December 2014 – Who Flipped My Triangle?

Prejudice…..

Prejudice does not mean hate or disliking the other groups, it’s the thinking that you are better than the others. Your education says that your ancestors were right and your belonging group would always be right. If you are taught that your family and you are better than others, it’s time to change that way of thinking, because the day you are born as a human you belong to humanity. Being black, white, brown, yellow, red, male, female, homo straight or bisexual, Pakistani, Arab, American, Canadian European, Russian, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, you believe in God, are an atheist, you pray more or all the time or don’t pray at all but give and donate to feed the hungry, which I believe is a living prayers. If you belong to any denomination of any religion, just remember every human individual belong under the umbrella of one humanity. Being better, depends on your compassionate character, sacrifice, forgiveness and love of the humanity, not by simply belonging to a certain group or participating in certain activity. Certain medical discoveries have been helping to save human lives literally by the millions, personally I believe every human life saved helps God because God’s work is done by the man, so I give credit where it deserves regardless of the belonging group. How many people use insulin to stay alive, most of the users would not even know the inventor, who discovered something which keeps them alive but they probably will be willing to kill for their religious leaders.

Today we should be able to overcome our differences with the equal human rights. The main cause of our social problems including our wars is our prejudice and the counter prejudice. Everything starts first in the house hold, then the community, our nations and religions preach the same way of thinking. Its time to cross those boundary lines our ancestors could not cross. Our wars start with the individual and they can end with the individual, because its the individual who makes a choice to join in the killing regardless of the reason. At that moment when you make a choice, you have the responsibility to judge the belonging group’s choice and better yet assess your self first why would you be willing to kill the innocents for your belonging group. If the answer is yes you may need to create some inner peace before you make the decision.

As a human being we all have been are and will be learning new things, this continuous evolution is a proof that we are an entity in the progress to pursue our potential. At this time we still use a percentage of our brain power, thus none of us can claim that we know everything there is to know. Allow yourself to carry an imaginary basket where you can put everything you don’t know, instead of being egotistic about your ancestor’s knowledge being the only right thing in the world.

If you make decisions about your life you use your free will, which makes you a CEO of your life, and being a CEO, you as an individual have the responsibility to balance the life’s affairs. You can’t let the influences dictate your life because that demotes you from the status of the CEO, what God had granted you. Free will comes with the responsibility to create a melodious music out of one’s life. Every one’s life is like a musical sheet, if you look at it there is a note followed by an empty space then a note followed by an empty space and so on. Man is the note and the empty space is God when its man’s turn he/she should speak and when its time to stay quit he/she should stay quit. That would make a good and rhythmic melodious life. There are some who believe God is doing everything, they have a blank sheet and then there are who disrespect the empty space. It is like you just grab a drum and beat the hell out of it until you get exhausted literally that is the story of lot of successful professionals with the serious health issues. If the society calls for non stop work or a religion enforces a constantly selfless life, like a hamster on a wheel in the cage, use your free will. As a good CEO it is your responsibility to create a good melody out of your mortal life.

Sense of belonging and the sense of freedom are opposing senses, so you as a CEO, will have to create the balance to be spiritually healthy. If your sense of belonging has over powered you, you will have the potential to become a suicide bomber, anorexic or bulimic and if your sense of freedom is out of control you can end up in jail or become obese.

God’s work is done by the man thus man is the work horse of God, so man is first in the larger scheme of life. Just like the chicken who lays the eggs, whatever came first man or God is not as important as getting the God’s work done. When you are able to use higher level of brain power you would know more about God’s knowledge, until then you just can’t make a final decision whether God exist or not. Killing over who is right should be a no, no, because our right and wrong change with our evolving knowledge.

God is not understood for thousands of years because of our limited ability to use our brain power. Even though we have evolved much further in our other departments of life. Regarding God we are still there where we were two thousand years ago, so no one should be able to kill an innocent or even torture an innocent on the name of God or religion because killing or torturing someone is a physical reality but God is not.

The knowledge of earth being round was not discovered when the prayers times or fasting times were set, otherwise the time would not be according to the sun rising or setting. If we believe our knowledge has been complete then why human has been evolving. We use to throw virgins over the cliffs because some wise religious man said God was mad at us. Now we are able to predict the path of the storms to save human lives and it is done by the scientists whom usually don’t believe in God. So why the scientist are not accepted as Godly men or women? I believe everyone who saves human lives with intention has Godly touch.

Believing the knowledge was complete thousands of year ago is false. We are on the highway of hundred mile and we have reached maybe mile twenty, our judgment of the whole highway can’t be correct on just the assumptions.

Man is the dancing bottle and the alcohol in it is the God. You can make all the statues of God or worship places but without the living human beings all is useless. So respect the living because I believe God actually lives through the man kind. The man should be judged by the society for his/her actions, if they are Devilish or Godly they are good or bad according to the social norms. Until it is completely understood God should be a social drink one can enjoy to live this life as a better and peaceful individual. If you drink to get drunk or become an alcoholic, get some help from the CEO within you, because it is your responsibility to take care of your life’s affairs. Your family or the people around should not have to suffer because of your behavior. If you are taught, think or feel that you are better because of being drunk you are not only drunk you are prejudice as well.

Believe you are better than others just because of the color of your skin, belong to certain nation, gender or belief system is a clear prejudice, if your belonging group is preaching that, it is far from the spirituality and clearly political. Its one’s character which makes the difference.

Ever seen baboons killing other baboons over the territory and resources, there are a lot of species do that even mankind does the same thing. It is because of the animal side of us, which is a legitimate side of the man and can’t be killed. Our social systems has tried to kill it for millions of years, especially our religions have tried and failed miserably. Just look at our wars and related crimes, does it look like that we are any better than the baboons. Accept the reality and change to make the deals with the animal inside instead of trying to kill it. You will make peace inside which will help to achieve the external peace. Man is human being because of the spiritual jewellery we wear, if we take that off or are striped off of it we are worse than the baboons because baboons kill without the weapons of mass destruction.

Man is equipped from within with the compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love, so wear your jewelry to surpass all the other creatures no matter how close you are genetically. Evolve to tame the beast within because you can. When you do, you will discover that the day you are born as a human being, you belong to the humanity as a whole, not to a political or a religious group. Without the compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love man is just like the other creatures. They act on the chemicals or hormones for instance protection of the off springs and mating, we do that as well but we have the ability to surpass the natural urges. We set rules for our societies, have justice systems, we self-regulate ourselves and help other human beings and even other creatures. We have the love which goes beyond the hormones and sexuality, we are able to love our pets just like children.

8) Become a CEO who knows his/her importance of being the third equation in the triangle. If God has been connected to good and the Devil has been related to all the bad then good and bad is judged by the human individual. If the judge of the good and bad is not there would God and the Devil matter? I believe if the man is not there God and the Devil will disappear as well. Being a CEO who recognized that would be able to balance the triangles especially when it comes to God, Devil and Man and the Man, sense of belonging and sense of freedom. Standing up for the justice to all including self, especially standing up to the wrong doing of the belonging group.

9) Go after the cause. There once was a small community they dug a well for the water and lived around it. A dog fell in the well and died. When the water started to stink people got worried so one of them went down in the well to investigate, he yelled that there is a dead dog in here. The mayor was asked what to do? he said take about the fifty barrels of water out then start to use it, but make sure you take the dead dog out first.

10) Being human being we are social creatures thus we have to live together thus the society can’t be without the politics so we have to live with the political systems but the knowledge of spirituality is an essential part of human beings as well. Spirituality and politics can’t be mixed so as an individual we have to separate the two and do the justice to live this life as a CEO. Any system of governing which include God would taint the God and spirituality with the politics. With our political systems there are hidden lies in political agendas but in spirituality there is nothing but the truth. It would be an ideal situation to have a government running with nothing but the truth but would it be successful? The politician would say yes to anything.
