As a young boy I read a story called, ” The Golden Egg “, expressing an idea that we humans could use this idea to learn about greed and stupidity. The story was one of many that were a part of Aesop’s Fables numbered 87 in the ” Perry Index.”of
A man found a chicken which laid a golden egg and everyday and he became more rich. One day someone asked him, do you know where those eggs are coming from? Why don’t you find out where the eggs are coming from so you can get them all at once instead of one at a time.
The chicken was killed and therefore he did not get any more eggs.
Whether it was curiosity, greed or stupidity, he lost all the Golden Eggs because he had killed the chicken.
When we look at today’s world nothing has changed from the past because we have been killing each other and are still fighting over whose God is the true God of all MAN. Where is God? Where does God live? Does God live up somewhere in the space or right inside the human individual?
Did God create the universe? Did human being and all the creatures create God? Did human beings create God just to control their fellow human beings? Does anyone have enough brain power to answer these questions?
Could it be that all or most of the issues regarding God have never been or still are not resolved because the lack of ability to use full potential brain power. We refuse to and are unwilling to try to understand the reasons why we have been and are still killing each in the name of the God we worship. We are told that God exists but we have no evidence as we have never seen God, hell or heaven in our life. There are a multitude of versions of religious stories regarding “God”, and man has made movies that attempt to show us what they want us to believe. Our animalistic or egotistic wars are the real realities with the so called proof. The footage can be seen but it CANNOT explain in real terms what we are fighting over.
When we are digging into the answers with our limited brain power, are we coming up with the answers as facts? Is this an egotistic extreme, or do we need to keep the basic fundamentals in front.
If you are born into a family with certain religious beliefs, that does not mean you are not a human being first. All born humans are a human being first. Individually it also does not mean that you don’t have a free will to be a free individual. If you don’t know enough about yourself, it is your responsibility and duty to learn about yourself and your religious belief’s before you are willing to kill someone you don’t even know. If you don’t know God nor you know the one you are willing to kill, why are you willing to kill in the name of God? Where do you stand as a human being and where do you fit in your free will ?
We all should remember that the human individual is an individual who can express themselves as being of spirituality and physicality knowledge. We usually function physically to do the spiritual work of God while we are alive. We can’t expect to live or survive without the spirit which resides within themselves.
This free spirited entity can be disastrous for socialism and communism if given the total freedom. Many, but not all of our governing systems, including religions, socialism or communism call for us to have our governing systems to regulate and control their citizens. This starts to conflict with the individual free will so the extremists start to use individual’s weakness for their political reasons. That is how changes in certain societies, where the so called religious leaders became the religious leaders as well as the and the government. These leaders were now in control of the religious groups and the government, instead of being the leaders of the individual or the humanity as a whole.
These groups began to have their own agendas. Their political interests and humanity got stuck in the the eternal conflicts of groups and in the foundation of our wars. The most important thing is the conflict between the individualism and the communism, socialism and religions. It looks easier and simpler to control the individual and make them sacrifice their lives over the mass of the groups they follow. The question is: Is it a good justice system? If not it is closer to the politics but far from the spirituality.
Not only it is an extreme, it is against the individual human rights. It is the individual who is mortal. He/She has a temporary life with the responsibilities of reciprocation thus they deserve a decent life for themselves as well as others. Genetically we are not like bees or ants, yet we are expected by the group we choose to follow to live that way. If you start to live for yourself you are told that is wrong so what is right? Equal human rights even against the mass is the right way. The Politics of religion or any idea that is used by a group to sway us against our core beliefs is to be avoided. The mortality of the individual is a reality so going to either extreme is wrong for the individual. The balance is required for the individual to do the right things. Living with reciprocation is related with this balance even with God.
Simply a person with personal interests would follow the politics of their group over the interests of humanity as a whole. Look at our political parties agendas they cater to certain segments of populations. Interestingly opposing parties come in and out of the power yet things don’t seem to change for the individual.
Digging a little deeper and finding out the truth would help to find the solutions but we never seem to reach because of the politics of our group we belong to. As an individual we are taught right from the childhood that you are Muslim, Christian, Pakistani, Canadian, black or white or any other group. But we never are related to humanity as a whole. That may be the reason why we all are stuck in our group politics, yet by nature, who is keep calling for us to be a human being and get together as a humanity.
All the recent problems humanity is facing are related with the humanity and the human individual sufferings. Things like Global Warming as well as the instant news and solutions for our problems are being written about. This information is so readily available that they are surpassing the man made political lines of the global society.
International space station and internet are related with their new technologies and they all point towards the need for the humanity to work together.
If one thinks that they can live as a group in a personal and quite corner with the safety provided by your group, you are wrong. You have to evolve with others and with the changing times because everyone of us is going to be effected regardless as to where they live. Weather extremes, ocean rising and floods don’t recognize the political boundaries of humanity.
Scientists still don’t have the clear answers because they keep learning new things everyday, so they should not claim they know everything there is to know.
Most Religious people still ignore the scientific discoveries. Some religions still can’t agree over the moon related holidays, even though it has been disproven by the research from the space station for many years. Many religions do not accept the findings that have been proven by the scientists on the space stations even though this is agreed by most nations of the Earth to be scientifically accurate. The problem is that we are unwilling to mix science and religion. Yet we mix our politics and religion openly to sway the opinion of the mass to use them for political purposes.
We have drugs like insulin which we can choose to use to save an individual’s life or water connection for the dry land to produce more crops. Should we accept that these should be used or do we say that our God forbids it and we let the followers of the other belief systems die? Whether it is food or water for the starving people, animals or plants or modern technology and science related inventions, it is all spiritual if it helps the humanity to evolve regardless of its origin.
One of the Islamic religious teachings says,” If your neighbor sleeps hungry, your food is not (Halaal) or kosher for you to eat. This example is to say that you can’t be entering to the heaven if you eat non kosher foods. It is as spiritual as it can get yet, look at this with the different lens. You can drop a nuclear bomb and kill hundreds of thousands people in an instant and millions with after effects. This is our scientific knowledge and with our on going religious wars, no one can count the death toll of the individual suffered from religious differences related extreme. If you live on the Earth and are a human being you are a neighbor to each other. We are even calling the distant planets as our neighbor planets but not the human being living beyond our self created political boundaries.
Both science and religions claim that they are good for the humanity, I would not agree unless they accept the responsibility of the harms they have caused to the human individual. Drug interactions kill and we are told the deaths are disease or age related. We use scientifically advanced war weapons of conventional and chemical to kill the opposing human beings. There is no way of finding out the number of individual victims of the science and religion.
According to my logic all human knowledge should be for the advancement of the humanity which should benefit the human individual as well as the humanity as a whole.
Our politics of sense of belonging cause our knowledge to harm some people yet benefit the others so it is not spiritual. We have been struggling to evolve in our social departments but our politics of sense of belonging to our groups take us away from the personal sense of justice. This means we may be progressing in select departments of life but regressing in the others. By now we should be able to live together without the discrimination and prejudice, but it is not a reality yet. Since religions don’t let us evolve to respect the human individual’s life to mend and fix our differences, we keep acting like animals yet in the name of God.
Since personally I believe God lives physically through the humanity so we all individually can perform God’s physical work, should we still believe in God yet commit spiritual crimes against innocent individuals.
Back to the chicken, I believe that in this case a human individual is the chicken which lays a golden egg every day. Going to find the egg and egotistically killing the chicken is a similar scenario. If we keep killing the human individual yet with our scientific discoveries, we will end up with a ghost town called “Earth.” In this ghost town town called “EARTH” God would not mean anything to anybody or anyone even including God himself. I would not call this curiosity and greed, I would call it spiritual crime.
If you kill the human individual in the name of science or religion you are killing the chicken which lays golden eggs. Ask yourself this question, “Are you doing this for the politics of greed or plain and simple stupidity? You can help the humanity but you choose to kill each other instead. Ever wonder why? What does this mean to you? Wouldn’t you like to know as an individual or even as a group? Seek the answers and you will reach to the politics of your sense of belonging to your chosen groups.
That is where the ego, pride and honour, is coming from so, you can stay stuck in the religious and nationalism related discrimination and prejudice. You can choose your political extreme and keep committing the spiritual crimes against the human individuals or use your free will to find your personal sense of justice to promote equal human rights.
Don’t kill the chicken in order to find out where the golden eggs are coming from. Whether you are a scientist or a religious fanatic, and if you assume you know everything there is to know, why don’t you find out that why you are learning new things everyday? Why is humanity advancing in all other areas of life.
If you want to see the proof, just look in today’s individuals hands. Why is everyone holding a constantly evolving cell phone?
God or no God, it is the human individual who is laying a new golden egg everyday by their evolving knowledge.
Killing this chicken brings the emotional love loss, which has the potential to inhibit our ability to evolve from within to become a loving human being. You can be very knowledgeable in all other areas of your life, but if you fall for the politics of your group that you have chosen to follow. Remember it is robbing you of your personal sense of justice, you have to take charge. If you keep letting this happen, your knowledge does not contain wisdom and spirituality. You have nothing to show as an individual but the politics of your group thus you are just an extension of an ideology, yet you have been blessed with the free will just like everyone else.
If a scientist or a religious scholar takes the politics of sense of belonging out, then and only then he/she can become humble and will respect the others . As you dig deeper to find out where the eggs are coming from, the more you dig the more you find out that you don’t know everything yet.
All our wars are related to the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups so if you become the chief executive officer of your life and individually belong to the humanity as a whole. You will discover, why you have been blessed individually with the free will and related responsibilities.
Our religious scholars and scientists are arguing with their limited knowledge. Their emotions and passion come in to blind their ability to see the limited use of human brain power.
These religious scholars are just trying to kill the chicken to find the golden egg and when they can’t find it they use their egotistic assumptions and opinions. These egotistic opinions have robbed the essence of spirituality from our religions, and our science has lost the purpose of helping the humanity with the knowledge just to become a group to dominate the other less evolved nations.
All human knowledge is meant for the betterment and the benefit of the human individual and humanity as a whole. Our individual weakness has given all the powers to our belonging groups so our politics comes in the way to rob others of even life essentials. When we realize and become aware of our awareness we start to become torn to the point that we are able to see our social regression and technological progression with the weapons of mass destruction. Where are we heading you can draw the conclusions.There are many and it is up to you the direction that you choose. I know the direction that I will choose.
