to flower like a bee, yet find yourself hindered by politically imposed identities. Unlike bees, which are bound by genetic makeup, you are blessed with the capacity to be human. You lack invisible strings pulling you toward a hive, so you must figure out what keeps you anchored to a shallow stream of knowledge. If it’s not those invisible strings, then what is overriding your ability to be fully human?

It is not that complicated; you just need to learn to be human, explore, and evolve. Remember, you carry your own unique atom of autonomy, which helps you exercise free will and personal justice and makes you the CEO of your own life. If you feel internal pressure, it’s time to seek knowledge about yourself—your place in life, your individual capacities, and your role as the CEO of your years.

If you find yourself as a political puppet of a group, remember that it is your personal issue to resolve because you are blessed to be a human being, not a worker bee or a warrior ant. You are a being with your own atom of autonomy. Therefore, if you can delve within to find your ocean, do so, as you will uncover your answers from within. You are not a bee with invisible strings pulling you. If you feel suffocated in a stream of knowledge, you are struggling with your own atom of autonomy. What will you do about it? The simple answer is to become a HUMAN BEING. USE YOUR OCEAN-LIKE CAPACITIES TO OVERCOME YOUR GROUP-RELATED AND SELF-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS.

EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS, A SPIRITUAL WRENCH IN POLITICAL RELIGIONS.PART ONE.

September 22, 2023 by dancingbottle

In the UAE, casinos are challenging the conservative and religious values of the population. Religious principles are being questioned as they clash with the values of newer generations. Should other Muslim nations take note of these shifting attitudes? If we examine human history, this pattern of oscillation is nothing new; nations often shift back and forth like the wind. Consider Iran after the religious revolution—things have never been the same.

As we evolve and adapt to contemporary demands, what will happen when the world universally embraces and demands equal human rights? Religion may be among the first institutions to face challenges, as many religious doctrines insist on the superiority of believers and the inferiority of others, often portraying God as a biased and discriminatory entity.

Let’s examine the current trends. Historically, the world was dominated by computer technology, but the advent of AI is rapidly transforming everything we do. Regardless of religious beliefs, humanity is in a constant state of evolution. We cannot halt progress when younger generations wish to embrace a changing world. Humanity’s evolution stems from our awareness of mortality, driving us to create legacies that outlast us.

Groups are composed of individuals, each with their own opinions, making it impossible for all to always align perfectly. Our level of education may influence our insecurities, loyalties, or ability to question political affiliations. Religious traditions, customs, rituals, and rules are often based on metaphorical realities that are not always well understood, leading to differing opinions even within the same group. It’s common to be fervently for or against issues due to the political dynamics of belonging to specific groups.

In today’s world, just as we have always had differing opinions among religious populations, we continue to clash over beliefs that remain largely unknown. The problem is that humanity is constantly evolving, and today’s differences are often labeled as extremism, bigotry, prejudice, or discrimination. Has this issue been resolved? Not yet, because religious populations are often deeply passionate, sometimes resorting to violence in defense of their beliefs.

Consider blood transfusions—a medical advancement that has undoubtedly saved countless lives. Today, hot-button issues include abortion, homosexuality, equal human rights, and global warming, yet wars continue to ravage the world. We are determined to fragment countries, nations, and religions into smaller components while simultaneously advocating for equal human rights. Humanity faces challenges from global warming and shifting business interests, compounded by the threats of nuclear, biological weapons, and AI.

Our problems often call for unity as one humanity, but group, racial, gender, national, and religious politics frequently prevail, leading to oscillation between progress and regression. Political groups have historically exploited individuals for their own relevance. However, in today’s rapidly changing world, we must act together as a unified humanity. We have reached a level of medical advancement that includes artificial insemination, cloning, and stem cell research, yet we still argue over issues like abortion. This debate is less about medical advancements or religion and more about political interests.

God has provided us with the capacity for education and advancement, yet we resist moving forward. Can we really halt progress and evolution? History suggests we cannot, so why not be optimistic and trust in God, allowing our scientists to guide us into the future rather than restricting their progress due to fear of change or disbelief in our God-given potential for evolution?

Groups, nations, and religions will resist changes that threaten their political interests, so the responsibility falls on individuals. We must understand the weight of our individual responsibility. While political affiliations and financial interests are valid, failing to become aware of our broader responsibilities is too high a price to pay. We must embrace universal concepts like God, spirituality, and humanity to become the CEOs of our own lives. Each of us holds the key to the true power of God and humanity.

We have the power to integrate our immediate interests with the broader politics of our affiliations. If you are born as a human, you belong to humanity as a whole, not just to your specific group. You are a spiritual entity with free will and a personal sense of justice. This means addressing your desires and political affiliations responsibly. Regardless of the extent of your desires, you are always responsible for your actions. Committing social or spiritual crimes in the name of race, gender, nation, or religion is no excuse.

Our justice system would fail if we did not hold individuals accountable for their actions. If you believe that God and the Devil are responsible for everything, consider where your free will and personal sense of justice fit into this belief. How do you think God and the Devil make things happen physically? No good or bad deed becomes significant unless performed physically. Your role is crucial; without you, events remain suspended. Have you ever seen a bomb explode or a bullet fired on its own? If not, recognize your importance and the power of your free will before making choices.

If you live in this era, you are witnessing advancements such as artificial insemination, cloning, and stem cell research. We can now detect issues with mother and fetus in advance. Let experts decide on abortion, rather than turning it into a political issue. I am conflicted about abortion because I believe all human beings are living manifestations of God, and killing them seems contrary to divine will. This raises questions about extreme religious violence and the human cost of such conflicts. If abortion concerns you, consider a rule where medical professionals, rather than politicians or extremists, make decisions. Politicians should not have the final say, as their opinions can change with political winds. Today’s focus should be on equal human rights, not on letting religious leaders dictate national policies.

With thousands of religious leaders preaching bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination in the name of God, it is crucial to let doctors and scientists perform their duties, even if it conflicts with religious beliefs. We must work together as humanity to avoid catastrophic outcomes, such as nuclear warfare, driven by outdated beliefs. Our collective responsibility and free will must guide us. Critically examine your affiliations and their impact on universal values, and recognize your individual role in shaping a better future.

If you are called to awareness, what is holding you back? Is it your group affiliation, business interests, or the belief that you are merely an extension of your group? This mindset reduces you to a political puppet, which is not aligned with divine purpose. In addressing modern-day issues, you must act with individuality because we are not created to be mere worker bees or warrior ants. We are human beings, each with our own atom of autonomy that helps us stay spiritually aligned. If you deviate from this, it indicates an internal problem—meaning your choices are not truly yours but are being made for you.

Advancements are driven by the original ideas of individual thinkers or inventors. Disregarding the contributions of doctors, scientists, and other professionals can be purely political. If global warming is an issue, we should listen to scientists, not businesspeople who are concerned about their future and can influence scientific opinions. This all comes down to the individual. If we cannot or choose not to understand our personal responsibilities, we risk being bought and sold.

Our doctors and scientists are among the best humanity has to offer. If we cannot overcome the religious objections to blood transfusions, how will we move beyond outdated beliefs? If a modern individual cannot influence their group due to political reasons, change will be stifled. Today’s problems are not limited to specific groups; we face global warming, equal human rights, and internet-related political influences and crimes. Meeting the standards of today’s humanity is vastly different from even fifty years ago. Our average lifespan has more than doubled since then. Do you think this happened because we prayed more? These physical facts should prompt us to reassess our perspectives. If this doesn’t resonate with you, it’s time to step out of denial and embrace the era you are living in.

Religious extremists have historically resisted new technologies and advancements, such as blood transfusions, for political reasons rather than actual realities. Logically and spiritually, saving a human life through advancements is more aligned with divine work than any religious fanaticism. The numerous religious wars and extreme violence over history are evidence of this. When you strip individuals of their importance, self-respect, and self-esteem, you undermine their ability to regulate themselves. Thus, if we examine crime rates globally, religious nations should theoretically fare better than secular ones. If they don’t, it should be a wake-up call for their spiritual integrity.

If you refuse to understand or acknowledge these issues due to political or passionate reasons, consider them from a spiritual perspective rather than just the politics of belonging. If we assume that God is responsible for everything, we should at least research how things are done. If human beings are irrelevant, explain how all good and bad deeds are performed and for whom. It doesn’t make sense to exclude humans from this equation because actions need to be performed physically to be meaningful.

If humans provide the physicality, removing them from the equation disrupts the entire divine framework. You might argue that there is a world beyond our physical reality, but this remains in the realm of metaphorical reality, which cannot be fully understood or followed without physical evidence. Ultimately, without human physicality, neither God nor the Devil can act physically. Denying the relevance of the human individual is a political stance and, to me, a spiritual shortcoming.

What if we consider that all our progress is part of God’s will and that people who obstruct evolution are also part of this divine plan? Although this might seem contradictory, I believe every advancement follows a certain rhythm and speed of adaptation. Personally, I choose to support progress rather than hinder it, as I believe human beings are designed to evolve according to divine order. I prefer to be part of the evolutionary process rather than stand against it.

Our true purpose is to actively contribute to humanity during our lifetimes, rather than simply worship and pray for a place in heaven. No one returns to tell us what lies beyond death, and one thing is clear: God does not need anything from us other than our physical presence. If you believe that merely showing devotion without physical contribution will secure a place in heaven, reconsider. The purpose of human life is to reciprocate for the free oxygen, life-sustaining conditions, and physical abilities we are given—none of which we control. Even as a human individual, I would notice if an employee is ineffective but adept at flattery. Our physical existence is meant to merge the spiritual and physical worlds to make meaningful things happen.

A human individual holds the “physicality card,” so disregarding this fact undermines everything humanity has achieved so far. If you are like me, you will fact-check. Just observing the progress humanity has made—ranging from flying in space without wings to doubling our average lifespan, from video calls to AI, and everything in between—proves that humanity is designed to evolve.

If you accept that as a human individual, we all play a relevant role in both our spiritual and physical worlds, then we should individually contribute to combating global warming rather than accepting it as an inevitability and believing that it’s solely God’s job to save us. Certainly, we are blessed with evolutionary traits, but it is our resilience that has always been and will always be crucial to our evolution. One can cling to outdated beliefs and oppose life-saving advancements like blood transfusions, stem cell research, cloning, or other medical interventions simply due to old convictions. Alternatively, one can become passionately focused on social issues or unconditionally support scientific progress. With today’s knowledge, we should be evolving in every aspect—NOT selectively. Therefore, our motto should be to support evolution rather than hinder it. Burying our heads in the sand and hoping that global warming or related issues will resolve themselves is nothing but wishful thinking without action. Without human intervention, we would still be at the bottom of the food chain like other creatures. This progress did not occur in mosques, churches, or temples, which often stand in opposition to such advancements. The root of these problems is closely tied to our politically driven beliefs that deem the individual as insignificant. In reality, however, individuals are crucial to illuminating even the spiritual light of God. It is time to change and take charge because, first and foremost, we are not irrelevant. Secondly, individuals have played a significant role in advancing humanity, and there is much to show for it.

If a society believes individuals are irrelevant, that society will eventually suffer. For example, a previously conservative and religious society is now opening casinos to allow people to spend their money within their own country. The days of strictly conservative governance are over. As the conservative segment of the population shrinks, democratic societies will reject conservatism, and kingdoms will be toppled by the unrest of liberal populations. The struggle for equal human rights is opening closed societies, and conservative populations are fighting back with everything they have, including manipulating elections. This period of growing pains means societies will need to adapt to changing times.

In societies struggling to maintain control through force, their days are numbered because evolution is inevitable. Modern communication technologies make it impossible to hide political agendas of control, so suppressing people as we did in the past is no longer feasible. Advanced societies that preach equal human rights are now focused on individual relevance, which is showing tangible results. Personally, I believe that failing to acknowledge the contributions of individuals is to be simultaneously against spirituality and God. Logically, an individual’s physical contributions should be justified because God and spirituality both exist in the realm of “nothing but the truth.” There is no room for injustice, meaning such injustices cannot stem from them. Most, if not all, of our injustices arise from personal insecurities, political affiliations, or lack of spiritual strength.

When a scientist, doctor, or computer genius develops a theory to help humanity, these theories are put into practice and continuously explored further. Just look at our technological advancements—each year, new models of cars, planes, cell phones, and other gadgets are released with improved capabilities and functions. We acknowledge and financially reward the founders of new technologies by purchasing their products, which encourages further research and expansion of foundational ideas. Our social knowledge has its founders as well, but unfortunately, religious knowledge often discourages further exploration and demands blind belief. Those who question or explore are politically labeled as non-believers. Why are they labeled as such? If their questioning is legitimate, they should be accepted and given room in society as equals. However, if they claim their knowledge is complete and not subject to questioning, that is also problematic. As an evolving entity, our knowledge should never be capped or claimed as complete. Anyone who asserts their knowledge as ultimate and complete is likely influenced by political biases.

Today’s problem is that if we do not explore our religious knowledge, we may be left behind due to political reasons. Our prophets have left spiritual ideas to be explored further, yet the politics of group belonging prevents us from following these ideas as others do. Regardless of gender or identity, today’s youth are often overwhelmed and struggle to separate spirituality from the politics of their group affiliation. Spirituality connects us all to God, who is not political. If we connect God to any particular religion, it makes God political, which cannot be spiritual because it would imply an unjust God. For God to be truly spiritual, justice must be universal and unbiased. Otherwise, God becomes tainted with group politics.

If we are not allowed to explore our religious knowledge, what are the reasons behind it? Are these restrictions based on political motives or the fear of exposing the truth or disproving our ancestors? If everything were based solely on spirituality, there would be no limitations to our exploration. Groups that prevent individuals from exploring their religions are simply motivated by the desire to retain their relevance and political power. Unless we can distinguish between the politics of belonging and the spiritual aspects of religion, it will be challenging to change the minds of those who have fully embraced their group’s politics.

Our prophets have done their part by providing us with the spiritual aspects of our religions. However, the politics of belonging to our groups have unfortunately corrupted these spiritual systems. Now, it is up to us to explore further, not only to separate spirituality from politics but also to adapt to the ever-evolving human societies. Remember, our politics of belonging can inhibit us from exploring and straying further. However, if you are seeking spirituality, you need not worry because it is a universal truth—nothing but the truth. “One God, one humanity, one individual, and equal human rights” should be the slogan of today’s humanity. If we do not evolve according to the time and era we are born into, we risk losing not only the respect for the spiritual side of our religions but also end up with labels of bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. This can lead to personal losses and problems, especially if we cannot separate spirituality from our political affiliations.

Question, learn, and understand the reasons behind the promotion of individual irrelevance by your belonging groups. These groups are driven by politics, not spirituality. As human individuals, we are the other wire needed to light up the spiritual light bulb. We all need to become the CEOs of our own lives, rather than allowing our groups to call the shots for us. Remember, God created every human being as the CEO of their own life by giving everyone free will and a personal sense of justice. Since we all have our own atom of autonomy, we use our abilities to make choices. Good and bad can only be created physically by us due to our physical nature. If we are created as CEOs with the power of choice, it is our duty to question everything. If someone is trying to make you feel irrelevant, know that it is not God. By examining the politics of belonging, you will see the taint that has caused changes in religions. Interestingly, the number of religions is not an arbitrary figure. By becoming a CEO, you can understand the politics behind your group’s agendas. Whether you follow a religion or not, you are responsible for your physical actions and must decide what to follow or not follow. Understanding that the politics of belonging differ from your religion’s or your own spirituality will enable you to make choices without internal conflict; otherwise, you may end up contradicting your own atom of autonomy. That divine spark within can be both a blessing and a curse.

Imagine if everyone lied all the time—the value of the truth would diminish or be lost. Conversely, if no one lied, the value of the truth would also be unrecognized. Just as we value health and fear illness based on our personal experiences, we need the concept of the Devil to appreciate the concept of God or vice versa. The question is whether we have taken this to the extreme, flipping our triangle of CEO, God, and the Devil. By placing God and the Devil at the top corners of this triangle, we have relegated the individual—who creates good or bad physically—to a lower status. This irrelevance has been created by belonging groups to control human populations. Critically examining this reveals that human free will disrupts our sacred images. Politicians use politics to keep individuals feeling vulnerable and irrelevant, with low self-esteem, so they can be manipulated for political purposes. If it is a human choice to act for good or bad, then logically, until an individual chooses to act, nothing becomes a physical reality. If it is not a physical reality, it is ineffective for human beings, God, or the Devil.

If everyone believes exactly the same way or attributes everything to God and the Devil, it implies they do not need to make any efforts in life to evolve further. Remember, whether or not you believe in God, human beings come with an evolutionary set of genes, which means it is our divine order to evolve. This means we must put in effort and struggle to follow our evolutionary orders. If someone goes to the gym to build muscles while another prays in a mosque or church for bigger muscles and does not see results, it speaks for itself. This may not be as simple as it appears on the surface, leading people to extremes. There is a clear reason for human free will and the power of physicality. This is where I ask you to question yourself individually. Where do you stand? Reflect on why you believe in putting effort, such as going to the gym, versus relying on prayer. Your free will or the choices made from it can dictate how and why you do things in your life. If everything were achieved so easily, then everyone who prays would surpass those who actively work out.

If you feel unsuccessful, don’t you want to ask yourself why, especially if you’ve been told to take the easy way? Personally, I believe if an individual does not take charge of their life, someone else will. Those in charge will run the show with their political agendas. Do you really think you are a helpless human being? Ask yourself honestly if you are putting in honest efforts. Are your desires greater than your efforts? If there is an imbalance, fix it. Go to the gym if you want bigger muscles. If you prefer to go to a mosque or church, do so for the love of God. In real life, reciprocate for the gifts you have already received—life itself, oxygen, a functioning body with internal and external health, and favorable life circumstances. Remember, you have no control over the things that keep you alive. Yet, you do have the power to choose; so if smoking is harmful to your health, then stop smoking. You can pray to God for good health, but not doing your part means you have placed God on a pedestal and made yourself irrelevant.

Remember, God works with you, not for you, because as human beings, we are the other wire needed to light up the bulb of knowledge and evolution. Logically, humanity’s current state is the result of both human effort and divine influence. You do not have control over your next breath, so this light bulb only illuminates when both negative and positive wires are involved. You cannot place all the responsibility on God, nor can you claim that humans or groups of humans are doing everything. Things are not only happening but are also being physically performed.

If you believe that humans are doing everything, you might go to the gym, but if you cannot breathe on your own, you cannot achieve anything. Therefore, you must stop smoking and go to the gym as a choice and duty. If you believe you cannot do anything physical without God’s help, then you are placing God as the sole actor in your life. As I mentioned, you are one of the wires that light up the bulb making things happen physically. This raises a crucial question: why do you look down on yourself and have low self-esteem? Learn about the politics that keep you believing in your irrelevance. If the light does not work without your physical input, then you must recognize your importance and relevance.

With changing times, we are moving beyond our norms and realizing there are more trees of knowledge than our ancestors taught us. If we were born into a group of people who believed a religious tree is the only source of all knowledge, it implies that all necessary knowledge can be obtained from religion alone. To me, God has provided us with an evolving nature. No human knowledge is final for humanity. We have been blessed with a brain that evolves with everything new we learn. Therefore, the whole forest of knowledge is for our consumption, and there is no need to cling to a single tree. This applies to science as well. Limiting ourselves to singular trees does not align with our nature as evolving human beings. If we are born as humans, we are meant to evolve, as it is our divine order. Failure to do so means we are shrinking ourselves to one singular tree, which can be limiting. Since modern-day living requires knowledge from a wide range of sources, we need to shed our political skins to embrace the new possibilities and live authentically and successfully in all aspects of our lives.

Science may challenge our beliefs in God, but as mortal beings, we benefit from our belief systems. For instance, scientifically, we have not yet evolved to fully understand concepts like love, God, bravery, generosity, and sacrifice. Belief in God can provide fulfillment in areas where science falls short, as science alone is not sufficient for us who are aware of our mortality. We need to explore our emotional side to understand our belonging, as our belief systems deeply intertwine with our hormonal responses. So, am I against believing in God? Far from it. I am against the politics of belonging dictating our spiritual beliefs. I would like religion to transcend group politics, extreme rigidity, and work toward our evolution, not against it. You can believe in or embrace science wholeheartedly, but you will still be like those who cling to a religious tree. As human individuals, we hold our own exclusive atom of autonomy; we should be CEOs of our lives and use the entire forest of knowledge. By making choices, we can not only appreciate our metaphorical trees but also live a successful life, enjoying all aspects of human existence.

An extremist is an extremist, whether for science or religion. If you are solely for science, you might miss out on metaphorical realities like love and God. Conversely, a religious zealot might forego beneficial practices like blood transfusions or miss out on scientific, technological, and medical advancements. Regardless of the perspective, it is the individual who suffers from a smaller, unfulfilled, and fearful existence. Viewed through this lens, there is little difference between an atheist and a religious fanatic. One claims there is nothing beyond this life, while the other feels insignificant in the grand scheme, like the song that says, “we are but dust in the wind.” Without complete knowledge, we cannot make indisputable decisions. We do not even know everything about ourselves. Every day brings new discoveries through seeking. Claiming that our knowledge is complete is unconvincing, especially in light of the diverse and evolving world we live in.

I would argue that a partial understanding of knowledge is what makes us human. However, we do need to overcome political influences that inhibit our spiritual growth. Seeking and exploring are necessary to move beyond mere existence and strive for a fulfilling life. Our spiritual beliefs should reflect our evolving understanding of the world and our place within it.

INTERNAL CLASH AND TRUTH BASED HUMAN REALITY.

August 31, 2023 by dancingbottle

If we all come into life with our own exclusive atom of autonomy—a divine particle that allows us to exercise free will and personal sense of justice—this brings with it significant responsibilities. Life can be likened to renting a room in a multipurpose building. If an individual believes that God and the Devil are responsible for all good and bad events, they are effectively acknowledging their own irrelevance. Believing that our free will and sense of justice are secondary to the actions of divine or demonic entities is logically flawed. If we think of ourselves as irrelevant, we might blame the Devil for our wrongdoings and credit God for our successes. I want to emphasize again the importance of recognizing our atom of autonomy and its connection to free will and personal justice.

Deep down, we are aware of our own wrongdoing. If you disagree, consider that many religions claim God knows everything, including our deepest secrets. It seems as though we are spies for God, revealing our inner truths. If we offload our personal responsibilities onto God, the Devil, or our groups, we are essentially admitting that we are nothing more than political puppets. Regardless of the era in which we live, the politics of belonging often lead us to exonerate ourselves while still being backed by our groups. This oversimplifies the complex reality of being human, especially if we start to believe that we are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. As the song says, “all we are is dust in the wind.” However, I find this perspective contrary to my understanding. Humans are those who convert spiritual thoughts into physical actions, making them meaningful and relevant.

Critically examining our atom of autonomy reveals that we possess free will and a personal sense of justice. As individuals, we cannot blame the Devil for our choices, wrongdoings, or actions, nor can we credit God solely for our personal actions. If you are hiding behind God or the Devil, you might be politically brainwashed. When you believe in your own irrelevance, your group has succeeded in controlling you. This leads to a loss of self-respect and self-esteem, making you vulnerable to seeking political shelter and attachments for security, potentially leading to spiritual crimes committed in the name of your group.

Similarly, if you start to blame or credit a group of people for your individual actions, you are openly accepting that you are nothing more than a political puppet. Remember, your race, gender, nation, or religion are secondary identities; your primary identity is that of a human being—a CEO who holds an atom of autonomy. This exclusive atom of autonomy allows you to exercise free will and personal justice, placing significant responsibilities on your shoulders. It is illogical to believe that your group is responsible for everything. They rely on your physical presence to be relevant. If you claim that your group, nation, or religion is more important than you, you are indirectly admitting your own irrelevance, even though you hold the key to physical action. Without your physical involvement, your group cannot achieve its goals or maintain relevance. Just as no gun can fire or bomb explode without human action, political groups exploit individuals who believe in their own irrelevance. Hence, these groups will continuously try to maintain this belief.

What if an individual becomes the CEO of their own life, seeing through the political manipulation hidden behind group demands and preachings? What if they learn to say no to the politics of belonging? That is when a true human being emerges—someone who acknowledges their God-given atom of autonomy and takes responsibility for their actions. This individual exercises their free will and personal sense of justice. They are the main actor in making things happen physically. This atom of autonomy is unique to the individual, not to groups, nations, or religions, which rely on corrupted individuals to carry out their agendas. Ultimately, responsibility rests on the individual’s shoulders. Our actions give physical form to good and bad, making them meaningful. While natural disasters may seem beyond human control and might be attributed to God’s will, their causes are still being discovered. For now, they should be considered metaphorical realities.

In our daily lives, it is essential to understand our individual responsibilities and to evolve. Blaming or crediting groups for everything physical is as misguided as denying our humanity. If you recognize your atom of autonomy, you cannot hide behind political groups, as it is your physicality that empowers them. Personal insecurities and related actions can be destructive, not only to others but also to yourself. Thus, clinging to your group and accepting your irrelevance can lead to personal and individual problems. You cannot escape your real identity; being a human places you at the center of creating good and bad outcomes by choice. Without physical action, nothing matters, as everything becomes impotent and meaningless. Just as God remains suspended in the air without human actions to manifest spirituality, the same applies to us. If humans are removed from the holy picture, would God still matter or be respected? As I’ve said, “spirituality and physicality are intertwined; our spiritual light does not illuminate our path unless it is physically manifested.” “If there is no light in my nights, I see darkness on the other side as well.” Therefore, it is crucial for us to recognize the relevance of individual physicality, both by our groups, nations, and religions, and by ourselves.

Regardless of group, individual, race, gender, nation, or religion, we must all acknowledge the relevance of the individual human being. Our archaic political systems need to adapt to the modern demands of humanity, as it is the individual who holds the card of physicality. Without physical action, spirituality is meaningless. It’s like thinking about something but never acting on it; you simply can’t claim you’ve done a good job. If we had been evolving according to the demands of humanity, we would now be focused on equal human rights for all. Unfortunately, we have been mired in group politics since the dawn of political awareness. However, we are genetically programmed to evolve, so there is hope—unless we destroy ourselves with modern weaponry. Since that destruction requires a human individual to push the button, we should recognize the importance of our physical nature. If each of us takes personal responsibility for our actions, we might see a change. We could stop harming one another and reject the politics of belonging and personal irrelevance.

Empowering individuals to assume responsibility as the CEOs of their own lives is crucial for understanding what is at stake. If we take responsibility for our physicality, we can better grasp the concept of relevance. Since nothing has changed from the top down in thousands of years, it might be time to consider change from the bottom up. Transforming from the bottom up will not only restore individual self-respect but also enhance self-esteem. An esteemed CEO can easily reject injustice, regardless of its source. Becoming a CEO comes with responsibilities, meaning you cannot blame the building you are renting or visiting, nor can you blame your political groups, nations, or religious beliefs. This is because you are the one who holds your atom of autonomy. You may hide behind your belonging groups due to personal insecurities, but responsibility still rests on your shoulders. While your groups may exonerate you from your physical actions and encourage pride in spiritual sins and crimes against humanity, you cannot escape your atom of autonomy. It constantly reminds you of your free will and personal sense of justice.

Need proof? Look at veterans struggling with daily life after returning from war. What causes their grief and pain? Even if their actions were for their group, nation, or religion, their atom of autonomy, or spiritual side, still holds them personally responsible. Going against this inner truth can lead to feelings of being torn apart from within—a clear sign of the presence of our atom of autonomy.

Let’s delve deeper into the modern human experience. If you are driven, illogical, or unstable, you will find many others following the same path. Modern humans differ significantly from those a century ago; we fear losing control and confront the vulnerabilities of being human. We strive to control even the uncontrollable, unlike our ancestors, who accepted their vulnerabilities and believed everything was God’s will. Today, we question much more and tolerate less. We are driven to climb higher but often forget our mortal nature.

Ignoring our mortality as a factual and physical reality can lead to an imbalanced life. For instance, if you are on vacation, you wouldn’t buy new furniture to redecorate your rented room. We struggle to tolerate anything that doesn’t add up to basic truths. While balance is important, our mortal nature presents greater challenges. If you spend all night searching for a missing penny, stress and health issues are likely. Since we carry more responsibilities than we are taught, we need to become effective CEOs of our lives to put things in perspective.

Becoming the CEO of our lives while we are living is essential for creating balance. Understanding reciprocation is the second key to successful relationships, not only with others but with God and ourselves. God has granted free will equally to all, so if you are not using it, consider this. Especially if you feel stuck in a life dictated by your group or focused solely on life after death, it is you who must question your personal freedom and sense of justice.

I believe that honest reciprocation is crucial for addressing many individual health problems, beyond just the physical aspect. Communities, nations, and religions often want us to live for the group or God exclusively. Some preach heaven and hell as incentives or deterrents, while others speak of reincarnation. Along with hope, fear and greed are also instilled. Despite deep belief in these teachings, the fear of death persists. Why? It’s because these beliefs are often passed down without questioning. While hope can be valuable, knowledge about life beyond our years remains metaphorical. Our metaphorical understanding has not evolved scientifically, and no definitive proof exists beyond hope and optimism. Preachers offer little beyond what has been traditionally accepted, often reacting with anger when questioned. They do not return to show evidence of life after death or provide physical proof of their claims.

Our religious preachers demand belief in their teachings without question. Aside from man-made religious stories, they provide no further proof. If you genuinely believe in these teachings, you might experience placebo effects or benefits from meditation. Unfortunately, you might also become susceptible to imagination-based realities. Scientists may not confirm the legitimacy of placebo effects or meditative visions, so anything unprovable physically or scientifically should be considered metaphorical. The question is whether we should continue killing each other over differing opinions about metaphorical realities. We have been taught about judgment day, heaven, hell, and portraying God as a monster-like entity. Despite thousands of years of scientific progress, no physical proof has been provided. Whether life exists after death is not my argument, as I compartmentalize physical and metaphorical realities. My concern is why we kill each other over metaphorical knowledge. While we are encouraged to be good and evolved humans, arguing about life beyond faith has led us to treat individuals as animals through a carrot-and-stick philosophy. This approach has backfired.

Understanding mortality is not harmful; rather, it is beneficial for us as individuals, especially if we face life’s truth-based realities head-on. Accepting the harms and benefits of truth-based realities is often preached but remains highly personal, so the sooner we come to terms with it, the better. By living with truth-based strategies, you can reduce daily and unnecessary stress. This means you might be able to create your own solutions to combat problems from within. Today, we are scientifically linking physical diseases to stress. Even if the connections to mental, emotional, and spiritual disorders are not yet scientifically proven, they may be one day. Therefore, being spiritually healthy means believing in nothing but the truth, at least for yourself. This includes becoming aware of personal spiritual principles, such as equal human rights and belonging to humanity rather than to race, gender, nation, religion, or other groups.

While physically, a human being is born into and belongs to a group, spiritually, if we pass the genetic test, each of us belongs to humanity, not to a political group. To discover your truth-based realities, ask yourself the following questions with honesty and without political bias:

Are you born to human parents?

Do you carry your own atom of autonomy, allowing you to use your free will and personal sense of justice?

Do you have a personal sense of justice?

If your community, race, gender, nation, or religion wanted you to kill for them, would you? Why or why not?

When called upon, can you balance your sense of belonging with your sense of freedom?

Do you believe in God and the Devil? If so, where do you stand on free will and your personal sense of justice?

If you have social needs, hormonal influences, and political pressures, yet you possess a unique atom of autonomy to override these influences and instincts, would you join in harming others simply because they belong to a different group?

I don’t agree or disagree with the knowledge provided because of its political biases. Unless the results speak for themselves, I will question it. For thousands of years, religious texts like the Bible and the Quran have preached that we should be good and morally evolved individuals. Show me the results. Crime rates indicate that people in religious societies are not necessarily adhering to their holy books. Google it, and you will find that religious societies often fare poorly concerning social and spiritual crimes. Additionally, many nations, aside from a few, suffer from extreme poverty and human suffering.

Why do nations that follow religious doctrines often have higher crime rates than secular ones? People, including myself, often seek God’s help in their daily lives. So why do so many prayers seem unanswered or fail to bring prosperity to solve hunger and poverty? My issue is not with religious beliefs but with the results. Is it possible that wherever the individual is disregarded or made irrelevant—whether by politicians or by individuals themselves—trouble and problems will increase? If you disagree, look at the results. It is not about religion, divine punishment, or reward; it is about truth-based reality. Accepting the relevance of individuals and their contributions is crucial. When power is stolen or handed over to unknown entities or politicians, things will backfire unless justice is done by rewarding individuals for their genuine and meaningful contributions.

God’s work must be carried out physically to be meaningful. Thus, preaching that an individual is irrelevant can harm society in the long run. The failure of communism can also serve as an example. How can an individual be irrelevant if even God’s work cannot be done without human beings? While we are alive with God’s help, without the physical presence of individuals, spiritual knowledge cannot manifest meaningfully. If you consider the people clinging to planes leaving Afghanistan or examine the global refugee crisis, you will see that they are not just seeking prosperity or financial security but are actually seeking relevance.

So, if changes are occurring in your community, nation, or religion, address it at the individual level. Don’t blame God or the Devil exclusively. Respect the individual and acknowledge their relevance in translating spirituality into physical actions, as this is how spirituality becomes meaningful. To reduce crime rates and foster survival in communities, value your individuals and grant them the respect they deserve. This will help them develop self-respect and self-esteem to regulate themselves and keep crime rates down. Remember, you can’t have a police officer for every individual in your community. Scaring them with the threat of hell or promising rewards after death is not practical. My concerns are not about sowing doubts about life after death but about ensuring justice for individuals during their lifetime and challenging the politics of power and control.

Today’s issues include equal human rights, global warming, the internet, and AI. Racism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination have had their day. If you cling to these traditional beliefs, be prepared to be ridiculed by the modern world. Failure to evolve will leave you behind. Look around and see how the world is transforming, and notice how those who proudly hold onto racism, sexism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination are looked down upon. Today, people are flocking to nations that value them, and the contributions of individuals to those nations show that today’s most powerful countries succeed because they respect individual talents from around the world. Individual self-respect, relevance, self-esteem, and success are interconnected. If you see a decline in your community, look for the causes. You will likely find individual irrelevance.

Diverting people’s attention from real issues is called politics 101. Carrot-and-stick philosophy is designed for training animals, and I believe humans do not belong in that category. Treating human beings like animals is wrong, regardless of what religions preach. Results speak louder than words. If you believe your religion holds great knowledge, I will believe it when I see the results.

The reason I named my blog “Who Flipped My Triangle” is that I want individuals to be the CEOs of their own lives. This means choosing to be good without fear of hell or greed for heaven. If you make people believe they are irrelevant, they become puppets of their groups, and their actions, whether good or bad, are dictated by group politics. As they see themselves as irrelevant, they will not question and may even commit spiritual crimes in the name of their groups while believing they are doing good for their nations, religions, and God.

Knowledge is key. If you politically inhibit individuals from evolving and becoming the CEOs of their lives, they will stay behind and drag their groups down as well. I am advocating for personal responsibility for actions. Even if individuals commit crimes for their groups, they should recognize their own responsibility. Placing God and the Devil at the top of the triangle or using carrot-and-stick philosophy is not logically spiritual because it deprives individuals of their relevance. If we accept our irrelevance, we lose self-esteem and hide behind God and the Devil to carry out the dirty work of our groups without accepting personal responsibility. Holding an atom of autonomy means using our free will and sense of justice, making us all responsible for our actions.

One can deny it, but you can’t escape truth-based physical realities. Just look at our justice system: unless tainted by politics, if you commit a crime, you are responsible for your actions regardless of your society. If groups don’t restore the relevance of their individuals, they can’t help them take charge of their lives, including their spiritual departments. If the foundational knowledge is flawed, deeply ingrained social problems cannot be fixed. As individuals, we are the physical thread of humanity and God simultaneously. Without our presence, nothing works. Yet, we are corrupted by the politics of belonging to our groups. It is up to us to fix this by looking within to find our truth-based reality of being human. When individuals accept responsibility for their actions, social ills will be addressed from the bottom up.

Even God cannot be meaningful if good or bad does not manifest physically. Without human physical actions, all notions of good and bad remain suspended. Spiritual matters must occur physically to be helpful and meaningful. If you still do not respect the human individual, it is because you have tainted personal spirituality and flipped the triangle. Undermining the physicality and contributions of human individuals robs them of their contributions and self-esteem, making it politically motivated rather than spiritually grounded. Raising awareness of individual relevance benefits both the individual and their society. Emotionally charged by nationalism and religious beliefs but lacking self-belief creates a gap that only individual responsibility can fill. If our political or religious systems stray from spiritual principles, they should be held accountable at the individual level. To me, that is the true essence of equal human rights. Humanity has been evolving without the control of any race, nation, empire, or religious beliefs. These entities come and go, but humanity continues to stand and evolve.

Despite political resistance and wars, things have never stayed the same. Today, humanity demands equal human rights, but there are still over four thousand active religious beliefs claiming superiority and nearly two hundred nations with territorial disputes dividing the globe. Yet, as supposedly evolved beings, we still struggle with bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. The cause of our problems is not only individual insecurity but also group insecurity. We face a dual disease of individual and collective insecurity that keeps us stuck as we cling to our identities. From last names to gender, skin color, nation, and beliefs, these factors hinder progress. Insecurity cannot bring internal or external peace. We must evolve according to the time and era we are born into.

If a Japanese taxi driver turns off the meter due to a personal mistake, it reflects spiritual awareness, not religious beliefs. Every good thing begins with an individual’s spiritual awareness. It starts from the bottom up, not from the top down, like a right-side-up triangle. For the sake of spiritual principles, not from fear of hell or greed for heaven. Humans are not animals. Let’s examine our everyday lives to see what needs changing. The essence of evolution lies in elevating our principles of humanity and putting people in charge of their lives.

Before addressing the political issues, let’s start with a statement: As evolving entities, our knowledge can never remain static. We cannot choose just one particular tree of knowledge from the vast forest available to us, which includes religious, scientific, technological, medical, and other areas of human knowledge. Sticking to just one and ignoring the rest can be foolish because, as human beings, we must lead an evolved life.

Regardless of how important it is to belong, our families deserve a special place. They cared for us as children or dependents, providing love and nurture, which sets them apart. Not only for the sake of reciprocation but also logically, harming a family member in the name of political belonging indicates personal insecurities and weaknesses. Regardless of political pressures, a good leader should be able to place everything, including people, in their rightful position to make their own decisions. If a person is so brainwashed that they are willing to harm a family member to please, fit in with, impress, or gain admiration from their group, it reflects deep-seated insecurities and weaknesses. To me, this represents a severe imbalance and a significant individual and social issue. That’s why I started this blog. Not just this post, but the entire blog revolves around the ideal individual—a leader who can identify and address these imbalances and strengthen themselves to become the CEO of their own life.

Someone asked me why I named this blog “Who Flipped My Triangle.” My response is that if you blame or credit external factors for your inability to cleanse your spirituality of political influences, your perspective has been politically flipped by your group. They place God and the Devil at the top and relegate you to believe that you are insignificant in the grand scheme of life. If you believe this wholeheartedly, you risk losing your sense of human value. The political agenda is to diminish your relevance. If you can truly believe in God and recognize your spiritual self, you will be able to see the correct orientation of your triangle. No spiritual action or divine will has meaning unless it is manifested physically. As human beings, we rely on a lot of external help, but ultimately, we are the ones who make things happen physically. Being led to believe in your own irrelevance results in disrespecting and undermining your own importance. This, to me, is nothing more than the politics of human groups. The higher crime rates in religious societies are not only a sign of individuals feeling insignificant but are also a cause of religious wars. Remember, as individuals, we all have the power to end disputes, but groups may resist change because it threatens their power and control.

As evolving entities, no human knowledge—including this one—is ultimate and final. All human knowledge should be broken down into usable components that individuals can understand and apply to improve their lives. The essence of knowledge should be incorporated into our daily lives for true benefit. Just as a cleaner physical or metaphorical colon results in better health, carrying around political biases without elimination makes us politically bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory, often with a misplaced sense of pride. Unfortunately, politicians have become adept at hiding their messages to deceive and manipulate unsuspecting and gullible individuals. With new technologies like AI emerging, there is concern that matters may worsen. Our groups are political entities and will use any means necessary to advance their interests. Therefore, we must each take responsibility to evolve and put in more effort before things deteriorate further for humanity. Depending on the individual, we are susceptible to being influenced or brainwashed by cleverly and repeatedly promoted messages. Particularly for those who are emotionally vulnerable and drawn to groups for security, it’s important to remember that we are not exclusively physical or spiritual beings; our hormonal influences can also play a role in our vulnerabilities.

Historically, our political systems have exploited the vulnerabilities of individuals and their populations. These systems are designed to promote loyalty to particular groups. Guilt is heavily leveraged to discourage deviation, with harsh punishments such as shunning, social isolation, and even death penalties for treason being common. This political manipulation even extends into our so-called spiritual systems, like religions. We are not only drawn to our groups due to hormonal influences but are often coerced into belonging as well. The concept of human rights is a relatively recent development, pushing us to identify with humanity as a whole rather than just a specific group.

Interestingly, we are still in a transitional phase as humans. Regardless of our level of education or social knowledge, many of us feel torn from within. Whether due to personal insecurities, emotional attachments, or loyalty to our ancestry, some individuals willingly become tools of their groups in order to fit in, impress, or gain admiration. Instead of using our inherent autonomy and free will to live as human beings, we become political puppets. To fit in or impress our groups, we become susceptible to extreme views and fail to see the politics behind frequently promoted messages. Human conservatism, personal vulnerabilities, and emotional attachments can be deadly. Just look around at history and contemporary events.

If you follow something simply because it is frequently discussed, it can influence you through your emotional loyalties and the agendas of modern political leaders. You may be hypnotized. Therefore, it is essential to critically evaluate all external, internal, and personal influences to distill usable knowledge that benefits your life. It’s time for everyone to examine their lives with their own critical thinking. Assess and judge everything honestly, free from hormonal or political influences, to avoid being used as a political pawn. Our individual knowledge should be grounded in spiritual principles. A fulfilling mortal life should be both internally and externally successful and peaceful. You shouldn’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to yourself or your loved ones—not for your sake or for a group’s political gain. You are personally responsible for your actions.

If you focus solely on life after death and follow the politics of belonging, you may end up sacrificing your physical reality for a metaphorical one. You might trade your spirituality for political belonging, with no guarantee of a place in heaven. The era in which you were born dictates present-day trends and their demands. You must use your autonomy and sense of justice to ensure equal human rights and take responsibility for your actions. LOGICALLY, IF WE ALL BEGIN TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS AND RESIST POLITICAL MANIPULATION, IT WILL UNDERMINE THE POWER OF POLITICAL GROUPS. REMEMBER, THEY CANNOT ENGAGE IN WARS WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL ACTIONS OF THEIR MEMBERS. THE REAL POWER LIES IN THE WILLING AND EMOTIONALLY CHARGED INDIVIDUAL. WE MUST REALIZE THIS AT AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL TO BELONG TO HUMANITY RATHER THAN TO GROUPS.

Now, consider your role at the individual level. Do you see yourself as an essential part of your group’s actions, or do you believe you are merely an extension of a group, with everything happening without your personal input? IN OTHER WORDS, DO YOU INDIRECTLY BELIEVE THAT GOD AND A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE DOING EVERYTHING? If humans provide the physicality for even God’s spiritual actions, how can a group function without its individual members’ physical contributions? Political actions require living, breathing human beings to become reality. As individuals, we are the essence of all actions—good or bad. Without human physicality, actions remain suspended and ineffective. Since you are a human being with your own autonomy and are the essence of physical actions, you must take charge and become the CEO of your life. As a CEO, you are responsible for all the outcomes of your personal life and the world. While you can blame the Devil or credit God for your actions, you must first remove political biases. If you provide the physicality, you not only become important but also bear responsibility for your actions. You play a crucial role in making things happen physically. SO, YOU HOLD THE MOST IMPORTANT CARDS OF HONEST RECIPROCATION. ACKNOWLEDGING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF OUR INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUALITY.

Regarding reciprocation, remember that neither you, your cat, nor your dog can be happy with parasites living on you without giving something in return. Although God is not like a human being, if we are like cells in God’s body, we have an interdependent, reciprocal relationship with God. If each of us simply worshiped and prayed, believing that our duty was fulfilled, what would happen to God and humanity? Spiritually, it would be a disaster because our job is to work, and that work is what can be called practical prayer or honest reciprocation. We are supposed to help each other and maintain a functioning Godly world. Prayer and worship are important, but they must be accompanied by genuine, honest reciprocation. If we only take without giving, like the aforementioned parasites, it would not constitute a true, reciprocal relationship.

Always remember, one-sided relationships—whether personal, communal, or even with God—simply don’t work without reciprocation, especially in the long run. How can God be happy and proud of people if they act exclusively as takers? If the fundamentals of life, such as oxygen and a healthy, functioning body, are provided equally to all of us without personal input or control, we should be acting as God’s helpers rather than as parasites like lice, fleas, ticks, leeches, or other organisms that live on a host without benefiting the host.

Ask yourself honestly: Why do you expect everything to be done by God without your own efforts and input? Are you doing everything within your power before asking for help, or do you just want everything done for you because you feel entitled? Consider whether God has already done enough for you. You arrived with a perfectly functioning, healthy body and free oxygen, among other life-sustaining elements. Now, ask yourself why you are here and what the purpose of your life is. Logically, honest reciprocation with God makes sense because He needs your physicality to bring His spiritual world into physical reality. Your physical contributions, not just your worship and prayers, are needed by God. If you think you can simply worship and pray without reciprocation, you are just appeasing God.

If you are not appreciative and comfortable in your mortal existence, you need to delve into your own intellect. Your brain is your ocean, and you must make sense of your life. Understand the importance of honest reciprocation, as spiritual burdens stem from this lack. The business of real and spiritual life constantly calls you to learn about reciprocation so you can address your spiritual burdens without owing anything to anyone—even God—before you pass. If your parents helped you, you should help them when they can’t help themselves, because they supported you during your vulnerable times. If your husband provides for the household, he deserves respect and assistance to make his life easier. If your wife makes your life easier, acknowledge and respect the help she provides. Honest living sets you free and makes you a mini-God yourself, free from concerns about hell or heaven.

If you believe in taking without giving, simply because you have been taught or learned that more profit is good business, you need to rethink your strategy. As human beings, we are not merely physical creatures. Understanding our spiritual side is essential. This spiritual awareness can help you during your lifetime because balancing your spiritual and physical needs is crucial. Without meeting your spiritual needs, no matter how successful you become in business, your happiness and contentment may fall short. Recognizing and learning about honest reciprocation should be a fundamental part of your life. It not only adds deep happiness and contentment to your life but also frees you from fears and greed associated with afterlife knowledge. If a business mindset teaches you to take more and give less, it may be good for financial gain but can make you metaphorically akin to a louse, tick, flea, or leech. So, remember, if you look like a human being, act like one.

To understand the importance of spiritual awareness, look at history and present-day problems. Despite advancements like equal human rights, issues such as racism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination persist. We no longer have slavery, but these problems stem from a lack of individual spirituality. Imagine if everyone critically questioned and judged their groups and their politics. Wars would end, and equal human rights would prevail because, by nature, individuals belong to humanity, not to specific groups. Therefore, equal human rights make sense both spiritually and logically. Individual spirituality is crucial for deep happiness and contentment. Your spiritual side must be nurtured as well, as it plays a vital role in your well-being.

It all starts at home, as Dr. Wayne Dyer says: “Don’t rip the cocoon.” If you rip the cocoon of your child, they will not be able to fly solo, so help them, but don’t do it for them. The same applies to religions that preach women should stay at home as dependents. Such politics have limited humanity, regardless of gender, nationality, or religion. We are all God’s working hands, and limiting individuals politically limits God.

Regarding political rhetoric of power and control, group politics often has nothing to do with humanity, spirituality, or God. Consider the elimination system: food comes in raw form, and our body breaks it down into amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids for use. What is needed for proper functioning is absorbed, and the rest is eliminated as waste. This process is essential for physical health, and similarly, spiritual health requires proper elimination of waste. If you don’t eliminate spiritual waste, you may suffer from spiritual ailments, regardless of your politically influenced religious knowledge. You must eliminate political rhetoric to enjoy your life, regardless of your blessings, such as prosperity and physical health.

A physically and spiritually functioning body needs effective elimination systems. Physically, you can become ill, and the same applies to spiritual health. Bring in raw materials, but ensure that spiritual content is pure and truthful, just as our justice system should be. If our justice system is not based on truth, it is politically tainted. I have heard that many diseases start from an unhealthy colon, and I believe the same applies to spiritual health. Our spiritual knowledge should be as pure as possible, so our metaphorical spiritual nutrients are beneficial. When spiritual food is mixed with political rhetoric, it loses its value. It is your responsibility to filter out what is spiritually good for you, humanity, and God. If you only take in what is based on truth, it will benefit you not only in your afterlife but also in your current life. Believing in and using politically tainted material without proper discernment can be harmful. As an evolved and aware individual, you must recognize and address hidden political agendas in religious messages. If you don’t distill them into pure spiritual nutrients, you may end up with spiritual disorders that religious knowledge alone cannot address. You could find yourself committing spiritual wrongs, such as treating others in ways you wouldn’t want to be treated.

If you are unable to clean up the mess, your body can become sick or develop diseases. Similarly, if you can’t eliminate the unnecessary political biases that have been instilled in you, many of your spiritual problems may arise from that. These issues might even manifest as physical problems because, without questioning the politically influenced knowledge you’ve received, you cannot distinguish between your genuine spiritual duties and the politically tainted calls of belonging. If you can’t judge, eliminate, or purge your politically influenced knowledge, you may become so consumed by it that you end up harming others or being harmed yourself in the name of race, color, gender, nationality, or even unexamined religious beliefs—essentially undermining the work of God’s hands.

Just as ancient and modern individuals under political influence may become bigoted, prejudiced, or discriminatory if they don’t critically assess and judge their circumstances, you too can be programmed by your groups to adopt these negative traits. However, every human being has always been—and continues to be—granted their own atom of autonomy, which allows them to use their free will and personal sense of justice, among other divine gifts. Unfortunately, despite your ability to explore and understand things for yourself, you may still be influenced to believe that everything taught by your group is the absolute truth. While you learn what is considered good or bad, remember that these definitions are shaped by the knowledge imparted by your group. This means that group knowledge is often tainted by political biases. Consequently, despite your abilities, you may struggle to use your free will and sense of justice effectively because of your group’s influence. This can lead to everything you learn and do being politically tainted.

Even if you can perceive and feel that something is wrong, you might still avoid questioning the political aspects of belonging to a group. You end up living your life according to the knowledge you’ve received, with traditions, customs, rituals, and rules that might cause disputes, even within the same society. The question is, how do you view yourself as an individual and manage everything on your own? Do you believe in your own atom of autonomy, or do you see yourself merely as an extension of your group? Your atom of autonomy allows you to be who you truly are, a human being with a spiritual dimension ingrained within. With the ability to use free will and a personal sense of justice, each of us is responsible for our actions. Thus, all human knowledge needs to be honestly assessed for its spiritual value to benefit both ourselves and humanity.

Political knowledge often encourages us to be part of a group, which can lead to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. The consequences of this are deeply felt by individuals and humanity as a whole. Political influence can cause us to act for the benefit of a group rather than for all of humanity.

Education comes from the words and actions of those around us—parents, community, nation, and religion. When their words and actions conflict, it can be confusing, as you learn from both simultaneously. This accumulation of political biases alongside spiritually pure knowledge can make us susceptible to internal conflicts and loss of faith as we grow. If you can’t separate political biases from spiritual principles, it’s like having a malfunctioning colon, leading to internal suffering.

Remember, God has endowed you with an atom of autonomy, allowing you to use free will and personal sense of justice to make choices. This divine gift is not only about free will and justice; it also signifies your potential to grow and explore vast possibilities. Your brain, like a supercomputer, can process and analyze knowledge, separating what is useful from political rhetoric. You have the power to take in valuable knowledge and discard the rest. As the CEO of your life, you must make these decisions wisely to ensure that you utilize your spiritual and intellectual resources effectively.

For instance, if I don’t believe in the same things that others do, my focus shifts to what is important to me. This means that what matters to me becomes more significant, while what I don’t believe in becomes less important. Personally, I see spirituality and politics as two distinct entities. If I am pressured to adhere to certain traditions, customs, rituals, and rules of a particular religion, I may not be able to grasp the spiritual essence of that religious knowledge. Following practices merely because others do or because they demand it is political, not spiritual. The true essence of any religious knowledge lies in our action-based spirituality, which is universal. Political belonging has nothing to do with this. When we individually help someone in need, we feel good about ourselves because we are nurturing our spiritual side. Even a small act can have profound effects on us, creating inner peace and removing fears such as the fear of death, disease, and even the greed for heaven.

Now, ask yourself why you might feel uncomfortable in your mortal existence despite following all the traditions, customs, rituals, and rules of your religion. Ideally, you should be calm, comfortable, and content. If you are not, you need to identify the reasons behind your discomfort. Without happiness and contentment in your mortal life, whether through religion or not, you are not truly experiencing life. I refer to this as spiritual sickness stemming from our ways of living. I often discuss our atom of autonomy, which I believe connects our unhappiness and discontentment with internal conflicts. Our atom of autonomy is a powerful entity within us, constantly reminding us of our spiritual nature. Ignoring this autonomy or our spiritual side can be harmful. Politically tainted religious knowledge can contribute to individual dissatisfaction. While it might be acceptable within a group, it can lead to significant personal loss due to our mortal nature. If you cannot find happiness and contentment in your physical life, you cannot expect things to change or for God to assist you in the afterlife. I insist that the afterlife is a metaphorical reality, distinct from our physical reality.

Politics of belonging has created a world that controls individuals, irrespective of its metaphorical nature. This doesn’t mean I disbelieve in life after death, but I consider it a metaphorical reality, where proof is lacking. Hence, I view it metaphorically, meaning our physical realities are more crucial because they are where we convert our spirituality into actions to fulfill God’s work. Sacrificing your or others’ physical reality for a metaphorical world is unjust.

Spirituality and justice systems should not be mixed with politics because they must remain pure to be meaningful. They are based on principles of truth, and our atom of autonomy observes this from within. Adhering to the truth keeps us just and spiritual. When an individual loses this connection, there is a personal cost. If you seek peace of mind within politically tainted religions, you may find that your atom of autonomy calls for the truth while your group’s politics demand distorted truths. Peace cannot be achieved unless you align with pure spirituality.

If you address and separate your political biases from your personal spirituality, you can better align with universal values. Being entrenched in a group’s political system limits your potential. The question is, do you believe that God made you a political puppet or gave you a divine essence to rise above political affiliations? If you gain something positive from your religion, embrace it. However, if a religious belief demands that you commit spiritual crimes against innocents, that has nothing to do with God. If your group wants you to act in ways that you wouldn’t accept for yourself or your loved ones, you must stand firm. This has nothing to do with God or spirituality. Cleanse the political dirt from within yourself, as humanity has suffered enough from individuals’ insecurities and weaknesses. The politics of belonging have haunted humanity with death and destruction throughout history. Use your vast intellect to advocate for and uphold equal human rights. If you seek to understand spirituality, cleanse your metaphorical colon. Spiritually, there is no difference between individuals; we all need the same basic necessities—oxygen, favorable circumstances, and a physical body—provided equally by God. These same factors contribute to our life, health, suffering, and death. God has provided everything universally; it is our political dirt that creates differences. Use your individual spirituality as a remedy to heal the damage inflicted by political affiliations on your religion. Remember, the bloodiest and most inhumane acts of violence have been committed by religious extremists, all in the name of God.

From the moment you are born, everyone around you is eager to fill you with their knowledge, shaping you to be just like them. Whether it’s your parents, siblings, community, nation, or religion, they all have their political agendas, ready to wrap you up in their downloaded and installed knowledge. While there may be a genetic pull, as human individuals, we come with a built-in atom of autonomy that overrides all genetic pulls or political influences. Remember, we have the capacity to think for ourselves and make individual choices. So, it’s crucial to recognize your innate makeup before being influenced by any kind of political knowledge.

If you’re male, you may be treated differently than a female, but remember, you are born, live, and die in exactly the same way. You need to be conceived, you need a mother and father, oxygen, food, water, love, a life-sustaining body, and favorable life circumstances—without any discrimination. If you are treated differently than a female, it may depend on the era in which you were born or, in today’s time, where you were born. Things can be different for you individually from birth, regardless of what you are taught, feel, or know about yourself. Factors such as religious beliefs, color, race, gender, and nationality can influence you beyond your ability to understand your relevance or importance.

The term “politics of belonging” describes how people identify themselves with a group based on shared values, beliefs, or interests. It can also influence how people behave and interact with others who belong to the same or different groups. The politics of belonging can have positive or negative effects on individuals and societies, depending on how politically inclusive or exclusive they are.

One of the most interesting examples of the politics of belonging is found in our religions. Religion can provide a sense of meaning, purpose, and community for many people. It can also inspire them to act with compassion and generosity towards others who share their faith or are in need of help. However, religion can also be used to justify bigotry, prejudice, and even violence, oppression, or discrimination against those with different beliefs or practices. Religion can also create conflicts within families or communities when some members question or challenge the dominant norms or expectations. One might say that those who are not obedient must be shunned or punished in the name of God. Yet, logically and interestingly, by nature, we are created to evolve. So, if our nature or God calls us to break our self-imposed or group-inspired boundaries, how can that be against religious beliefs?

Another example of the politics of belonging is nationality. Nationality can give people a sense of identity, pride, and loyalty to their country. It can also motivate them to contribute to the common good and defend their rights and interests by paying taxes. However, nationality can also lead to nationalism, an extreme form of patriotism that views one’s own country as superior or more deserving than others. Nationalism can fuel hatred, intolerance, and aggression towards other countries or groups perceived as rivals or enemies. You don’t have to look far to see the problems created by the way we run our political affairs. Just look around the world. There is a marked difference between the physical globe and the political one. Sure, today we have melting pot societies, and generally, most of us want equal human rights and are receptive to the need to fight global problems as one humanity. Yet, the politics of belonging is the biggest hurdle, still at work to divide us even further. No, our political belonging to our groups is not taking us to a better place.

Interestingly, when it comes to our group politics, no matter how far back you look, it has always been tainted with some form of political belonging. In a group setting, your individual uniqueness is often not considered a priority but rather a hindrance, especially when it comes to religion and nationalism. Even our parents, as grown-ups and authority figures, are often influenced by their political belonging, regardless of right or wrong.

Even if they personally don’t consider themselves successful, they will still want you to follow their path. By doing so, you become just like them, which means you are not unique but rather an extension of your belonging group. Being an extension is akin to being a political puppet. As a spiritually aware being, this can be problematic because spirituality demands nothing but the truth, whereas politics is about twisting the truth to gain power and control within and over other groups. Everything may flow smoothly and appear fine for you individually until your politics of belonging interferes with your personal spirituality. As I mentioned, spirituality is about the truth, so there is a potential risk of spiritual regression. In today’s world, if you follow blindly, you might eventually become racist, bigoted, prejudicial, and discriminatory. Remember, your group won’t fix this; only you can address it. Your political groups and even religions would rather you be a racist than a seeker of equal human rights. If they are prejudiced, they want you to be prejudiced and take pride in being discriminatory.

Logically, if you are an autonomous individual, you are capable of using free will and a personal sense of justice. You might have differences of opinion with your parents and belonging group because you can think spiritually. Whether it’s your community, nation, or religion, if they are dictating your actions, you are not using your autonomy. This means you are not taking responsibility, which can leave you feeling internally conflicted. With the gift of autonomy, all human beings are born as CEOs of their own lives, but political influences can weaken even the strongest among us. If you are a good CEO with a strong personal sense of justice, you will find yourself in a dilemma. Your parents, community, or religion may advocate for receiving human rights but not for extending those rights to others. As a spiritually aware CEO, you will recognize that you are not being fair and are contradicting universal human rights. You will not only question what is wrong with you but also with the people around you. Simply put, the politics of belonging is at the root of all this turmoil, both internal and external.

Many people are taught to seek greater returns from their investments, often thinking of profit-based business models. However, if you are trained this way, you might view your entire life as a series of transactional deals. Consequently, you might end up treating your relationship with God as a business transaction, opting for prayers rather than practically helping someone in need. The question is, why would you follow this path without questioning it? Choosing to pray exclusively is akin to investing minimally to gain more profit. Praying and worshiping without meaningful physical outcomes is like trying to secure a place in heaven with the least investment possible. This is akin to attempting to cheat even with God. If you have a habit of seeking more profit in everything you do, you may experience inner conflicts. Remember, you are an autonomous, spiritual being who must answer to the spiritual side of yourself, which follows principles of truth. If you are told that simply worshiping and praying will secure your place in the afterlife, while those who don’t pray or belong to opposing groups are condemned regardless of their good deeds, it’s reasonable to question this. If you live by the principle of practically helping those in need, you are performing God’s work, yet are told you will go to hell. Are you kidding me or God? With this kind of political education, you’ve been taught or brainwashed to be useful to your group but useless to God. This habit of seeking profit and transactional relationships may cause your spiritual path with God to become complicated and challenging, simply because you fell victim to the politics of belonging. You, individually, are responsible for your relationship with God. You are constantly nudged from within to recognize your true morality and mortal nature. Your transactional habits may conflict with your autonomy, leading to inner turmoil, even during your lifetime.

No matter what you’ve been taught by your Mullahs, Priests, or Rabbis, remember that God, beyond your physical existence, does not need anything from you. God is self-sufficient and independent of all creation. God is the source of everything and the sustainer of all existence. God is not a business partner you can bargain with or bribe with rituals. God is not a tyrant you can appease with obedience or fear with rebellion. God is not a judge you can impress with goodness or offend with sins. God is the most merciful, compassionate, forgiving, and loving entity. Depending on your perspective, if you are trapped in political religious education, you may perceive God as unfair because politics taint our spirituality, making it difficult to see God as universally just. With spiritually universal and just knowledge, as long as you reciprocate honestly, God wants you to be happy, peaceful, prosperous, and successful in this life and the next. Always remember that you are the one who translates spirituality into physical actions that make God meaningful. If you lose your spiritual abilities and identity due to the politics of belonging to others, you lose your importance, relevance, self-respect, and even self-esteem because you become an extension of a group rather than a reflection of the divine.

As an autonomous and free-willed individual, you might have disagreements with your parents and group identity. You may feel torn between following your own choices and meeting the expectations of your community, nation, or religion. You may question why you must conform to outdated norms or values that contradict human rights or your personal beliefs. This conflict arises because you are influenced by the politics of belonging, which shapes how you relate to yourself, others, and even God. The politics of belonging is not about right or wrong, but about expectations, loyalties, and obedience. It is based on the traditions and practices of your ancestors, enforced by current leaders of your group. Consequently, you may face pressure and resistance from your parents and peers if you challenge or deviate from these politics.

The politics of belonging is a powerful force that affects your identity as a human who values relationships. It is rooted in the legacy of your ancestors, combined with the authority of current group leaders. It determines what you should think, feel, and do as a member of your community, nation, or religion. Interestingly, as we evolved from an era of alpha male leadership, we created political systems to fill the gap left by an absent God. Yet these systems still fail because the politics of belonging contradict universal and equal human rights. Today, humanity is evolving, and individual knowledge is growing. Most of the world’s population stands at a crossroads, where people may disagree with the politics of belonging to specific groups—whether related to race, gender, nation, or religion. Equal human rights challenge the politics of belonging. If you are educated and aware of equal human rights, you may choose to follow your own path and join humanity as a whole. You might value human rights and personal beliefs more than loyalty and obedience to your group. You may feel conflicted between your individuality and group identity. This is because, by God, you are an autonomous and free-willed CEO who can make your own choices without genetic strings attached. When people are taught to obey blindly, it’s to maintain order and harmony within the community, which is inherently political. However, as human individuals, we should not follow blindly without questioning the rationale and consequences of our actions. We are not genetically programmed like worker bees or warrior ants.

As I mentioned earlier, if you rely solely on prayers and worship as you are told or preached, you adopt a passive and possibly unrealistic mindset, expecting more rewards with less effort. Praying and worshiping without concrete, practical actions are akin to hoping exclusively for a place in heaven or seeking God’s favor in the afterlife while ignoring your current responsibilities in the real world. In your living years, where your work matters both to you and to God, you cannot ignore your responsibilities to translate spirituality into tangible actions.

In today’s world, if you do not question your traditional or ancestral knowledge and accept it as complete, ultimate, and unquestionable, you limit your ability to seek, learn, and evolve over time. Remember, everything humanity does requires an understanding of the wisdom of equality. However, adhering to traditional knowledge can create political problems, leading to a loss of political standing for our belonging groups. That is why humanity struggles to adopt equal human rights.

Always remember who stands in the way of equal human rights—yes, you’ve guessed it, our political religions. Yet, these systems are built on grounds that are unknown or at least difficult to verify. Despite our advanced scientific and technological knowledge, understanding God or life after death remains unclear. At the very least, we should apply commonsense logic: if you want equal human rights for yourself and your loved ones but are unwilling to extend them to others, you must abandon your sense of religious and political superiority to both give and receive equal human rights.

As I wrote in a blog titled “Cliff of Faith,” we are all born on a path shaped by the footprints of our ancestors. Regardless of the path laid out for us, we are born into it without personal choice. If we do not have a say, we rely on the installed data of our ancestry or belonging, rather than on our individual connection with God. With our politically tainted installed data, we are not only brainwashed from a young age but also influenced by our endocrinology, which reinforces these political influences. This makes independent thought and becoming the CEO of our lives increasingly difficult.

Being influenced by our physical nature and belonging politics is a widespread problem affecting us from all directions. As individuals, we face the challenging task of addressing this dilemma, which has the power to tear us apart from within, regardless of our level of education. As we become more aware of our human status, remember that as individuals, we are responsible not only for controlling our animal desires but also for managing our political influences. We are designed to be just, so we need to cultivate our non-political and spiritual side. Our individual atom of autonomy is there to help us complete this task.

If we are all exposed to a politically preached “politics of belonging” and yet carry our own personal atom of autonomy, these clashing forces can not only tear us apart individually but also collectively. You can observe how every group—whether by race, gender, nation, or religion—has increasingly splintered into smaller subgroups or sects, further dividing humanity. It’s time for us to evolve individually to effect change from the bottom up. History shows that top-down approaches have never worked for humanity, as oppression inevitably fails. So, why not shift from our old-school politics of belonging to a broader sense of belonging to humanity as a whole?

Our atom of autonomy spiritually connects us directly to our source or God. Being torn apart individually can be problematic both personally and collectively. By questioning all forms of politically influenced knowledge, you may open the doors to your personal potential and understanding. As ordinary individuals, we are influenced by hormones and bombarded by political ideologies that can overwhelm us, potentially robbing us of personal happiness and contentment. Especially as mortal beings, navigating these challenges can be difficult.

We are all blessed with our own atom of autonomy, which allows us to exercise free will and a personal sense of justice while connecting us to God. Since our genetic makeup is part of our evolutionary nature, the blame cannot be placed on God but rather on politicians who seek to control us, reducing us to mere frogs in a pond. Unlike frogs, humans have the potential to evolve, and pursuing that potential aligns with God’s order, not against it.

This unique position places humans in a class of their own. We absorb knowledge as if streams or rivers are flowing into our personal oceans. This not only reveals our abilities but also our potential from within. As we learn, we grow new neurons, demonstrating that our potential can evolve. If we are brainwashed, our importance is diminished by a few politicians. By fully believing them, we rob ourselves of self-respect and self-esteem. With low self-esteem, people are less likely to question, making them susceptible to political manipulation. Political leaders often exploit this vulnerability, leading individuals to seek strength in numbers and remain attached to their groups. Politicians use this tactic to maintain control, making people believe in their own irrelevance and even convincing them that God is on their side.

Given our capacity to accommodate and absorb diverse human knowledge, we can pick, choose, mix, and match to live our lives with more individual input. Our imagination can be remarkably active and fast, affecting us physiologically. Some of us can overcome troubles through thought alone, while others may get into real trouble due to their thinking. This is because each of us carries and can utilize our atom of autonomy. Our installed data and atom of autonomy can create internal conflicts. As humans, we can question and create new knowledge for ourselves and society, leading to the evolution of humanity through individual explorations.

However, with the ability to question and examine our knowledge without political bias, internal insecurities can make us vulnerable to becoming non-questioning followers. Unlike genetically programmed creatures like worker bees or warrior ants, humans are not bound to a predetermined path. Our political and personal insecurities can overshadow our individual responsibilities. Our politics of belonging can blind us, making us forget that we carry a divine spark within us. This lack of spiritual awareness diminishes our humanity and impedes our evolutionary progress. Unlike other creatures, God did not impose limitations on us. We must individually seek to understand our true nature and potential. Our politics of belonging is an external influence, but we are also influenced internally by our endocrinology. This double whammy of influences is challenging to counter unless we think and act like the CEOs of our lives, as God intended.

As beings endowed with autonomy, we should be able to override all influences. For example, we need to manage our animal instincts to live in a social setting and counter external influences such as political belonging. We are responsible for overcoming these influences to reach our personal and individual potential. If we remain stuck in a single stream of knowledge, we cannot question or evolve. Political stagnation hinders our ability to be truly free individuals. Just as physical inactivity causes the body to shrink, a lack of spiritual engagement leads to the shrinking of our God-given gift of autonomy.

Remember, this is the only direct and spiritual connection we have with God. If you are taught to relinquish your human identity in favor of political belonging, or if you lose your atom of autonomy by believing you are nothing more than a physical form—acting like an animal or another creature—you risk losing your individual status as a human being. Consequently, you may not only become a political puppet for others but also end up committing spiritual crimes against each other, God, and humanity simultaneously.

Interestingly, despite our levels of evolution or individual education, we remain trapped in a downward spiral because we are determined to undermine humanity as it is known. As individuals, we are politically influenced to the extent that we regularly commit crimes in the name of our belonging groups, often with pride. Our races, nations, and religions understand the stakes and are aware of the risk of losing their importance and political power over their members. Consequently, no one wants to lose their belonging individuals. This leads to a cycle of brainwashing designed to keep people insecure so they continually seek belonging. Essentially, all political groups naturally work against individual strength.

If you observe closely, it’s quite clear that our brains are like oceans—knowledge pours into them from all directions. We have the ability to mix and match information from different sources, even if they come from decades apart. Not only do we have memory, but we can also think, choose, and make decisions based on what we’ve learned. Remember, regardless of right or wrong, the less you think for yourself, the more likely you are to follow others without questioning. This tendency often stems from a sense of belonging. The question then becomes: why don’t you think for yourself as an independent human being in the present era?

You have been given your own atom of autonomy. God did not, and I repeat, did not create human beings to be like genetically programmed creatures. As Romi says, “A drop in the ocean everyone knows, an ocean in a drop rare one does.” If you hold an ocean within you, with evolving capacities, then failing to use this potential is a waste of human potential and talent. Staying stuck in a pond like a frog is not our destiny as human beings.

Certainly, you are born onto a path shaped by the footprints of your ancestors without your choice. You are raised with politically installed insecurities and influenced by internal hormones. However, you are still born as a human being with your own atom of autonomy. So, don’t undermine yourself. As Alama Iqbal says, “Why are you falling for a piece of grain like a sparrow? Keep your flight high so you can become an eagle.” Although I prefer not to compare humans to genetically programmed creatures, sometimes such comparisons are necessary to convey a message.

Let’s consider the thousands of non-connected paths created by various groups. While we are born into and belong to these groups physically, spiritually, we all belong to humanity as a whole. Just as a cell belongs to the entire body, regardless of its location, we are all part of humanity. When it comes to mortality, our groups can only offer a prayer or two. Logically, if we are mortal, we will eventually find ourselves at the edge of the cliff of faith. My blog post titled “Cliff of Faith” explores these metaphorical realities. Ultimately, mortality prevails, and we all end up facing this cliff. Our knowledge of what lies beyond individual death or the edge of the cliff is metaphorical, as no one returns to provide physical proof. Despite our efforts to unearth physical and material things for the afterlife, everything beyond death remains a matter of faith rather than certainty.

Believing in and having faith in an afterlife has its significance—it encourages us to live our lives as good people. If you live a virtuous life, that’s excellent. However, if you resort to wars and killing in the name of faith, that’s where I draw the line. For me, life without questioning everything is unacceptable because, if God created me with an evolutionary nature, I should follow that path and see where it leads. Our most important reality is our physical existence. Yet, we often destroy our physical reality in the name of metaphorical beliefs. With countless paths and explanations, humanity as a whole and God as the universal entity suffer from an autoimmune disease, even though we each have an ocean-like brain.

The most important period of our existence is during our lifetime, not beyond it. If your beliefs offer you hope and optimism, that’s great, but you cannot rob others of their physical reality in the name of your metaphorical beliefs. You don’t fully understand your metaphorical reality as you do your physical one. You wouldn’t want others to impose their beliefs on you or your loved ones. So why allow your religious or political leaders to influence you to the point where you harm others or act against your own principles? If you accept everything you’ve been taught as absolute truth, you may end up feeling torn inside, because your atom of autonomy is there to help you judge your actions.

Furthermore, as scientific advancements debunk and explain aspects of your metaphorical beliefs, it’s essential to reconcile these beliefs with physical and virtual realities. We live in an era where science and technology have advanced significantly. For instance, human sacrifice is no longer acceptable, and practices like sheep cloning are outdated. Yet, some still believe in outdated practices, such as rejecting blood transfusions, and claim that following science will lead to damnation. This does not make sense to me, as I believe we are all God’s hands, converting spirituality into physical actions.

Metaphorical and physical realities are distinct and need to be recognized as such. If our scientists and medical experts are showing us advancements based on physical reality, what do you think is more powerful to God? In my view, God is great, and our evolution makes God even greater. I know I am stepping beyond traditional religious boundaries, but if God allows us to breathe oxygen, provides favorable life conditions, and grants us functioning bodies, there is spiritual wisdom in that. Using my ocean-like brain, I am encouraged to think beyond and break free from political boundaries to align with what is good for humanity as a whole. Instead of staying confined in a pond like a frog or adhering to a specific political path, let’s strive to expand our understanding and contribute positively to the world.

What lies beyond our cliff of faith? This question has been answered in 4,200 different ways, yet we have a graveyard of 10,000 religious beliefs. This vast array of beliefs can be confusing to the average person and often results in politically infected opinions that are oceans apart. Unfortunately, this confusion is often exploited by a few elite individuals. If God has created each of us with our own atom of autonomy, why can’t we overcome and think beyond our politically charged sense of belonging? Spirituality is universal, just like God. A clear sign of this reality is that good people can be found in all human societies. So, what is our problem? Other than the politics of belonging, I can’t find any reason for the existence of 4,200 religions.

Despite thousands of years of religious traditions, we still lack physical and concrete proof of our metaphorical realities. What is holding us back? Why is there nothing standing on scientifically solid ground when it comes to our metaphorical realities? Why don’t we know what lies beyond our cliff of faith? My understanding is that human beings are a physical reality merging with spiritual or metaphorical reality, much like two electric wires. You simply can’t illuminate the bulb of knowledge with only one of them. Regardless of whether you believe in God or not, or how you view humanity in the grand scheme of life, you can’t ignore the importance of the physical reality and rely exclusively on the metaphorical one. All metaphorical realities need to manifest physically to be meaningful. For instance, spiritual thoughts mean nothing until they are acted upon physically. You can choose to be positive or negative, but you still need the other to illuminate your spiritual light. So, whether through science or religion, we all have the ability to see the differences between metaphorical and physical realities. Yet we often surrender the best aspects of being human to our political affiliations and personal insecurities, simply to fit in, impress others, or seek admiration from our groups.

Here’s another example, though it is metaphorical, to illustrate my point: Imagine God as a human body. To simplify, let’s consider the body as a whole. Scientifically, we have roughly ten trillion cells and need about one hundred trillion bacteria or foreign life forms to function. In essence, life at our individual level is extremely complex and not fully understood. If we view God as a whole human body with trillions of cells, then we are like individual cells within that body. These cells may seem insignificant, but they are crucial for the body’s overall health. For instance, cancer can start from a single cell and threaten the entire body. Now, picture two cells in the arm talking to each other. One asks the other if they believe the body exists. The response might be, “Of course not; we belong to the arm, and whatever the arm says is what we belong to.” The cells have never seen the body from the outside and lack the understanding beyond their own experiences. They feel they have been provided with life-sustaining conditions to function. However, these cells might believe they belong exclusively to the arm and may even fight against forces that protect the whole body. This lack of understanding and knowledge reflects a broader issue within humanity. Regardless of our evolution and understanding, we have essentially given an autoimmune disease to God Almighty—not because of our knowledge, but due to our lack of it. Each person believes they belong to a specific part of the body, rather than to the body as a whole. God, spirituality, and justice are universal concepts pointing towards humanity as a whole. Today’s problems, such as global warming and issues related to equal human rights, highlight our lack of knowledge. If we view ourselves as cells, we have a duty to understand our individual roles within the larger system. Ignorance of how the body functions can lead to self-destruction due to incomplete knowledge. Everything, from individuals to groups to humanity and beyond, functions in harmony. If we claim to be part of only our specific groups rather than humanity as a whole, it stems from political and partial knowledge. Don’t forget the importance of recognizing that humanity is still physically evolving.

Since the sense of being a spiritual being belongs to our personal atom of autonomy, or since we physically belong to our atom of autonomy, we don’t fully understand what this atom of autonomy is or where it came from. Logically, everything we know or discuss about ourselves is still in the process of evolution. Interestingly, we still don’t know who we truly are or why we are mortal. We place so much emphasis on the afterlife, to the point of robbing each other over it. If you believe you know everything, you are, logically, denying your evolutionary nature. If you deny this, why do we continue to learn and discover new things every day? Why hasn’t humanity been stuck in the era of religious beliefs? Despite progress, why do we continue to believe in complete knowledge? Try removing the cap of your political affiliation and see what emerges. While partial knowledge is better than none, more knowledge is always better. We need to keep seeking understanding to stop harming each other over what we don’t truly know. If some of us weren’t seeking, humanity wouldn’t be where it is today. Scientifically and technologically, we have made leaps and bounds, but socially, we remain in a limbo because we view ourselves as parts of a body rather than as part of humanity as a whole. Personally, I hope for a day—whether in my lifetime or not—when worldwide equal human rights are realized, free from political influence. If justice is bought or influenced by nations, true equality can never be achieved.

If everyone is influenced individually and collectively by their political affiliations, an individual may never fully understand their own importance. Some of us don’t even know why we have our personal atom of autonomy or where it came from. Ever wonder why humans possess free will or why we are aware of our capacity for personal justice or god-like abilities? We must question everything. Spirituality needs to be translated into physical actions to be functional and meaningful. This means that even God must manifest physically and act to be helpful and believed in. Imagine if no one ever had their prayers answered—would anyone continue to pray or worship?

If ideas appear in our imagination, where do they originate? Would they remain meaningful if they only linger in our imagination? One might wonder why some religious groups attempt to control human imagination. Why do they condemn scientific or medical discoveries? If not for political control, what could their motive be? Consider that there are still people who do not believe in blood transfusions, let alone abortion, gender selection, test-tube babies, organ transplants, stem cell research, or cloning. These advancements have undeniably saved millions of lives, yet extreme religious views have led to untold losses.

As I mentioned, if we are cells of God and we provide physicality to divine actions to make them meaningful, why should we oppose medical advancements? After all, we are aiding in God’s work. Opposition to such progress does not save lives; in fact, opposing abortion, for instance, might conceal underlying political motives. Our pursuit of life’s advancements stems from our God-given atom of autonomy. So why do some religious groups stand against it all? I might be biased, but it seems that politics, not God, is at the heart of these issues.

Logically, we are all born into our groups without choice. As we grow, we must understand more than just the politics of belonging. The simple truth is that politicians would lose their power if everyone began to ask questions. Certainly, groups need some level of politics to maintain order and protect freedoms. However, as spiritually aware individuals, we recognize that we are not merely puppets of our groups. We each possess our unique atom of autonomy, which connects us spiritually to God and physically to humanity as a whole. While we are born into our ancestral paths, what we carry within us tells a different story of belonging. Just as cells in the arm, leg, or organs might claim to belong to specific groups, the reality is that our body functions as a whole to support its cells. Belonging spiritually to God is essential, but it is equally important to belong physically to humanity as a whole. When examined logically, it becomes clear that we do not belong solely to our groups, nations, or religions; we belong to God and humanity as one. If your group claims that your path is the only true way to God or beyond the cliff, they are politicizing even God. Have you ever wondered why we lack a clear picture of life beyond our cliff of faith? First, it is because we are still evolving. Second, and most importantly, we are responsible for manifesting divine work in our lifetime. Physically translating spirituality into meaningful actions is a significant and divine task. As human beings, we should take pride in our humanity rather than merely acting as political pawns. We have a responsibility to use our intellect to live fully as human beings. If your brain can absorb vast amounts of knowledge and continue to grow, you should seek to understand more about yourself. Why settle for narrow streams of knowledge when your mind is like an ocean? Remaining confined to limited knowledge is a disservice to your potential, as your brain is capable of so much more.

As human beings, each and every one of us comes into this life without any personal decision. If someone says otherwise, they are speaking from their metaphorical, not physical, reality. Sure, we don’t just show up; there are known and unknown spiritual purposes to us. Viewing ourselves purely as creatures is different from seeing ourselves with some spiritual content. Either extreme is one-sided, providing only half of the human story or picture. Let’s remove our installed data points of view and examine what is really going on.

If you are of a certain color, gender, or race, you will see all the differences. But dig a little deeper and, as I said, remove your political affiliations, and you will see that we all need the same things to live and function. We age and die the same way. We feel happiness, sadness, and even spiritual satisfaction in the same way. Now, find me the differences that don’t relate to your installed data. What I am saying is that we all come from the same source, like a coral reef, but we can’t live like it. Despite all our knowledge and wisdom, we live without harmony because of our political affiliations.

To me, one thing is clear, just like I am alive: our personal and individual insecurities make us seek shelter in the strength of our group. Regardless of our color, gender, nation, or religious beliefs, as groups, we all become political parties. As political parties, we will lie and twist the truth to gain and stay in power. This means we will never give up that power and will work against individual strength and equal human rights. It is up to the individual to assume their CEO status. Only then will things change, because as individuals, we can be honest and spiritual. As groups, the politics of belonging overrides even spirituality. We all individually have to change to the point that we can learn to live like a coral reef, regardless of our colors.

What happens to us after we die has nothing to do with anything other than politics, so individually and personally, our focus should be on our living years. Since we all, without exception, are supposed to serve a purpose of Godly work—converting spirituality into physical actions—our atom of autonomy, or God-like abilities, has changed everything. Some of us choose to do devilish things. The reason we are blessed with our personal atom of autonomy is to choose, not because of the Devil, but to show the value of good and the curse of bad. Remember, they both have to exist to show us why we should choose good. Not only to judge ourselves but each other as well. This understanding extends beyond our political affiliations, related racism, nationalism, belief systems, or other actions. All of this happens exclusively in our living years. That is why, at the end of the day, we are all individually responsible for our actions. Spiritual awareness of being human is crucial for all of us. We literally give physical life to God, spirituality, our groups, humanity, and even the Devil to make them meaningful.

Now remember, if nothing bad happens, no one can know the importance of good, and vice versa. You can only make things happen when you are alive. So remember to reciprocate for your oxygen, functioning body, and life-sustaining circumstances. Contrary to what our religions commonly preach—that God and the Devil are responsible for our good and bad actions—I believe this is a hidden politics designed to remove human individual power. This way, people believe in their irrelevance, lose their self-respect and self-esteem, and can be used as puppets by their respective political groups. Always remember, God blessed us with our own personal atom of autonomy, so we simply can’t hide behind God or the Devil. This atom of autonomy helps us use our free will and personal sense of justice, allowing us to personally pick, choose, mix, and match our knowledge. This enables us to live our mortal life in a good and spiritually satisfied manner, fulfilling what God intended for human beings, which is entirely opposite to being an irrelevant entity.

As physical entities, we bring along our Godly particle or spiritual side from before our birth. That is why I call it an atom of autonomy. It allows human beings to use free will and their personal and individual sense of justice. As free human beings, we can choose to be compassionate, brave, generous, and loving, or the opposite. We individually have the ability to sacrifice and love or hurt others, all with a choice. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of what it takes to be a human being.

To state clearly, my motive is not to encourage someone to reject their belief system or religion. Rather, it is to help them understand the importance of their spirituality, which has been lost in the politics of belonging to their group. Separating the politics of belonging to groups from belonging to humanity, spirituality, and God is crucial. Having a different God for every group of human beings is nonsensical because it is the spirituality of the individual that keeps humanity functioning. There are good and bad people in all groups, which should make this clear. Our wars and the existence of more than four thousand religious beliefs also tell a story. Something animalistic has been going on since the beginning of our awareness.

Being a spiritual being allows us to tolerate each other as God’s people and see God in others, regardless of different colors, races, nations, and religious beliefs. Understanding this beyond the politics of belonging can help us separate our politics of belonging from universal concepts like spirituality, humanity, and God. Spirituality can be enjoyed in its pure, action-based physical form. Regardless of how many religions exist, things will always go wrong if we place our metaphorical realities above anyone’s physical realities. This means that no matter how deeply you feel or how much you have been inspired or brainwashed by your political belonging, you simply can’t be allowed to kill any human individual in the name of your race, gender, nation, belief systems, or even God. When human beings convert spirituality into physical actions, only then does a metaphorical reality take physical form. We make God a physical reality because God made us spiritual beings to begin with. So, no matter what you believe in, logically, your physical reality holds a status above all your metaphorical realities. Remember, thoughts alone do not make things happen; they must happen physically to have meaning. Just like you can’t be punished in a court of law unless you commit the crime physically.

Sure, we pray and worship things like money, metaphorical pictures or statues, and unseen entities. But in reality, it’s our good physical actions that give real meaning to our worship. God is a reality residing within us and even in the thin air, similar to our thoughts before they become a physical reality. If you need more explanation, it’s like hypnotizing someone to do good or bad things, meaning you can benefit yourself or help others simply by meditating to create a picture out of thin air. This ability to imagine is a powerful phenomenon and one of the human powers that must be understood before you harm yourself or others.

When our powerful imagination comes into play, things can even become physical. Just look at the placebo effects and meditation with broadmindedness. Both can have the power to give you physical results, yet in reality, all come from thin air. Interestingly, our imagination comes as a package, so believing in its good side is only half of the story. You can literally work against physical illnesses, or if you go to the harmful side, you can create stress-related physical illnesses, anxiety, or depression for yourself—simply from thin air. So, make things small if you don’t want them, and if you do want them, stay focused to allow them to happen, like visualization in sports.

Remember, our groups have been brainwashing us to believe our powers come from being part of a group, not the other way around. So, you simply have to become the CEO of your personal life to break those chains of irrelevance. Breaking out of the group political belonging requires individual strength, so first of all, you will have to deal with your personal insecurities. Most of the time, these insecurities are created by the politically motivated education we receive from our groups. All you have to do is start looking at yourself critically. So, you can discover who and what you really are. You are the one holding the God particle; you are not created like other genetically programmed creatures. You are created as a perfectly functioning independent entity. To boot, even God’s work does not take place without your physical input. Now look at it critically: what makes you an irrelevant entity? If the politics of belonging to your group is robbing you of your relevance and self-esteem, rethink the entire education you received growing up. Physically take charge to become what God actually meant for human beings.

If a human individual is allowed to express their physical and spiritual sides openly, without any influence of political belonging, it would create powerful human individuals. Since this goes against group agendas, individual strength is looked down upon by most groups for political purposes. So, logically, groups would oppose any kind of individual freedom. Remember, even God did not control that side of human beings, so this suppression comes from other insecure humans who think our group is our strength. Typically, this extraordinary and powerful ability of the human individual is not encouraged by our belonging groups. Whether it’s a race, nation, or religion, most human groups collectively work against these individual abilities of human beings, simply to stay in power. So, even awareness of our atom of autonomy is politically discouraged or suppressed by most, if not all, groups of people. Since encouraging individuals to think independently is not in the best interest of groups, they automatically create a gap between God and the human individual for political purposes. Yet we are like the cells of God’s physical body. Our groups actually spend a lot of energy suppressing individual freedom by extensively preaching a sense of belonging and loyalty to it. To the point that individuals themselves degrade themselves. They become like warrior ants with pride, rather than CEOs who question everything.

Every group, including our religions, tries to make their individuals believe that they are irrelevant without their group representation. So, everyone starts to believe that they don’t belong to God, or that God belongs to them, making God out of their reach. What does this mean? It produces unimportant, irrelevant, useless individuals who lack self-respect and self-esteem.

This leads to the thought: what does this do to the individual’s psyche? They lose self-respect and self-esteem and become irrelevant. Individuals in that state of mind choose to belong rather than think independently. If you make them feel this way, they will automatically lack self-esteem, especially without their groups. So, how far will they go for their belonging groups? Will they become bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory, committing spiritual crimes in the name of their belonging groups? For sure, they will commit all kinds of spiritual crimes for their religions in the name of God. The question is, why don’t we ask ourselves why we all have and come with our own personal atom of autonomy? After all, we individually use our free will all the time, so why not when it comes to our personal sense of justice? Why do we join mobs to kill innocents? Don’t we have the ability to make choices and judge? Remember, we have been preached and brainwashed to believe in our irrelevance, so we follow whatever our group orders.

To me, God and the Devil both need human physicality to be relevant. Believing in our personal irrelevance is the biggest devil in the detail, born from our political belonging to groups. Religion or not, if God and the Devil are doing everything, where does human physicality stand? Interestingly, human individuals’ personal spirituality points exactly in the opposite direction. Since the fabric of God and even the Devil is made of human individual threads, logically, removing all threads will destroy the integrity of the fabric. Remember, a weaker thread means a weaker fabric. This may seem against the logic of powerful groups, but look at history and see how many empires have fallen and how many religious beliefs have faded and disappeared. I googled to find out how many religions there are in the world. Interestingly, there are thousands of religions. At present, there are four thousand two hundred active religions. So, what is happening to those disappearing religious beliefs? There are only a handful to count on. It’s kind of obvious, humanity has been evolving. This is copied and pasted from a Google search. Not sure if I am allowed or not, but since I mentioned it was a Google search, it should be fine.

We live in a constantly evolving, scientifically and technologically advanced era, where everything is questioned, including God, religious beliefs, and faith. This questioning is vastly different from even fifty years ago, let alone thousands of years ago. Today, most people demand equal human rights above religious beliefs. This challenges the traditional preaching that one must become a better person than those with different or no beliefs. If every religion began questioning and answering without getting emotionally bent out of shape due to the politics of belonging, they would discover they are preaching bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, often connecting these with God. Things could become peaceful and livable if everyone acknowledges that beyond the cliff of faith lies our metaphorical reality.

Simply ask: How do you think God’s work gets done? Do you think God and the Devil are doing everything? If so, what place do human beings have? If God and the Devil are doing everything, why do human societies punish people for their bad actions, especially with strict and harsh punishments in religious societies?

Logically, if you cannot produce Allah, God, Khuda, Yahweh, or Ram on demand, then God is a metaphorical reality for us, much like love. You can feel God but can’t explain Him as a physical reality because we lack the comprehension. So, if you don’t really know, should you be killing someone in the name of God? Our religions have been around for thousands of years, but their knowledge about God has not evolved, unlike other human knowledge. Every day brings new discoveries in every field but religion. Is there any hope that religions will overcome the ultimate crime of killing individuals, including innocent ones? If you say yes, they will change, I ask when? If they haven’t in thousands of years, they likely won’t overcome their bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination because these have been passed down by our ancestors. The problem isn’t that God isn’t around but that our religious beliefs are tainted with the politics of belonging to our groups more than following spiritual principles. This politics is emotionally blinding, causing individuals to forget their humanity. We have lost the value of our individual atom of autonomy, which diminishes our importance, self-respect, and self-esteem. Religions notoriously make individuals feel they aren’t part of a godly world. Yet, all godly work requires human physicality to be meaningful. By killing each other, we reduce ourselves to even lower than genetically programmed creatures. Logically, as human individuals, we don’t have invisible strings of genetics, yet we still can’t see ourselves as independent entities. We stop recognizing our atom of autonomy when we sell our souls to the Devil of political belonging. Instead of being spiritual beings, we become creatures who stop evolving to reach their potential. Interestingly, regardless of religion, many of us seem stuck with our invisible strings of political belonging, which are worse than genetics-related strings. Our makeup tells a different story: we are entities who can choose to believe or not believe in God.

If you see a bee flying around the garden collecting nectar, it’s all for the hive. There are no visible strings attached, yet the bee returns to the hive without fail. Why? Genetics, you may answer. Bees are genetically designed and programmed to play their role. What about us? Are we singing the songs of our nature, or are we genetically programmed like bees? If so, we stand among creatures still stuck in the bush. Or are we above all other creatures? If you don’t think so, consider the importance of your atom of autonomy as a guideline and see where it places you. You never know, you may become a queen bee yourself. Shouldn’t we, as human individuals, override our genetics-related calls? We have been doing that to be modern-day human beings. Remember, we live in an era where following our genetics is a social crime.

Today, we have justice systems where you are responsible for your actions. If you hide behind God, the Devil, your belonging group, your religion, or even science, you may not be alone. The question is: what do you know about your existence as a human individual, not a bee or any other genetically programmed creature? Even if you hide behind science, remember that science allows no room for approximation or assumptions. You must break everything down to explain it. What makes a human being a human being goes beyond scientific knowledge. It takes much more to be happy in mortal life. Bravery, generosity, individual sense of justice, passion, compassion, politics, belonging, love, religious extremism, and even God should be scientifically explained without assumptions. Are we there yet? If not, think, why not? Put all this aside and consider this logical fact: you are and always have been an evolving entity. Your body of knowledge is and will be in a constant state of evolution unless you reach your potential. So, I hate to burst your bubble, but the claim of complete knowledge is wrong, plain and simple. If you still believe in your complete knowledge as everyone’s ancestors did, just look around to see the truth, if you can cross the lines of political belonging to collective ego.

Masses of people might ask, who are you to claim any powers? My logic is to look at the individual as a thread making up the fiber of a group. Sure, that mattered in the past, but today, our belonging no longer depends solely on emotional and chemical connections. We have evolved from our jungles and caves where we were part of the food chain. Today, we can differentiate between our emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual knowledge. We know emotions stem from thoughts or intellect, but emotions can block our intellect. So, intellectual judgments require unbiased and thoroughly thought-out explanations. If they are the truths you emotionally want them to be, you must explain them as physical realities. We cannot exist without our metaphorical realities, but they should be regarded as metaphorical to prevent confusion and allow intellect and physical truths to prevail. We discover many physical truths from imagination. Knowing that imagination is a metaphorical reality can clear some clutter. Until someone converts thoughts into physical realities, like building a real plane to fly, things don’t change much. Just like God and the Devil both need human individuals to lend them their physicality to be meaningful.

If you ask me my opinion, I will start this with a question and then an explanation. If someone says that human beings are created in God’s image, then the question should be: would you or do you buy into all that without questioning? If yes, then you can go into this explanation.

Hypothetically, think if you believe you are a cell of God’s body and belong to the arm or any other body part. Now you are wondering what is going on around you, so you ask your neighbor: do you think the body really exists? Your neighbor says, “No, I don’t know or believe in the body, but since I am part of the arm, I believe in the arm and that is it. I will do whatever the arm people say.” Now the question is, is this coming from the facts or from the politics of belonging? Not believing in God usually comes from the same knowledge that says, “I believe in God yet blindly.” If you can’t break down everything to explain scientifically, you and your computer have a lot more to learn about spirituality to be complete human beings. Am I belittling those who believe or disbelieve? No, not at all. All I am trying to explain is that our knowledge is not a done deal. Sure, our assumptions matter, but we have been proven wrong over and over about our common beliefs. We have thousands of religious beliefs and their sects, yet we still sing the same old song of differences.

If you explain to your neighbor that we automatically get oxygen, food, and water to live, who is providing favorable life circumstances? We literally don’t have any control over those circumstances. Simply, we can’t even live or survive without that external helpline. Now if you and your neighbor are confused or perplexed, it’s time to broaden your horizons to see what you have been losing or are being robbed of by your political belonging. IF YOU CAN DO THAT AND BECOME THE CEO OF YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THE ARM YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS CONNECTED TO THE BODY. THINGS ARE A LOT MORE COMPLEX THAN YOUR BELONGING GROUPS HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU TO BELIEVE. THE BODY IS MOVING THE ARM, YET YOU EMOTIONALLY FEEL AND BELIEVE IN WHATEVER YOUR BELONGING GROUP IS PREACHING TO YOU AS A PHYSICAL FACT.

Now think about the bee being pulled to the hive without any physical strings attached. Do you see the differences or not? If not, you have a problem of being brainwashed to believe in being genetically programmed. If you start to think like a human being and question, you are not going to be liked because you are questioning their political authority. Since none of you have seen the body (God) from the outside, none of you really know how everything is working.

Remember, a seed does not look like a tree, which produces billions of seeds, yet a tree is grown from the seed itself. Now the question is: what came first? Most people ask this question with the chicken and egg analogy, but I prefer seed and tree because it gives you a better picture. We have ten trillion cells of our own with a hundred trillion non-human bacteria. Now if you think I should give you a scientific explanation about how things work or started, a medical scientist can explain it better than me. I am not going to make assumptions, so you will have to take their words. But again, remember human knowledge has not been or is complete. So, not only me, but our doctors and scientists are also learning, exploring, and discovering more every day. If they are able to explain things better than me, it does not mean that they can claim their knowledge is complete. So, the question is, do we know everything? No, not without going to absurdity and nonsense related assumptions to politically use people.

For now, we are on the Earth, and Earth came from an assumed big bang. Our scientific assumption is that fourteen billion years ago, the big bang happened, and things have been expanding ever since. Remember, there are no explanations of what exploded, where it came from, or why it has been expanding. What was before fourteen billion years ago? IF WE DON’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, THAT SHOULD MEAN WE NEED TO KEEP ON LEARNING MORE INSTEAD OF MAKING ASSUMPTIONS AND BELIEVING IN THEM AS IF THEY ARE OUR PHYSICAL REALITIES. IF EVEN OUR SCIENCE IS UNABLE TO ANSWER WITHOUT ASSUMPTIONS, THEN WHY SHOULDN’T WE STAY IN THE PRESENT BECAUSE OF OUR PERSONAL MORTALITY? WE HAVE BIGGER FISH TO FRY.

IF YOU BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND FOLLOW EVERYTHING YOUR BELONGING GROUP HAS TAUGHT YOU, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT GENETICALLY PROGRAMMED BEE AND YOU. WITH INVISIBLE STRINGS ATTACHED, EVERYTHING DANCES AND SINGS THE SONG OF NATURE EXCEPT FOR THE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL, WHO CAME WITH AN ATOM OF AUTONOMY. THIS ALLOWS US TO USE FREE WILL AND CHOOSE TO DO JUSTICE EVEN AGAINST THE WILL OF OUR BELONGING GROUPS. WITH THAT POWER, WE CAN OVERRIDE POLITICS, INJUSTICE, AND EVEN OUR NATURAL DESIRES LIKE CONTROLLING OUR ACTIONS. WE CLOTHE OURSELVES, WE CONTROL OUR ANIMAL DESIRES, AND ARE ABLE TO FORGIVE. WE HAVE LAW AND ORDER TO FOLLOW IN OUR COMMUNITIES, AND WE ARE NOTHING LIKE OTHER CREATURES. IF YOUR POLITICAL BELONGING RELATED KNOWLEDGE HAS THE POWER TO MAKE YOU MOVE LIKE A GENETICALLY PROGRAMMED CREATURE, YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR CELL PHONE TO ITS FULL CAPACITY OR YOU SIMPLY ARE INFECTED WITH THE POLITICS OF BELONGING TO A GROUP INSTEAD OF HUMANITY AS A WHOLE. YOUR ABILITY TO USE YOUR OWN ATOM OF AUTONOMY HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY, SO YOU HAVE LOST YOUR LOGIC. YOU THINK AND FEEL AS YOUR BELONGING GROUP WANTS YOU TO. BE IRRELEVANT, YET LOGICALLY, WITHOUT HUMAN INDIVIDUALS, OUR TOWNS BECOME GHOST TOWNS, AND GOD AND THE DEVIL BOTH LOSE THEIR PHYSICALITY AND BECOME IMPOTENT.

Being irrelevant makes you lose your self-respect and self-esteem, making you feel insecure, so you stick with your groups for security. Yet you are the one with your personal atom of autonomy, which makes you the real McCoy or big kahuna. Even God and the Devil depend on you to get their jobs done. If you are suffering from a lack of trust in yourself or even others around you, start with trusting in what provides you oxygen, food, water, life-sustaining circumstances, and a competently working body. You can call it whatever you want; I am going to call GOD, a God. These sentences may be contradictory to you, but they make me realize and understand human importance in our holy picture we have been presented with right from the get-go. If you start to look at this picture from a wider angle, you will see you have absolutely no say in your coming or going out of your lifetime, and you can’t even take your next breath or swallow the food in your mouth if you are not permitted. Yet simultaneously, you are so important that good or bad actions can’t physically take place without your choice. So, don’t you want to trust in the help and your physicality you brought along? The help you have been receiving right from the get-go should actually teach you all about your importance, vulnerabilities, and strengths. When and if you have learned and built up that trust in external help, internally you will learn to trust in yourself, which can help in trusting others around as well. Understanding that trust actually has the power to make you live fearlessly, reducing your anxiety and stress-related energy expenditure to put quality in your daily living. One way or another, being religious or not, not trusting yourself and others around is stemming from a lack of trust in God. It’s not that you are a victim of others, but rather they are the victims of your inner demons. Lack of trust in life itself is a disease, so before blaming other people, parents, upbringing, God, and even yourself, start looking for the dead dog or dogs of your problems. The causes of your problems are not just anyone’s fault; they are related to your inability to question everything.

Let’s look at it this way: first of all, you are looking at God according to what your parents and belonging group have taught you. Second, you have bought into it wholeheartedly, believing your belonging group’s knowledge is complete. Since you are an evolving entity and time has been changing constantly, everything you have been taught can be wrong. What if that is all wrong? Remember, there is common knowledge that God is almighty, so not even a leaf on the tree can move without God’s will, and interestingly enough, you can’t breathe on your own to live either. So, it’s kind of obvious that you are going to buy into all that without questioning. Sure, we are blessed with and facilitated with life-sustaining circumstances, but what happens after that blessed breath is a whole different ball game.

It becomes a common sense game when you start to learn about your atom of autonomy. Believing in your own atom of autonomy allows you to be a human being without invisible strings. You don’t believe in God, heaven, or hell because of greed and fear but rather for the love of it all. Since you are able to use your free will, have a personal sense of justice, and can be compassionate and loving on your own without any kind of strings, it becomes common sense to take on your responsibilities in life. For example, if you want bigger muscles, you go to the gym, not to a mosque, temple, or church to pray.

If you don’t question and make sense of it all, you will stay at the same level where your belonging group wants you to be, so you can be used for their political purposes, just like a bee. If you are not created as a bee, you can’t blame God for your shortcomings. All you have to do is question, question, and question everything, including your political belonging.

Remember a simple logic: you don’t belong to an arm or a leg of the body because they themselves belong to the body. So, in actuality, you belong to the body as a whole. If you don’t question the politics of belonging before seeking to become a spiritual being, you are naturally going to mix your politics of belonging and spirituality. They don’t mix because the politics of belonging makes you become bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory. Yet, being spiritual sets you free from all these to become universal. Just like God and humanity are beyond human group politics. Spiritually, we all connect to God directly. Similarly, physically, we connect to humanity. That is why being human calls for being above and beyond those invisible genetic strings of race, gender, nation, or religion. You are more of a universal soldier connected to the body as a whole.

How important or relevant are you? That is your next spiritual level of understanding. Always remember: anything spiritual can’t be meaningful until it is physically performed. Since God’s spiritual work is dependent on the physicality of human beings, that makes them a crucial part of the holy picture. Yet our religions have been saying the human individual is an irrelevant part of the holy picture. To me, it’s brainwashing to rob individuals of their self-respect and self-esteem so they can become subservient to be used politically. You simply can’t be irrelevant regardless of what your religion says. Everything would be suspended in the air if human beings didn’t lend God their physicality. That raises a question: if no one is there to talk about it, is a haunted house haunted? You can believe in whatever you want, but I disagree when a human individual is robbed of their importance. Interestingly, human beings are not forced to do good like a bee. We choose to do good, which makes us even better than angels. While you are at it, think of angels as genetically programmed creatures like bees but in our metaphorical realities related world.

If you want to learn about yourself, your mortality alone can be enough to enlighten you spiritually. Your atom of autonomy related to your personal sense of justice teaches you not to do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones. You would not seek the approval of your belonging group if you were spiritually evolved. With that level of spiritual awareness, your group may need your approval instead. If you can use your free will at will and at any time, ask yourself what’s wrong with you when it comes to your desire to fit in or impress, especially your belonging group. If you think God created you that way, just question and seek more knowledge to understand all about your personal atom of autonomy. Remember, it does not only allow you to use your free will, but it also gives you your personal sense of justice, the ability to be compassionate, be brave, the ability to sacrifice for others or even strangers, yet be generous and loving all simultaneously.

If you are created as a human being with all these godly abilities, you owe it to yourself to know why and what actually makes you feel irrelevant and unnecessary. Acting like a puppet without questioning for your belonging group is reducing yourself to a genetically programmed creature like bees. Now let’s be honest, does your belonging group provide you oxygen, a functioning body, and favorable life circumstances? Think and think again logically. If they are just like you and are unable to help you from getting old, sick, and dying, they are not God. So if you seek spirituality, first you have to remove the politics of belonging to a group of people. It’s easy to understand that the relationship between you and your belonging group is like the relationship between a cell and a body part, not with the whole body. The relationship between a human being and God is like a cell and the body as a whole. Put two and two together to understand this easy math: a functioning body is the one that takes care of its cells, not its body parts. Sure, there are no physically visible strings attached between a human individual and God, but our atom of autonomy is a legitimate bridge to diminish those lines of separation where human political belonging can successfully be challenged.

If you are insecure, you will seek your belonging group even for spiritual purposes. Regardless of it being old and torn, you will carry them around as a security blanket like a child. If you don’t address the underlying causes of your security-related problems, you could potentially lose faith in God with every little disappointment in life. In that state of being, you will be ripe to be used politically by your belonging group. Remember, God has nothing to do with it. If your religious beliefs are free from politics, you may find spiritual satisfaction. Otherwise, even having a belief system can’t help you find those elusive feelings of security and peace. A religious belief free of any politics has the potential to help you solve this riddle of out-of-control insecurities. Direct connection to logical thinking and God can help in accepting our mortality as a physical fact of life. Remember, fearing something inevitable for each and every one of us is not logical. Insecurities are fear-based, so we end up trying to control things we don’t have control over, causing stress and related physical illnesses that actually shorten our already temporary time. A belief rich in spirituality has been, is, and will always be the foundation of a good and decently evolved human individual.

Going to wars and killing each other, even making individuals believe it’s in the name of God, is a clear sign of politics. Wherever there is politics, spirituality takes a hike from that belief system. Now, tell me about any religion that is not using the politics of belonging. In today’s time, being less evolved is a matter of shame, not pride, as is using God for political purposes. Belonging groups know that an insecure individual can be easily used in the name of God. So, they bring God into every dispute because if an individual has God as their security blanket, they will die to protect their religious beliefs—not because of their belief in God, but rather for their insecurities. Yes, I am connecting our individual insecurities with all our religious wars, or I should say political wars. It has never been about God, belief systems, or spirituality but rather about political belonging to our groups. Especially when you believe in your religion or belonging group more than yourself, you have those invisible strings attached. If you follow those strings, you are actually going against God’s will. Just think about what and who you really are. Your abilities can tell you everything clearly: you are a human individual carrying your own atom of autonomy—a God particle of abilities to be a spiritual entity yourself.

Ask yourself why God created you as a human being, not like chimps. If you believe you are not created by God, you will have to believe that you evolved from chimps. That will raise a simple question: with ninety-eight percent similar genetics, why do chimps still live in the bush? After all, with that kind of genetic match, by now, at the least, they should be making and living in mud houses. Remember, they were not given that extra two percent of the spiritual side. Those invisible strings of genetics are keeping them where they are. Sure, we were in the bush or caves as well, but being a human being is not being a chimp. Remember, as human beings, we are flying into space, breaking down genetic codes, and constantly discovering new things, simply because of our evolving nature. It’s all about what and who we are, so knowing that, we need to evolve further from where we have been. Individually, we are all directly connected to God, so our progress comes directly from God. Just like other creatures are tied up and compelled to follow their genetics, we are all connected but have been blessed with a choice. Our progress comes from being an intertwined entity. Since our connection is spiritual, our invisible spiritual strings are pulled whenever any one of us does a good deed or converts a spiritual thought into physical action. It’s all because of our atom of autonomy, which is crucial in creating that bridge where human beings cross or diminish the lines of separation between God and human beings.

If you don’t believe, you have to critically look into the politics of your belonging. Then, you have to explore God without any restrictions or political boundaries. If you still find it difficult to move beyond the politics of belonging, you simply can’t be convinced by others. If you start to think and explore God without the politics of belonging to your group, you will find a spiritual zone where you will look at yourself like a cell phone. Similar to using your cell phone, you will find more and more abilities it carries within. Even if we don’t have those invisible genetic strings attached, many of us are still stuck in all that. The reason is not that they have those strings attached but rather that they are not questioning their political belonging to their groups. They don’t believe in what God has blessed them with. Their atom of autonomy is meaningless if they are stuck with political strings attached. Since God has done the godly job, now it’s up to us individually to evolve to the point where we can use and comply with our godly blessings.

Using our free will, personal sense of justice, compassion, ability to love, and helping each other with honest reciprocation with God can help us evolve to the next level and belong to humanity as a whole. This can throw a wrench in everything we have been doing according to our ancestral knowledge of our belonging groups. God takes care of our oxygen, functioning bodies, and favorable life circumstances—all without our asking or believing in God or not. Remember, physically, we just show up without our will to enjoy our time on earth. Yet politically, we are brainwashed and taught to rob each other of that time simply because our belonging group asks us to kill each other. We are even told by our belonging groups how to believe in God and believe exactly what they say will happen after we die. To me, if you are a decently evolved human individual with your atom of autonomy, you will use your free will and personal sense of justice before listening to political rhetoric. Your spirituality-based personal sense of belonging to God and humanity says don’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones. Spiritually, we should all be able to see ourselves on the receiving end of our actions before committing them. Our evolution should help us come out of that hypnotic state of mind where we can’t think as perfectly functioning independent entities. We are responsible for our actions, even if we say we are not doing it for ourselves but for our belonging group. We are still responsible for those actions simply because we are above all those genetically programmed creatures who don’t have spiritual understanding. As human beings, we have expanded enough to use our imagination and explore virtually all departments of life.

First of all, Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best of health and happiness in every aspect of life.

I know I may sound repetitive, but I want to clarify once again that the purpose of my writing is not to encourage people to adopt any particular religious belief system. My goal is for everyone to find the spiritual essence within their religion so they can transcend its political aspects. If we do this, we can stop killing each other in the name of God. It is because we, as individuals, give life to the politics that drive groups to war. Since we have all been blessed with free will, we also have the power not to use God for political purposes. At the very least, we should refrain from tarnishing God’s name by prioritizing group politics over spirituality.

We are responsible not only for managing our personal affairs but also for caring about how our groups rob others of their peace of mind—literally. As evolved individuals, we all have the ability to think and take responsibility for our actions, even if those actions are influenced by politics or our own instincts. As human beings, we are still individually responsible for the consequences of our actions. I believe in the universality of human knowledge—like one God, blind justice for everyone, and spirituality that transcends all religious beliefs. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on our individual shoulders. Period.

If everyone were able to rise above group loyalties, we would find the peace that humanity has longed for over thousands of years.

My writings are meant for those who have blindly bought into a philosophy of “carrot and stick” and have sold their individual souls to the groups they belong to. Remember, God blessed each and every one of us with our own exclusive atom of autonomy. If you believe you have become a better human being simply because you follow a certain religious belief or were born into a particular race, color, gender, or nation, you are wrong. Period. Especially in today’s era, if you hold such beliefs, you are automatically becoming a bigot, prejudiced, and discriminatory. These labels are far from flattering.

We all must earn our place by taking charge of our actions during our lifetimes. We must understand the responsibilities that come with being human. This includes reciprocity—the understanding that every action has an impact. Being born into a particular race, nation, or religion does not make anyone superior. It is our actions, and how we nurture our spiritual side, that define us as evolved human beings.

Race, color, gender, nation, or belief system does not dictate superiority because we are all born the same way. We all need oxygen, food, and love to survive and thrive. We all grow old, get sick, and die in the same manner. We are hurt by the same things. So, while our physical appearances may differ, spiritually, we all experience life, pain, and joy in similar ways.

If you have bought into the politics of your group’s superiority, you must reconnect with your atom of autonomy. Politics may convince you that you are better than others, but if you strip away those beliefs, you will find that not only are you liberated from politics, but you will also be spiritually enlightened. You will discover that you came into this life with all the tools you need. With your atom of autonomy, you have the ability to use your free will and your sense of justice simultaneously.

You may find this repeated throughout my blog, but it must be said: If you can envision yourself on the receiving end of your actions and you don’t like what you see, it’s a spiritual crime. You should not do to others what you wouldn’t want done to you or your loved ones. If your actions harm someone because of your group’s education, yet you possess free will and a sense of justice, as an evolved human being, you are to blame—not your education or your group. This is because we all have the ability to question everything we’ve been taught. Remember, we are genetically human beings, not worker bees or warrior ants.

One of the major challenges humans face is the preached politics of belonging to a group instead of belonging to humanity as a whole. Our ingrained knowledge from a young age forms the foundation of prejudice and discrimination, and every group is guilty of this form of brainwashing. As we grow and develop free will and a personal sense of justice, we begin to see the discrepancies between political and spiritual teachings. Physically, mentally, and spiritually removing ourselves from the politics of limited group identity to embrace the entirety of humanity and God becomes a personal and individual duty.

Choosing to take control of your life will set you on the path to becoming a spiritually aware and responsible human being. With those responsibilities, we will understand the universality of God, the physicality of humanity, and the spiritual system that governs it all. Humanity will never escape the politics of prejudice and discrimination until the constitutions of the world prioritize human physical realities over metaphorical ones. No matter how much you want to elevate God and your group above everything else, you must learn the difference between physical and metaphorical realities.

Metaphorical realities are called that because they are not fully understood in the same way we understand physical realities. Metaphorical realities cannot be proven with repeatable results. Therefore, our justice systems must be built on solid, physical foundations. Remember, our elected leaders are reflections of our societies. If they lie for political purposes and still get elected, society must question itself. If people believe in lies, they deserve the leaders they get. Logically, if you remove spiritual principles from your governing system, your justice system loses its meaning.

When an individual is under the influence of group politics, their loyalties can fluctuate based on their emotional state. They cannot comprehend or reason with truth and justice because their spiritual principles are not guiding them. Their political leaders have created an altered version of truth for them.

Interestingly, we have nearly two hundred nations with conflicting populations and thousands of religions, each with their own exclusive justice systems. Yet, real justice should be like spirituality and the concept of one God — it must be universal. If justice is exclusive to a certain group of people, it simply can’t be universal; it becomes tainted by the politics of belonging. Spiritual principles, like equal human rights, can only be realized when we, both individually and collectively, become spiritually aware. If you belong wholeheartedly to humanity rather than to any particular group, you will be able to see how human beings and even God are manipulated for political purposes.

Unfortunately, in today’s world, whether it’s religion or a nation, these are all political entities that continue to serve the same old political interests of their respective groups. We must leave behind the politics of our past because we live in an era not only of equal human rights but one in which we have become progressively more dangerous with our weaponry. The old ways of political belonging did not, and do not, benefit humanity as a whole. Religion and other forms of political identity have already taken a devastating toll on humanity. We can’t even begin to count the death toll caused by political and religious conflicts.

If we each consider ourselves spiritually aware, we should be honest, unbiased, independent, and strong. Remember, individually, we are entities in a class of our own, working from the bottom up instead of the top down. This means that we are above the worker bees, warrior ants, or other creatures that operate based on genetic commands. We, as humans, possess our own imagination, the ability to think independently, a personal sense of justice, and free will. We can judge, love, and be compassionate all at once, guided by the inner callings of our own hearts. As independent and honest beings, we have the ability to filter out all kinds of hidden political agendas, even those related to our genetic predispositions or instincts.

We can make sense of spiritual truths as individuals. Always remember, the politics of belonging to groups prevents us from reaching real truth, justice, spirituality, and even God. It distorts everything into politically tainted truths, leading to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. It is not the group but rather the individual who becomes a bigot, prejudiced, or discriminatory. As independent and responsible entities, we must seek out the truth and discover the real meaning of being human.

I consider myself a genuine proponent of equal human rights and have no political interests beyond advocating for equality and justice above religious beliefs. I feel compelled to explain why I am so passionate about the idea that the politics of belonging to our respective groups is one of the primary causes of individual and social ills. I believe that understanding the authority of our spiritual side is crucial. Even though religions often begin where human logic fails, as modern human beings, we should seek what makes logical sense before blindly diving into metaphorical realities.

When it comes to groups — whether they are gangs, communities, nations, or religions — we should ask, “How do they work, and what holds them together?” To me, they are like fabric made of threads. If you pull out one or two threads, the fabric remains intact. But if you keep pulling threads, the entire fabric will eventually lose its integrity and disintegrate. Races, nations, religions, and even the concept of God are dependent on living, breathing human beings to maintain their integrity and perform physical actions. Logically, if you remove all human beings from the picture, like pulling threads, everything falls apart. Some might argue that there is a world beyond death, but have you ever seen what happened to the treasures of the Egyptian Pharaohs? According to belief, God may continue after we die, but that’s after death, and no one really knows the physicality of that world. Religions preach about it, but we don’t come back after we die. Sure, there are beliefs in reincarnation, heaven, and hell, but since these are metaphorical and can’t be proven like the physical facts of life, we should at least place them beneath our physical, scientifically repeatable realities.

If you start to believe in the physicality of everything that happens after death, you can believe whatever you want. But when it comes to depriving someone of their physical reality based on your metaphorical beliefs, that is not spiritual. You wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of such actions. If you don’t accept the responsibilities of being human, you must physically explain and defend your beliefs. Because that world naturally belongs to the metaphorical realm, no one can provide repeatable facts. I wouldn’t even want to engage in an argument about that world because arguing over what is unclear is based on assumptions, and assumptions, whether for or against, lead nowhere. Logically and physically, no one comes back to tell us the real story of what happens after we die.

Every group of people has its ancestral footprints and related stories, which they follow because of a sense of belonging. They are politically pressured to remain loyal to whatever they’ve been taught. But in the present era, things are changing quickly because the world has become a global village, a melting pot of human knowledge.

As spiritually aware individuals, we are often willing to give if we receive those equal human rights. This might hold true at the individual level, but within groups, it’s a different game entirely. When politics gets involved, things get murky — even in our religious beliefs. When a group feels threatened by losing power, it may create chaos or, at the very least, find itself in a political bind. Logically speaking, the individual thread holds the fabric together. If things start to unravel at the individual level, groups can create distractions, reigniting old disputes or wars with other groups to renew loyalty among their members. Again, this is purely political.

Religions and nations are upheld by the physical efforts of their individuals. Yet, they often make individuals feel irrelevant. To see the true, logical strength of a group, try removing the physical presence of human individuals and observe what happens to our gangs, communities, nations, religions, and even God and the Devil. If nothing gets done physically, they cease to have meaning. In other words, if you pull out all the threads, the fabric — in this case, our group, nation, religion, or even God and the Devil — will collapse. If you don’t give credit where it’s due, that’s not spiritual — it’s political. Blaming the Devil or crediting God for human actions reeks of politics. Just look at who benefits — you will find it’s a group of people, not an individual, God, or the Devil. It’s all politically arranged so human groups can evade responsibility for the bad things they do to each other.

Don’t forget that, as human beings, we all carry our own atom of autonomy, which allows us to use our free will to make choices. Now look at how nations and religions have treated their individuals. They put God and the Devil at the top of the triangle, making the individual seem irrelevant. Equal human rights bring the individual to the forefront and put things in a spiritual perspective. This is why some conservative societies cling to bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination, even as modern humanity points toward equal human rights as the solution to these problems. If you work against equal human rights, you’re doing so for your group’s political purposes. Remember, your spiritual side makes you aware that you have your own sense of justice. So, don’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to you or your loved ones.

Sure, we need politics, but robbing individuals in the name of religion and God is absurd. This political game has been played for far too long, and it’s time to change it from the bottom up. We need to evolve beyond our sense of belonging so that humanity can take the next step in its evolution — where individuals are responsible enough not to be used as worker bees or warrior ants by their groups. A human individual cannot be irrelevant because believing otherwise strips them of self-respect and self-esteem. When you lose self-esteem, you become ripe for political manipulation. That is why our races, nations, and religions have been able to use individuals and even God for political purposes.

Whether you’re a racist, nationalist, gender-biased, or religious extremist, we are all human beings. And as human beings, we cannot be proud of behaving like worker bees or warrior ants because they are not as evolved as we are. We have the power to make decisions because we carry our own atom of autonomy, which allows us to use our free will and exercise our personal sense of justice. Tremendous responsibilities rest on our individual shoulders. Look at the education provided by our groups and see how we are taught to believe and behave. We are compared to bees, ants, lions, and eagles based on our actions. But if you think about those who take and never give back, a human being can become like a parasite — and take pride in it. Remember, this kind of pride is instilled in us by our groups for political purposes. If we let it dictate our behavior, we are not following what God intended for us. Ask yourself, why do you act according to the desires of your group when God has blessed you with your own atom of autonomy, which allows you to judge and filter out the politics of others?

As the CEO of your life, you have the power to challenge everything you are taught. You must be aware of who you truly are. As a human being, you are designed to be a CEO with many responsibilities. This means you are responsible not only for your actions but for their consequences. Unlike other creatures, we cannot hide behind our nature, God, the Devil, or our groups. Our atom of autonomy resides within us, allowing us to judge and reward or punish ourselves. In other words, you can’t cheat yourself, but as human beings, we still try.

If you don’t understand something, you cannot place it as the foundation of any governing or political system, especially within a justice system. A concept as spiritual as justice should transcend human emotions or our emotionally charged, metaphorical realities. Some may argue that God should be above all physical matters based on their beliefs, but remember: if you cannot explain God or God does not manifest when called upon, this presents a significant problem—especially in a courtroom.

The laws and systems of governance, including those related to religious beliefs, are—at their core—created for the individual. Whether to control, help, or protect, they become a necessity but still operate as political systems. This is why political governments and spiritual beliefs should remain separate, to ensure that our constitutions and justice systems rest on solid foundations, free from spiritual ambiguity. If any system is influenced by the politics of belonging, then logically, it serves some but not all human beings equally. Therefore, it cannot come from God, blind justice, or universal spirituality. Any political system influenced by the politics of belonging is separate from spirituality and should not be confused with it.

Should we allow the politics of belonging to our groups to overshadow the importance of our physical realities in the name of metaphorical ones? Of course not. This political taint renders the individual irrelevant, allowing the group to maintain power. Right or wrong is not the question here—if politics influences a system, it is not divine or spiritual and should never be preached as such. When politics dominates individuals or communities, spirituality is often sidelined. Each of us grows up under some degree of political misinformation and its related influences, making questioning our groups more challenging. However, in today’s societies, this has changed. The growing popularity of equal human rights has ushered in a new era, one that promotes our belonging to humanity rather than our groups. This shift is new and more acceptable to individuals unless they have been brainwashed to think otherwise, like worker bees or warrior ants. The spiritual awareness of give and take is playing a crucial role in modern individual rights.

For the first time, individuals are asserting their relevance, even standing against governments and religions. Individuals are becoming CEOs of their lives. Questioning authority is no longer out of reach, causing panic among those in power. With internet access, ordinary people are more aware of global happenings and how others live. This awareness is prompting people to question everything—not only the politics of belonging but also the power of groups, nations, and religions. Today, except for a few, most people understand how political influences work in reality. Remember, assumptions don’t work well in the real world. Films like Avatar or Harry Potter are made for entertainment, not as realities to believe in. In today’s societies, law and justice are based on clearly defined, physical realities. These systems must remain free from political influence.

For instance, if you are born a human, you belong to humanity as a whole. You cannot be categorized as a cat or dog. All of your installed identities—your name, race, gender, education, nationality, religion—are layers added to your core identity. These are already numerous layers. Can you find the human being buried deep inside? If you cannot, you risk becoming prejudiced, discriminatory, or even extremist.

Our metaphorical world is a separate story. Instead of relying on politically influenced religious knowledge, we should focus on our spirituality. Our belief systems should not manipulate individuals to conform to group demands, especially when choosing between logical, physical realities and metaphorical ones. You cannot justify killing an individual over something you believe but cannot explain. No one should override someone’s physical reality with their metaphorical one. Spiritual beliefs must not be used as political tools to control individuals.

If you are seeking help, believe in God spiritually, not politically. Remember, today is not the time to enforce beliefs on others, especially if you cannot explain them yourself. If you believe that the knowledge of your ancestors is the ultimate truth and that everyone else is wrong, today that is called bigotry. The world has moved on to embrace equal human rights, and outdated beliefs are no longer universally accepted. On the other hand, if you struggle to believe that God is responsible for everything, consider this: can you explain your breath, the complex functioning of your body, or favorable life circumstances? Are you in control of everything? If so, why the anxiety, insecurity, discontent, and unhappiness? Where did things go wrong for you?

The problem is that we are often politically persuaded and can even personally believe in extremes. Yet, when facing problems in life, we should look within to discover who we really are. Don’t view your installed identities as ultimate truth. Instead, seek to understand why you are the way you are. Why do you possess your own “atom of autonomy”? Why do you have free will, the ability to make choices, and the capacity to learn and evolve? Unlike genetically programmed creatures, humans can think individually, use imagination, and even be like queen bees themselves. Where does your compassion and love come from? Is it truly taught by your group? If so, why all the killing?

If we are evolving beings, what we do not know now will become clear as we evolve further. But killing each other over imaginary assumptions is not the responsibility of political groups—it is the responsibility of the individual. A group cannot commit atrocities unless its members participate. Therefore, it is our individual responsibility to clear away hormonal and political clutter because we carry our own atoms of autonomy. Looking back at history, we can see how far we’ve come. The responsibilities of the modern individual now surpass the boundaries created by belonging to a group.

Since politics is the game of group belonging, it does not care about the suffering of individuals. We will not stop the killing unless we, as individuals, take responsibility for our actions. Remember, groups are in it for political power—just look at the weapons of mass destruction, constant killings, and wars. We should individually question the politics of group belonging, especially when it involves metaphorical realities.

If you’ve been suffering personally or collectively, don’t you want to know why? Consider this: if you go to court, there are rules to follow. These are different from our morals and ethics, which are based on metaphorical realities. Trying to enforce moral beliefs as laws leads to problems, especially when someone questions God’s existence and God does not appear in court. Our justice system must remain separate because it relies on clearly defined legal boundaries, while morals and ethics are personal and cannot be enforced as laws.

If you cannot understand this, try removing the blindfold of political belonging. Many of us become bigots and prejudiced when we blindly follow ancient knowledge without questioning it. Connecting human insecurity to God is dangerous—do you want to portray God as prejudiced and discriminatory? If so, you are committing a spiritual crime by labeling God as something God is not.

As human beings, we are not yet fully evolved, especially in matters of spirituality. We are often too weak to stand against the wrongdoing of our groups. We prioritize group politics over spiritual principles. Religion often takes precedence over spirituality, and divisions of nation, race, and gender continue to tear us apart. This is due to individual weaknesses, and group politics still overrides spiritual principles like equal human rights and universal belonging. If humanity is still bogged down in conflict and war, we are not where we should be. Our weapons of mass destruction have outpaced our emotional evolution.

Politically aligning God with human biases or group interests should be recognized as a spiritual crime. Using God for political purposes works against God, even when done in God’s name. Over time, this damages the respect people have for God, especially those suffering from politically tainted religions.

Ask yourself: did God create humans as genetically programmed creatures or not? If so, why do we carry our own atom of autonomy? Why do we have free will to override our animal desires? Our atom of autonomy allows us to have control over our actions, not only in terms of free will but also in overcoming political influences. Along with this autonomy comes the ability to sense justice, love, bravery, and compassion.

If you are blindly cheering for your group, even when they are spiritually in the wrong, ask yourself: who are you? If you do not know, then ask questions, seek, discover, and evolve to understand yourself better. Human beings are god-like entities, holding enormous responsibilities on their shoulders, yet too often they surrender their spirituality to group politics. Though you may not grow horns or wings, you are still responsible for your actions—your group is not, for God has endowed you with God-like abilities. Your personal atom of autonomy supersedes the devils and angels of religious stories. Other than natural disasters, you are the one calling the shots in life, before anything good or bad takes physical form.

Without your input, things remain suspended, like a ghost town without people. You are the third part of the spiritual equation—you sit at the top corner because you give physicality to both spirituality and evil actions. If you learn who you truly are, you can create balance in your life; otherwise, the status quo will persist for you and for humanity.

Many of our individual and collective problems stem from being conservative, stuck in the past, while living in a modern era. Hypothetically, our conservative tracks are designed for a train limited to a certain speed. However, today’s train can run at the speed of a bullet, requiring the tracks to be straightened to match the new speed. This metaphor reflects our need to update our personal and collective pathways to keep pace with the rapid changes of today. Every individual or collective derailment of humanity points directly to these mismatched modern-day issues.

If you feel you’re facing any kind of personal derailment, it’s essential to learn about yourself, your education, and the era in which you were born. Dissatisfaction, discontentment, and various mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health issues can all arise from not being fully aware of your own authority. Before you learn about God and spirituality, you must first understand who and what you really are.

One of the most fundamental discussions centers on our physical reality, yet we’re still caught in disputes over metaphorical stories. Even after thousands of years of killing one another, we remain stuck, unable to evolve beyond the politics of belonging-related violence. We’re victims of both our individual weaknesses and our political allegiances. Since each of us is born into the metaphorical footprints of our ancestors, it’s natural to feel loyalty to our groups. However, not fully utilizing the human faculties we possess or allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the politics of belonging is an individual shortcoming. You can’t simply blame God or your group because, logically, you possess your own “atom of autonomy.”

Remember, every path ultimately leads us to our unavoidable “cliff of faith.” The story about what lies beyond this cliff, as told by your group, is not foolproof and is grounded in physical reality. The focus should not be on what’s beyond the cliff but rather on your behavior during the journey of life. The overwhelming need for political approval from our groups, combined with personal insecurities and desires to fit in or be admired, keeps us attached to these groups, regardless of what they believe or whether it’s the truth. The truth is that the politics of belonging often becomes too overwhelming for us to question, particularly when it comes to our personal views of life.

As individuals, if we come to understand our legitimate spiritual side, we can recognize that by God’s design and our natural makeup, we are meant to be the CEOs of our lives. This realization can help us address the serious challenges we face. Becoming the CEO of your own life allows you to discover who you really are and what it means to be a living, breathing human being. It also helps you connect with and resolve the root causes of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health issues. These issues are difficult to address without spiritual awareness, but spiritual knowledge can bring comfort by helping you accept mortality.

Learning to live in a mortal body and navigating the influences of both genetics and politics is the first step in becoming fully human. As individuals, we bear much more responsibility than we’re taught to believe within our groups. Simply attending a mosque, church, or temple won’t be enough. You must examine your physical, political, and spiritual makeup while also acknowledging that you are much more than your group’s political agenda wants you to be. Being unaware of who and what you are has cost many of us our relevance, self-respect, and self-esteem. The politics of belonging has done significant damage to us as individuals. Just look around—despite our so-called evolution, we still don’t have peace on Earth. One prominent reason humanity can’t count its death toll is because, as individuals, we are not using our full potential to evolve.

One of the most common political brainwashing techniques is to make individuals believe they are unworthy of directly connecting with God. But who says that? We are taught to think of ourselves as dirty sinners, forcing us to focus on life after death and constantly worry about what lies beyond the cliff of faith. This allows groups to maintain political power and control individuals like sheep. This kind of education degrades not only our living years but also our capacity to ask questions. Glorifying life after death is a political tactic that exploits individuals and God for political purposes. The carrot-and-stick philosophy is used politically to keep people in line, with hell and heaven functioning as the ultimate carrot and stick. Ironically, this approach assumes God thinks like us, or worse, that we think for God.

Personally, I believe we all hold our own “atom of autonomy.” We are not designed to be like animals, trained through carrot-and-stick methods to perform tricks for our masters. The carrot-and-stick approach, rooted in fear and greed, is politically tainted and cannot be connected to God or spirituality. To me, God is purely spiritual, and mixing God with human politics only creates a biased, political entity. In reality, the relationship between God and the individual is deeply personal and direct, like two electrical wires. Both must be connected to illuminate the light of true spiritual knowledge.

Long ago, I wrote part of a poem in my native language that illustrates this point: “Assin Taar Dey Donvain Han Vul Sajna, Jay Main Nain, Tay Toon Ve Nain Kuj Sajna.
Jay Chanan Nain Maryaan Rattaan De Vitch, Tay Outher Vee Mainu Hanair Detha.”

Translation:
“We are intertwined like two electric wires;
If I am not there, you are not meaningful either.
If there is no light in my nights, I see darkness on the other side as well.”

In short, even though God created everything, including human beings, there’s a reason humans were created with their abilities. God needs the human individual’s physicality to give spirituality a meaningful presence. This highlights the importance of the individual while exposing how political groups work against both God and the individual. Ask yourself, if there were no living human beings, what would be the purpose of God and spirituality? Sure, you might say heaven and hell are real, but they are still metaphorical realities. Groups use religious stories to keep people in line, but that’s a political tool, not a spiritual one.

We humans are equipped with the ability to self-regulate; we don’t need fear and greed to motivate us. Just look at today’s secular societies—crime rates are much lower compared to religious ones. If you are designed to be a spiritual being and let your physical genetics take control, you will act more like an animal and allow evolving genes to override what makes you fully human. Similarly, if you allow your group’s politics to override your autonomy and free will, you are not playing with a full deck of cards provided by God. If you don’t resist your animal desires and follow your group’s politics blindly, you’ll lose appreciation and contentment in life. Denying yourself happiness and contentment, especially as a mortal being, is a mistake. If you’re given free oxygen, a functioning body, and favorable circumstances, yet fail to take control of your life, you are committing a spiritual crime against yourself.

If you are aware of your mortality but cannot find happiness in your living years, you have a problem, and it’s likely connected to the politics of belonging. Happiness and contentment are our ultimate individual goals, and if your sense of belonging is robbing you of these spiritual jewels, you must take charge. You’ve been given the chance to turn spirituality into a physical reality—this is what makes God meaningful. Otherwise, God remains suspended in the air or in your imagination.

The human individual is crucial to this spiritual connection, yet religions often preach the irrelevance of the individual. Logically, this is the opposite of what we’ve been taught to believe. Every group, including religious ones, has been infiltrated by the politics of belonging, and we don’t question it due to fear and greed.

If you think humans would behave better if they were religious, think again. Look at history—religious nations have often killed each other with great passion, and it’s still happening today. Religious societies are also riddled with social and spiritual crimes more than secular ones. Ever wonder why religious spirituality has failed? We are not designed to follow carrot-and-stick rules like other creatures. We need individual knowledge and logic, which we can retain as facts. Secular societies that educate individuals with spiritual principles rather than religious rules have much lower crime rates.

If I asked you what paradise is, you might say it’s a place we go after we die if we’ve lived a good, obedient life. But why do you think that way? If you ask yourself this, you’ll realize we are not only genetically programmed to evolve but also preached to live for the afterlife. This keeps us dissatisfied, always pursuing perfection, while the leaders at the top of the chain reap the benefits of individual sacrifice.

This is more than just the politics of belonging—it’s a way to keep individuals busy and distracted from enjoying life. Groups promote this dissatisfied way of living because, in the name of individual sacrifice, they are the ones who benefit.

So far, we have evolved and changed many aspects of the world and humanity. Yet, we remain individually entangled in a lack of knowledge that undermines our self-respect and self-esteem. Being aware of our personal mortality should teach us that we are responsible not only for controlling our base desires to become better human beings but also for overcoming political limitations. Politically driven thoughts and actions are depriving us of our livelihood. If our lives are influenced by evolution, as mortal beings, we need to override those urges, especially if we want to live a happy and content life. If you spend your entire life in dissatisfaction, you are responsible for that, as you have been blessed with everything needed to overcome what robs you of appreciation, happiness, and contentment. Our lives can be a paradise we reject individually. By overriding the politics of our belonging, ignoring genetic calls, and assuming the role of CEO of our own lives, we can transform our living years into a paradise. Otherwise, we remain in a state of discontent, blindly buying into everything, including false hope, and continuing to commit social and spiritual crimes against one another. This means no heaven in our living years or even after death. Remember, your atom of autonomy is within you, judging everything you do.

There may be a paradise after death, but if you let your evolutionary nature dominate during your lifetime and build a habit of discontent, you may never find happiness, even in the afterlife. Thus, God will find it challenging to please you, as you might continue seeking perfection and finding flaws even in a divine heaven. If you believe paradise will be better than life on earth, I hope so too, but only if you understand the difference between metaphorical fantasies and physical reality. You can better appreciate your life if you learn to count your blessings while you are alive. Otherwise, you might train yourself to be dissatisfied, regardless of whether you are living or beyond.

Our knowledge can extend beyond our lifetime, so we should recognize that it falls into metaphorical realities. Thus, arguing, fighting, or killing each other over it is absurd and nonsensical. If you are emotionally charged about these issues, you are the only one who can address them. Simply remove the politics of group belonging and embrace humanity as a whole. Move beyond religions and embrace spirituality and one God. This spiritual awareness can profoundly transform you.

Always remember that physical facts are our physical realities and should never be subordinated to metaphorical realities. Regardless of what religions preach, they become akin to political parties when they enforce metaphorical realities as physical realities. Each individual is blessed with their own atom of autonomy, which allows us to use free will and a personal sense of justice. While I support the benefits of belief systems, when they become politically tainted to the point of stripping individuals of their spiritual autonomy, the politics of group belonging has gone too far. If your belief system makes you a better person, that’s great, but denying facts and disrespecting others is merely politics of belonging. Your control over group politics is your personal responsibility, so failing to use your God-given blessings of autonomy, free will, and personal justice is a flaw, not a matter of pride. Denying facts and God’s given sense of justice removes you from your spiritual zone and places you in the political realm. If political influences deny spiritual duties, you are responsible for that, as free will is also within your control.

Although human knowledge is highly susceptible to political influences, it should be for the benefit of humanity as a whole. Just as God, spirituality, and true justice are universal, human knowledge should be boundless and accessible to all, regardless of group affiliation. When some people attempt to monopolize knowledge for their group, they mix universal knowledge with political and business interests. If knowledge is preached as a panacea for spirituality, God, and humanity, it is tainted with political interests. Whenever politics or business is mixed with human knowledge, it becomes murky and tainted—good for some, but not for all. Remember, when it comes to God, spirituality, and justice, it is universal. It doesn’t matter the language it is spoken in; what matters is the essence of what is said. Logically, you cannot or should not hide behind God or spirituality if your knowledge is tainted by politics of belonging to certain groups.

Let’s examine current issues like the Ukrainian War, the Iranians demanding freedom, and the Chinese people seeking liberation. Even Saudis flee to Bahrain to escape political oppression. These actions reveal the desire to escape, often hidden but undeniable beneath popular conservative ideologies such as religion and nationalism. As new generations emerge and the number of moderates rises, people are increasingly disobeying old traditions, customs, and rules. Political hypocrisy is on the rise, and humanity is becoming more aware of the need to follow facts and place responsibility on modern individuals. With the influence of the internet, people can see global oppression with their own eyes. As they criticize and label their nations as bigoted, prejudiced, and discriminatory, they stand against outdated traditions and religious extremes. They compare themselves with other modern nations and embrace popular trends like equal human rights, which they now view as a new religion. They realize how their politics of belonging have held them back while humanity has progressed.

The Iranian crisis, or revolution, fits into the subject of my blog. I want to clarify that I am not a political figure, nor do I intend to be. My writing reflects my thoughts and opinions. My goal is to simplify complex issues so that everyone can understand and become more moderate and accepting in today’s era. These are strictly my opinions. At my core, I am liberal and believe in our evolving nature, without constraints or boundaries on my imagination, despite being Muslim. I wholeheartedly believe in equality and individual human rights. These are my honest observations and explanations. My questioning nature helps me expose what is hidden under the politics of group belonging, rather than embracing humanity as a whole. It highlights how political agendas can corrupt our spiritual principles.

It may be a game of power and control for the elite, but ordinary individuals become emotionally invested and are ready to give or take lives based on their beliefs. They believe they are doing God’s work, yet the suffering of children in Afghanistan or parents selling their children out of desperation tells a stark story.

Consider this: unlike our physical realities, such as the suffering of living, breathing individuals and collectively starving populations, God and religious beliefs are based on metaphorical realities. If you are willing to sacrifice living people for your metaphorical realities, you must remove the politics of belonging and focus on what reality is more important. Ask yourself what distinguishes physical from metaphorical realities. The easiest way to explain is to compare your physical life with your life after death. Regardless of existence, metaphorical realities cannot be explained in physical terms. Love, for example, can be felt but not easily explained or shown in physical form. We face challenges when modern individuals demand scientifically proven, repeatable results for everything. Reflect on where your emotions, like love and attachment to your groups or God, fit in. Starving children are a physical reality—regardless of any belief, get your facts straight and take responsibility.

God may or may not show up on demand to help you, and this has been a subject of disagreement for thousands of years. Yet progress and evolution continue without pause. If everyone could get whatever they wanted simply by asking God, everyone in religious institutions would have muscular bodies, and gyms would be obsolete. The motivation to work hard and evolve would disappear if everything were given by request. If religions were founded on true belief in God and free from political taint, things would be different, remaining in the spiritual realm where politics of belonging cannot infect individual spiritual values. Many religious beliefs have been tainted by group politics and motives. The impact of political agendas on religious beliefs affects how a society retains its individuals—whether powerful, in between, or powerless. Regardless of our inability to explain God as a physical reality, we can potentially benefit from having a true and spiritual belief system. We should respect our belief systems and God, but without politics of belonging, treating God as our metaphorical reality exclusively. You can only achieve this if you are strong enough to be the CEO of your own life.

If you accept that God is not a physical reality like a living, breathing person, disrespecting human life should be wrong from all spiritual perspectives. Spiritual actions should follow principles such as “Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself or your loved ones.” “Always imagine yourself on the receiving end of your actions before committing them.” If you wouldn’t want to be in that situation, it is a spiritual crime, even if it is demanded by your religion. These simple rules are great, but when group politics come into play, things become complex. If you are under the influence of political belonging, things are not as simple. Especially for those not using their God-given powers of autonomy, they become natural-born or God-created CEOs of their lives.

Real spiritual truths are universal and easy to understand, but when political belonging overrides individual spirituality, it can lead you away from being part of humanity and one God. It can make you adhere to one of many religions with extreme emotional attachment, creating significant differences, animosity, hatred, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination within humanity. Spiritually, we are all the same—we need oxygen, water, and food to live; we function similarly; we age, get old, and die the same way. So why do some believe they are better than others or that God is on their side? What makes us different is the politics of belonging, not God or spirituality. In the current era of equal human rights, things are changing rapidly. Technological, scientific, and medical advancements continue, and with the Pope’s apology, even religious fronts are evolving. Racism, nationalism, and related bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination are increasingly rejected. Traditional beliefs will eventually lose their grip.

Remember, when you use religion as a justice system, it’s like mixing politics and spirituality—a combination that has never worked well and never will. Our spirituality is connected to God, who represents our metaphorical reality. Without a solid and physical foundation for a justice system, you simply can’t enforce physical punishment in the name of a metaphorical reality. You cannot invoke or explain God as a physical reality, so the punished individual might reasonably ask you to bring God into a tangible form if you are inflicting physical punishment. It’s clear that politically tainted religious rules are not, and cannot be, spiritual. Spirituality loses its essence when mixed with politics. God and spirituality are universal, so they should remain separate from human political affiliations.

If you impose barbaric punishments for minor offenses to control societies while believing you are acting on behalf of God, remember that ruling through fear rather than educating people about spirituality is more a tactic from the political book of terror. I believe God has nothing to do with such practices, as connecting God to these actions could be considered a spiritual crime in itself.

Waging wars in the name of religion and God does not make spiritual sense. It robs physical reality in favor of metaphorical reality. As human beings, we should understand what is truly important regarding our physical and metaphorical realities. When people claim their religion is spiritually superior and label others as corrupt and godless, that is a prime example of politics rather than spirituality. It is not the religion itself but rather the individuals who convert spirituality into physical actions that define religious beliefs. Since religions have mixed politics with spirituality from the beginning, they have stripped their spiritual essence, rendering them ineffective in helping humanity. Even today, as we advocate for equal human rights, religions struggle to stand up for such spiritual ideals. They continue to be entangled in conflicts, often in the name of God or metaphorical differences.

If today’s religions are losing respect, it is not due to God, a lack of spirituality, or corrupt individuals. Rather, it is because they have sold their spiritual soul to the devil of political belonging. Just look at the numerous religious beliefs and the willingness to kill each other over differing doctrines. Why should we destroy each other’s physical reality over metaphorical differences? We still cannot physically present God, and we do not know God’s whereabouts. Religious beliefs have been infected by political motives, leading to violence for political purposes. God has been used as a political tool, overshadowing the true value of God and spiritual principles. Our political affiliations have eroded the importance of individual humanity, God, and the collective human experience. Despite this, we continue to divide humanity into smaller groups in the name of so-called peace, ignoring the spiritual education of the individual.

We are far from achieving true peace because we have not learned to respect the authority of our autonomy and the relevance of making individual choices free from political influence. Staying entrenched in political affiliations while in emotional limbo, coupled with advanced weaponry, is a recipe for disaster. Religious societies are struggling because they are not only burdened with spiritual and social issues but are also highly charged with emotions tied to metaphorical beliefs. Interestingly, secular societies with more socialism-related rules often have lower crime rates compared to religious ones. These secular societies show more compassion, generosity, and love for those in need. Why is this the case? If you investigate, you may not find religious extremism but rather spiritual principles in action. These societies provide open and boundless education, accepting and respecting individuals regardless of ethnicity, color, race, gender, nationality, or religious beliefs.

I have not understood why religious people make political choices that contradict their spiritual principles. For instance, opposing taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare seems ironic, given that spirituality emphasizes helping the needy. It is contradictory for religious individuals to oppose spiritual principles of reciprocation when they benefit from life’s essentials without control over them.

If my writing seems critical of politically biased groups, it is because I believe in the universality of spirituality, one God, and humanity as God’s hands in the physical world. Science and religions may explore ancient history, but I prefer to focus on the present era and avoid assumptions. Science talks about the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe, but the origins remain a mystery. Similarly, religious claims about God creating the universe in specific days are based on assumptions. I aim to stay in the present while avoiding assumptions.

There is nothing wrong with having a belief system as long as it keeps physical and metaphorical realities separate. If a belief system helps individuals live better lives without harming others, it is beneficial. Problems arise when people seek like-minded individuals to form political groups. This is highly political and can corrupt spiritual systems, including religions.

Let’s avoid delving into assumptions about the universe’s creation and focus on the value of the human individual in our spiritual context. Killing someone over their appearance, beliefs, or affiliations should be left behind as a steppingstone in our evolution. If you cannot change extreme behaviors, at the very least, learn to control your primal instincts and behave humanely. Do not dismiss others’ beliefs simply because they do not align with your own. Always consider how your actions affect others before committing them.

As human beings, we are evolving entities. We may not grow horns or wings, but we are continually evolving. If you live in the modern era, you have a long history behind you. We may be at different stages of evolution, but we have traversed numerous kingdoms, religions, and ideologies. Today, we seek equal human rights and reject bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. We are born into an era that does not support kingdoms, dictatorships, autocracies, communism, socialism, or political religions. We prefer democracy, as evidenced by our historical experiments with these systems. Most of us desire freedom and equality, willing to grant them if we receive them equally.

As a society, our needs may differ, but as individuals, we seek freedom, which often calls for smaller government. Yet, when faced with crime, we want a strong government to protect us. In the U.S., people grapple with the desire for freedom and the need for security, as evidenced by the debate over gun control. While individuals should control their primal instincts, the reality is that mass shootings remain a routine issue. Most people want peace and are willing to pay taxes to strengthen protective measures. However, political divisions often cloud our understanding of the era we live in.

Religious beliefs are losing their grip because God does not appear on demand, and spiritual crimes committed in God’s name diminish His respect and value. Despite living in a democracy, people remain divided. We have yet to find perfect solutions for our social and spiritual issues. In my view, the key lies in education—more education for all individuals. The challenge is educating people to the point where they can effectively manage their lives. Questioning extreme behaviors, whether our own or others’, is crucial. Freedom can lead to mass murders, while oppression can spark widespread unrest. When modern technology clashes with traditional theology, especially in conservative societies, problems are inevitable. These societies are accustomed to following old traditions.

Metaphorically speaking, our curvy rail tracks are not suited for today’s speeding trains. Modern trains move like speeding bullets, leading to frequent individual and collective derailments. The unrest we experience today is related to our evolution, albeit at different rates and in various aspects of life.

As an individual, if you become a science or religious fanatic, it’s not necessarily because you know more. It’s often due to the politics surrounding your affiliations. Being a follower of science, you might excel in numbers and dimensions, but you could be lacking in understanding love, compassion, bravery, generosity, and other emotions that make a person a complete human being. Conversely, if you are stuck in religious beliefs and consider scientific advancements like blood transfusions and stem cells as ungodly, you are distancing yourself from true spirituality. Your adherence to religious beliefs does not necessarily mean you are closer to spirituality or saving lives. In fact, you might be missing the essence of spirituality.

You might think that you are doing the right thing by believing in God and following religious teachings. However, if you disregard human physicality and view it as irrelevant for political purposes, you are committing a significant spiritual injustice. You are not acknowledging the essential role of human physicality in translating spirituality into physical actions. Metaphorical realities must be converted into physical realities to be meaningful, and it is the living, breathing human individual who performs this translation. Without human physicality, things don’t work as well unless it’s a miracle—something that is rare and certainly not something to rely on.

If you disregard human physicality for political reasons, you are committing a spiritual crime. First, you are doing an injustice by not acknowledging their role in manifesting spirituality into physical action. Second, you are making human individuals irrelevant and, in doing so, putting God in a political dilemma. God needs human physicality to make things happen. If you think rejecting meaningful progress that saves human lives is somehow doing God a favor, you are mistaken. God is the one who embedded evolution within us. Today, if science is saving more lives than religions have taken, this is where science merges with spirituality, becoming more beneficial than our traditional religious practices. Therefore, as humanity, we should align our rail tracks to accommodate our speeding trains. If we fail to separate God from our political affiliations, we will end up disrespecting God.

We all come with evolution ingrained within us, and that is God’s will. Yet, many of us stand in the way. Reflect critically on your own beliefs and remove the politics of affiliation. You will discover that evolution is happening due to God’s blessings, simply because a human individual does not control their next breath.

Consider why we have thousands of religious beliefs if God is one. Why does God allow scientists to expand their knowledge and provide tangible results that benefit humanity and even save lives? Why do religions typically discourage exploring and following our evolutionary nature? This issue is not about God, spirituality, or humanity, but about individual insecurities created by our political groups. Therefore, the solution is to gain individual strength and recognize the politics behind our behaviors.

If a human individual carries an atom of autonomy, they are a crucial part of the divine picture. Imagine removing all human beings and ponder what would happen to God and the Devil. Would they carry the same weight or have any significance without humans? If you don’t question these ideas, you will always seek validation from your groups, which are inherently politically tainted. By delving deeper within yourself, you will uncover a new perspective. Our belief systems guide us towards understanding our spiritual side, which affects us all as human beings. Just as our physical sensations don’t arise without thought, our physicality needs spiritual guidance to navigate our time on earth.

If you exclusively live as a religious or scientific fanatic, you might miss out on the full experience of human life. Our nature cannot be completed from just one perspective, much like a light bulb cannot be lit with only one wire. Both positive and negative elements must be present to achieve the desired outcome. If you believe God is responsible for everything, you might not fully embrace your role as a human being. We are like notes written on a music sheet, and when it’s our turn, we must produce a sound to contribute to the divine melody. For example, a monk may hold a blank sheet. Imagine if all humans were monks—what would happen to our evolving nature? Alternatively, if you stress yourself trying to light a bulb with one wire, you miss out on progress.

What happened fourteen billion years ago may or may not be the complete truth, but questioning and seeking understanding helps make sense of it all. I believe in our evolving nature. I can accept scientific explanations but will also ask where the marble came from, why it exploded, or why it’s constantly expanding. Why reject the idea that God might be involved in all this? If you disagree, explain these assumptions better than religions do. If you blindly accept these assumptions, there’s little difference between science and religious beliefs.

There is nothing wrong with having religious, spiritual, scientific, or medical beliefs, or personal morality, ethics, and honesty. But if you are certain you are right and seek like-minded people to form a group, you become a political entity. Especially if you actively preach, recruit, and use your group’s strength to intimidate, influence, or wage wars, you are engaging in political manipulation. Our nature is to evolve, so our knowledge cannot be frozen in a particular era. Whether religious or not, there is no exclusive or frozen knowledge for humanity. Human beings are insecure and politically tainted, making them unreliable, especially regarding God, spirituality, and humanity as a whole.

If your group or you are using God politically, it is a spiritual crime. God cannot be connected to bigotry, prejudice, or discrimination. If a group goes to war over God and spirituality, they are treating God as if He were like a human being with human flaws. If we can separate our political affiliations from spirituality and refrain from using God for political purposes, we might find inner peace. External peace has been elusive for thousands of years because we have been taught to prioritize metaphorical realities over physical realities. From the beginning, we have faced injustice against individuals and opposing groups, and this persists even with the popularity of equal human rights. If we don’t adapt to our speeding trains and match their speed, people will lose respect for their religions and for God. Our political groups commit atrocities in the name of God and religion. Remember, in music, both notes and spaces are essential to create a harmonious rhythm. In this metaphor, humans are the notes, and God represents the spaces. Both are necessary to create a meaningful melody; otherwise, it’s either complete silence or nonstop noise without harmony. As thinking mortals, we need some silence for our rhythmic melody and peace of mind. The extreme silence preached by religions is not suitable for humans. It contradicts our evolutionary nature and neglects the need for action and happiness.

One of my clients struggled with their child, so I discussed the love triangle divided into three equal parts: passionate love, instinctive love, and universal love. Each corner of this triangle is equally important. If you are not the CEO of your life, you may be pulled in different directions, causing imbalance. Your spiritual side can help manage these natural urges. You need to nurture your spiritual side to balance your instincts and universal love. If you prioritize one aspect over another, especially universal love over personal connections, you are missing the mark. Our individual values and upbringing can disrupt this balance, so if you’re struggling in your love triangle, this insight might help.

A while ago, there was news about a woman named Susan Smith in the United States who claimed she was carjacked by a Black man. Yet, it was later revealed that she had drowned her own two children because her boyfriend did not want them. She prioritized her passionate love over her instinctive love. If you’re curious, you can Google the story for more details.

In another case, a Sikh family sent their daughter to India to get married, but she did not like the man they chose for her. Instead, she chose to marry a rickshaw driver. This decision drove her parents to madness, as their universal love overwhelmed them, leading them to ultimately have their daughter killed. Their universal love had overshadowed their instinctive love. This story is documented in a real-life documentary. Without individual balance, universal love has the potential to consume not only the individual but also society and humanity as a whole.

Iranians are currently grappling with this dilemma. As this is related to differences in opinions at the individual level, our societies will always be susceptible to conflicts. This is because some individuals place more value on metaphorical realities than physical ones. For instance, children represent our physical reality, while our religious beliefs and God are metaphorical realities. When someone prioritizes metaphorical realities over physical ones, they are often influenced by political or group affiliations. It is not that one reality is better or stronger than the other, but rather that personal weaknesses can cause disruption.

Remember, God created each person with their own atom of autonomy, which allows them to become the CEO of their own life. So why is there so much trouble? It’s because our belonging groups often politically brainwash individuals, making them believe and feel insecure, thus compelling them to adhere to the group and relinquish their personal power. Especially if someone has been influenced during their formative years, they might place universal love above their own self, neglecting even their loved ones. If you’ve been prioritizing your group over your family, you have a problem only you can solve, and that can only happen if you become the CEO of your life. If you feel weak and insecure without your group, you will likely place others above your own children or instinctive and passionate love.

It may ruffle some feathers, but to me, our physical realities must take precedence over our metaphorical ones. While belonging to a group, God, or mass might seem noble, spiritually, it is incorrect because it is political. Moreover, it makes God appear unjust. To me, spirituality and everything related to God should be upheld by pure justice. This applies whether it’s between individuals, between an individual and a group, or even between God and an individual. Justice must be paramount, especially if you wish to understand spirituality in its purest form. Most of our spiritual systems and religious beliefs place God above the individual, yet in reality, it is the individual who performs actions that give meaning to divine actions. So, if group politics can override individual rights, it is spiritually wrong because it connects God to human politics, which is a spiritual crime as it biases God.

Equal human rights lead us in the right direction, freeing God from being a politically biased or discriminatory entity. If your religion, sect, race, or nation promotes group politics, it is leading you away from your personal spiritual path rather than guiding you toward it. Remember, you carry your own atom of autonomy and are responsible for your personal spirituality. If you take on the role of a CEO and manage all other areas of your life, why not manage the spiritual department as well? By understanding honest reciprocation, you won’t fear hell or covet heaven. Own your actions so you can believe you don’t need to hide behind a group to achieve spiritual fulfillment. Logically, a mortal human being has no security. You are responsible not only for your actions but also for evaluating the politics of your group. Hiding behind your group or even God and Devil does not work for a being with free will and a personal sense of justice. By becoming aware of your atom of autonomy and related responsibilities, you can achieve internal and external peace. If you can separate politics from spirituality, you will balance this love triangle. A balanced individual can see how politics have robbed individuals and other groups of their rights.

Recently, the Pope apologized for the wrongs committed by his religion against Canadian Natives to address past wounds. Why can’t this happen in other religions or nations? Today is about equal human rights, so why can’t we question our groups to change their rhetoric and focus on healing instead of dwelling on past grievances? Can equal human rights address past political disputes? When it comes to our religions, we often think it’s all God’s will and that human beings are irrelevant. My blog aims to clarify these confusions, regardless of how many people resist it. Remember, we were not created like other genetically programmed creatures; otherwise, our evolution would be similar to theirs. If we reflect on why we are what we are today, it could lead us to even better places. If we move beyond group politics and embrace humanity as a whole, we can achieve unprecedented progress. For instance, if we stop waging wars, imagine how much money could be redirected to combat poverty and disease. If you can’t envision this, be prepared for potential nuclear disasters. Our current paths are leading us toward scenarios predicted in our holy books.

While nations and religions often believe that competition fosters progress, killing each other to get ahead is not healthy for humanity, especially when considering our spiritual nature. Without our spiritual side, we might still be living in caves or jungles. All progress has stemmed from our evolving spirituality. Our physical form remains unchanged; we haven’t grown wings or claws, yet we live in high-rises, fly in planes, and dig deeper than any creature with claws. We need to understand who we truly are. While we may still kill each other, the nature of conflict has evolved. Modern weaponry can indiscriminately destroy, potentially rendering even concepts of God and Devil impotent.

Our lack of belief in a single God and humanity as a whole often results from political belonging. Our passionate adherence to countless religious beliefs and sects leads us toward scenarios of destruction predicted by various religions, not due to God but due to human political irrelevance. Spiritual evolution requires progress in all areas of life. Mortality should teach us to grow spiritually just as we grow in other aspects. However, politics and group belonging often win due to individual insecurities and spiritual weaknesses.

Consider this from an individual perspective. You might be the world champion, richest, strongest, or smartest, but as a mortal being, you face the cliff of faith, an undeniable physical reality. Whether you’re a scientist or a wise Guru, real wisdom lies in living a mortal life with spiritual justice-based values. True happiness comes from living fully in the present moment and helping others feel good. Spirituality transcends man-made boundaries. If being religious makes you a good person, try removing the politics of belonging to see what world you land in. Spirituality, justice, and God are universal and survive within living, breathing human beings, not confined to specific groups. Good and bad people exist throughout humanity, regardless of race, gender, nation, religion, or era. Claiming exclusivity to any group is false and political. Making individuals feel superior due to their group affiliation is a spiritual crime, robbing them of their spirituality. Bigotry, racism, prejudice, and discriminatory traditions lead to wars, directly connected to the politics of belonging. Passing a genetic test to be human means you belong to humanity as a whole, not to a specific group. Groups cannot accomplish anything physically without individuals. Individual growth, not group affiliation, is essential for personal and inner peace. Every group’s physical value depends on the human individual’s actions. God and spirituality are connected to human physicality but are not confined to any specific group. As we age, our physical bodies change, but the force that keeps them in form remains. Just as removing threads from a cloth eventually destroys it, we must acknowledge that while spiritual beliefs cannot be physically proven, they are essential for meaningful existence.

Human sacrifice, practiced by numerous unconnected societies, highlights that certain aspects of human belief cannot be explained by scientific facts alone. If human physicality does not convert spirituality into meaningful actions, nothing works physically. Whether nationalism or religion, groups have historically exploited individuals for political purposes. Whether in the name of nationalism or God, humanity’s spiritual picture has been politically corrupt from the start. The blame lies with individual weaknesses and group politics. Physiologically, the human individual is central to this spiritual picture because a living, breathing person converts spiritual thoughts into physical actions. Yet, political purposes have systematically robbed individuals of their spirituality, often without acknowledgment from political groups. This injustice remains unaddressed in religious settings, as vulnerable individuals are politically manipulated to stay with their groups. Injustice in religious foundations cannot be spiritual; thus, God and spirituality are not involved.

If we do not become CEOs of our lives, religious beliefs or political affiliations can overwhelm us. Our personal weaknesses can make these affiliations seem more significant than ourselves and eventually consume us. This leads to the loss of free will, personal justice, and spirituality, reducing us to beings driven by politics. Even noble causes can become political, leading to conflicts and wars in the name of God. Politics can overshadow spirituality, making God a mere pawn in political games. While it’s easy to seek refuge in different religions or sects, mixing politics with belief systems can undermine essential spiritual aspects.

Our animal instincts, like the lust for power, passion, and emotional extremes, can lead to places where there is passion but no compassion or love. In such states, even God and personal spirituality can become impotent. This results in the loss of what makes us human, reducing us to political puppets. We need to recognize that our spirituality is fundamental to our humanity. Understanding the difference between being religious and being human is essential for personal and spiritual growth. If we don’t balance our spiritual and physical aspects, we risk becoming mere political entities, losing our true essence in the process.

Certainly! Here’s the revised version of your blog post with proper American English grammar, spelling, and punctuation:

If this does not make any sense to you, try removing the politics of your belonging and see if you can find your personal spirituality. Individual human strength has often been discouraged by our politically influenced governing systems. This is because, when governance becomes challenging, authorities tend to resort to politically conforming traditions, customs, rituals, and enforced rules. If the population is conditioned from an early age, they do not question political authority. Thus, the real issue is not whether there is a God or not, but rather the politics of belonging that shape or hinder the individual. Reducing human beings to genetically programmed creatures like bees or ants is detrimental not only to the individual but also to the communities or groups they belong to, as they ultimately suffer in the long run. Our history is filled with examples of various religious beliefs, sects, and the rise and fall of empires and governing systems.

Human societies have experimented with different forms of governance, from kingdoms to democracies and everything in between. We have even attempted to involve and use God as a political entity in our religions. Despite humanity’s experiences with communism, socialism, and religion as governing systems, each has carried its own forms of injustice. Thus, any governing system that benefits some but not all is spiritually inadequate. Today, in an era that values equal human rights, democracy is the closest to aligning with spiritual values. Socialism, communism, and political religions may appear noble and spiritual, but in practice, they often contradict the principles of spirituality and equal human rights. Many people, despite their religious teachings, vote for conservative and Republican candidates due to deep-seated bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. The problem is that our ancient prejudicial religious beliefs hinder us from truly embracing the notion of equality.

When it comes to equal human rights, individual-to-individual relationships might work well, but when it involves individuals versus corporations, nations, or religions, the political system often falls apart, especially in terms of spirituality. True spiritual equality means equality in every context—whether between individuals or between individuals and larger entities like corporations, nations, or religions. You cannot attach injustice to God.

If one works hard and smart, they should reap the rewards of their efforts. Viewed through a just governing system, all corporations, groups, nations, and religions become like individuals. They need resources to function smoothly, which is where taxes come into play. If we establish honest reciprocation as the foundation of our governing systems and all human relationships, things could work out well. Otherwise, the struggle will continue indefinitely, as it has in the past. If you feel taxes are unfair, it might be because you view them from a different perspective. Spiritually, we all have personal responsibilities to reciprocate. If you are born to experience and enjoy life, what are you contributing in return? You live with the benefit of oxygen; just as your parents helped you, God helps you because you rely on external factors to experience life. Even if you do not believe in God, nature provides for you, as you have no control over your next breath. Therefore, you do not simply exist without giving anything back. What are you doing for God or nature in return for all the help you receive? It is a human responsibility to reciprocate. Since God or nature does not need anything physical, if someone prays for help, how do you think God will assist them without your help? You are given the autonomy to decide how to reciprocate for your blessings. Often, this involves paying it forward by taking responsibility for fulfilling the prayers of those in need. Taxes, in my view, are a system set up to aid those in need. If you are born in a city with all kinds of conveniences and security, you have a responsibility to contribute to these services. Similarly, you have a spiritual duty to reciprocate for the free oxygen, functioning body, and favorable conditions that allow you to live a human life.

You may say that you don’t believe in God, so you should live as you wish. However, if you benefit from life’s blessings and have no control over what keeps you alive, it is spiritually troubling to carry burdens or debts, including to God. Viewing taxes as reciprocation might shift your perspective, as inner peace is closely related to a debt-free and reciprocated life. Although many religious structures are adorned with grand buildings, human populations nearby may suffer from hunger, poverty, and disease. Remember, God lives through human physicality and does not need physical buildings; it is often political beneficiaries who misuse these buildings for personal gain or to hide illicit activities.

Religions have politicized spirituality with a carrot-and-stick approach, using concepts like heaven and hell to instill fear and greed. However, humans are not animals, and such tactics are ineffective. Despite thousands of years of religious teachings, societies with high crime rates present a spiritual contradiction to their political ideologies. Wars are fought as if killing each other will bring one closer to heaven, destroying God’s work. Pure spirituality, based on honest reciprocation, allows one to see beyond the politics of belonging. Removing these politics will help reveal the true spiritual picture. By understanding honest reciprocation while alive, you can avoid the fear of hell and greed for heaven, embracing responsibilities with a CEO-like perspective that recognizes how politics of belonging erode personal spirituality. You will understand how political belonging demands reliance on groups for security, despite the logical understanding that true security is unattainable.

Religious paths are often based on the unknown. Just as a cell inside the body cannot comprehend the whole body, we can only make assumptions about what keeps us alive. Yet we fight over these assumptions. We should question why this is happening. If you do not question because of political allegiance, you must dig within to understand yourself. Consider yourself as a cell in an arm; while you belong to the arm, the arm belongs to the body. Similarly, you belong to the whole body, or in a broader sense, to God. If you sever the arm from the body, the body survives, but if the body dies, the arm cannot. By questioning and removing the politics of belonging, you can uncover the truth and prevent it from consuming your personal spirituality. You will see how politics of belonging robs individual spirituality and self-esteem.

Like a modern cell phone with undiscovered features, we may not fully understand our own abilities. If we do not explore them, it does not mean they are absent. Similarly, understanding yourself requires going beyond current scientific limitations and exploring the unknown. Our scientific knowledge, though extensive, cannot fully explain the origins of the universe or our existence. We must continue to explore and evolve. Religions may serve to slow us down and adapt to the pace of evolution safely. By stopping exploration, we defy the divine order. We must ask ourselves why and how we live with trillions of cells and bacteria only to die.

If you don’t want to venture into the realm of assumptions, simply accept the reality that we do not know everything and continue exploring. Dismissing one another stems from a lack of complete knowledge; therefore, we should view human potential collectively or as a species. The politics of group affiliation have cost countless lives and caused significant damage. It’s time to explore and understand who and what you truly are. Remember, each individual carries their own atom of autonomy, which allows them to exercise free will and a personal sense of justice. You must make sense of the confusion that has surrounded you for so long. According to your nature, you are responsible for your actions, regardless of your political affiliations. While communities and belief systems are important, humanity as a whole is crucial. Our nature indicates that we are not solely physical beings; we also embody a mini-God-like identity. Understanding what lies beyond our physicality is both a personal and individual responsibility. The concept of God is neutral, providing everything necessary for life and functioning. Coming into existence means entering the realm of God, where you use your free will to choose your actions. Good or bad cannot manifest unless an individual brings it to life. If you set aside politics, you will realize that neither God nor the Devil is responsible for your actions; it is you who has the power to translate good and bad into physical reality. Unlike worker bees or warrior ants, humans cannot attribute every action to divine forces.

My blog does not promote any specific religious belief, nationalism, racism, gender bias, prejudice, or discrimination. On the contrary, I advocate for equal human rights, spirituality over religion, and individual over group politics. I recognize our current level of evolution, with nearly two hundred nations, many of which struggle to maintain cohesion. I believe that it is not the politics of group affiliations, but rather the inherent weaknesses of individuals that cause our struggles. If you are born in today’s world, take a moment to assess where you truly stand. Consider how the politics of belonging have manipulated you and why you allow it to continue despite your inherent qualities. Ask yourself why you can’t overcome these political constraints. Why can’t you embrace your God-given CEO status? Why can’t you address issues directly? What prevents you from using your free will and personal sense of justice? Is it your loyalty to your race, color, gender, nation, or religion? Why can’t you reject the political jargon that limits your potential? Remember, those opposing your personal power are merely other individuals, including yourself. They lack the authority to make decisions for you. You possess your own atom of autonomy. As I have consistently stated, individual weaknesses are our fundamental problem, allowing groups to create prejudiced and discriminatory entities. Neither God nor nature is responsible for this; the solution lies in acknowledging and using the powers within you. Your atom of autonomy grants you free will and a personal sense of justice, teaching you to give and receive equal human rights. Remember two basic spiritual principles: Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones, and always consider how you would feel on the receiving end of your actions before committing them. If you wouldn’t want to be in that situation, it is a spiritual crime, regardless of what your group or religion advocates.

Despite its imperfections, modern democracy is the closest governing system to one that aligns with spiritual principles. The days of kingdoms, imperialism, communism, socialism, or religious governance are either long gone or numbered. Today, you can believe in whatever you choose, but you cannot infringe upon another’s human rights. Remember to place yourself in others’ shoes. Regardless of your group’s or religion’s stance, you are responsible for your actions. You cannot attribute your or your group’s injustices to God. Even if religious leaders preach politically motivated injustices, it is contrary to God’s will, and following such teachings constitutes a spiritual crime.

If everyone is discussing fake news, it should not be surprising given our history of political disputes and violence. Religions, with their thousands of variations, have all labeled others as false. According to my research, there are still around 4,200 active religions in the world. Unfortunately, our differences continue to lead to violence. If politics of belonging were not involved, religious beliefs would retain their spiritual essence, and we would not be killing each other over differing opinions. Let me be clear: I am not dismissing religions as fake news; my issue lies with the politics of group affiliation, which distorts and corrupts the spiritual content of religious beliefs.

To me, just as God is one and universal, so too are humanity, the individual, and their spirituality. When politics of belonging are placed above spirituality, they become political rather than spiritual. This turns all spiritual intentions into mere political actions. You cannot make God a political entity without distorting His nature. Doing so makes you a political puppet. Since our current knowledge cannot physically prove God’s existence or make God manifest repeatedly, we should not go to war over our evolving understanding. Remember, a person who genuinely believes in their religion’s spiritual content and lives an honest life can lead a better life than those who believe in nothing at all.

The struggle between truth and falsehood has persisted throughout history, and as long as human insecurities exist, so will politics. Wherever politics is involved, fake news or politically tainted misinformation will follow. It has never been about God or religion, but rather about political belonging and individual weaknesses. These weaknesses prevent people from handling the responsibilities of truth, especially when manipulated by political forces. This issue extends beyond religious politics; political fake news pervades all areas of life. If you don’t believe in God, you may also find it difficult to believe in Love, Compassion, Bravery, Sacrifice, Honesty, and Personal Sense of Justice—qualities that define humanity. If you miss out on these spiritual aspects, you lose what makes life meaningful, regardless of its mortal nature. If you can believe in these virtues but not in God, I challenge you to consider why you accept these values but reject the concept of God.

Let’s examine it from a different perspective. Do we have a say in our own lives, or are we merely following a path influenced by our individual life stories? This question is a significant source of division among people, both individually and collectively. Our relationships often seem like a complex mixture shaped by our belonging groups. For example, our religions might dictate that a person has all the power and say in their own life, while simultaneously suggesting that God designs and enforces how life should be lived. To me, this represents a major contradiction and a weak point in the argument about whether we truly have control over our lives.

The concept of individual importance is closely tied to what I describe as an “atom of autonomy.” Although we rely on many factors beyond our control, such as oxygen, a functioning body, and favorable life circumstances, we all possess this atom of autonomy. It’s our role to act as the CEOs of our lives. Problems arise when our belonging groups interfere and undermine our individual importance for political reasons. Our insecurities are often rooted in the education provided by these groups. Consequently, our sense of loyalty and hormonal influences create powerful circumstances where even the strongest individuals fall victim to politics.

Politics based on group belonging is often the root cause of many disputes and conflicts. Individual strength is the antidote, yet many belonging groups work against it. Even today, in an era of human enlightenment, significant gaps remain where individual strength is needed. The political education of groups affects everything from personal relationships to interactions between individuals and God. All relationships suffer due to politically tainted education, so reforming this education can yield positive results. Today’s era is ripe for such change because humanity is increasingly accepting and respecting equal individual rights—a phenomenon not seen in recorded history. As we evolve, groups still cling to outdated notions of belonging rather than embracing humanity as a whole. If we continue to advance towards accepting equal human rights, but our groups resist and maintain old practices, they will become vulnerable and collapse, as individual strength can easily erode their integrity.

In my view, most relationship failures can be attributed to three basic issues: insecurities related to lack of trust and control, the primal urge to dominate others, and the lack of equal and honest reciprocation. Belonging groups often preach dependency for political reasons, causing individuals to seek belonging and forfeit their personal power. While the power of numbers still influences conservative groups, modern technology has changed this dynamic. Being part of a strong group no longer guarantees anything, and understanding modern-day challenges is crucial. In personal relationships, if one or more people are insecure, they are likely to experience control and trust issues. If everyone is insecure, the mutual need for dependency may facilitate coexistence despite problems. However, dependency should not be the primary reason for staying together, as it can lead to destruction when circumstances change.

In earlier eras, being dominant was advantageous, but today, we rely on our “big brother”—the government—to provide protection. We can no longer rely solely on our primal instincts; we must confront our inner demons to navigate modern society successfully. With the end of slavery and the condemnation of animalistic behavior, dominating others can backfire. As we no longer live in caves or jungles, we must adapt to social norms of our current era. Failing to understand both your nature and societal rules may result in inappropriate behavior, which can lead to failed relationships and social issues. Adjusting to societal expectations is essential to avoid negative consequences.

Honest reciprocation is another critical issue. Societal education often emphasizes profit—spending less and gaining more—which can undermine the success of modern relationships. If everyone adhered to this philosophy, parents would not provide for their children, and children would not support their parents. This mindset robs honest reciprocation of its spiritual value. Honest reciprocation is a fundamental human trait, present from birth, and it is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. Political education can erode this trait, leading to a lack of genuine connection. Understanding and practicing honest reciprocation can enhance relationships, as opposed to viewing them through a lens of transactional profit.

You have your atom of autonomy within you. God does not judge you; you are responsible for your own judgments and actions. Spiritual values like honest reciprocation are vital aspects of a well-evolved individual. If you seek to use people and God for personal gain, you become a puppet of political agendas, just as your group might teach you. By focusing on genuine, supportive interactions, you can build successful relationships that benefit both parties involved.

UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE AND FRAGURANCE OF GOD IS THE FOUNDATION OF INDIVIDUAL SELF-ESTEEM…

November 6, 2022 

Before I get into this topic, I need to address one of my recurring themes: equal human rights and how we must adjust the tracks of our evolution to keep up with the speeding train of modern times. I want to discuss the protests in Iran. While I don’t like to get political, I find that my hands are tied. It’s nearly impossible to talk about spiritual matters without acknowledging the political injustices that come with them. I try to keep my opinions grounded in spiritual principles, but as human beings, we belong to various groups—gender, community, nation, and religion—which overwhelmingly promote the politics of belonging. This is an unavoidable reality.

We cannot live or govern human communities without political systems, and I respect that politics has its place. However, as individuals, we must prioritize justice and spirituality over group politics. If we don’t, injustice, prejudice, and discrimination will continue to dominate the world. I believe that if we, as individuals, commit to justice, we can compel the groups we belong to do the same. Unfortunately, the state of the world shows that we are still struggling with the same issues that plagued us in the past, largely because of our individual weaknesses.

Despite all our progress, humanity continues to suffer from spiritual ills. Compassion is often overshadowed by political allegiances. We have countless religions with millennia of spiritual teachings, but they have failed to transcend the politics of belonging. In fact, many religious systems encourage individuals to blindly follow their group, regardless of the political context. They allow the politics of belonging to strip religion of its spirituality. Since I believe spirituality and justice are intertwined, my writings focus on physical and honest truths. Prioritizing metaphorical realities over someone’s physical existence has been the root of many human disputes.

Interestingly, many religious beliefs have strayed from their spiritual foundations, clinging instead to the politics of belonging. They wield God and the Devil as tools of political power, rather than guiding people toward spiritual growth. Always remember: religious beliefs are meant to be spiritual systems that support individuals in their daily lives. No one should have the power to rob others of their basic rights and liberties—especially not in the name of God.

If you advocate for a conservative constitution, you are entitled to that, as long as it doesn’t lead to injustice against individuals, especially under the guise of religion. Violating people’s rights in the name of political agendas not only harms individuals but also tarnishes the name of God. To me, that is an injustice against God and a spiritual sin. If a nation wishes to uphold a conservative constitution, it must still grapple with today’s realities, such as equal human rights and spiritual justice. The world is changing faster than ever before. You only need to look around to see the evidence. Successful melting-pot societies thrive because they enshrine equal human rights in their constitutions.

Political systems that offer equal rights have proven to be more effective than other forms of government, such as monarchies, dictatorships, communism, socialism, or theocratic rule. These systems have historically failed humanity by not only bringing death and destruction but also robbing individuals of their spiritual rights. Despite its imperfections, democracy remains the governing system closest to spirituality because it is based on equality.

We may look and feel different on the outside, but what keeps us alive is the same. If you breathe oxygen, were born to human parents, and experience hunger, thirst, sickness, aging, joy, pain, and emotional hurt, you are a human being, just like everyone else. Spirituality is the common thread within all of us. It upholds individual freedom while allowing for disputes to be resolved through reason, as in a court of law, rather than through dictatorial edicts.

Religious beliefs, however, often leave no room for debate. They are dominated by traditions, customs, rituals, and rules that are enforced upon everyone to follow blindly. But as evolutionary beings, we can’t be confined within rigid boundaries. Differences of opinion are inevitable. Our ancient social structures are like curvy rail tracks built for slow trains, but today’s fast-paced world requires straighter, more modern tracks. Without them, individual and collective progress will derail, especially for those born into modern societies but forced to follow outdated rules. The situations in Afghanistan and Iran are prime examples of this dilemma.

This tug-of-war is not exclusive to developing nations. Even developed countries like the United States are grappling with the same issues. In today’s internet-driven world, societies—especially those with younger populations—cannot be slowed down. They must modernize their systems, or they risk being torn apart. Look at Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative societies in the world. Even they are adapting to the changing times.

When individuals who are stuck in the past lead their societies, the results can be disastrous. People will not only disrespect those who believe differently but also disregard the law in favor of their religious beliefs. This disrespect, in turn, leads others to disrespect religious beliefs, even God. So, who is responsible for this chaos? I believe both sides are innocent. They simply need to learn how to evolve with the times.

In today’s world, there must be room for change. Unfortunately, many religions don’t leave room for evolution. As a result, they lose followers, even those who would otherwise be devoted believers. This “brain drain” often leads to a loss of respect for both religious beliefs and God. Governments that fail to modernize their systems will inevitably fall back on religion as a political tool. And if a political system is based on metaphorical realities, it cannot provide justice for all. That removes it from the realm of spirituality.

Believing in conservatism is one thing, but being rigid and resistant to evolution is authoritarianism. The first rule of spirituality is to address this mismatch. We cannot allow our societies and individuals to remain stuck in the past. Disregarding progress has nothing to do with religious beliefs or God—it’s about clinging to power.

Remember, all human beings are evolving, and that is part of God’s design. No religion can stop that. Today, the imbalance between evolution and tradition could lead humanity toward self-destruction, especially when raw, untamed emotions are mixed with weapons of mass destruction.

Having a belief system to guide a moral and comfortable life should be a personal and private matter. Organized religion has not succeeded in this regard. The crime rate of a society is a direct measure of its moral success. Societies with the lowest crime rates are often the least religious, which says a lot about the changing times. To achieve self-regulation, one must understand spiritual principles, not rigid religious rules.

We must evolve and embrace the new spiritual trends of humanity, such as democracy and equal human rights. If your religious beliefs promote bigotry, prejudice, or discrimination, it’s time to embrace modern-day spirituality. You can still maintain your religious beliefs, but in today’s world, no one wants to be labeled a bigot. Those days are over.

Preaching about making decisions for a personally successful life is not the responsibility of religions or governing authorities; it is an individual responsibility. Demanding that everyone around you should believe the same way is purely political. If you dig deeper, you’ll find that God and spirituality have nothing to do with it. When you mix politics with belief systems, you not only lose your personal sense of spirituality but also begin to use God and spirituality for political purposes. This often leads to the dangerous belief that God is a prejudiced and discriminatory entity. To me, this is equivalent to robbing God and spirituality of their respect.

When religious beliefs are used as political systems, bigotry, prejudice, and injustice inevitably follow. If God is the foundation of such injustice, God is unfairly labeled as prejudiced. Following religious extremism doesn’t do any favors to God. When an individual is harmed, hurt, or disrespected by your actions, they may lose faith in religion and even in God. This is the consequence of the politics of belonging, and it’s no wonder that people are losing respect for their religions and defying their rules. Personally, I believe injustice cannot be connected to God because, according to spirituality, God is not for some but for all. God is neutral, and it is up to us to convert spirituality into physical actions—or risk committing spiritual crimes.

Just look around the world and see how God and religious beliefs have been, and still are, used for political purposes. From Brazil to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and even America, wherever religion is used politically, the ordinary individual suffers. Since religions have been politically bought and sold without their spiritual content, people are left spiritually confused. Instead of standing by the poor, sick, hungry, and vulnerable with compassion, religious people often stand against spirituality and justice. Many vote against universal healthcare or welfare systems, yet the spirituality of all religions calls for compassion and helping those in need. How can so-called “Godly” people oppose helping the needy, who are praying to God for help?

If you critically and logically assess humanity, we are meant to be God’s working hands, converting spirituality into physical actions. Yet, when politics of belonging take over, people shamelessly use God and their religion to do the opposite—they are, in essence, doing the devil’s work in the name of God. Modern-day politicians have convinced people to sell their spiritual principles for political gain. If you cannot stand on your own and make your own choices, you have been brainwashed. God created you to be the CEO of your own life, genetically designed to be an independent spiritual entity—a kind of mini-God. Don’t believe me? Start looking at yourself as a complete human being and dig within. You’ll discover a universe within yourself, wrapped in your real identity. Break out of the political shells you’ve been encased in.

The politics of belonging to groups is one of the main culprits. Whether it’s race, color, gender, nation, or religion, if you can put these influences aside, you’ll find the true human being buried underneath. Only then can you meet the real you. Then, explore what you are made of. You carry your own “atom of autonomy,” which makes you a mini-God capable of making choices, unlike other animals.

Believe in your own atom of autonomy to become the CEO of your life. In today’s world, we all have tremendous responsibilities. We can’t just be part of a political group and lose our personal identity. Since our individual importance and relevance are at stake, we must understand our standing in the larger scheme of life. Remember, issues like self-respect and self-esteem are deeply connected to the health of our spiritual side. If you take charge of your life with a healthy dose of spirituality, you can’t go wrong. Relying on your group to make decisions for you is one thing, but disrespecting your own free will, self-respect, and self-esteem is another. Political groups will rob you of your individual relevance and self-esteem whenever they can because a stronger you is a threat to their control. A weaker, more vulnerable you, however, is an asset to the few in power. This reduces you to a mere puppet, a cog in the machine.

Remember, you are designed to be a whole machine, not a spare part. So, don’t rip yourself off of your personal importance, relevance, and self-esteem. Sure, we are dependent on others in our early years and cannot function alone, but as we grow, it is our responsibility to take charge of our lives.

Your physical body may come and go, but what moves you as a person, what animates you from birth to death, is your true self. We should not confuse metaphorical realities with physical realities. Believing in something metaphorically does not mean rejecting it entirely. As human beings, we are always evolving, and our learning is limitless. As we learn something new, we create more brain neurons, so logically, we don’t have caps or limits as conservative or religious authorities might have us believe.

Our imagination belongs to the realm of metaphorical reality, and much of human progress comes from that. Without a functioning spiritual side, life is reduced to mere physical existence. Spiritual fulfillment is essential to experiencing real happiness and contentment. Scientific or physical realities may guide our actions, but they cannot replace the deeper spiritual joy that comes from helping others or saving lives. Without this, life becomes a failed experience.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust” may be true for our physical bodies, but spiritually, there is a different story. We all experience doubts, and instead of following the political ambitions of our belonging groups, we should come down to earth and live in the present. We owe nothing to anyone, including God, except to live responsibly. What are you doing for God in return for the life you’ve been given?

You cannot live for what was or what will be because both are not physical realities. All we have are our present moments where we can make a difference. Life has never been about what was or will be; it has always been about our living years. As individuals, we must act like CEOs, reading the politics behind social conformity. If you find yourself committing extreme actions in the name of your group, you are no different than a worker bee following hormonal impulses.

As human beings, we are born into an era of equal rights, and it is our responsibility to rise above our political and physical influences. If we live only physically, our spiritual side shrinks, no matter our religion, race, or gender. You are born with an atom of autonomy, and it is up to you to nurture and feed your spiritual side.

Time is running out for all of us. Remove the politics of belonging from your belief systems before it’s too late. We are not just physical beings—we are whole human beings with spiritual dimensions. To become a complete human being, we must understand both our physical and spiritual influences.

Since I don’t view the ego as something simple or easily understood, I see it as a double-edged sword. I believe that God’s good work is carried out through an individual’s physicality. In other words, you must put in real effort to get what you want—meaning you need to physically take action before asking for God’s help. Even Allama Iqbal said, and I quote:

“KHUDI KO KAR BULAND ITANA KAY HER TUQDEER SAY PEHLAY, KHUDA BUNDAY SAY KHUD POOCHAY, BTAA TARY RAZA KIYA HAY.”
“BRING YOUR EGO TO SUCH HEIGHTS THAT, BEFORE WRITING YOUR FATE, GOD COMES DOWN TO CONSULT YOU”… END QUOTE.

If our physicality is that important, we should maintain self-respect and self-esteem as human beings. Yes, we are mortal and dependent on God for oxygen and life-giving circumstances, but at the same time, we are the ones who translate spirituality into physical action. As I said, we give life to good through our choices, driven by our spiritual side. If you believe your existence is purely physical, you’ll likely adhere to the “ashes to ashes, dust to dust” view. But with our “atom of autonomy”—our spiritual side—we transcend that. Yes, the body returns to dust, but our autonomy suggests that we are more than just dirt; we are like beautiful flowers that bloom, spreading beauty and fragrance regardless of how short the bloom lasts. Just as a flower blossoms and brings joy, we come into the world to spread what God has blessed us with.

The idea that we are irrelevant might seem noble, but it is fundamentally wrong and politically motivated. It’s been designed to strip individuals of their self-importance, self-respect, and self-esteem. When someone is weak and vulnerable, they seek strength from belonging to groups and may even believe that all power lies within those groups. Yet, these groups depend on individual physicality just as much as God does. This is why religious societies often have higher crime rates than secular ones. The “ego of I” has never worked alone—we all depend on things like oxygen, favorable circumstances, and a healthy body, which are completely out of our control. So, we don’t work alone. There is a direct connection between God and the individual, allowing things to be accomplished physically.

If we view ourselves as purely physical entities, we align ourselves with other creatures. However, our spiritual side has been undermined by political religions for a reason. Humanity thrives because every job involves individuals helping each other. Yes, we get paid, but others help us along the way. So, the ego associated with “I” should be understood and respected by all of us. As individuals, we physically fulfill each other’s prayers. Think about it: what happens to God and the devil if human beings don’t exist? Without us, good and bad things wouldn’t happen because there would be no one to benefit from or suffer from them.

We are all taught pictures of life because we are all raised in different schools of thought. What happens after death is a mystery that no one has been able to explain in physical terms. Therefore, we have to accept and believe in these pictures, even though they belong to the realm of assumptions. Remember, we all have to die to find out what happens after death. The education we receive from our groups may seem real, but they all belong to a metaphorical zone and can’t be explained physically. Real, tangible life happens only during our living years. You may believe in heaven and hell or a carrot-and-stick philosophy, but that is political. To keep people in line, fear and greed are often tied to religion, but self-regulation should stem from a love of God and a deep understanding of our humanity.

Without physicality, things don’t work well, so it’s crucial to understand that a prayer must be physically fulfilled to be meaningful. Learning the business of mortal life is essential. If a flower blooms and then vanishes, it doesn’t mean it’s meaningless. It carries wisdom. Flowers can teach us about our mortality—they bloom without worrying about how long they will last. Similarly, we should stop worrying about the past or the future and focus on the present. Spread your fragrance and beauty, regardless of your mortality. You are the most important part of this holy picture because, without you, nothing meaningful can happen physically. Even God can be lost if human beings aren’t there to physically fulfill each other’s prayers.

If a flower doesn’t understand its own beauty, it disrespects itself. The same goes for human beings. If we think we came from dirt, are dirt, and will return to dirt, I strongly oppose that. We each carry a Godly essence and spiritual beauty. As beings with autonomy, we have a spiritual side that should be appreciated by our own eyes. Our importance, relevance, self-respect, and self-esteem have been and will continue to be the foundation of both spiritual and physical human evolution. We are often taught to disrespect ourselves and others because of group politics, which calls for this for the sake of political control.

In terms of evolution, we must always keep our mortality in mind. If you get caught in the race for success, you might forget your limited time. Our evolution must be in rhythm not only with ourselves individually but in balance with all aspects of life. For instance, to become a good person, you must control your animal desires and evolve spiritually. Similarly, you must control your evolutionary drive as well. As mortal beings, we know our time is limited, so while it may seem natural to pursue endless growth, we must balance that pursuit with the knowledge of our mortality. Blindly following this evolutionary drive can lead to discontentment.

Happiness and contentment don’t always mix well with the knowledge of our mortality, but the responsibility still falls on our mortal shoulders. No matter how far you climb in life, if you don’t address your genetic urges, you may end up feeling that nothing is enough. Understanding and mastering these urges is crucial to collecting the treasures that are meant for you in this life. You must not only control your animal desires but also harness your evolutionary urges to become a balanced human being. You must overcome both personal and political influences and embrace spiritual truth to understand the physical and political forces around you. These influences have shaped you since childhood, impacting not only your mind but also your endocrine system. It’s not easy to rise above them, but if you are honest with yourself, you can overcome them.

Start by questioning yourself, then move on to question your politics of belonging to groups, humanity as a whole, your religious leaders, and even your relationship with God. It can be confusing, but as long as you remain spiritually honest, you won’t get lost in half-truths or incomplete knowledge.

How Have Spiritual Systems Like Religions Lost Their Credibility in Today’s World?

When a concept like equal human rights emerges, the need for unbiased justice becomes overwhelmingly clear. So, where did things go wrong? The answer lies in the fusion of politics with spiritual systems, which taints even the best that humanity has to offer. For thousands of years, we’ve been killing each other, and this is because we made a fundamental mistake: we diminished the individual, rendering the human being irrelevant within our holy frameworks and political structures. Even the most educated among us avoid asking these difficult questions.

Politically, we’ve removed the individual from their rightful place and instead elevated God, the Devil, and Big Brother as the primary forces of power. In doing so, we’ve stripped religion of its spirituality and governing systems of their justice. Yet, logically, God, the Devil, and Big Brother cannot function unless individuals convert their desires into physical actions. Imagine if there were no people—what would happen to our towns, to humanity, Big Brother, God, and the Devil?

If spirituality cannot be converted into physical actions, neither good nor bad can take a meaningful or physical form. God and the spiritual realm, aside from Big Brother, cannot be labeled as politically biased, prejudiced, or unjust. When you tie your political biases to God and present them as spiritual truth, you commit a spiritual crime. You imply that God is biased, but God cannot be for some and not for all.

Think of the human body as a metaphor: it cannot discriminate against its own cells, no matter which organ they belong to. The problem isn’t with God, humanity, or spirituality—it’s with the politics of group belonging. Politics strips individuals of their free will and diminishes their value, even in their own eyes. As a result, believers who try to control everything are, in effect, thinking for God. If you truly believe that God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then why resist humanity’s progress?

Our belief systems were meant to be the medicine for our souls, but the politics of belonging have turned them into poison. Instead of benefiting from our faith, we go to war over it. If you believe that God is in control, then look around—see the progress humanity has made. This should open your spiritual eyes to the fact that God’s will is involved in every action of the individual and in humanity’s evolution.

Religious people often claim that humans are responsible for everything, yet they simultaneously believe that God is in control. Why do they hold this contradictory belief? In reality, a person’s very breath is beyond their control. To me, God and the individual are like two wires needed to light up a bulb—you can’t illuminate anything with just one wire.

If you believe that evolution is godless, then you’re living in darkness, unable to see the contributions of human beings to God’s plans. Yet, many still argue that medical advancements like blood transfusions, artificial insemination, and stem cell research are wrong and godless. At the same time, some get stuck in the pursuit of scientific knowledge, mistaking the stream for the ocean of ultimate truth. Without experiencing the untarnished joy of love and bravery that comes from having a belief system, we lose the ability to transcend the limitations imposed by our mortality.

The importance of balancing different streams of knowledge is crucial for us mortals. By obsessively focusing on empirical facts alone, we rob ourselves of the joy, happiness, and contentment that life offers, especially as we age. Our evolution is connected to knowledge, so if you confine yourself within rigid boundaries of thought, you’re not truly following God’s plan. Remember, all boundaries are human-made, designed for political control.

God created us like an ocean or space, infinite yet encapsulated in a single drop. But political religions and governing systems want to confine the individual within prescribed limits. Humanity has always resisted these boundaries, defying them through every significant human achievement, from blood transfusions to stem cell research. Yet, throughout history, religions have cast blame, even going so far as to throw virgins over cliffs to appease God.

Today, countries like Iran continue to perpetuate the same ideology, killing innocent people. America isn’t without fault either, grappling with issues like racism, abortion, and immigration—problems rooted in group politics, not individual spirituality. Collectively, we remain unhappy and controlling due to our individual insecurities and disbelief in God. This discontent stems from our desire for control, an affliction rooted in group politics.

Let’s take a moment to consider life on a personal level. No matter what anyone says, none of us truly know what happens before or after death. So, everything related to that knowledge remains metaphorical. Logically, we should appreciate the opportunity to live and experience life physically. Life is meant to be lived individually, with whatever circumstances we’ve been given. Like a flower, we should bloom and give what we have, regardless of the challenges or limitations of mortality.

Now, imagine this scenario: you’re driving in your nice car, feeling down after a breakup, and you pass a homeless person begging for change. You ignore them, missing a moment of spiritual teaching. This behavior reveals a need for control, which ultimately robs you of happiness and contentment. You may live as you please, but to me, that would be a life lived unsuccessfully. A life without happiness and contentment is a hollow experience. If you’re a scientist stuck in a lab without ever experiencing love, joy, or contentment, you may die educated, but not wise.

If you see someone in a wheelchair laughing joyfully, they are teaching you something not found in books but written between the lines of life itself. Yet, you remain blind to it because you’re focused on controlling your life as if it will last forever. You fail to appreciate what you have because you want things to be the way you envision them. Ask a billionaire on their deathbed if they truly appreciated their blessings.

Yes, life comes with risks, and you can get hurt stepping outside your boundaries. But remember, you can also get hurt in your own home, like Nancy Pelosi’s husband during a home invasion, or like Ukrainians during a national invasion. Sickness can strike from within, as it did with Steve Jobs. The point is, life must be lived as it comes, in whatever era and circumstances you find yourself. Collect every bit of love, happiness, and contentment along the way—don’t let fear or the control imposed by group politics freeze you.

If you make your life smaller than it is, you’re only hurting yourself. So, don’t forget to bloom like that flower—spread your fragrance and beauty as you were meant to, regardless of your mortality. As an individual, if you were raised to control, that may not be your fault, but as an adult, you are responsible for all aspects of your life, like the CEO of your personal journey. That’s what you’ve been prepared for, so take charge of your life and learn to balance all the knowledge you’ve accumulated.

Always remember, you are not a computer or the data it processes. You are the operator, the one who brings forth God’s beauty and fragrance into the world. We are not here merely to exist; we are here to convert spirituality into physical actions. We are the third equation that makes both good and bad happen in the physical world.

Interestingly, our “atom of autonomy,” or our godlike abilities, stems from this unique human phenomenon. If you view life solely as a physical entity, we would still be living in caves or forests like our so-called cousins, the chimps, and other primates. Without our spiritual side, we would remain at the same level as other creatures. Sure, you can build bigger muscles through regular use, but our real strength lies in and arises from our “atom of autonomy,” or our spiritual essence. Spiritually, we are in a class of our own, so don’t limit yourself to being merely a physical entity like other creatures. We even have the ability to override our animal urges and physical, hormonal influences. We don’t respond instinctively like other creatures when nature calls—we decide whether to follow our natural instincts or to override them.

Interestingly, we also have the ability to challenge our genetics. If you wish to explore, explore yourself to discover what you are truly made of. As I said, we are the “computer operators,” using our bodies and installed data to navigate through this mortal life. If you limit yourself to a purely physical existence, you reduce yourself to a computer operated by your social groups rather than by you. If you believe everything you’re taught, you simply become data, yet you were designed to transcend those installed identities. If you believe in your evolving nature as your true identity, you will eventually discover your real reality.

Now, ask yourself—are you the CEO of your life? If so, you must learn to manage all departments of your life simultaneously. Becoming the head of just one department diminishes your role from what you were designed for. You fail as a CEO when you hand over your responsibilities to your social group, demoting yourself to a part of the machine instead of being the machine God intended you to be. Remember, it’s not God or nature limiting you—it’s you, seeking comfort in the political arms of your group. If you compromise your true identity, it’s related to your personal politics. This has nothing to do with God or your real reality, but everything to do with your group’s political agenda.

If you can truly understand your “atom of autonomy”—the fragrance and beauty within—you can solve many of your spiritually related belief system issues. For instance, by gaining more insight into your thought processes and their related powers, you could at least recognize the “dead dogs” in your life or, at best, personally find the solutions. Always remember that human thoughts can produce real, physical effects. For example, the thought of losing control over something can create fear, stress, and even anxiety. Depending on how susceptible you are, not everyone can be affected in the same way. For instance, a hypnotherapist can only hypnotize certain individuals who are more susceptible than others. These differences in susceptibility need to be explored. If we don’t strive to learn more, how will we discover more?

Most of our discoveries come from individuals who seek, and they deserve recognition. As groups, we often discourage individuals who question the boundaries of the norm, especially in matters of religion. Religious societies, with their strict traditions, customs, rituals, and rules, often discourage seeking. Sometimes, educated people must leave conservative societies to explore and excel. Since evolution depends heavily on seeking, if we don’t exercise our brains and muscles, we can’t grow or progress. If you ask everything from God, it reflects the religious education we all receive while growing up in conservative societies.

Think about it this way: if a thought can cause an anxiety attack, it also has the power to counter it. Meditation can help change the direction of your thoughts. Similarly, if a thought can stimulate sexual responses, this shows the real, physical power of human thinking. Sure, some of us are better at multitasking, but typically, one thought dominates at a time. Meditation exemplifies this, although it works better for some than others, which is why I believe it’s a form of symptom relief. Nonetheless, its growing popularity worldwide indicates that people need even symptom relief, as stress levels are increasingly spiraling out of control. Since we can no longer hide behind the concepts of God and the Devil as we did in the past, we must find new solutions. The reasons some individuals are more susceptible to thought-induced anxiety or relief than others can and should be explored.

Remember, responsibility brings stress, so we must manage our lives like the CEOs we are. If you can create a positive mental image to reduce your anxiety—or create anxiety by thinking about out-of-control situations—it means you are the key to managing it all. That is why, regardless of the stresses, you must become the CEO of your personal life.

If your “triangles” are flipped, only you can correct them. Sure, you can disconnect while meditating or medicating, but once you stop, your thought process will bring you back to your regular world. Symptom relief, no matter how effective or popular, is still just that—relief from symptoms. If you take a multipronged approach, you might find the real “dead dog” of your problems. Thoughts are usually the product of the education we grow up with, and our powerful, sometimes out-of-control, sense of belonging plays a large role in that. For example, if you lose your personal identity to your group and fail to respect your individual fiber, you may have low or no self-esteem because you believe you aren’t worthy of a direct connection to God. You may believe you are irrelevant on your own and must remain connected to your group.

This mindset places your sense of belonging at the top of your triangle, which destroys your individuality, as your ability to override your natural instincts and genetics has been taken away. In reality, you were created as the CEO of your life, with your senses beneath you, meaning you can sway your “pendulum” at will or keep it centered by making conscious choices. With an out-of-control sense of belonging, you put all your energy into fitting in or impressing others, dying with the desire to be admired by your group. If you don’t realize this is a core problem, you’ve been brainwashed. It’s time to take charge, become the CEO, and place your sense of belonging at the bottom, where it belongs alongside your sense of freedom. If your triangle is flipped, you can’t fix it through meditation or medication. You must find your true identity, rooted in your personal “atom of autonomy,” become the CEO, and manage your sense of belonging appropriately.

Remember, you control that swinging pendulum to create balance. Your group won’t do that for you—because as a balanced individual, you are a thorn in their political side, especially when you start to call a spade a spade. You are the CEO who needs to understand the “dead dogs” or causes of your problems. While symptom relief strategies may help, addressing the root cause—the “dead dog”—is the real solution. You are not a genetically programmed creature like a worker bee or warrior ant; you can question your sense of belonging to find some relief.

Most human individuals are decent, but some are more susceptible and insecure than others. In some cases, their personal judgments are influenced by their group-related insecurities. They learn to use others for personal needs but are, unfortunately, equally susceptible to being used by their groups. Logically, their personal weaknesses and insecurities stem from these political influences. Individually, we must understand why we were created as the CEOs of our lives. A good CEO neither uses nor is used by others, especially regarding personal and spiritual principles.

We must be vigilant about the data that is installed in us. Remember, if you use people, you will eventually lose self-respect. And if you allow yourself to be used by your group, it’s because you’ve lost your godly fragrance and beauty, which is the foundation of your self-esteem.

Let’s start this discussion with an opinion: regardless of your religion or personal beliefs, life has never been, is not, and will never be about what lies beyond the cliff of faith or after death. It has always been, is, and will always be about our living years because we are needed to convert spirituality into physical actions during our time on Earth. Just ask a blooming flower about the nature of mortal beauty. It blooms to be beautiful regardless of its short life. All it needs is a couple of appreciative eyes, and in the case of human beings, we need our own two appreciative eyes to live our mortal lives successfully. This wisdom of mortality is all around us; we just need to embrace it individually to find happiness. If you feel fearful or unhappy, try viewing life through the wisdom taught to us by a flower. While many religions preach being good to attain heaven after death, they often ask for blind faith when it comes to physical explanations. There is a motive to keep individuals in line. Regardless of the picture they want you to believe, it is still about your living years, not about life beyond the cliff of faith.

Recently, I watched a CNN documentary titled “Gupta Amazed by Biologist’s ‘Ghost’ Heart.” The inventor featured, Doris Taylor, is an LGBTQ individual who was expelled from college simply because she was gay. When it comes to human innovation and knowledge that benefits humanity, such factors should supersede the sexuality or character of the source. I believe that humans never work alone; the body, oxygen, and favorable circumstances are not exclusively within the control of an individual. Thus, there is always a larger picture involved. While some may say that God is responsible for everything, I argue that God cannot do everything without our help. The truth lies somewhere in between. A light bulb will not light up unless both wires are connected, so if you argue that there must be a Devil because we can’t attribute bad things to God, I would say this is where we become the third equation. Without our physical actions on both good and bad, nothing would happen. This topic may not be easy to discuss, but it must be addressed, especially in an era focused on equal human rights. If we don’t recognize our place, we will never become spiritually responsible, regardless of our religious affiliation. Human evolution is ingrained in our genes; we simply cannot stop evolving, no matter what our religions may try to suppress. An insecure person might stay in a pond like a frog to feel secure, but genetically, we are not designed to be frogs. All our man-made boundaries—whether based on race, gender, nation, religion, or individual insecurities—are present until we collectively take the next step into a new paradigm.

Look around: today, things have changed and are continuing to change progressively. I want to see the impact human knowledge has on humanity as a whole. For instance, our religious beliefs have made us aware of the need to rise above other animals. Yet, paradoxically, when it comes to our differences, we often become worse than most animals. Where did things go wrong? Why do we become so brutal and kill each other over our metaphorical realities? Why can’t we simply explain ourselves? Often, the political interests of our belonging groups do not align with the changing individual and the times. Everything we have achieved or evolved has been questioned extensively, but unfortunately, we do not question our religions simply because they suggest that questioning individuals are somehow un-Godly or not part of the divine world. Let me be clear: any human knowledge, whether in technology, medicine, or theology, should be able to make a physical difference in people’s lives; otherwise, it will eventually lose its relevance. Before discussing the documentary, I need to establish a connection based on common sense. Humanity will always have metaphorical realities, which do have their place in our lives, but without physical results, they lose their importance and relevance. In today’s world, humanity calls for justice based on equal individual rights. A justice system should be founded on solid, physical principles. Since we can’t prove God’s physical existence with repeatable results like science, God’s place should be in our hearts, not in our courts. Societies ruled on equal justice will function better than those based on divisive politics and religion due to their prejudicial and discriminatory policies.

Non-political spirituality yields physically positive results. Bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination-based politics usually favor a specific group of people, which has nothing to do with God. Death and destruction have always marked political religions. Regardless of our religious affiliations, we all have spiritual responsibilities to aid humanity. You should not claim a connection to God if you work against those whose help has been proven beneficial to humanity. Look critically at the politics of belonging, and you will see how people have even abused God. If you are politically abusing God, should you be punished by God? Upon critical examination, you will see the disrespect towards religious beliefs. Does this mean that God is not present in religions? Why are those connected to science able to bring more spiritually meaningful advancements than religions have ever achieved?

If a gay individual can save lives, she is contributing to God’s work. Shouldn’t she be granted a higher place on the spiritual ladder than those who use politics to achieve their goals, despite claiming to be straight but crooked? Consider individuals like Sir Frederick G. Banting, who, along with his followers, invented insulin; Charles R. Drew, the American surgeon who developed blood transfusion; and Doris Taylor, who has the potential to save millions of lives. Yes, Doris Taylor, who was expelled from college simply because she was gay. Religious people deemed her spiritually inferior. I would place these three individuals above all the bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination in world history. That is the spiritual height that bigots, prejudiced, or discriminatory individuals can only dream of but never reach. You may adhere to your religious beliefs and honor your prophets, but try providing real-time physical results like blood transfusion and insulin to keep people alive. These kinds of genuinely impactful spiritual results are bringing more science into our spiritual systems. Consider those who deny even blood transfusions, despite the countless lives saved by it. Looking at the history of our religions, you find death and destruction in the name of God, which must be justified before judging those who brought lifesaving results to humanity. Personally, I believe that if you help save lives and reduce human suffering, you are performing the ultimate spiritual job. Imagine a weighing scale held by the blindfolded Lady of Justice. Place all the bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination on one side and three individuals—Doris Taylor, Sir Frederick G. Banting, and Charles R. Drew—on the other. Their contributions to humanity would outweigh the former, tilting the scale in their favor. These three individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, achieve spiritually meaningful results far surpassing those who cannot translate the divine or spiritual world into physical reality. People like Doris Taylor build hope and bring humanity where science and spirituality merge to complement each other, rather than turning scientific work into Devil’s work. You can think about religion, politics, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination as much as you want, but to me, anyone working to physically help humanity is praying practically. So, they are more important than those merely shooting their arrows in the air. God does not need your bowing down or sacrifices; God needs you to fulfill your spiritual purpose by making God exist physically. Your physical actions fulfill someone’s prayers and are the essence of human life needed by God. If someone can create a new heart from a patient’s cells or keep someone alive with insulin shots or blood transfusions, they are dealing with everyday physical realities. Logically, they fulfill a lot of prayers for those seeking help from God. Show me some physically positive results from a political religion, other than taking lives and oppressing people to the point where death tolls become unaccountable. Recent news shows women in Iran burning their hijabs. Remember, God is supposed to be a spiritual entity, and a belief system is something a human individual adopts optionally. Because their foundation is based on metaphorical realities, it’s all about the love of God to benefit their mortal life. The problem is that politicians have used God to control their populations. I must repeat that Googling the crime rates worldwide did not present a favorable picture for religious societies. Higher crime rates than secular ones are a slap in the face to religious societies. Ethics, morals, traditions, customs, and rituals have their place in human societies, but they cannot be counted as laws in today’s world. Enforcing them as laws on everyone, regardless of their belief in God, is simply wrong. Especially in this day and age, this can become a problem for society because the world is watching. If a belief system adheres to pure spirituality and equal justice for all, people would learn to self-regulate and refrain from committing crimes against each other. Forceful and politically motivated religious beliefs eventually fail, as seen worldwide, because they do not align with the present-day trends of equal human rights. Tell that to the women burning their hijabs or those killed by the morality police. This clearly indicates that a religious belief enforced by force to control the population robs it of its spirituality. Unless an individual understands simple spiritual principles like treating others as they would like to be treated, the crime rate in society will not decrease, regardless of the extremity of their religious beliefs. If individuals become spiritually aware enough to envision themselves on the receiving end of their actions before committing them, things can change. Otherwise, society cannot afford a police officer for everyone. Logically, you cannot enforce a religious belief as a justice system because it is purely based on metaphorical realities. Spiritually, it all comes down to blind justice, nothing more. So, if you live in a melting pot society where people believe in different things, a religious justice system may be problematic.

As we continue to evolve, our spiritual and ethical beliefs must align with our technological advancements. Acknowledge the physical results of human efforts and celebrate those who make tangible contributions to humanity. Re-examine your beliefs and how they contribute to the greater good. By doing so, you align your actions with a higher spiritual purpose, fulfilling your role in the grand scheme of life.

Individually, we have often been reduced to an irrelevant part of the holy picture. Yet, interestingly, humans possess the atom of autonomy, supplying the essence of physicality to both God and the Devil simultaneously, making them relevant. What is wrong with this picture? Why are our societies enamored with metaphorical realities like love and God, yet fail to value human physicality and its importance? We have countless books, movies, and special effects dedicated to these popular subjects. We are fascinated by Harry Potter, Dracula, witchcraft, haunted houses, and magical wonderlands. Our metaphorical realities—whether they involve the superiority of our religions, races, nations, or the stories of God and the Devil—dominate our societies. All the disputing ideas, bickering, wars, and the unaccountable death toll stem from this. Yet, the respect and responsibilities associated with our physical realities are often left far behind.

Consider this: We pray and worship God, hate the Devil, and avoid taking responsibility for our actions, despite being the ones with personal autonomy. We live lives akin to parasites, constantly receiving, asking, and taking, but not reciprocating. If we were to reciprocate honestly, the world could be free of hunger and poverty. Just look at our war budgets and the creation of billionaires—this alone can put things into perspective. Logically, God’s role is to provide what we don’t have control over, like oxygen, water, and favorable life circumstances for internal and external health. Beyond that, it is up to us to care for humanity and everything related to it.

Open your inner eyes and observe what is happening around the world. Why is honest reciprocation missing? Aren’t we the physical side of God? If you start asking these questions, you will find the answers within yourself.

Our politicians have flipped our holy triangle, placing God and the Devil at the top and human beings at the bottom. Without human physicality, everything falls apart. Politics thrives on individual insecurities, so we cling to our groups and metaphorical realities more than our physical ones. Politicians exploit these insecurities for their benefit, making individuals seem irrelevant. Most religions, ideologies, kingdoms, dictatorships, and autocracies rely on human weaknesses. Democracy, with its emphasis on equal human rights, is the only system that brings us closer to spirituality. Other systems are designed to make individuals inferior for political control. Politicians have further manipulated us to feel dependent on our groups for security, stripping us of self-worth and esteem. When a significant portion of the population buys into this, questioning individuals are often shunned or punished. As a result, we lose our self-respect and self-esteem, becoming akin to parasites, dependent on our groups and God, rather than being the physical hands of God.

If you look at it with a sense of responsibility and honest reciprocation, you will see its presence in all our relationships. As productive beings, losing our sense of importance can be harmful. We seek security from our groups, but as mortals, this is highly questionable. It is not acceptable for us not to use our God-given powers. Our free will, sense of justice, sense of self, and duties of honest reciprocation are essential.

So, why have we lost our self-respect and self-esteem? Why don’t we become what God intended for us? Remember, we are human beings, not creatures that latch onto a host. Each of us is capable of honest reciprocation, barring illness. Since God does not need anything from us, our reciprocation fulfills the prayers of those who seek help from God. This means we are the ones converting spirituality into physical actions. If health issues inhibit us from helping, we fall into the receiving end of help. If we are healthy but choose not to help, we are taking without reciprocating, becoming akin to parasitic creatures rather than human beings. Believing it’s smart to take and take is against our atom of autonomy. Going against ourselves can be a curse because internal conflicts rob us of satisfaction, happiness, and contentment. As mortals, we cannot afford to spend our lives in this mode. A human life without satisfaction and happiness is a failed mortal experience.

If you seek satisfaction and happiness but spend your life securing things you will eventually leave behind, you must go within to find peace with your atom of autonomy. Ultimately, you have the answers within yourself. What goes on within you cannot be helped by outside sources, so you must create peace with your atom of autonomy before it’s too late.

I don’t label human beings as animals, but rather as physical beings with a strong spiritual side. If we follow our politics of belonging without questioning, we end up aligning ourselves with other creatures, despite our unique human status. If you don’t find this unacceptable, consider your real blessings and make individual decisions. Understanding the power of the politics of belonging and its impact is crucial. Each of us carries the exclusive atom of autonomy and significant personal responsibilities. Recognizing this knowledge is key to understanding our importance and true selves. Since our reality has been and continues to be robbed by the politics of belonging, we need spiritual awareness and understanding of what it means to be human. A torn individual becomes confused and dependent on their belonging societies. Solving this puzzle by recognizing individual importance is the purpose of this blog.

Personally, knowing our importance and relevance is crucial, especially for understanding ourselves individually. I will use an extraordinary quote from Dr. Allama Iqbal, a revolutionary poet:

“Khuddi ko kar bulund itanaa kay her taqdeer say pehlay Khuda bunday say khud poochy btaa tari raza kya hay.”

He says: “Raise your ego so high that before writing your fate, God comes down to you and asks, ‘What do you agree with?'”

Regardless of conventional wisdom or what religions, nations, or people claim, I believe God is for all, not just for some. Claiming God for a select few would make God prejudiced and discriminatory, just like us. You cannot make God what God is not. Using God politically would be a spiritual crime.

Understanding good and bad is not exclusive to collectives; it’s an individual matter. Politics often forces individuals to conform to collective beliefs without questioning. Since we are all blessed with free will, all responsibilities rest on our personal shoulders. Before committing a crime or following an order from our belonging group, we must make a personal choice. Whether it’s good or bad is secondary; not using our free will is the first spiritual crime. For thousands of years, belonging groups have overseen us. However, for the first time in history, individuals have the internet, providing a broader perspective. It’s no longer easy to blame entire races, genders, nations, religions, or even God, as these can be challenged globally. Blaming entire groups is wrong, prejudicial, and discriminatory, and does not align with the era of equal human rights. You can only be good or bad as an individual, as you made the choice. Prejudice and counter-prejudice come from the education provided by your group, but you still cannot blame the group because you are a human capable of making individual choices. Your upbringing and life circumstances may influence your choices, but you are the one who turns those influences into reality. Judging entire groups based on an individual’s actions is legally wrong. Today, courts charge individuals, not their entire families or groups, unless proven otherwise. National and religious levels should follow the same principle, but they often don’t. Thus, wars continue.

If you can clean up your belief system by removing installed prejudices and discrimination, you can overcome the influences of political belonging. We are not genetically programmed to follow our groups; we are born as individuals with all their perks and duties. By recognizing our atom of autonomy, we can understand our true importance and spiritual nature. A torn individual becomes dependent on their belonging societies. Solving this puzzle involves recognizing human importance and individual self-worth.

As beings with the atom of autonomy, you are potentially the CEO of your life. Don’t remain stuck in the same tunnel humanity has been in for thousands of years. Change yourself at a personal level to bring about change for yourself and the greater good. You can influence others to change but must first believe in and have convictions about your own importance and relevance. Develop self-respect and self-esteem to speak spiritual truth, regardless of your religion. Any belief system preaching exclusivity is politically tainted, prejudicial, and discriminatory. Choosing to be good or bad is one thing; making God either good or bad is another. If your education implicates God in bad actions, it cannot be true, regardless of what race, nation, or religion says. Take pride, elevate your self-esteem, and become the CEO of your life. Your significance makes God significant and almighty. Ask someone fed by another human’s good heart. Spirituality means nothing until it is performed physically, and you are the one converting spiritual thoughts into actions. Politics of belonging that diminishes individual importance only benefits a few. Believing in your irrelevance insults both the creation and the creator. Dive within to find spiritual peace instead of falling for the politics of belonging. Being stuck in a stream pouring into an ocean can tear you apart, so grow and flow into the ocean of your personal spirituality. Evolve and adapt to find solutions to your problems rather than looking backward. Choose the divine reality of being spiritual over political prejudice and discrimination, and avoid implicating God in politics, as it leads to doing devilish things while connecting them to God. This is a total disaster for your personal spirituality.

In our political world, we often let our groups claim that they are more important and relevant than the individual. They assert that they are helping individuals feel secure, and therefore, individuals owe them political loyalty. However, if we examine this logically, we see that a group is composed of individuals, and all our great ideas originate from individuals. This has always been, is, and will always be the case, due to our inherent autonomy. Ideas come from individuals, but groups often co-opt these ideas for their own political agendas. If ideas originate from individuals, then spirituality is directly connected between God and the individual. In nature, everything happens from the bottom up, not from the top down.

Until we learn to acknowledge and respect the individual, we will remain mired in political conflicts. Politically, gangs, groups, communities, races, nations, genders, and religions become the foundation of everything. Yet, the real and logical foundation of all these is a single human individual—who is the thread of the divine fabric. Even the concept of God originated with our prophets, who were human individuals. Interestingly, religious communities often downplay the significance of their individuals. Despite this, God and the Devil are placed on pedestals, disregarding the physical importance of the human individual. Political efforts have suppressed individuals to the extent that they come to believe in their own irrelevance, allowing their groups to undermine their self-esteem. As individuals, we are aware of our mortality and limited time, which can lead us to view our lives with low self-respect. Our political influences shape our perception of our personal lives. Regardless of our temporary nature, all responsibilities of spiritual existence rest on our individual shoulders. Even a flower understands mortality better than us, as it blooms and spreads its beauty regardless of its short lifespan.

Our education, era of birth, role in life, and susceptibility to social influences and imposed identities are personal matters. If you need to explore your inner self, don’t remain confined to your current stream of knowledge. Expand and evolve to become what God intended for you, not what your group wants you to be. Whether linked to genetics or not, our education and life circumstances play a strong role in shaping our personalities. Critically examine yourself to understand your place. Despite education and circumstances, we retain some natural traits that dictate whether we are more alpha or beta. By studying our reactions to various situations, we can gain insight into our nature. It may not always be scientifically proven, but we can change how we think and control our external behaviors regardless of our inner feelings. Our responses to life circumstances can reveal our nature, and if we feel different from others, we might become a thorn in the side of political leaders in our group. If your nature calls for a different sequence of traits, you must learn to navigate your mortal existence comfortably. Fitting in, impressing others, or seeking admiration from your group may lead to internal conflict. Not knowing yourself can result in an unfulfilled life, and since life is brief, you can’t afford to spend it in that state. A flower has no choice, but you do. Conforming to prescribed boundaries might not align with your true nature.

Regarding mortality, there is nothing personal; you can’t change the outcome through willpower or wisdom alone. Understanding your personal sequence is essential. While ego is often viewed negatively, it can also have positive effects when used appropriately. For example, if a father tells his son he will be a failure if he continues his current path, the son’s reaction will depend on his personal sequence. If he sees his father as an authority and gives up, the ego was not used effectively. However, if he takes the challenge personally and strives to prove his father wrong, the ego has worked to his advantage. Similarly, our personal journey may not match others’, and trying to fit in or impress others can lead to inner turmoil. Understanding yourself critically is crucial, as not knowing yourself may lead to a life of dissatisfaction. The choice is yours—don’t let a flower’s wisdom outshine your own.

Taking ego to the next level, it’s important to understand whether you are a victim of individual or collective ego. Japan, despite its size, survived a nuclear attack and emerged as one of the top economies in the world. In contrast, some communities drain the life out of their members by continually reminding them of past atrocities, paralyzing them. Depression can be a collective phenomenon influenced by political leaders who exploit individuals’ sense of irrelevance. By intentionally stopping natural healing and evolution, those in power can depress individuals and communities.

Reflecting on yourself critically allows you to understand your personal urges, conflicting education, and individual responses. For example, hypnotherapy shows how the mind can create physical sensations or health issues from thin air. The placebo effect is a testament to this phenomenon. Meditation and hypnosis, based on creating physical realities from imagination, can influence individual behavior and belief systems. If you can create problems from thin air, you can also manifest solutions. Our religions can drive individuals to extremism, but ultimately, we must navigate our personal journey with awareness. Human life is a personal project; finding happiness and contentment requires understanding and embracing your individual path.

In conclusion, the merging of metaphorical and physical realities is essential. Prioritizing metaphorical realities over physical ones can hinder progress. Human evolution and achievements, such as space travel and medical advances, come from our ability to imagine and create. Scientific discoveries, like blood transfusions and vaccines, have saved lives, whereas religious leaders’ influence has often led to death. Understanding that metaphorical realities should not overshadow physical realities allows for a more comprehensive approach to addressing life’s challenges. We must evolve, use our free will, and take responsibility for our actions. By doing so, we can achieve the elusive peace humanity has long sought.

Remember, a human being is a note written on the blank sheet of divine paper. Without those empty spaces, music would not be harmonious, but without the notes, the sheet would remain blank. It’s like positive and negative wires; with one, you can’t light up the light bulb. If you don’t speak when it’s your turn, you become a monk or believe that God is doing everything, meaning you see yourself as an irrelevant entity. This results in your personal sheet remaining blank while those who choose to play their melodious music of life move forward. In essence, the world of a blank sheet is not the world created for us human beings. If you want proof, try removing human beings from the picture and see what happens to God and the Devil. They would not only become blank sheets but would also become neutral, losing even their metaphorical meanings. Without human physicality, there would be no concept of good or bad. Our holy triangle has been politically flipped by elite politicians, whether you like it or not; that is the devil in detail.

If the population allows, movements like the Taliban could emerge anywhere in the world. Remember Iran’s experience and the recent threat faced by Americans. They have just reversed the abortion law to test the waters, and now it’s a matter of time to see if their democracy survives. Conservative populations are loud, passionate, and extreme, often going to war with opposing groups. Unfortunately, these are the main ingredients for militancy, and there are more guns in the hands of people than there are people themselves. Logically, differing opinions are healthy for social growth and evolution, but extreme beliefs in our abstract realities often override others’ physical realities. Passionate, emotional actions by individuals frequently divide nations. We are approaching two hundred nations worldwide, yet if you look at the earth, there are no physical lines; rather, it’s divided by politically inspired lines. Global warming, extreme weather, internet crimes, and modernization of warfare call for humanity to work together or face unsolvable problems. Universal values like equal human rights are becoming more popular, and we are increasingly aware of the need to work together. However, nationalism and extreme religious beliefs still pose a major threat to our stability. The politics of belonging to groups remains very popular, so despite my optimism, humanity is not yet on the right path or stable. Therefore, I suggest not putting all your eggs in the basket of what was or what will be; instead, focus on what is. Unlike what we have been taught by religions and nations, our lives are a journey-based venture, especially individually. The reason behind much of this preaching is to use human beings, God, and the Devil for political purposes. Remember, if you individually sacrifice things, someone will benefit from those sacrifices, and it will not be you, God, or even the Devil because your politicians are there to take it all. What lies beyond the cliff of faith may be an interesting topic for discussion, but since no one really knows or comes back to tell us what is beyond our physical realities, we can’t definitively say our destination is heaven or hell. In a journey-based philosophy, what you do is crucial, especially when it goes against your atom of autonomy. This may create heaven or hell in your living years. Therefore, my focus is to stay as close to physical realities as possible. Believing and thinking about what is beyond death is one thing, but killing over it is another.

Personally, I would not become an extremist on either side because we are evolving entities, and we are not finished evolving yet. On one side, scientists propose believing in a marble that exploded fourteen billion years ago and is still expanding. On the other side, religions claim God created the universe, so we should return to the era of our prophets to find the truth. The question remains: Where did the marble come from, and why did it explode? This means we are still exploring where we come from or where we are going. The problem is that without assumptions, there is no clear answer from either side. Today, scientists use major telescopes to see and claim that the universe was created by the Big Bang. Personally, rather than believing in this blindly, I question where the marble came from, why it exploded, and why it is expanding. Such questioning keeps me grounded in the present. I would not want to go backward or too far forward, compromising my present-day physical reality. I would not buy into anything sold to me that advocates killing and dying for life after life because I wouldn’t be part of the picture, at least not in physical form. What is most important to me is living comfortably in my mortal skin so that I can also allow others to live. If believing in spirituality makes me a better individual, then why can’t I benefit from it? If science plays a crucial role in my daily life, then I should benefit from that as well without delving into fourteen billion years ago and arguing passionately about it. Logically, you can’t change anything in the past of your physical life, nor can you know what the future holds for you without making assumptions, especially when it comes to life after death, without affecting your present living days. One might say that people would control themselves and not commit crimes out of fear and greed. However, that has not worked well, as crime rates show, and religious societies are not performing better than secular ones. To me, religious societies have something to ponder.

If spirituality removes fear and greed, you would not need a carrot-and-stick philosophy for control or regulation. You would self-regulate because you are not created like other creatures. You can control your animal urges due to your spiritual side, which sets you apart from other creatures. Interestingly, and unfortunately, crime rates in religious societies are not lower than in secular ones, suggesting that the carrot-and-stick philosophy, effective for training animals, does not work for humans. Proof is in the pudding: if crime rates indicate a lack of control among individuals, religious societies’ crime rates should be lower. If you are treated like an animal, as soon as the threat of the stick subsides, your animal side will resurface. By allowing your spiritual side to flourish, you would overcome the need for a carrot-and-stick approach to control social crimes. No society can afford to have a police officer for each individual, so we must all learn to self-regulate. If your personal greed for heaven or fear of hell keeps you in line, that is fine, but you are merely living your life as a destination-based story. Don’t you want to consider the journey? Where things physically matter for you and even God. That is where God really needs your physicality. Sure, you may live hoping to get everything you want, but if you think about when you are most meaningful to God, you will find that your physicality is required in the living moments of your life. You can only make choices while you are physically living, so put your logical reasoning into practice. Otherwise, others will do it for you, and those others will always have their political agendas. Make sure not to be abused, as your personal actions can create a living hell for you from within. Therefore, the responsibility for your actions rests on your shoulders, regardless of what you have been taught to believe or preached. Your group might say you will go to heaven, but that is something neither you nor your group knows for sure, just like a physical reality.

I am not committed to claiming my religion is superior to all others; I view all religions from an unbiased perspective to find spirituality and practical prayers as the measuring stick. Even as a child, I questioned everything, which often got me into trouble. I have always examined religions critically, whether they are mine or not. Looking at Islam critically, from its meanings to its spiritual content, everything is unmatched by others, but only if you exclude all the political content related to justice, ruling, and belonging. Is Islam immune to politics and corruption? Not at all. Like other religions, there are many sects within Islam. To me, spirituality and justice are the most important pillars of our lives, especially regarding our belief systems. They should be solidly based on physical realities and nothing but the truth, instead of the politics of belonging. Religion is not better because of what we believe in; it’s about what we do. If you pray five times a day but engage in dishonest practices like mixing water into milk or selling impure goods, it is not a sign of superiority but rather of spiritual weakness. When personal and business interests cross, if you do not follow what your prophet has taught, it means you have spiritual deficiencies. This can reveal how spiritually inclined you are or are not. If you are left behind due to honest reciprocation, it should not worry you because honest reciprocation removes the fears of mortality. Claiming that your religion is the best or how strictly you follow traditions, customs, rituals, or rules is not enough. What matters is how honestly you live. The purpose of religious belief is not to secure a place in heaven or hell after you die but to live honestly on the journey to the cliff of your faith. Always read between the lines of your preached knowledge to reach your own conclusions. I cannot base my metaphorical realities on my personal sense of justice and spiritual beliefs. For example, you cannot have a justice system that can be bought, whether by money or political influence; just look around the world and decide for yourself.

Spirituality simply cannot be confined to our group politics because justice and spirituality are universal, just like God. They belong to a world without the group politics of bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. Trying to confine God to your group politics will eventually ruin even God’s good reputation and image. If you use God to justify your group’s politics, you are taking an ocean and space and putting it in a boat floating on a stream of belonging. This can become a problem not only for the individual but for the community as well. Even God should be left out of political justifications. We all know that politics and religion are distinct, even though in practice they often intertwine. Sooner or later, if you are smart enough, you will know the political games within your religion. Even though I am inclined towards Islam, I do not become extreme in my belief or follow any political motives within it. I believe in doing good by all means and doing my part honestly. This is the right and best way to live. Do not let a political group, religious or secular, brainwash you with false promises or use you for their personal gains. Always make sure to stay close to physical realities and practicalities. If you choose to follow a particular path, do it with honesty and integrity. Think practically, and remember that the essence of living is to be your true self while navigating your journey.

Since a brainwashed individual cannot fully utilize what nature or God has provided, they are ripe for political manipulation. When emotions are out of control, a person becomes like a programmed machine or puppet, unable to think clearly. Especially concerning belonging groups, these groups have various tools to exploit weak and vulnerable individuals. Tactics range from guilt-tripping and shunning to setting examples through violence against those who question their authority. The politics of belonging are deeply rooted, even in our genetics, making it challenging for individuals to stand against their own groups. Loyalty to these groups often prevents individuals from reaching their full potential, such as becoming a CEO. This is a political strategy designed to keep even the most educated individuals under control, while calls for global cooperation and humanity’s collective action are increasingly urgent. Issues like human rights, the speed of the internet, global warming, and threats from nuclear and biological weaponry are real and pressing. These problems are visible in real time across the globe, and political tensions are rising due to these changing circumstances. Anything that threatens the status quo or the power of political elites can have severe consequences. Humanity is calling for individual evolution, which challenges the established group norms.

I firmly believe that all human knowledge should serve the greater good because all creeds, genders, nations, and religions are constantly evolving, albeit at different rates. Those comfortable within their current boundaries may resist change, while others push for rapid transformation. Remember, life is like a musical score, and if you resist change or seek it too eagerly, understanding your personal melody is key to achieving harmony.

Our group-based politics inherently breed inequality, prejudice, and discrimination, diverting us from our spiritual essence. Religions, in particular, are heavily influenced by the politics of belonging, often leading to prolonged and bloody conflicts. Spirituality was meant to help individuals from all backgrounds improve, fostering equal rights, hope, and optimism. It should address insecurities related to mortality and personal development. Today, the need for such knowledge is greater than ever as we understand more about our abilities and evolving nature. The more we explore, the more questions arise. I wonder about my position, especially given my dependence on external forces like oxygen. With the complexity of my physical existence, including countless cells and bacteria, and the responsibility of translating spirituality into physical actions, I see a narrative that political groups do not convey. This narrative challenges popular stories of belonging, faith, and divine will. Should I fear aging and mortality and accept everything presented to me? Should I risk losing respect from my group or undermine my autonomy by opposing them? As a mortal, I see the politics of belonging creating hatred and robbing love, leading people to harm each other over matters beyond our comprehension. HAVING AN OPINION ABOUT METAPHYSICAL REALITIES IS ONE THING, BUT ROBBING SOMEONE OF THEIR PHYSICAL REALITY IS ANOTHER. Using religion to justify harm is not acceptable; faith should not be reduced to mere metaphor. Wars over land and resources might be understandable, but wars over the unknown are senseless. If self-destruction stems from ignorance about our identity, then politicians have robbed us of our free will, justice, and compassion, often using our own beliefs against us.

Who has the answers to humanity’s persistent problems? Certainly not the belonging groups. If they had solutions, we would have overcome our spiritual deficiencies by now, and the proliferation of religions would be unnecessary. If reincarnation were true, we should see fewer crimes, as we would have evolved past such issues. To me, the answers lie with spiritually aware individuals, who, despite feeling insignificant, possess the potential to use their gifts of justice and free will effectively. However, they are often seen as extensions of ideologies or puppets of their groups, and group politics are mistaken for a universal justice system. Remember, God did not create humans to be mere extensions of a genetic program; evolution is inherent in our genes, but politicians inhibit its use. Each of us has a unique atom of autonomy, and we must break free from politically influenced pigeonholes to discover our true selves. Until we recognize our importance in the grand scheme of humanity, we live as programmed entities.

Regardless of our progress in adopting democracy, we remain trapped in spiritually deficient and politically influenced systems. If no one challenges the politics of belonging, individuals will never achieve their full potential. We were meant to transcend our genetic limitations, evolving from animals to spiritual beings capable of receiving and giving life in a meaningful way. This is what true reciprocation entails.

Consider God and the Devil without human physicality. If everything is only meaningful in physical terms, the argument that God created humanity becomes questionable. If good and bad actions cannot be translated into physical reality, they remain metaphorical. If you believe otherwise, you need to understand what humans truly are and their relevance. We should all assume the role of CEO of our lives to regain self-respect and avoid being used for political purposes. If you were born in this era, your focus should be on humanity as a whole, not just specific groups. Stand for equal human rights and justice for everyone, irrespective of group affiliations. Humanity must unite to address global challenges like extreme weather, infectious diseases, and nuclear threats. If you are blinded by political and religious rhetoric, you are not fully utilizing your potential. Being a CEO requires taking responsibility for your actions. Internal conflicts are detrimental, so question everything your group promises. Going against your autonomy can lead to internal strife. As a mortal, your happiness and contentment are crucial, and following a group blindly can lead to spiritual crimes that affect you deeply. If you follow your group, you may face internal conflict from your autonomy, while opposing them might result in being condemned by the group. In today’s world, both you and your group need to evolve to avoid being damned.

Understanding God can help us cope with life’s ups and downs. Unfortunately, religions often sell out to political agendas, reducing the significance of individual spirituality. While they may claim God is almighty, they, like their followers, keep even God under their control. Religions exploit God and the Devil to diminish human importance. This exploitation leads to pain and conflict, driven by the desire for revenge. Politicians manipulate these emotions for their own gain, causing violence and suffering regardless of education or group affiliation. RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS ARE AMONG THE BLOODIEST AND LONGEST-LASTING, KEEPING US IN A STATE OF CONSTANT STRUGGLE WHILE PROMISING ETERNAL HEAVEN. GO FIGURE.

Political groups have always opposed individual strength because it threatens their power. Whether through gangs, nations, or religions, they strive to keep individuals feeling weak and dependent on the group. This strategy maintains the group’s relevance and power while keeping individuals vulnerable. By nature, humans are capable of great evolution, with each of us carrying a divine spark. We are designed to evolve without limits, yet our groups impose constraints. Look at the global disparities in development to see how group politics stifle progress. As CEOs of our lives, we must take charge and evolve, balancing personal growth with universal understanding. Politics and religious beliefs cannot be left behind; they must evolve with us.

If we are advancing in technology, science, and medicine, our religious beliefs must also evolve. No area should be restricted by political or religious ideologies. We need emotional and spiritual growth to understand the politics used by our groups. There are countless groups in humanity, yet they perpetuate the illusion of superiority and division. They promote the idea that we are separate, rather than part of a whole functioning body. This lie supports their control over their followers. With today’s weapons and emotionally driven individuals, we risk destroying humanity before realizing its potential.

Socially, if humanity supports equal individual rights, we should have a unified justice system for all. Where we are born, our skin color, gender identity, nationality, or religious beliefs should not affect our equality. All humans should be counted as equal. This concept is simple for those who are spiritually aware, but politically influenced individuals may become victims of their groups. The harm caused by group politics is immeasurable, affecting countless lives and causing immense suffering. If we can learn to belong to humanity as a whole, we can make significant changes. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KILL OR ROB SOMEONE’S LOVE OR PHYSICAL REALITY OVER METAPHYSICAL REALITIES. Whether you believe in God or follow a religion, these beliefs should not justify harming others. If you are confused and believe your group’s narrative is the ultimate truth, remember that you have an atom of autonomy. You have the power to make choices, guided by your free will, sense of justice, compassion, and love. BEING BLESSED WITH YOUR OWN ATOM OF AUTONOMY MAKES YOU THE MAIN CHARACTER OR CEO OF THIS SPIRITUAL PICTURE, AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE CHOICES BEFORE COMMITTING ANY SPIRITUAL CRIMES.

Our true reality is that we are either the thread or the material that makes up the divine fabric or we are cells in the body of God. Denying this throws a wrench in your own belief system because it places God and the Devil on pedestals. You might want to avoid implicating God in the bad things humans do to each other, but that doesn’t reduce the importance of the individual. The value of human life diminishes only when politics of belonging interfere with religious beliefs, and when religions permit this to happen. This not only makes individuals seem irrelevant but also creates a spiritually unjust system disconnected from God.

When individuals feel irrelevant, they lose their self-importance and self-esteem. Without self-respect, they cannot self-regulate and thus lose their sense of responsibility. They become not only irresponsible but also weak, vulnerable, and easier to manipulate or control by their belonging groups. They remain loyal to these groups, whether right or wrong, and because they are spiritually weak, they cannot question any wrongdoing by their groups. This means they have sold their spiritual soul to the politics of belonging. Since most religions have succumbed to the politics of belonging, their spirituality has been compromised in exchange for political control. This has allowed the politics of belonging to be used as a tool to keep individuals seeking refuge under religious beliefs rather than true spirituality.

If you are a political entity or party, maintaining power and control over your followers may lead to compromising spiritual principles for political gain. I would ask those who commit spiritual crimes in the name of religion or God: What drives you to do so? Regardless of your beliefs, without the physical contributions of human beings, spirituality remains impotent. God, the Devil, or even a political group falls short without the physical actions of their followers. Good or bad intentions lose their meaning without being translated into physical actions. Whether you believe in God, the Devil, or nationalism, you must confront your physical reality to elevate it above metaphorical realities. Metaphorical reality relies on the physicality of human actions. You may consider a natural disaster an act of God, but remember that practices like throwing virgins over cliffs to appease God would not be acceptable today. In the age of the internet, the world would react strongly against such practices. Without human intervention, things lose their meaning, and even God’s divine value diminishes.

If the politics of belonging can brainwash you, you are not functioning as the fully independent human being God intended. What is a fully functioning human being? This question leads me to emphasize the importance of making individuals aware of their personal and individual relevance in manifesting divine purposes. Understanding our responsibilities to translate spirituality into physical actions should help us put things into perspective. Consider yourself as an individual born into modern humanity. We have a duty to recognize that we live in an era that values equal human rights. Therefore, if you receive these rights, you must extend them to others, as justice and spirituality go hand in hand.

Religions have been tainted by the politics of belonging, which has stolen the spirituality from modern-day religions. As spiritually aware beings, we cannot just take; we must also give. Spirituality is based on equal reciprocation in all relationships, including those with God, other human beings, and even personal relationships. To live according to the demands of our times, regardless of our beliefs, race, gender, or religion, we must recognize that we are aging and mortal beings. Unlike other creatures, we are not genetically programmed, so we should not live like them. We are not purely physical but also spiritual, with our own atom of autonomy that allows us to exercise free will, personal justice, and compassion. We are designed to evolve in all areas of life, so imposing boundaries on ourselves is unnatural. We no longer live in the bush or caves; we have evolved beyond that. Our ancestors did not have modern facilities, unlike today’s advanced civilization. While our so-called cousins, chimps, remain in the bush, we have advanced significantly. Being human in today’s era carries responsibilities because we cannot remain stuck in the past. Although religious populations may attempt to confine us within man-made boundaries, divine orders call for evolution, compelling us to break free from these constraints.

If you blindly follow religious beliefs and commit acts of violence in the name of God or your religion, you will not only be held responsible for your actions but also scrutinized by the entire world. Social media has elevated our level of scrutiny. You can no longer hide behind race, gender, color, nation, or religion. If you are an extremist and refuse to adapt to contemporary times, it is your personal matter, but such actions can be considered war crimes. Eventually, these crimes will catch up with you, whether internally or externally. Remember, you are a human being with personal responsibilities, blessed with free will and a sense of justice. God must have some wisdom in placing you in this era of scientific and technological advancement, so do not neglect to learn about these responsibilities. Even if your religion opposes blood transfusions, you may face legal consequences if you deny modern medical help to your child.

Privacy is a thing of the past; everything is exposed, whether you believe in God or not. Regardless of your affiliations, color, gender, or beliefs, you are responsible for your actions. You cannot protect yourself from being labeled a bigot or discriminatory by those who disagree with you. Societies are interconnected through the internet, and issues like global warming and infectious diseases cannot be contained by building walls. As we no longer live in isolated environments, it is essential to adapt to the demands of the present era. You must critically evaluate every form of education from your belonging groups to understand how political tainting has influenced you. Belonging groups can only offer prayers for your security, but true security does not exist. Most crimes against individuals are committed by their own belonging fellows. If you seek genuine answers to your problems, study human societies with an open mind, free from political influences. Ask yourself why we continue to fuel conflicts for centuries due to the politics of belonging. The solution lies in strengthening individuals rather than maintaining their irrelevance and lack of self-respect. The problems humanity faces today cannot be solved with outdated politics of belonging. It is essential to strengthen individuals so they can reject group politics and recognize that we all belong to humanity as a whole, much like cells belong to the body. Just as cells are part of the body, we all belong to humanity and to God as one entity. You cannot claim an exclusive God for yourself any more than an arm or leg can claim exclusivity. While you may feel separate, it is an illusion. True understanding of your personal atom of autonomy allows you to see things as distinct realities. Remove politics of belonging to find true spirituality and fully understand your responsibilities.

Remember, God cannot be reserved for a select few; being a good person is a universal responsibility, extending to all human beings regardless of their color, race, nation, or religion. Our universal purpose is to seek justice and to live a successful mortal life. Unfortunately, politics of belonging have caused us to sacrifice this opportunity to live like genetically programmed creatures, such as bees and ants.

My intention is not to recount the stories of past heroes, kings, conquerors, emperors, or prophets and their religions. Instead, I focus on how to live in today’s era without being influenced by the past or future. We cannot keep one foot in a metaphorical future or stay stuck in a distant past. With today’s weaponry, we could potentially realize scenarios predicted in holy books, yet God’s involvement remains secondary to understanding why we have free will. Therefore, living in the present is crucial. Today’s problems are not about individual strengths but rather weaknesses and belief systems. History shows that politics of belonging have kept individuals spiritually unaware and misguided, convincing them that following certain paths will lead to heaven, even if their actions warrant otherwise. We continue to kill innocents and wage wars in the name of religion, nation, race, or skin color. If politics of belonging can deceive you and prevent you from using your atom of autonomy, you are not fully utilizing the gifts God has provided you. Individual actions are urgent because group politics and weaponry have brought humanity to the brink of destruction. Since nations and religions with all their spiritual education have failed to solve these problems, it is time to change our approach. While it is difficult to look beyond our belonging groups, evolution requires it. We must recognize that individual strength contributes to the overall well-being of humanity. Our groups have taught us that strength lies in belonging, but modern problems demand unity and cooperation across humanity. Building walls is futile; we must work together as a global community.

Critically assess the education from your belonging groups to see how you have been influenced and used. Security is a myth; most crimes against individuals are committed by those within their own groups. Seek answers to your problems through an open-minded study of human societies, free from political tainting. Question why we continue to fuel conflicts for centuries due to politics of belonging. Strengthening individuals, rather than keeping them irrelevant, will help solve humanity’s problems. Our true reality is that we all belong to humanity as a whole, just as cells belong to the body. Logically, spiritually, and physically, we are all part of God and humanity, and we must reject the politics of belonging that corrupt even the best of us. Safeguard yourself from these politics before questioning others’ spirituality. Especially if you engage in acts considered dark or devilish in the name of God. It is our personal and individual responsibility to untangle this politically twisted puzzle. Mortal life should balance spirituality and physicality to achieve a successful existence. Unfortunately, we often fall victim to politics of belonging, sacrificing everything to live like genetically programmed creatures.

If you are taught to believe that you are superior to other human beings or even other parts of yourself simply because you belong to a certain group or body part, it’s time to rethink that mindset. The era of such politics is long past, buried in history. Today is the age of equal human rights. If you don’t believe in this, you risk aligning yourself with those labeled as bigots, prejudiced, or discriminatory. Believe me, you wouldn’t want to be called those names, let alone take pride in them. Even if you don’t believe in God, you still belong to both God and humanity simply by virtue of living in this era. Whether you’re taught to follow Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, or any other religion—or even to reject the notion of God—you are still a part of God’s creation. So, the question remains: What does this make you, especially in your own eyes?

Our biggest challenge is that we are born onto paths shaped by our ancestors. Their influences have affected our parents, and those influences, in turn, affect us. This is a reality we must face. The politics of belonging to certain groups is a trait we inherit from birth. However, since we are born as individual humans, it is crucial for us to question everything we’ve been taught. Remember, we all eventually leave the past behind, and it’s important to recognize that the past is no longer a physical reality. Logically, apart from our religions, there has been significant evolution in many other aspects of our lives. Therefore, we must learn to live in the present era, where we have the ability to create balance.

The reality is that we are all mortal. Sooner or later, we must confront the reality of our fate, regardless of our beliefs. From the moment we are born, we are bombarded with the politics of belonging to our respective groups. We are expected to remain loyal to these groups to the point of sacrificing our lives for them. The question of right or wrong often becomes secondary to mere obedience, which can make us act like genetically programmed creatures. If we deviate, we may face ostracism, punishment, or even death. In today’s world, adhering to outdated traditions, customs, rituals, and rules can be challenging.

Globally, we see successful melting pot societies where people from diverse backgrounds coexist. As our evolution progresses, it often clashes with the politics of belonging to specific groups. This struggle affects groups, individuals, and humanity as a whole. While global warming, internet-related crimes, space programs, and economic challenges push us towards unity, group politics often pulls us in the opposite direction. The outcome is uncertain, and we must be aware of the potential for conflict.

If we, as individuals, place our identities above our inherent human connection to God and humanity, we risk losing our true essence. If we focus solely on advancements in areas like weaponry without understanding our fundamental identity as human beings, it can lead to negative consequences for both ourselves and humanity. By nature, we are meant to create balance in all aspects of our lives. As we advance technologically and in terms of weaponry, our emotional and spiritual evolution must also keep pace.

If you are born following the path of your ancestors and know that you will eventually face the ultimate question of faith, yet are taught that there is either hell or heaven awaiting you, critically examine the politics behind such teachings. Don’t take this knowledge at face value. Instead, question the motives behind why you are taught to be a good person. The answer is straightforward: question everything.

Your spiritual beliefs should teach you that all human beings are part of God’s creation. This understanding should transcend race, gender, nationality, or any other group affiliation. Your beliefs, if genuinely spiritual, should not be twisted by political agendas. If you allow political influences to override your spiritual principles, you are responsible for your actions. The concept of an afterlife should be questioned as well because each of us will face our own fate personally.

Our task is to live in the present era and address the complexities of our times, rather than clinging to outdated traditions. Modern advancements in medicine and technology have surpassed ancient beliefs, making it crucial to adapt. For example, debates on abortion should be left to medical professionals and patients, not dictated by religious or political beliefs. Today’s medical knowledge far exceeds the understanding of ancient religious extremists.

Ultimately, spirituality and God should be free from political influences. No religion should mix politics with spiritual beliefs. Political interests have historically tainted religions, but we must strive to keep spirituality separate from politics. If you find yourself struggling with political influences, remember that your atom of autonomy, your free will, and personal sense of justice are crucial. Don’t let political or group dynamics overshadow your spiritual principles.

Our existence as humans is not about adhering to outdated beliefs but about living as responsible and spiritual beings in the present era. Don’t let politics rob you of your spiritual truth. Life is a journey, not a destination. Embrace your individuality, make choices guided by your atom of autonomy, and seek a balance between your spiritual principles and the realities of the modern world.

Sure, we all need governing systems to manage our political affairs, but as individuals, we also need our spiritual needs met. If you are under the political influence of your belonging groups and cannot distinguish or separate politics from spirituality for yourself, you must first learn to become the CEO of your life. Only then will you be able to question and take responsibility for your actions when necessary, meaning you would be able to self-regulate without fear or greed. Keeping an eye on the hidden agendas and motives of both yourself and other political groups can help you separate politics from belonging. This will help you focus on your spiritual responsibilities as well.

If your religious leaders want to keep you focused on the past or the future, the least you can do is avoid harming others in the present. Remember, every one of us is God’s working hand, so disrespecting others is against spiritual principles. Even if it’s about a fetus, make sure to live in the era you were born into. Confused? Remember, if you believe in God, believe in God entirely and without doubt. Don’t believe in God? Always remember you have the same rights and duties as believers. If you respect this and uphold equal human rights, you cannot go wrong.

If you’re still confused, remember that you can’t have it both ways. You can’t say you believe in God 100% and still kill each other over political differences. If your belonging group uses God for political purposes and you don’t speak out, your personal spirituality may be in question, unless you’re in danger of losing your life. Using God for political purposes is spiritually wrong, no matter what your group says.

When you say a human is guilty of a crime, you go to court where you must swear to tell nothing but the truth—a physical truth, not a metaphorical one because people believe in different truths. If you claim that God told you to punish someone, you must bring God out of your metaphorical reality and into physical reality to prove your case. Do you really think you can do that? No one has managed it, not even with millions of years of evolution, so don’t buy into something you can’t prove physically and repeatedly on demand. Sure, you feel God, just like you feel love, but feelings are not sufficient, especially when it comes to matters of life and death. Just like you can say you really love someone but later seek a divorce, love is a metaphorical reality that can change at any time and is out of your control.

When you prioritize your metaphorical realities over your physical ones, it’s your choice, but God might ask, “I made you a human being; why didn’t you use your free will and personal sense of justice? Did you live a human life, or did you reduce yourself to an extension of a group and let the politics of belonging rule your life?” A classic example of what I am writing about is the recent news of the Pope apologizing to the Natives of Canada. Those involved may have believed in their religious beliefs wholeheartedly and acted in good faith for their religion, yet their actions proved to be politically and spiritually wrong, as evidenced by the Pope’s apology.

So, be mindful of your actions, even if they are for your religion. If you stay solidly in the spiritual zone of your belief systems, you won’t have to regret your actions later. As I have said before and will say again, consider how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of your actions before committing them. If you wouldn’t like it, it’s against spirituality and is usually politically motivated. As a human individual, you simply can’t do to others what you wouldn’t want done to you or your loved ones.

Now it comes down to this: you can either say you believe in God and that humans are not responsible for their actions, or you can say that humans are responsible and God is not to blame. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. When you think spiritually, you can’t be political, and when you are political, you can’t be spiritual. To be clear and straightforward, you must clear the political clutter from your own belief system to remove confusion. Remember, this is why there are thousands of religious beliefs yet only one God and one humanity. If you examine it critically, most religions have very strict rules and punishments, yet they place God and the Devil on pedestals high enough to claim that even a leaf on a tree cannot move without God’s will. They are determined to make the individual human irrelevant and worthless, yet they assign all responsibility for crimes to them. The problem with that is that it is humans who convert spirituality into physical actions. If you remove the human individual from the picture, both spirituality and the politics of groups collapse.

Interestingly, as human individuals, we don’t even control our next breath, so we can’t function or live on our own. So who is to blame? Both? If so, then why? Remember, without human individuals, no spiritual or devilish act or thought can be physically performed or fulfilled. It’s confusing to believe that God or humans are doing everything exclusively. To me, it’s like two electric wires intertwined; one alone cannot light up the bulb. Both are equally responsible for getting the job done, so separating them into one or the other is logically incomplete knowledge. We must come to undeniable spiritual justice and give credit where it belongs. You simply can’t place God and the Devil at the top and make the human individual irrelevant because nothing would light up without the physicality of the human individual.

We punish individuals for their wrongdoing because we either believe humans are responsible for everything or that we have free will to choose. Yet in the same breath, we believe God is doing everything. The question is: why doesn’t God stop human beings before they commit spiritual crimes? After all, we don’t even own our next breath, so God must be implicated in all physical actions equally. Now ask yourself: is God involved in it or not? Or do you believe humans are entirely responsible because of their free will? Should the individual be punished for their physical contribution to the bad action, or should God be blamed as well? No matter what you believe, it makes the human individual an important and crucial part of this holy picture. So why do most religions preach that human beings are irrelevant? If you believe in human irrelevancy, you are making human physicality irrelevant, which undermines the entire belief system because without human physicality, things remain suspended in the air and nothing happens physically. Politics doesn’t care about logic when it comes to our religious beliefs, so if you make the human individual irrelevant, you are favoring politics over spirituality. If you do that, you can’t simply choose between God or the human individual exclusively. I believe our politics must be separated from our spiritual beliefs; otherwise, we will continue producing individuals with low self-esteem, self-respect, and a diminished sense of personal responsibility for justice. As groups, we are not going to change anything because it goes against our political interests. Since equal human rights are gaining strength, we should all take responsibility for being human beings born in this present era. If you’re still confused, think about your importance. Logically, if we remove the human individual from the picture, both God and the Devil lose their importance and value, regardless of what your group says. Oh, and remember, even the groups would disappear because they consist of human individuals as well.

If you don’t know how to start, begin by separating the politics of belonging from your personal spirituality and connect directly with God as one neutral entity. You need to start believing in humanity as one, just like God, and in the universality of spirituality. You must shed your political identities to discover what a human individual spiritually looks like or what they are made of.

Issues like global warming, infectious diseases, internet-related crimes, and the simultaneous popularity of equal human rights around the world may be confusing and difficult for everyone to fully understand. A simple way to address these confusions is to prioritize our known and physical realities over our metaphorical or unknown ones. You can do this by gaining personal strength to put things into perspective. While respecting our metaphorical realities and religions, we must also acknowledge the physical harm they have caused humanity over the centuries. Our physical reality shows that we cannot count the death toll of our religious conflicts. Religion cannot be a belief system if it is tainted with group politics. Especially if our group politics implicates God as a politically tainted entity. Remember, as spiritual beings, we cannot claim that it is God’s will for us to be prejudiced and discriminatory. Everything we have been taught can be questioned because, to me, if God is neutral, why would God need sacrifice to be pleased? Physically or metaphorically throwing virgins off cliffs or killing each other in the name of God simply cannot be right. I believe a spiritually aware individual who can look beyond the politics of their belonging groups can be more useful to God, humanity, and their communities. Our individual understanding of politically tainted religious beliefs can be beneficial not only to the individual but to humanity as a whole.

For thousands of years, we have been taught that the mass is more important than the individual, but personally, I do not believe this is spiritually correct. In an era of equal human rights, things are not as they once were, even in our recent past. Whether it was a race, nation, or religion, all have demanded and preached that the individual should be subservient and irrelevant compared to the group. This may be logically understandable, but it is not spiritual; it is political. If it were spiritual, it would be based on equal justice, whether between individuals or between an individual and a group, nation, or religion, because in the spiritual world, equal and blind justice matters.

If we critically examine our personal feelings, we would learn that human insecurities are the foundation of politically successful groups. Whether a gang, community, nation, or religion, they all rely on the number of individuals. If an individual is insecure, they seek security in numbers. Even if they are the backbone of a group and contribute to its success, they lose their personal importance, self-esteem, and relevance. If you understand this with both logical and spiritual insight, you will see that there is no security for us mortals. Proof of this is our acceptance of aging, disease, and death. Our groups may offer prayers and well-wishes, but logically and simply, they cannot provide us with security from the mortality we fear most.

It’s easy to understand that as groups, we are merely a collection of individuals. If individuals improve, it can potentially benefit the group. While things may not change in my lifetime, if we continue to evolve individually, we may bring about collective change. From being barbaric savages to proponents of equal human rights did not happen on its own; it took centuries and thousands of years of evolution to reach this understanding. The changes we have already made are clear evidence of our evolving nature. We are still entangled in group politics and individual insecurities, but we are making progress. We are still drawn to the politics of belonging to our groups and protective of our installed identities. We still desire world peace, but under the umbrella of our group. Somehow, we still believe that our group is our foundation, not the other way around. This twisted logic keeps us personally weak, vulnerable, irrelevant, and unimportant, even though logically, a group’s foundation is the individual. If we all learn this, we can change our group’s political policies, as is happening, which is why equal human rights are becoming the new religion of this era. Change will not come unless individuals stand up for themselves. A CEO can address the causes of irrelevance and take responsibility for their actions. Personally, I don’t like seeing individuals eagerly exploited even when it goes against their spiritual values. That’s why I focus on individual education, so people can understand their value. While it may not be popular in this era of political belonging to groups, the growing popularity of equal human rights suggests that individuals will soon be acknowledged as central to everything we do, whether political or spiritual.

Since we are all born into and educated with politically influenced ideologies that shape our individual thinking processes, it is intriguing that we are still capable of thinking beyond these politically-instilled views. Our thoughts and opinions can evolve with our life circumstances and experiences, but they should never be restricted or frozen in time. Being evolving beings, if we remain locked into a specific time period or confined to our political ideologies, it can be limiting. This situation is akin to being in a self-imposed prison, preventing us from reaching our God-intended potential. This is a significant personal loss. Since it is an individual loss, we should each strive to transcend our political affiliations. Ultimately, we are responsible for our actions. If we are living in an era of advanced technology, we should utilize all the opportunities it provides. If you feel trapped in the mindset of two thousand years ago, it is time to break free and embrace the concept of equal human rights. This will help you see the reality of your prejudiced and discriminatory beliefs. Failure to do so is your personal loss, as time is running out. You cannot keep one foot in the afterlife and the other in a bygone era while perpetuating conflicts over issues that are not relevant to the present. As individuals, we have a responsibility to critically assess our lives rather than following orders blindly. Always remember that you possess free will and a personal sense of justice for a reason. Your evolving nature is leading you to a place where you will need all the knowledge you can gather. As you evolve, you have new places to explore and discoveries to make. Reflect on your limited time, your political influences, and your ability to form your own opinions. With free will and an evolving yet mortal nature, you must outgrow the insecurities tied to political boundaries. Become the CEO of your own life to experience it fully. A CEO is responsible for all aspects of life, not just political ones. While your religious leaders may prioritize life after death over your living years, remember that we must all die first to understand that reality. What is the true reality? If we don’t truly know, it should be considered a metaphorical reality, much like love and God—things we feel but do not fully comprehend. You don’t need to question those around you or your religious beliefs; instead, examine the politics of group belonging to understand the roots of your personal prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry. If you wholeheartedly believe that your group politics, even with God on your side, then you are attributing prejudice and discrimination to God as well. If you look impartially, you will find that God, love, humanity, and spirituality are universal. Good people can be found in all religions, nations, races, and genders. So why would anyone think they are superior just by belonging to a certain group or believe that other groups are inferior? As I mentioned, we can think beyond our installed education, so practice understanding why God, spirituality, and humanity are universal. It’s not that difficult because you possess the potential of an ocean and vast space within you. All you need to do is look beyond the politics of your belonging and dive into your personal ocean, where all your knowledge converges. Remember, as a human being, you have the ability to choose, mix, and match from all the knowledge you have acquired.

Now, assess your personal and individual life. Logically, neither you nor your pets would be content living with lice, fleas, ticks, or parasites. Why would you think God would favor those who only take without giving back? We are all cells in the divine body, and our relationship with God reflects this. If every one of us only worshipped without contributing, it would be a disaster for humanity and even for God. We work to help each other and sustain the divine world. If everyone took without giving, it would result in a one-sided relationship that doesn’t work—plain and simple. How can God be pleased with people who act as exclusive takers? If we are provided with fundamental needs like oxygen and a healthy body, we should be grateful and act as God’s helpers. If you are born to take and never give, you are no different from parasites. Ask yourself why you want everything done by God without your input. Are you doing everything in your power before asking for help, or do you just want everything done for you without reciprocating honestly? Don’t you think God has done enough for you? You should recognize that you didn’t just appear with a perfectly functioning body, free oxygen, and free will. All you need is to make an effort in your life. If you are not appreciative of your comfortable life or your mortal existence, do something about it. Think beyond the limitations of your political education and explore what is in your personal ocean. Understand what honest reciprocation means to grasp the concept of spiritual burden. Real and spiritual life demand that we learn about reciprocation so that we don’t owe anything to anyone, including God. If your parents helped you, help them when they can’t help themselves. If your husband provides for the household, he deserves respect and support to make his life easier. If your wife makes your life easier, acknowledge and respect her contributions. Honest living sets you free and allows you to become a mini-God yourself. If you only take and never give because you’ve been taught or have learned that this is acceptable, reconsider. We are not merely physical beings; our spiritual needs must also be met during our living years, not just in the afterlife. Honest reciprocation adds profound happiness to our lives and alleviates our fears of the afterlife. Our physical business teaches us to spend less and gain more to run a profitable business, but applying this to our everyday lives makes us metaphorical parasites. So, if you appear human, be one. As groups, we often try to dominate others like predators in the jungle. Throughout history and even today, racism, bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination persist. While slavery may no longer exist, these traits stem from a lack of individual spirituality. Since individual and personal spirituality is crucial for happiness and contentment, we need to understand this aspect of being human. Remember, it all starts at home. As Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, though I don’t remember his exact words, he implied that you should not rip the cocoon of a child. By helping but not tearing their cocoon, you allow them to fly solo. This is similar to the religious teachings that advocate for women remaining dependent. Such politics have limited us regardless of gender, nation, or religion.

When intellectualizing things, even over-intellectualization is encouraged for physical realities. However, when it comes to metaphorical realities, many say not to delve too deeply because it is considered God’s domain. This raises the question: What does this do to humanity? We have been killing each other over unproven metaphorical realities for thousands of years, with no end in sight. We rob others of love, creating immense pain for the victims, while the perpetrators carry tremendous burdens. Should we continue this behavior simply because our religions endorse it? Extremists might say yes, willing to kill for beliefs they don’t fully understand or can’t explain. Placebo effects exist, but a doctor should not rely solely on sugar pills because not addressing the cause can be fatal. Thus, we must explore and explore, as even one individual’s decision can have significant consequences. Today, we cannot accept everything as divinely ordained without questioning. We have discovered that God was not angered by groups sacrificing virgins or burning widows alive. Our religious attitudes would change if they felt empty, as the insecure human individual is the main source of such practices. If you feel insecure, it’s because you’ve been brainwashed by the politicians of your groups. Personal and individual knowledge of physical and metaphorical realities is essential. How will you obtain it? It is now easier than ever to become the CEO of your life. Humanity supports this change, as equal human rights are becoming popular due to individual awareness. Bigotry, prejudice, racism, and discrimination are shifting from being sources of pride to shame.

Over-intellectualization is one thing, but killing each other over it is plain ignorance. While such conflicts occur in nature, animals don’t kill each other for metaphorical beliefs. If you ask why God doesn’t stop us, I would question why you don’t critically examine your evolving nature. Each of us is designed to evolve, so by now, we should have learned to stop killing each other, especially over metaphorical realities. Over and under-intellectualization are problems rooted in our political affiliations. Solutions will not come from top-down approaches because they lack spiritual inspiration. Political interests are deeply rooted and resistant to change. While we are making progress in addressing issues like racism and gender bias, things can regress, as seen in recent events in America. Our struggles persist because real spirituality has not been prioritized. Individuals must take personal responsibility and cultivate spiritual awareness. By becoming the CEO of your life, you will understand that group politics is merely one department of life. As a spiritually aware individual, you will act with a personal sense of justice. You will not do to others what you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones, regardless of your group’s expectations. Today, we face legal consequences for our actions because everyone believes we are individually responsible. As a CEO, you should be able to envision yourself on the receiving end of your actions before committing them, realizing that being a puppet of your group is a demotion for human beings.

Now, let’s put things in perspective. Emotions and feelings arise from our thoughts. Sleep and stress-related physical ailments can develop from non-physical causes, as we create things out of thin air. The question is why do thoughts remain abstract until they manifest physically? If you let thoughts run wild, you can create a whole non-physical world for yourself simply because you believe in it. Visualization and meditation are important, but how you perceive and interpret them matters. Even your imagination is grounded in reality and brings tangible effects into your life. Until we understand the true nature of our thoughts, we will continue to manipulate physical reality based on our non-physical beliefs. We must differentiate between metaphorical and literal realities. Our new discoveries can help us become better spiritual beings, so take responsibility for the era you live in. Reflect on how your political beliefs affect you and whether they serve your higher purpose. Avoid living a life of hate, fear, and ego. It is your decision whether to live by them or rise above them to fulfill your divine purpose. Your spirituality will help you transcend the limitations imposed by political affiliations. Embrace spirituality to become the CEO of your own life, unshackled by outdated ideologies. May you strive for a life of honesty, awareness, and spiritual fulfillment, and may your journey be guided by wisdom and compassion.

Throughout history, twenty-five different and unrelated human societies have practiced human sacrifice. Today, such actions would be classified as murder, indicating that our evolution has led to a fundamental shift: no society now permits human sacrifice. Should we allow our nonphysical beliefs to inflict physical harm? While practices like meditation, hypnotism, placebo effects, and religious beliefs can be beneficial, they also come with potential harms. Personally, I find meditation to be harmless, but creating an entirely nonphysical world could have individual consequences. Regardless of the outcomes, whether good or bad, our intentions may be pure, but they can lead to both positive and negative results.

Especially concerning are religious beliefs, which have historically led to extreme actions and violence over differing opinions. Meditation can offer personal peace by creating a belief system that helps one find inner tranquility. Hypnotism has both potential benefits and risks. Religion, too, can offer advantages but only if one deeply believes in it. These nonphysical aspects can significantly impact our physical reality. Blindly following beliefs without understanding them, to the point of justifying human sacrifice or violence against non-believers, is unacceptable. Meditation may offer therapeutic benefits, but it remains rooted in a nonphysical belief system. When faced with legal issues, relying solely on nonphysical beliefs won’t suffice; physical world solutions are necessary. You can’t use placebo effects to heal everyone, just as you can’t rely solely on prayers to build physical strength. If manifestation worked 100% of the time, God would be on demand. Instead, we should appreciate our blessings and take responsibility to evolve and address challenges practically.

A criminal who is not deterred by nonphysical beliefs will not be stopped by God. Instant gratification drives criminal behavior, while our inhibitions keep us human. Self-regulation through education helps individuals function in their respective eras. Even non-religious societies often have lower crime rates, highlighting a potential failure of religious societies to demonstrate the efficacy of their belief systems. Instead of relying solely on spiritual beliefs, practical solutions are needed to make a difference. Self-regulation combined with spiritual education is essential. Treating individuals like animals, using outdated philosophies like carrot-and-stick methods, is ineffective. Comparing national crime rates can provide perspective. Religions are meant to be spiritual paths, but when they fail to respect this purpose, they disrespect both religion and God.

Disrespecting people, religion, and God causes a mismatch between metaphorical and physical realities. This mismatch leads to inevitable derailments when many people are out of sync. Since humans are naturally evolving, religious and conservative systems must adapt to align with the evolving world. Politics of power and control have repeatedly failed, creating friction and conflict. For instance, conflicts between liberal and conservative ideologies, such as the American vs. Taliban example, illustrate the problems arising from outdated belief systems. The solution lies in aligning metaphorical realities with physical ones, which means focusing on education and adaptability. Without this alignment, various issues—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—can arise, as seen worldwide.

Religious leaders should reflect on this, especially considering the variability in how placebo effects, hypnotism, and meditation work. Science, too, raises questions about the origins and expansion of the universe. These mysteries underscore our limited understanding. Accepting that we don’t know everything is crucial. As we continue to evolve and learn, it’s evident that we don’t fully comprehend events from billions of years ago. Whether viewed through scientific or religious lenses, assumptions prevail. Merging metaphorical and physical realities with an extreme viewpoint can lead to internal conflicts. We should never kill each other over differing opinions or beliefs, even if they are collectively held. Until we reach our full potential, extreme actions are unjustifiable.

If you still commit acts of violence, even under the guise of religious belief, you should be treated as a common criminal. Your feelings are based on your thoughts, so it’s essential to reassess them. Prioritizing feelings over thoughts is incorrect because feelings stem from thoughts. Understand the difference between physical and metaphorical realities. Our brains are not limited to streams or rivers of thought; we have the capacity of an ocean. Relying only on limited sources diminishes our potential. As the CEO of your life, find solutions from within your vast resources. Recognize your place in the grand scheme of humanity, where physical realities should take precedence over metaphorical ones, spirituality over religious beliefs, and equal human rights over discrimination. Bring these principles to your individual self to fulfill your true potential as intended.

With thousands of religious beliefs, it’s possible for people to view each other as lesser or inferior. But why does this happen? The answer often lies in the education that promotes being “better” than others, which goes against the principle of equal human rights. Bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination do not stem from spirituality or God but rather from the insecurities of belonging to certain groups.

Life happens for the sake of life itself. While we might think life is all about us, interestingly, we, as part of life, are also just another manifestation of this ongoing process. Assumptions may vary, but physical reality is temporary, regardless of how wise or beautiful it might be. It’s noble to consider that our life might be insignificant and that our religions are completely right, but what should we do when there are thousands of religions in humanity?

Throughout history, there have been figures who have either saved millions of lives or taken lives through extreme means like atomic bombs, biological warfare, or religious extremism. Our personal mortality teaches us that life and its knowledge are not confined to one side. We don’t simply exist for ourselves; we also have a responsibility to advance humanity.

Consider the difficult journey of humanity: from living in caves and huts to constructing modern high-rise buildings, from throwing virgins off cliffs as sacrifices to burning widows alive with their deceased husbands, from executing people accused of witchcraft to condemning LGBTQ+ individuals, and from preaching self-restraint to committing violence in the name of our metaphorical realities or imagined constructs. The contradictions are evident: we have, at various times, called each other names and then defended those very names, often in the name of what originally caused the conflict.

If you can understand these contradictions, ask yourself if you should become an extremist, bigot, or prejudiced individual, or if you should embrace moderation and recognize that group knowledge is often politically influenced and inadequate. You, as an individual with the capacity of an ocean in a single drop, should question whether you are merely an extension of a political or religious group or if you are using all your abilities to transcend these limitations.

Can you engage in discussions about your physical and metaphorical realities as separate entities? Can you challenge what you’ve learned from your religion? Can you interact with others without resorting to violence, and respect them as fellow human beings before judging them as inferior based on your religious beliefs? If everyone possesses their own atom of autonomy and can recognize physical reality as the ultimate truth, then should we not place this understanding above all our metaphorical beliefs?
