The bushman with the cell phone

Watched a bushman dug out a bulb of vegetation in a very dry land. Scraped and squeezed some of the fluid out brilliantly to survive in the completely hostile environment. Marvelous wisdom of survival, yet the generations away from the modern technologies.

Human beings have survived the ice age, and can survive the modern-day global warming as well, but we have to get our act together. The droughts and extreme weather in the world should be enough to warn us, to band together and take care of the dead dogs of our problems.

Our survival instinct can and should force us to plan as a humanity or as a united nation because our survival depends upon that wisdom. The fundamental flaw in the knowledge of sense of belonging to a group is, that it works against the spirituality and humanity as a unit. It inspires nationalism and religion, which are political entities. Today the problems we face don’t have the solutions for a group of people because these problems have no boundaries, thus the solution is to evolve from this flawed knowledge and emerge as one humanity.

If the pipelines are being built for the oil, there should be pipelines for the water as well. From the excessive water areas to the drought ridden areas, if the humanity works together it would become a spiritual thing to do.

Business has its place but you have to look at it logically. The ghost towns of our past can teach a thing or two about the history and a common sense.

Cities or communities are not made of buildings, roads, railway lines or bridges. They are all build by the people for the people and used by the people, one individual at a time. Wherever there are resources people would live, otherwise everything loses its value because the value is to the individual. If the individual does not want to live in the area because their are no resources or comfort, the bigger problems will rise. If you see our communities, most of them are situated around the water sources.

Oil has its place but human beings survived millions of years without it, but it is a fact that we can’t survive without the water.

Even the pope is joining the scientists of today, previously that was unheard of. If pope can change his tune, Muslims should learn to make some amendments in the religious knowledge as well, because these days people are living higher up in the north. I think, higher up in north the prayers time and fasting times need and should be amended by the scholars. It just does not make sense and its not fair to the individual to follow something what can’t be followed. We have twenty four hour day light which dictates the times of prayers and fasting, if the religion runners can’t fix the problem, they have credibility problem. The disputes about the moon sighting is an other problem which can be solved easily. This day and age we should be able to take help from the scientists about the moon, instead of bickering about the moon sightings.

Our history shows that religious people never looked eye to eye with the scientists because scientist community don’t really believe in God. Past history shows that religious leaders have sided with the rich and powerful to maintain power and control over the ordinary folks. Power and control has always been the reason of politics and religions have been always part of the politics. Today’s Shia Sunny clashes are related with the purely political war, more than a thousand years ago, yet one of the first lesson of the Islam and the meaning of the Islam is peace. Where are the scholars of the both sides, why can’t they cross the lines of the sense of belonging to their groups and join the humanity. The jewellery of the religions have been compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love. What happen to the main lessons of the religion. It is a shame that both sides have the same slogan, “God is great” well God is great but the politics have been greater than the spirituality and God. The only wind under the sales of the conflict has been the weak individual who can’t become a CEO and stand against the belonging group’s wrong doing. You have to be honest and cheer for the better play, not for the team of your belonging group regardless of the bad play. A CEO can see through the emotional attachment and do the justice.

Even if you look at the religious vote internationally today, it usually goes to conservatives in Canada and to republicans in the United Stats.
I have always wondered why the most spiritually inspired ideas come from the democrats, yet they have been called as Godless people. Health care or taxing system to run the government funded help for the needy. Republicans and conservatives have all the religious people whom don’t want to help the poor, it is mind boggling for me.

I believe when you are sick you are the most vulnerable and need help. If a community is able to take care of its sick individuals in the difficult times, it is a healthy community, regardless of the politics. If any one suffers needlessly and could not be helped by the people around, it is not a spiritually healthy community because the essence of the community is the individual. When the individual suffers, eventually community suffers as well.

The brain drain is one of the most undeniable proof of today’s world. Educated people leave their communities because they want to be valued by the community. If most of the educated people end up in modern civilized countries, the people left behind would still believe, that the earthquake can happen by someone taking a naked pictures on the mountain.
Our ancestors had a belief that God is mad at us, if there was a storm or earthquake so
throwing virgins over the cliffs was a traditional sacrifice to please God. We have come long way from that. I think we are doing pretty good because now we are able to predict the path of the storms or tsunamis to save lives instead of throwing one over the cliff.

I was torn about the title for this article, it could have been the walls of the humanity but I went with the bushman with the cell phone.
The walls of humanity.

Say you are walking by, and see a guy banging his head against the wall, I am not talking the wailing wall, I mean literally you see him bleeding, you wonder oh the poor guy, there must be a really bad situation. You go to the next block and find ten or twenty of them banging their heads against the wall, now you are really worried about them. Then you find millions of them doing the same thing, now you start to wonder about your own sanity.
Our racial, gender, national or religious security is related with our perceptual walls.

We can build the majestic buildings or walls for prayers or banging our heads until we bleed. But God is no where close to these places, God is in the people, that is why the spiritual arms of the religions insist to help the humanity. A building is a building with out the people, or a wall is a wall of the boundaries.
If you look at your self and I mean really look at yourself, spiritually there are no boundaries, fences or caps to keep you down. A bush man with the technology has no limits, from genetics to space to spirituality nothing stops the bushman other than the his own perceptions.
Racial killings, as a matter of fact any kind of killings is robbing the God, humanity and the bushman’s potential, thus the political education of the belonging groups is limiting.

It is the time to get out of the notion of being right, because an evolving knowledge can never be right until it hits its potential and we are no where close to it.

The difference between God and the mankind has been created by the mankind itself. The walls of perceptions have been around since the infancy of the civilization. As a humanity we should be mature enough by now to see those walls.
Any kind of wall is unnatural for the human beings, whether its a wall of perception or security. The understanding of the mankind is rising, the wall of China or Berlin have become the part of our history.
We have been breaking walls in all areas of our life, our awareness of the human rights points towards the humanity as one organism or an entity. The important things we should try to secure are our planet and the oxygen, and they can’t be saved by building any kind of walls. Every fiver would count, so we need to spend where it counts. We can kill each other over the control of a ghost town or ghost planet. The interesting thing is that we are all mortal regardless. Just by looking in the past our grave yard of the individual life and the life of empires shows that how fragile we are.

Spiritually speaking there are no walls between mankind and God, but our religious and political knowledge tears us apart. We are taught that we are functioning on our own yet the reality is that we can’t function without the oxygen. On the other hand, weather the leaf moves on its own or not if the human beings are not there to appreciate it is meaningless. Spiritual part of the religious education is, for us to become a good person. When you are told that you are meaningless and worthless sinner that is completely a political statement.
You are a bushman with the fiver, and that fiver has had helped you to create the cell phone, helped you to save lives from the storms and tsunamis, break the genetic code, reach and land on the racing stars, while our ancestors worshiped even sacrificed human lives for nothing. Today we have the human rights over and above all the beliefs, no one can follow the human sacrifice or make someone victim of the traditional sati.
No one should stand on the fence because of our politics of sense of belonging to one particular group, remember it will be you who will judge your life with your conscience and character.
The bush man is extremely wise because he can survive in a very hostile environment but if you give him the cell phone with all the perks he can be a force to reckon with.

Today we are the bushmen with cell phones but our knowledge has gone to the sense of belonging to our groups and we are dying to kill our kind even with the weapons of mass destruction. If our fivers are always used up for our groups, how are we going to fight the global issues when we all have to chip in to pull together to survive? Would we have our fiver available when we really need it?
