Before we dive into, or rather, before we all dive into this confusing but outdated argument about identities, we should each ask ourselves: What and who are we really? Ask in such a manner that you speak to your inner self, where you are alone and not politically influenced. I usually ask myself in the dead of night, “O life, what and who are you? With you within, I make God, God, and the Devil, the Devil. Since I am the one who makes them physically functional, I should be respected as most relevant in our holy pictures of beliefs. The whole scheme of life, whether it’s communal, universal, or spiritual, makes me, me. Why am I above everything with you within, but as you leave me, without you they bury me six feet under as useless and a burden? So, what are you? If each and every one of us successfully asks and gets their answer, our holy triangle will be flipped back right side up. We will not politically hide behind God and the Devil; we will become what we are and start to take responsibility for our physical actions.
Remember, you have only felt God-like love but never seen God. It’s like our cells deep within asking each other if the body exists as a whole. To them, their comprehension is limited because they have never been outside the body in living form, never mind with a brain like human beings. Just like those cells, we can’t really see the body but can envision, feel, and understand the supply line of oxygen, water, food, and love. So, regardless of what and who God is, we simply go according to our understanding, believe in, and give a name to God. Now the question is, if we have never seen or met God, why do we claim to know everything about God? To the point that we kill and rob each other of the actual physicality that is needed and is most important for God to physically exist. So, the bottom line is that to really know God, we have to know ourselves first. Just look around and see how far we still have to go to even understand ourselves. We have been killing each other since our awareness of love because the pain of love lost is one of the biggest hurdles in achieving peace in humanity. Remember, love lost is a pain that tops the chart. Unfortunately, if it’s inflicted on you by others, we want them to feel the same pain, so we seek revenge. Meaning, all our evolution and spirituality go in the gutter, and we become simple creatures who exclusively feel physically. Shouldn’t we be at the level of understanding where we know inflicting pain on others does not end conflicts but rather makes them grow further?
Now, in case you are wondering what the hell all these letters mean, well, since I can’t really make the title of the blog that long, I had to resort to the first letter of each word intended.
Anyway, even in the era that belongs to equal human individual rights, interestingly, these so-called identities still dictate what and who we really are. Yet the reality is that we are way, way above it all, if only we can understand it. So, let’s start with S for SPIRITUAL, P for PHYSICAL, and so on. H, HUMAN, BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW, RED, WHITE, MALE, FEMALE, STRAIGHT, LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, QUEER, MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN, HINDU, JEWISH, SIKH, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.
Now, while you are at it, or if that is not enough for you, let’s keep it going and add nearly two hundred nations with a whole lot of territorial and land disputes. Eventually, top that off with thousands of religions and their sects. Remember, this blog is part three of equal human individual rights, and the heading of this blog is about our natural as well as politically installed identities. Since our politically installed identities are our major hurdles, they should be dealt with before everyone can agree to give and receive equal rights. Our openly preached inequality, related bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination have been, are, and will always prevent us from following the calls of our Godly installed spiritual DNA. So, to me, this has been and still is the main rabbit hole we all individually have to climb out of. Since logically, the levels of our personal insecurities and political involvement in group interests both start from within the individual, they simply can’t be fixed by staying within group politics. The individual has to deal with their personal issues by understanding and dealing with them. Remember, you can’t come out of this rabbit hole if you keep following the same old politics of belonging because, as groups, we lose political power and control over the belonging individuals. So, that is why humanity is still struggling to adopt equal human individual rights. Sure, you can be willing to give and receive equal human rights at your individual level, but the number of those individuals has to rise to influence the groups. Unfortunately, our groups have been able to brainwash us right from our tender years to believe that our personal security is tied up with our group identity. Yet spiritually aware individuals know that being mortal, we don’t really have real security. So, regardless of our political influences, we should not sacrifice our spiritual principles for political identities. I wholeheartedly believe that if we all can bring it down to us individually and really connect to God as human individuals, or should I say as real and politically uninfluenced human beings, we can actually bring the peace humanity has been seeking since the beginning of our spiritual awareness.
When I started to look for the reasons why, as humanity, we can’t get along and why we have been and still are so torn apart for thousands of years, all these first letters of modern-day human individual identities showed up. The spiritual and physical human being comes first because that is our real and foundational identity. Next is black because science says that somewhere along the way, we all originated from Africa. So, to me, it’s kind of obvious to be dark if you are from or around the equator. That means our ancestors had to be black or dark to begin with because even today, the populations around the equator are still predominantly dark. Then brown, yellow, red, white, and then again back to mixing all the colors to create newer shades of humanity. No, I am not going to say fifty shades of humanity even if I feel like it. Now, you can top that off with the presently dominating and main religions: Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Sikh. Then, there is today’s popular and disputable discussion related to our national and sexual identities. Interestingly, regardless of historical presence, these groups have never been counted as full human beings. If they were, they were somehow counted as less or inferior to others, as if national and sexual identity—or any political identity—automatically makes someone better or lesser of a human being. Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, and don’t forget straight as well because that is one of our sexual identities.
Now the question is, why has a perfectly functioning hand of God always been or is being discriminated against? How about the political lines of the globe or nations? Now look at your first name, especially if you have an Arabic background. Add your father’s name, his father’s name, and even his father’s name, and then your family or last name. While you’re at it, add your educational degree, your height, or if you are fat or skinny, young, old, aging, and even being mortal as well. I think these all should be enough to talk about.
NOW LET’S FIGURE IT ALL OUT. AS A HUMAN INDIVIDUAL, HOW MANY POLITICAL IDENTITIES HAVE YOU BEEN BURIED UNDER? REMEMBER I JUST TOOK IT EASY BY NOT COUNTING ALL THE RELIGIONS AND THEIR SECTS. RECENTLY, I ASKED LADY GOOGLE, AND SHE SAID IT’S HARD TO GET THE RIGHT NUMBER, BUT THERE ARE MORE THAN FOUR THOUSAND ACTIVE RELIGIONS OUT THERE. SO, AS HUMAN INDIVIDUALS, WE ALL WILL HAVE TO DIG MUCH DEEPER WITHIN OURSELVES TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF OUR POLITICALLY WRAPPED LAYERS OF BELIEFS. FINDING OURSELVES AS HUMAN INDIVIDUALS IS A HARD TASK. DIGGING WITHIN YOURSELF IS NOT EASY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN WRAPPED UP OR EVEN BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE EVERYTHING BUT A HUMAN BEING WITH YOUR OWN ATOM OF AUTONOMY. WHEN IT COMES TO GOING AGAINST YOUR OWN POLITICAL BELONGING, YOU BETTER BE READY TO DISTURB SOME INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL DIRT OR… YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THAT CAN CAUSE YOU SOME INTERNAL DISPUTES, PUTTING YOU IN NOT A VERY GOOD PLACE. SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN WRAPPED UP OR RAISED WITH ALL THIS SO-CALLED POLITICAL DIRT RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO, IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT AS A REALITY, YOU MAY COME OUT FROM THE OTHER SIDE IN ONE PIECE. OTHERWISE, CHANCES ARE YOU MAY INTERNALLY FALL APART.
If your head does not spin like mine, OR YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DIG WITHIN, you are stuck in your political identities to the point that you have lost your CEO status provided to you by your atom of autonomy. CONFUSED? Well, let’s try to get out of this confusion and get ourselves unstuck together. Taking charge of our individual and personal life LIKE A CEO can help. This is why, as human beings, we all can think and respond with free will, and that is our real gift from God. God really meant for us all to be human beings, not some genetically programmed creatures. By blessing us all equally with our own atom of autonomy-related spiritual jewelry, God put a lot of responsibility on our individual shoulders. Remember, if you are using your free will in everything else you do, it is because of that mini-God sitting right within you. Your compassion, sense of justice, and other spiritual duties like love and sacrifice are not things your groups have installed within you. You actually brought them along from before your birth. All the groups did was stop you from digging within to find out your evolving potential. They tried to brainwash us all with their political belonging rhetoric, so we could not think beyond our group interest. Our God-given gifts can help us assume the responsibilities of a CEO and become responsible human beings who can actually separate spirituality and political religious beliefs.
Compared to our advancements in technological, medical, and scientific knowledge, why are we so far behind when it comes to our social and emotional evolution? Regardless of thousands of religions, hundreds of nations, empires, isms, and thousands of years of evolution under our belt, why are we still struggling and banging our heads against the same wall as we did in our distant past? Remember, we still kill each other over something we don’t know and can’t explain. Just look at our wars; we are still killing each other regardless of the guilt, and yes, even children as well. Yet, we have been claiming that we are doing all that in the name of God. Our group politics cunningly hide our land, clans, and love-loss-related disputes behind our religions because individuals from both sides are willing to kill and get killed for it. Interestingly, the majority of us emotionally buy into it because of the politics of belonging. So, even in this day and age, our groups reap the benefits of weaker and insecure individuals, yet as individuals, we can’t raise our voices against our political belonging.
What is going on in the world of nuclear and biological weaponry? Remember, our emotional disturbance is usually based on the politics of nationalism and extreme religious beliefs. So, not harnessing the urges to follow the politics of belonging and animal urges is an individual dilemma of the modern-day human being. Since thousands of years of experimenting with all kinds of governing systems did not bring the peace that humanity has been seeking, it’s time to stop banging our heads against the same wall. Instead of asking for equal group rights, we should bring it down to equal human individual rights. By bringing it all the way down to the individual level, we can control our political groups to the point that they can’t pull our strings like puppets. Remember, even as humanity, we can’t enforce our justice system because our top organization has a group-based veto system. Sure, we need political and justice systems to run our affairs, but if they don’t have universally founded equal spiritual systems, they can be bought and sold with political influences.
In today’s time, we all talk about equal human individual rights and democracy, but in reality, we are individually incapable or unwilling to give the same rights we receive from others. All because of the politics of belonging to our groups. Meaning, we as individuals are spiritually struggling deep within the core of being human. So, where is the individual and personal spirituality? Remember rule number one, and sure, I am constantly repeating this, but I do feel the need for this repetition: “Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you or your loved ones.” I would like to add another one here that says, “Put yourself in others’ shoes before judging them” because to me, this is not the era of asking for group rights. That has always brought us to group disputes and major wars.
If humanity has been experimenting with our governing systems and still fails to evolve, we should know the cause. Remember, each and every one of us has been taught to believe in strength in numbers, which means you individually have to believe and accept your weakness and irrelevance. So, if that is our foundational education, we simply can’t follow universal things like spirituality, justice, and one humanity as a whole. Whether it’s coming from our politically infected nations or religions, this political education has led us to literally believe in our personal and individual irrelevance. Meaning, we have been robbed of our individual self-respect and self-esteem by our own groups. Instead of demanding equal human individual rights, we have been taught to demand group rights. Remember, demanding those group rights has brought us group disputes and, yet, thousands of religions and nations. So, why are we still banging our heads against the same wall? Regardless of it having led us to divide humanity into hundreds and even thousands of pieces. The question is, why do we still want the pieces?
Today’s time is the first, or probably the only, time when equal human rights are being asked by most of humanity, but as groups. Personally, I believe if we miss out on this opportunity and keep our identities as groups, we may end up blowing it all up, just like it has been predicted in our holy books. Sure, we can blame it all on God, but to me, if God had blessed us all with our atom of autonomy and related free will and personal sense of justice, we don’t really have that luxury. If that happens, we all are individually to blame because we did not assume the responsibilities of a CEO as God had granted us all equally. Remember, all our groups, nations, and religions are made of individuals and they all depend on our physical compliance to be meaningful. So, in reality, all our weaponry does not get shot on its own. Even with AI involved, a human individual’s physicality has to be behind setting it all up. So, being an atom of autonomy-holding human individual, we simply can’t be exonerated from our political-based actions. And yes, even if we say we are doing it all for our belonging group.
The philosophy of having guns in everyone’s hands to keep the crime rate low has been proven to be wrong and has backfired, not only at the individual levels but at our national level as well. Regardless of our nuclear weaponry, our wars did not stop and, just as a reminder, we did use nuclear weapons. An emotionally distressed and blinded by the revenge of love-loss individual or a nation does not think that far, especially if they are emotionally affected by the love loss. So, understanding the pain of love loss, not only at the individual level but also collectively, is essential. In today’s time, we can’t be preaching each other’s destruction without the risk of harming ourselves. Meaning, if you are a politician or a religious leader, think hard and far and deep enough before preaching or expressing your emotionally charged points of view. Interestingly, most religions talk about compassion openly, but when it comes to practice, the result is zero because the death toll of religious disputes is impossible to count.
Strength in numbers and group politics have been taking their toll for thousands of years, if you go religiously, but millions of years if you go scientifically. It’s time we start to look at the reasons why fear-based philosophy does not work for human beings. Most religions have tried it yet failed to produce results. If you ask Lady Google, she will tell you the crime rate of religious societies is higher than that of secular societies. Meaning, the fear of hell or greed of heaven does not work in modern-day fact-based humanity. Remember, keeping the crime rate down in religious societies was doing pretty well by force but only until humanity started to ask for equal human rights and even the younger generations started to question their authorities. When religions started humming and hawing or hesitating to adopt, agree to, or provide spiritual principles like equal human rights, they labeled themselves as political systems. No wonder in today’s societies, religions are losing the respect they have enjoyed for thousands of years. So, if the general population is not obeying them, it is not a coincidence. When a race, nation, or religion loses its spiritual principles, it simply loses the respect of its most relevant source: yes, its physically living, breathing human individuals. That means their days are numbered because the history of humanity shows a graveyard full of those.
Bush and cave times are long gone when our group strength was really meaningful and important for the individual. Today, things have drastically changed and are even changing fast. So, we all have to keep up with the changes. Remember, we don’t fight with swords, spears, and arrows anymore. Today, all it takes is an individual with a briefcase or a rocket with a warhead because modern-day technology can simply wipe out a city full of people in an instant. Shouldn’t we be trying to understand our emotional status and the reasons why we are building up that arsenal?
Sure, as an individual belonging to today’s time, most of us seek and are even willing to give and receive equal human individual rights, but our group politics still has the power to brainwash individuals. That is why, regardless of our evolutionary nature, we can’t seem to outgrow these hormone-based urges. Remember, by nature, we all are individually equipped with DNA that has its spiritual side-related knowledge. On top of all that, we even have an unstoppable evolutionary nature. Yet some of us still don’t use our God-given knowledge and capabilities. So, the majority of us still blindly believe in whatever our political groups want us to believe. That is why, even in today’s humanity, there are people who still don’t believe in equal human rights.
Unfortunately, our groups have been and are able to brainwash us into believing that we somehow are better than other groups just by being born into, joining in, or belonging to a certain group of people. If you look at it logically, these kinds of belief systems are founded on and are preaching inequality. They simply preach not only inequality, but also bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination as well. So, if you dig a little deeper or think further, by them claiming that God is their cousin as well, they are committing a spiritual sin by involving a universal entity like God in their prejudice and discrimination. Don’t agree with me? Just try to count the number of innocents who have been killed or are being killed in the name of religions.
Since nuclear and biological weaponry has the potential to wipe out humanity altogether—and interestingly, humanity’s end has been predicted in our holy books—I believe this may not be brought on by our spiritual God but by us being brainwashed into believing in our group politics. Remember, in the last thousands of years, our knowledge of God has not changed simply because we have been told that we all have to die before we can find out. This means we have no idea why we kill each other in the name of God. We need to evolve in all departments of life equally so we can understand our emotions as well as we understand our nuclear weaponry. This way, we can clearly see the politics behind our nationalism and religious beliefs.
Personally, I believe we cannot learn anything about our individual spirituality unless we can individually separate the politics of belonging to our groups from our personal and individual spiritual beliefs. If you want to look at the causes of the high number of religions and their sects, disputes, and wars, you need to put the politics of belonging to your group aside and see what happens to you. This will free you to look beyond your emotional or hormonally influenced political belonging. You will be able to see why our religious wars have always been an ongoing process throughout the history of humanity.
Technologically, we have a lot of evolution and progress to show, but not a lot of understanding regarding our emotional belonging to nationalism and religions. Humanity has an imbalance related to evolution. The question is why we are lagging behind, especially when it comes to accepting that all human beings are equal and even human beings. The simple answer is individual weakness and the brainwashing power in the hands of our groups.
Ever wonder why most, if not all, human societies have court systems? And why, as human individuals, we are all responsible for our physical actions? Question yourself and see what you come up with. Logically, if you remove the spiritual content of a human individual, which allows us to become and be acknowledged as a human being—someone who takes responsibility for personal actions, uses free will, has a personal sense of justice, and is blessed with the abilities to be compassionate and loving—you are left with only your physical makeup. Interestingly, even at those points, everything points towards equality. We all need oxygen to experience this mortal life; we need water, food, and love to survive. Yet we are taught to believe in robbing each other of all that. Remember, we are all born the same way, get sick, age, and die the same way. We are all born with the ability to use free will, which helps us choose. We all have a personal sense of justice and the ability to use compassion and love. Sure, we could be affected by the level of education, life circumstances, love loss, and political influences. Interestingly, regardless of all that, we are still responsible for our physical actions. If we allow our groups to use us as their political puppets, we are responsible for that as well. To me, as human individuals, we all have the abilities to sift through all political influences and understand what we hold within as human individuals. That can only happen if we are spiritually whole and grounded at our individual level. Remember, our groups still believe in their politics of killing and dominating each other as if we are still living in the bush and caves. To evolve from all that, we individually have to protect and grow our spirituality. Regardless of individual understanding of the dangers of modern-day war weaponry, why are we emotionally still trying to live like other creatures or like our ancestors who did not have today’s technology? Nor were their populations seeking equal human rights like in today’s time. Interestingly, if we are fighting over religious beliefs we can’t physically explain or fully understand, what are we really fighting over?
I am going to say it as it is, in clear and easily understandable words. Logically, if you can’t come back and explain what happens after we die because we have to die first to find that out, it means if we kill each other over it, that would be related to our individual ignorance. So, we should not kill each other over our incomplete knowledge or for political reasons. In the end, by giving us free will, God made us responsible for our personal actions. I believe it’s time for us human beings to evolve beyond our hormones related to political influences.
I personally believe in God and the afterlife as well, but I keep my priorities and realities straight. I believe my living years are my physical reality, and after I die, I will enter an unknown or metaphorical reality-based world. Now the question is, should I kill someone or take their physical reality away over my metaphorical reality-based beliefs? Especially if I don’t have any clear answers? Obviously, I have to die first to find out what is on the other side of my death or what my situation or reality will be. On top of all that, if I am a spirit, would I take swings at someone, punch, or chop their head off with my metaphorical sword? If we can’t tell anything other than the personal lights out, why do we still keep sending each other to the other side? Yet our metaphorical God needs living, breathing human beings or hands in this physically real world to convert spirituality into physical actions so everything can be physically meaningful.
Looking at Egyptian history, people believed so deeply that they took their material things along. Don’t forget, we have been robbing every tomb of Egyptian gods and kings, yet we still believe in the physicality of our metaphorical realities. It may seem that I don’t believe in the afterlife or whatever is on the other side. Not at all, but I believe in keeping our metaphorical and physical realities separate. Learn all about their differences and keep those differences in mind at all times. In today’s time, we literally need to add our new virtual realities to that count as well. We should all know what we are physically experiencing and what simply can or can’t be explained. In other words, our metaphorical realities should not override our physical realities or be used as physical realities. In simple words, if we don’t have our physical body, everything will be or at least should be a metaphorical reality. Since metaphorical realities can’t be explained physically, they should not be the foundation of our justice systems, nor should they be used to rob someone of their physical reality. Remember, we have the ability to use free will, and we can also use our personal sense of justice. Normally, our personal problems start when our group politics takes over us individually and from within. So, we personally need to take charge and learn all about our realities.
Since our metaphorical realities are sold to us as more important than our real and physical world, we individually should be aware of the politics behind them. Remember, in our religious settings, logic, science, and justice usually take a back seat to our political belonging. Always remember, our metaphorical worlds—worlds because we are all taught differently—have never been the same, clearly explained, or proven scientifically.
Spillage of some chemicals in the blood tells us that we get physically influenced even by our political belonging. This means the way we think can dictate how we feel. So, if we feel from the thoughts, shouldn’t our thoughts be harnessed to be a human being? Remember, as a human individual, we are supposed to have the ability to control our urges and emotions, whether they are created by nature or the politics of belonging.
We become human beings because of our spirituality-related inhibitions. So, we individually should have the power to override our physical urges. This means that even if our political leaders use fiery speeches to get our juices flowing, those chemical-related issues are our personal issues. Logically, we are responsible for controlling the urges. Remember, we have all been equally blessed with free will and a personal sense of justice. Being human takes a lot more than just being a social creature. It takes becoming a CEO of our lives who can override and control those hormone-related physical urges. Interestingly, we are in the process of evolution, so maybe not in my lifetime, but in the future, we may learn to override our political belonging to our groups and think of belonging to humanity as a whole.
The question is, if you don’t understand it all, should you be killing others over God? Personally, I believe we hide the urge of revenge for the pain of our love loss and want to inflict that same pain on those who caused it. Usually, our resource, land, and love loss-related conflicts are politically converted into religious conflicts because whenever religions get involved or exploited, wars can go on forever. This means our belonging groups know how they can have a steady supply of people who can be inspired to kill and die for their cause. These political tactics have been and are continuously used throughout history, and even today, we can’t get away from them. This is because human beings are not evolved enough to understand emotions and related behaviors, so our politicians take advantage of our vulnerabilities.
Since the era we are born into belongs to a trend called equal human individual rights and free speech, I am going to speak my mind because I believe my brain is designed to hold an ocean and space all rolled up in one. Yet my belonging group says stay within the stream of your installed knowledge. Sure, that makes me question myself and my belonging group simultaneously. Politically, we don’t want to let go of our ancestral beliefs. This means humanity is being torn apart by our political group belonging, which is limiting, yet our spiritual nature calls for putting an anchor in space to climb way beyond the insecurity-based political lines and boundaries created by our belonging groups. The problems faced by all of us are related to our politics of belonging, rather than our spiritual nature. If you always and honestly keep a spiritual thing like equal human rights in front of you, you will be willing to give and receive equal human rights. If you are spiritual, regardless of being a passionate believer of your belonging religion, you may make some concessions and adopt a live-and-let-live attitude with compassion and love. Otherwise, you will be tainted or infected by the politics of belonging and lose your spirituality.
In a spiritual and just world, things are straightforward, meaning there are no politically twisted truths or injustices. All our group superiority and related hate are politically instilled from the start. As human individuals, it is our responsibility to understand that doing to others what we wouldn’t want done to us or our loved ones is a spiritual crime.
Picture yourself in a time when other creatures saw you as food. That situation would automatically make you stick together for safety and survival. Now, fast forward to the modern era and observe what is happening. Insecurity makes us all compromise to some degree. One way or another, most of us follow the laws of the land we live on without questioning. We tend to follow our traditions, customs, and even rituals to be part of our belonging groups, whether they make any sense or not. At an individual level, we often ignore the spiritual calls of our atom of autonomy and evolving nature. As social creatures, we can surpass our fear-related internal calls when it comes to helping others, which is why politicians try to touch us in that tender spot.
Logically, we follow these so-called identities and loyalties because we have been taught to believe in our insecurities. Most of us are susceptible to influence, but safety or not, when it comes to our physical realities, all the politics of belonging and related loyalties are connected to our full stomachs. If it comes to our physical realities like survival, we should all come down from our sky-high political world and join each other on the ground of physical realities where we are all human beings without any political identity crisis.
When it comes to love, a family member is as important as your community. If you pick your community over your loved one, you have a broken love triangle. This happens because you don’t consider yourself the CEO of your life and allow your own realities to be influenced. Your understanding of the mortality clock has been affected. If you worry unnecessarily and try to control things you have no control over, you need to look at your allotted time critically. You can live that way, but your happiness and contentment might be compromised by your own behaviors because you have followed your belonging group without questioning. Ask yourself: if God has given you a temporary visit, how would you want to live this life? Remember that you carry your own atom of autonomy within. You possess spiritual jewels like free will, a personal sense of justice, compassion, and love, among other abilities. After acknowledging this, you should adhere to the spiritual rule number one: “Don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones.”
If you look down at your physical body or inner self, fix it. If you can’t fix your identity crisis, try examining your political belonging critically to see if you have been politically brainwashed. If you feel stuck and buried under group belonging, you are stereotyping humanity according to what you have been taught to believe. This means all those political identities are robbing you of your real identity within a short visit.
If your Mullah, Priest, religious leader, or politician can’t rise above sexual scandal, think beyond the education you have been given, because that is what an evolving human being should do. Learn to live in the era you are born into, and remember today belongs to equal human individual rights. If you have been taught to believe that you are somehow better because of being born into or believing in a certain system, it’s time to revisit that philosophy. Your spirituality should call for justice, and equal human rights are founded on justice. If your beliefs make you act like a bigot, prejudiced, or discriminatory, it’s not their power but rather your spiritual weakness. If you bring God into it, that’s even worse because now you are labeling God with it as well. Why would you want to live like that, knowing you are just visiting? If you believe in your metaphorical realities to guide you, at least pick the good stuff to create a positive picture to benefit your visit. If you kill each other over metaphorical or not clearly understood realities, logically, you have it all wrong because the purpose of having the knowledge of those metaphorical realities is to benefit you while visiting your physical reality. Robbing someone or yourself of your physical reality in the name of a metaphorical one has nothing to do with God or spirituality and everything to do with the politics of belonging and your individual ignorance of misplaced realities.
Understand your fast-ticking hand of the second or your circle-related story and the story of your unknown simultaneously because your second circle runs on the story of the world’s political changes, like religions, isms, and evolution in human awareness of unknowns. The third circle, where even groups can’t prevent things, includes natural disasters, life, death, God, and all our other unknowns. Now, should you try to control it all, and why? For some of us, it is destiny because humanity needs those individuals to set the bar higher so we all can evolve. One has to sacrifice their happiness and contentment to be one of those people. Humanity has no shortage of those people. If you are one of them, remember you are the CEO of your life and are choosing to spend your life visit for a cause. Regardless of what you think, if you don’t choose to stand in your own corner, it’s your choice. If you don’t believe you have a choice, think about how God’s world works. If you still don’t understand, simply follow Godly orders and evolve for God’s sake because without our evolution, we have been and are still killing each other in the name of our political belonging.
I don’t have any problem with people believing or not believing in God. I wholeheartedly believe in God, spirituality, and equal justice for all. That is why I am writing this blog. My problems start with religious beliefs when they believe in doing injustice to a living, breathing human being yet claim to be a spiritual system. Since I believe a human individual is a physically working hand of God, I have a lot of respect for those who convert spirituality into physical actions. If religions claim to be spiritual systems and are Godly yet commit spiritual crimes against each other’s belonging individuals and justify their killing as God’s orders, I draw my lines there and call a spade a spade. To me, all the killings have been and are there because of our groups, nations, and religious politics. That means they have been infected with the infection of political belonging to our groups. Remember, spirituality, justice, and God are universal and have nothing to do with anything belonging to group politics. Ever wonder why we have good people in all human societies regardless of religion? When our groups claim that the human individual is not important, they undermine human physicality, and that is simply an injustice. Most political groups don’t acknowledge that as a spiritual crime.
Political affiliations can often overshadow the essential role of the individual in the grand scheme of life. Even spiritual systems, including religions, are not immune to this influence, particularly when they elevate concepts like God and the Devil as central figures. Despite their significance, both require the physical presence of humans to be effective and meaningful. Thus, if a religion preaches the irrelevance of individuals, it contradicts its own spiritual teachings.
Our good and bad actions depend on human physicality to have real impact. For instance, if a spiritually good thought does not translate into physical action, it holds little value. Reciting sacred texts such as the Quran, Bible, or Torah is insufficient if not accompanied by action. A belief alone cannot satisfy a hungry stomach; physical nourishment is necessary for survival and thought.
We need both the physicality of humans and the spirituality of concepts like God and the Devil to illuminate spiritual knowledge. One without the other is inadequate. If you place God and the Devil at the top corners of a triangle with humans as the base, it underscores that without humans, neither good nor bad can take tangible form. Disrespecting or rendering humans irrelevant is politically motivated and not spiritually justified. Spirituality and justice lose their purity when tainted by politics. Therefore, respecting human individuals as fundamental to spirituality is crucial.
Spirituality begins with the individual, who physically manifests God’s essence. Without individuals, there would be no collective body or meaning. The problem lies not in the individual or the body but in how we perceive this relationship. If you value the whole body over its cells, that’s understandable. However, denying the importance of cells for political reasons is unspiritual. Spirituality and justice thrive when politics do not interfere, preserving their purity and value.
To evolve from our traditions, customs, rituals, and political affiliations, we should embrace a genuine belief in God, spirituality, justice, and humanity. We must focus on earthly realities where justice should be for all individuals, not just groups. Living in the present allows us to understand and fulfill our responsibilities as individuals before engaging in metaphorical realms. Identity crises driven by political and religious groups are weaknesses that lead to injustice and the subjugation of individuals. These groups often prioritize their interests over individual rights, leading to inequalities and even oppression.
Humanity has evolved beyond these outdated practices. We must break free from personal and political chains and assume our responsibilities as individuals. Comfort zones can be appealing, but not following our evolutionary nature leads to negative consequences, such as mental health issues and stagnation. It is destructive for both individuals and society as a whole.
Understanding our evolutionary nature helps us avoid contributing to political savagery and injustice. Every individual is responsible for their actions. Groups—whether gangs, races, nations, or religions—are made up of individuals. If each person resists political influences, we can prevent atrocities and promote positive evolution. Groups will evolve as individuals do because, in nature, progress typically flows from the bottom up.
If you view God and the Devil as controlling the outcomes, consider how the individual fits into this dynamic. The individual possesses free will, personal justice, compassion, and the ability to choose. Weakening individuals to make them rely on group strength compromises their spiritual principles. Political beliefs often lead us to feel insignificant in the grand scheme of life, yet individuals are the ones who make things happen. Those at the top benefit while individuals are exploited.
Today, individual strength, self-respect, and self-esteem are crucial. With the rising emphasis on equal human rights, we can all strive to understand, self-regulate, and correct our behaviors. Evolution is a constant process, whether or not one believes in God, political systems, or human rights. Despite the various forms of governance and belief systems throughout history, the consistent theme has been evolution. This pattern is evident in sports, technology, medicine, and all fields of human knowledge.
The resistance to change within religions and conservative ideologies highlights the ongoing challenge. However, if individuals respond to their inherent nature, humanity will continue to evolve.
If something is holding you back, it’s crucial to investigate the causes and ask both others and yourself why your current life or living years seem less significant than life after death. While exploring this, consider whether anyone has clear answers about what lies beyond our physical existence. Why not believe that God requires our physicality to manifest goodness? This perspective suggests that our present life is where we truly have the power to make a difference. Therefore, our actions should reflect a sense of duty and love, rather than fear and greed, as has been preached for centuries.
Logically, if we must die to discover what lies beyond, then everything we do in anticipation of the afterlife can be seen as a gamble. If you are genuinely committed to living for the love of God, rather than being driven by the fear of hell or the greed for heaven, then your spirituality should be pure and not influenced by political motives. If politics is diminishing your relevance and self-esteem, it is neither just nor spiritual. Someone is benefiting from your diminished sense of worth, and it isn’t you or God. So, who stands to gain from this manipulation?
You possess your own unique atom of autonomy, granting you free will and a personal sense of justice. Why, then, would you inflict on others what you would not want for yourself or your loved ones? Why seek to belong to the strongest group? Is it due to insecurity, and if so, why? Is it influenced by your education, personal experiences, or political factors? Such influences might indicate that you are suffering from a sense of irrelevance. Your relationship with God and spirituality may lack purity if it is driven by blind faith rather than genuine belief in yourself and your abilities.
If your spirituality is lacking, it’s time to reevaluate your mindset. Break free from political and religious constraints, and instead, embrace universal principles such as belief in one true God, humanity, and blind justice based on solid spiritual foundations. Regardless of your race, gender, color, nation, or religion, your primary role is to be a human being with autonomy and spiritual wisdom. Embrace this with pride and use your free will and sense of justice to act with compassion, bravery, generosity, and love. By fulfilling your responsibilities and reciprocating the gifts of life, you need not worry about the afterlife.
If your education has turned you into a political puppet, causing you to act against your values or those of your loved ones, your issue is not spiritual but political. Allowing political affiliations to override spiritual principles means you must confront your internal conflict. Living with internal turmoil can feel like a form of hell. Remember, your belonging group, nation, or religious beliefs do not have the answers to your personal problems—you do. While you can pray for peace of mind, God may be guiding you to seek answers directly, without the baggage of political influence.
Embrace spirituality over mere religiosity, and align yourself with humanity rather than a political group. Justice should be universal, like God and spirituality. Divisions among humanity arise not from our inherent nature or spiritual beliefs but from spiritually weakened individuals and strong political influences.
To truly evolve, you must advance in all aspects of life and reach your potential. Otherwise, you risk repeating the mistakes of your ancestors, who fought over resources and ideologies, despite thousands of years of evolution. Our evolutionary nature should guide us to resolve problems, not perpetuate them. Learning from history and striving to evolve are essential for progress.
Consider the analogy of muscle building, which involves creating micro-tears in muscles through exercise. As you recover, your body adapts to handle increased intensity. Similarly, spiritual micro-tears from challenging political status quos can drive evolution. While progress may be slow, as seen in the fight for equal human rights, it is a necessary process of adaptation and growth.
Facing fears and overcoming challenges are crucial for evolution. If you shy away from growth, your life will remain limited compared to those who push boundaries and set higher standards for future generations. This ongoing pursuit of progress is evident in all human societies, regardless of race, gender, or religion.
Speak up, confront your fears, and strive for balance. Mastering fear is key, as is avoiding extremes. Embrace spiritual growth through micro-tears and adaptation to evolve safely and strengthen your metaphorical or spiritual muscles.
I believe that while God may have initiated our existence from simple cells, our spiritual essence encompasses much more. God granted us life and sustaining circumstances, but it is our responsibility to fulfill our spiritual duties of reciprocation. If everything you do is driven by a genuine love for the action itself, you are fulfilling your personal journey. However, if your actions are motivated by the desire to fit in, impress others, or seek admiration from your group, you risk straying from your spiritual path. This can lead to unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and other health issues.
In essence, adapt to your surroundings and personal growth at your own pace. An example from my upbringing illustrates this: before pushing your finger through a piece of paper, poke it with pinholes. This metaphor highlights the importance of gradual growth—not only for physical development but also for spiritual growth. If you have set unrealistic standards for yourself, believing that life must be perfect, you must learn to embrace imperfections and the process of growth through “micro-tears.”
As I grew up, I realized that there is limitless potential for learning—not just about the vast streams of knowledge but also about the depths within ourselves. This continuous thirst for knowledge has opened doors to new experiences and insights. For instance, this blog represents an ongoing process of learning and growth. While I cannot predict the future, I know that this journey makes me eager to learn more and evolve. It signifies that I am following my evolving nature and am open to new ideas, rather than adhering rigidly to traditions or rules that do not resonate with me.
I believe that our metaphorical world, which is not grounded in physical reality, should be respected more than our physical world. This does not mean I do not believe in God. On the contrary, I view myself as a cell of God with the responsibility to reciprocate and act meaningfully in the physical world. Therefore, optional prayers are insufficient. If we are blessed with free oxygen, a functioning body, and the opportunity to enjoy life, we must reciprocate by translating spirituality into physical actions. Unfortunately, I see many undermining God’s work by harming each other, thus contradicting the divine purpose.
We should strive to improve ourselves personally rather than competing to dominate others. Given our evolution, we should have transcended primal instincts and the politics of group belonging. As I have mentioned, we are crucial partners in illuminating the wisdom of God, spirituality, and humanity. We contribute to the divine light in the world. Consider this: if all humans were removed, what would happen to the concepts of God and Devil? Would they hold meaning or relevance? This thought experiment challenges us to remove political influences and see what remains. Doing so may help us learn to respect all living beings more and approach life with humility and genuine spirituality.
Seeking knowledge and growth should not be restricted by complete or unquestionable beliefs. God’s inherent call for evolution means that we must embrace challenges, create micro-tears, and adapt to new stresses. This process involves breaking away from the status quo and relentlessly pursuing growth until the end of our lives.
I respect monks but believe that monastic life is not a divine mandate but rather a product of religious politics. The desire to fit in, impress others, or seek admiration often stems from a hidden political sense of belonging. I assert that all human beings are integral to the divine puzzle and have the responsibility to make life meaningful through physical actions. Being human means embracing this journey fully, including helping oneself as well as others. Exclusively living for oneself or others is not divinely sanctioned.
Self-sacrifice, often connected to fitting in or seeking admiration, may not be a genuine spiritual pursuit but rather a manifestation of deep-seated political influences. We all can live for a cause, but this should align with our free will and personal sense of justice, not just for others but for ourselves as well. This is not about promoting selfishness but about finding balance. Our spiritual journey involves justice for ourselves as well.
If you believe that God requires your obedience, remember that such demands are likely from controlling authorities, not God. God has endowed us with autonomy and the capacity for evolution. Therefore, questioning and understanding the politics behind traditions, customs, rituals, and rules—especially those imposed by force—are essential. Whether religious or not, the essence of working hands is a reflection of God’s purpose.
While we are blessed with free will, being good is not optional; it is a duty. Strive to be a well-evolved, good person for the sake of God and humanity, as your actions transcend group politics and reflect universal justice. Beliefs dictated by groups may be politically tainted, so seek to understand spirituality through a broader lens rather than being confined by religious or political boundaries. Treat others as you would like to be treated, with respect and compassion.
Religions have been around for thousands of years with the aim of helping human beings. However, instead of alleviating fear, anxiety, and depression, extreme religious demands can sometimes exacerbate these issues. Simply adhering to traditional ways of thinking or prescribed practices does not necessarily resolve spiritual concerns. I am not suggesting that religious and spiritual practices alone can heal all health problems, but I believe that genuine spirituality and reciprocation can help us address our shortcomings.
With millennia of traditional religious teachings, becoming a truly spiritual being is no easy task. It requires transcending political affiliations to specific groups and questioning the authority of prescribed holy texts. By directly believing in a universal God and embracing spirituality and humanity as a whole, we can reduce fear and anxiety. After all, we cannot even breathe without divine support. If you have been alive for a while, it’s reasonable to trust that this support will continue. If you seek help from your group, remember that they are just as vulnerable and dependent as you are. Hence, connecting directly with your source through honest reciprocation is crucial.
Trusting God for spiritual guidance is sensible, but placing your group above God can be problematic. There are over 4,200 religions, each dividing God into different interpretations. If God is only for some and not for all, that’s a form of political division. Logically, you do not get oxygen or a functioning body merely by following prescribed rules. Political affiliations to groups can be seen as a form of addiction. If you become an extremist, sacrificing your free will and personal sense of justice, you are not truly embracing the universality of God or connecting with your spiritual nature. Instead, you may seek security and comfort only among people who share your vulnerabilities, rather than finding solace in a broader spiritual context.
If you adhere strictly to your religion’s practices—praying, fasting, and following prescribed rituals—you should ideally be free from fear, control, and insecurity-based health problems. If you experience these issues, critically evaluate your situation. Our advanced education and imagination can shape our understanding of what is important. You have been breathing oxygen and living in a complex body with trillions of cells, all requiring evolving knowledge to comprehend. Since life and death are beyond our control, it is essential to accept this reality. Worry and stress will not change this; they will only accelerate your problems.
The question of what happens after death remains unanswered until you experience it yourself. Worrying excessively about this can detract from the richness of your present life. Living in fear constricts your existence, making you hesitant to take even simple actions like crossing the street. Life was not meant to be lived in fear and control, but our group-based education often diminishes the individual’s relevance. It can undermine self-esteem, instill fear of hell, and promote greed for an afterlife, leading to anxiety and mental health issues. Fortunately, we live in an era where individual rights are increasingly recognized, yet some so-called spiritual people oppose equal rights and refuse to help refugees, forgetting that human individuals give life to nations and religions.
God is meaningful when human beings use their physical presence to enact positive change. Just as circling a tree in a jungle can make it seem more sacred, we should recognize that individual lives and physical realities are more significant than traditionally taught. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, your imagination can create or dismiss them. Similarly, facing your personal demons can reveal whether they are real or products of politically influenced beliefs.
Can you question everything without discrimination? If you follow your group’s teachings blindly, remember that you live in an era of equal rights, scientific knowledge, and a physical world with repeatable results. You will be questioned about everything you do or believe. Reflect on your identity: Can you truly believe you are closer to God than others who share the same right to breathe and live? If their actions align with God’s will, then God would influence their behavior. Believing otherwise may imply that you are incorporating your political views into your understanding of God. God represents our metaphorical reality, and all humans are considered God’s physical agents. Your sense of superiority may stem from politically tainted education rather than divine preference.
So, do you want to involve God in your biases and discrimination? Such actions could be considered a significant spiritual error, as they wrongly attribute God to human prejudices.
