Month: February 2021

First of all I want to clear one thing that I am not under the influences of any one particular religion nor I try to follow political side of any religion. My goal is that we all individually take charge of our personal actions and understand where do we stand in the holy world of God. I personally believe God is not a political entity so God can’t be prejudiced or discriminatory against anyone who does not follow particular and God’s favorite religion. I am born Muslim and don’t intend to change to any other religion because to me they all are paths to God and should be treated as such otherwise we may commit spiritual crimes like prejudice and discrimination against other human individuals. My questioning is not for the spiritual side of any religion, I am trying to point out wherever they get tainted by the deadly human politics of belonging to their groups. Where our politics of our sense of belonging takes over the individual to commit spiritual crimes instead of being spiritual. Since we simply can’t get away from the politics we have to individually have to become a CEO of our lives so we can judge for ourselves. If we have to strain out the politics to be spiritually fulfilled we should be able to do it.

My writing is for the individual who looks up to their religion for the spiritual fulfillment. Interestingly their religion’s politics of sense of belonging inhibits them to find that essence of religion because religions openly preach and deny the individual their relevance. They treat human individuals as an animal who needs to be controlled by the way of carrot and stick philosophy. By making the individual believe that they are irrelevant they not only rob individual’s self-esteem they are able to control and conform. If the individual gets stronger religion’s grip or influences get weaker so they preach against individual relevance. Since this has been going on for thousands of years, it has been and still is a process of brain washing the individual who has to deal with personal feelings of being inadequate, unimportant, irrelevant or simply being a sinner as well. With low self-esteem and self respect they have to attach themselves to the next best thing available and yes that is the group of people they belong to. They have been brain washed in believing that God is on such a high pedestal that they are not worthy of being directly connected to God yet in reality it is quite the contrary.

If the purpose of creating fear of God is to bring people to become good and spiritual then the intentions are good and acceptable. If the intentions are to use that fear of God to gain control and use people and even God politically that changes everything. If are good because of fear that does not make you spiritually good because as soon as that fear is removed you will become what you really are. Being real and spiritually good requires faith which is just for the love of God and personal responsibility to reciprocate. Most interesting part here is that the atom of autonomy you carry within is aware of the reasons of you being good. That is why good or bad deeds don’t happen automatically. We individually and collectively are responsible for our actions. As growing up I read a poetry in Pakistan which I don’t remember who was written by so I am going to say author unknown. It said that and I quote.” IF INTOXICATION WAS IN THE ALCOHOL THEN THE BOTTLE SHOULD DANCE,THIS IS MY PREROGATIVE THAT I DO A DRUNKEN DANCE .” END QUOTE. In the end of the day we are all responsible to either enjoy or do a drunken dance. We all enjoy the drink of God but how we response to it, still is our responsibility because that atom of autonomy related free will is still there. We drink and choose to dance for the better or worse or worst. Remember you are the one standing by God as an individual to convert spirituality into physical actions so you are an equal partner in the business of reciprocation. If you are the equal partner with God almighty how can you not have self-esteem? How can you be irrelevant? Who are these people who tell you otherwise and why?

Away from the politics of sense of belonging and within the personal and especially mortal skin we all have our own atom of autonomy you may call it God particle. With that within, you simply are responsible for everything you do good or bad. One can ask how can God let you do bad things? Well if you know the real story of the human individual before political interventions, you would understand that as well. Since we have been blessed with atom of autonomy, which blesses us with not only free will but with personal sense of justice, compassion and a whole lot more which I call our spiritual jewelry. Unfortunately influences of our politics of sense of belonging has the power to strip us down from all that. Irrelevance related low self-esteem and lack of self respect leads us to secure ourselves by fitting in, impressing or trying to be admired so we end up making decisions to become material focused animal life. We are told that you can’t be directly connected to God. We assume that life just revolves around physicality so our spirituality takes a back seat or becomes a weaker aspect of our individual life. Then we are taught that it is not you it is the Devil who is making you do all the bad things which gives us a way out of personal responsibility. If you are feeling that you are not strong enough, have no self-esteem or self respect. Lets start with the real story of reciprocation with God and the politics of belonging infected religious beliefs.

Me, me, me and I, I, I did this and that is a clear sign of a disorder which points towards lack of self-esteem and self respect because if you have it, you would not want to seek the approval of the others by telling them your importance. You don’t have to tell them the real story of how you feel within. Especially if you don’t want to acknowledge the help you have been receiving, if you don’t even acknowledge the vary fundamentals of spirituality you have a spiritual flaw. Not only you don’t acknowledge the help, you claim it is all your doing which is discrediting that help altogether. What is I and me? Remember that I and me is only functioning because of the real, legitimate and crucial help. If you can’t even live without that help, how can you not acknowledge and yet shamelessly claim that it is all your doing. Your every action related achievement is dependent on the facts of your inabilities to function independently so that me and I are not as exclusive as it may appear to you. Understanding and acknowledging that help is a door way to not only making us humble but spiritual awareness as well. Even God does not claim that God is doing everything that means God humbly accepts that spirituality needs to be converted into physical actions by the human individual. This clap is making a physical sound by working together. When you put God on the high pedestal human individual loses importance, that is why religious leaders have been and still are claiming human individual is irrelevant because God is doing everything. My question to them is how does God’s work get done? Its done with the physical help of human individual so before the politics real picture of spirituality is all between God and an ordinary human individual. You can believe all you want to but this reality is a repeatable fact, no matter how you cut it you can’t deny the importance of human individual. Since human individual can’t do it without the help so there is nothing exclusive about it. I and me is only important after the inhaling free oxygen and favorable conditions of both internal and external universes.

Not being humble is one thing, taking credit is an other but discrediting everything other than me and I just takes a cake of destroying personal spirituality. Sure I and me is important in this picture but just like God I and me should be humble and honest. By going against what is sitting deep within you can have consequences, if you falsely claim for something what you know is not exclusively done by you are trying to hide your inabilities. Especially if you believe that you and God are separate and different entities you automatically would want more of what you lack, power that is. Not only that you unfortunately or fortunately are aware of your mortal nature which makes you insecure and you think low and down about yourself. If you can understand and create balance from within. You would not credit yourself and discredit the help you are receiving for your physical actions. You can not only discover an antidote for your spiritual flaw like low self-esteem you would discover that me and I is not that exclusive but an inseparable spiritual and physical us.

Since I am Muslim I am going to start with what I had learned. In order to become a Muslim you have to say these words. There is only one God and prophet Mohammad is God’s prophet. Then you have to take an oath that you are the witness of God’s oneness and prophet Mohammad’ prophet hood. In Christianity Jesus claimed that I am the way. Clearly things don’t look so bad in all that. Our troubles start when we think that we somehow become better than all other human beings who don’t believe in what we believe. Is that a personal and individual flaw or is it coming from the education? That is for you to decide after reading this. For me I believe if you are a prejudice and discriminatory individual you are living in the wrong era. This is the era of equal human individual rights so there is no room for racism, bigotry, prejudice and discrimination. If you can’t make any amendments in your taught knowledge regardless where it is coming from you are responsible for your actions. Remember pope has come out and acknowledged equal human rights so you can do that as well.

If Jesus said that I am the way or prophet Mohammad is the way you individually will have to look for the reasons of our problems. If you are too passionate about the politics of your sense of belonging you would never look or connect the politics of belonging as the cause of your spiritual problems. You would not question so you would never see the politics behind the religious statements.

If you go with the first part where it says there is only one God, this is where you will have to add a human individual standing side by side with God because without human individual God is at least logically not a physical entity. Human individual is the main character of this holy picture. If you want the proof, picture God as a fabric made with the thread if you pull one or two or ten threads out there is no physical damage to the fabric but if you keep pulling until there is non left. Now is the time to look for physicality of the spiritual entity. The importance of the human individual is clearly seen in this example but if you want more examples I got some more of them. Say there is a haunted house but there are no people to talk about or to be scared from, does that haunted house matters or to whom. Then if there is a town with all the streets, bridges, buildings, houses, electricity, plumbing, and everything what a town needs to be a town. Now take all the human individuals out and see what happens to that town? Then there is a lily in the forest pond where no human eyes are there to appreciate its beauty. Everything points towards the importance of human individual in the holly picture yet when our spiritual systems get infected with the politics and we follow our belonging groups or religions we all become the extensions of our ideologies and lose our standings in the spiritual world of God.

Simply a spiritual God and a physical human individual who does God’s physical work. There is nothing wrong to add prophets to give us education to become decent human beings. Trouble is if you really stick with spiritual teachings but when you say only the people who follow our prophets would go to heaven and everyone else is going to burn in hell that is as political as it can get. Especially if it gives a belief of being becoming better than others who don’t follow that path of prophets. That does not only create prejudice and discrimination amongst people it makes even implicate God as a prejudicial and discriminatory entity who is for some but not for all. Still there is nothing wrong if you believe all that political rhetoric but when you start to kill each other, I feel that I have the duty to speak against this unholy business of God.

When you say prophet Mohammad is the way or Jesus is the way there is nothing wrong with it until you say there is no other way to God. Personally I believe if someone saves lives by putting work in like the inventor of Insulin should be closer to God because every life is a living breathing physical hand converting spirituality into physical action. If someone prays five times a day fast and is devoted Muslim but decides to kill someone who does not believe in God like them. If you get up one day and say lets go to Christian crusade, go and kill some people in the name of God. If you form a group of like minded people which makes that group exclusive to God but deny God to those who were not born into that group, have not been exposed to your religious ideology or don’t believe in the path you are on. Discriminating against sometime even innocents can go against the atom of autonomy sitting right within you. Your politics of belonging has the potential to take you on the wrong path yet in the name of God. If you ignore all the signals coming from within and carry on believing what you are told to, you may would be taking a U turn from spirituality to get into the arms of the politics of sense of belonging to groups.

If God does not speak against or for, there is a good chance we would use even God politically. Meaning it would be between God and a group of people not between God and a human individual. If God does not speak, whatever the group says goes. And yes even if the group says that a human individual is not worthy of connecting to God directly we would believe it and sometime passionately. Now if you feel, see and are told to believe that you are insignificant, irrelevant, unworthy and even are a born sinner. You would never have self-esteem related self respect to even see the real picture of you standing significantly beside spiritual God. Turning spiritual things into physical actions. What God had meant for you is to be a CEO of your life but you are too busy protecting your political belonging to see your own individual importance. Proof of direct connection of the individual to God is in a spiritual fact of reciprocation where every single individual is capable of converting spirituality into physical actions. Unfortunately our insecurities are capable of turning us around and do the bad things as well and sometimes for our political religions.

If saying prophet Mohammad makes you Muslim or following the way of Jesus makes you Christian, simply there is nothing wrong about it because they taught and preach us to be the followers of spirituality. Our troubles start when we start to dispute and deny the real part of being spiritual. If you deny spiritual God and individual as the physical part of God you simply have converted your religion and God into political parties and reduced human individual including yourself into worker bees and warrior ants. Your reciprocation to God which was the purpose of your life to begin with took a back seat to your religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules. Sure you can label yourself as a Muslim, Christian or any other human identity but denying first identity or the first part of the real story will eventually lead you away from spirituality and even make you commit spiritual crimes yet in the name of your religions. I am not in the business of changing religions or simply preferring one over the other. I am all about not forgetting about spiritual story before political interventions. Spiritual God and human individual are two hands and one simply can’t make a meaningful sound so they both have to be there to convert spirituality into physical actions. What does that really mean to you? Well if you can’t see how politics got into the spiritual business of God you simply would not become a CEO of you life. If you can’t become a CEO you would not be able to question how, when and why you and your belonging religion became a political party instead of a spiritual entity? How you got infected with the prejudice and discrimination related spiritual crimes? If you are not a CEO you are an open game for the political figures to use you as an extension of their group. Yet God wants human individual to be with enough self-esteem to not only question political influences but to stand by God to convert spirituality into physical actions. Remember if human individual is not there spirituality can’t be converted into physical actions so you can run around claiming to be Muslim, Christian of whatever you want to be called. You can label yourself as a religious, non religious, nationalist, gender biased, black, white, brown, red, yellow or whatever you call yourself to be part of your belonging group but the bottom line is that you are a human being who stands by God with or without any other identity to convert spirituality into physicality. That reciprocation is not only the purpose of your life but it is a duty. If you help some but not all you are not only being prejudiced and discriminatory yourself you are making God as such entity as well. If you do that it is nothing more than politics so your individual understanding is a must to really understand the holly world of God. Remember politics and spirituality can’t be mixed one is nothing but the truth and the other is twisting and turning of the truth to benefit belonging group’s interest. If you are looking into your religion beyond your politics of sense of belonging and are in it for the spiritual satisfaction you have to understand your authority and standing in the holly picture by becoming a CEO of your life. You can be a CEO and still belong but things would never be the same. There is nothing wrong in belonging to any human group until that group wants us to work against spirituality.

If you are bombarded with the education of you being irrelevant and insignificant you would not have a self-esteem of a CEO and you would not question the politics of belonging. You would not even see yourself as the real and main character of the holly picture. All you would see is your belonging group dealing with God related issues yet in reality group depends on you as an individual as well just like God. Remember the ghost town, haunted house, lily in the forest pond and the fabric of God with the human individual as a thread what a fabric is made of that all apply to the group as well.

First part where spirituality meets with physicality is more important than your politics because that is the real and holly picture. Does that mean I deny all religions? No, no one has to change anything but putting each other’s knowledge down and especially killing each other in the name of politics of belonging groups. Remember I did not say religions because our politics of belonging is not only able to infect our religions it goes far beyond that. It crosses the lines of all kind of human groups, from gender to race to nations and tribes no one is safe. As long as we have insecure individuals with no self-esteem related lack of self respect there would be people using people and God politically. Main problem with that is that as groups we tend to lean towards politics of control exclusively, so spirituality takes a back seat whenever it comes to making decisions. Groups would not make spiritual decisions because their politics calls for self preservation and self preserving groups would most likely be prejudiced and discriminatory and yes even if they are religious groups they would twist and turn the truth in favor of belonging group. A clear sign of this politics is a common fact it most popular religions regardless of their differences they all believe in individual’s irrelevance. Yet in the real picture a spiritual clap is not possible without the existence of human beings.

Regardless of all the abilities God might possess there would be no benefit to anyone if all human beings are gone so the value or importance of God can become questionable. On the other hand if as human beings we don’t understand ourselves we end up living like an ordinary creature. We may display certain animal traits regardless of our civilization and evolution. As an ordinary individual we have to understand self regulation and discipline to even be a human being. Religions have tried using carrot and stick philosophy but it did not do the job because our societies are riddled with all kind of crimes. Personal regulation is an individual thing and if an authority is around one can play safe as soon as that authority is not there the whole control falls apart. Fear of God falls in the same category, remember God does not speak so if God does not pull ones strings people would commit crimes so education of being a spiritual being reciprocating changes the whole thing for the individual.

For us human beings life related troubles show up when we stray and let our untamed animal related domination traits take over our spiritual side. In the Animal Kingdom and even in urban jungle this domination game is played constantly. From personal relationships to business to business of God it has been and is in the process of evolution yet our animal traits are still to be tackled with. If it is kind of confusing for you to understand you must learn to respect and balance these urges to be spiritually aware human being otherwise there is a good chance you can spend a whole life time in confusion. Dominating others for personal comfort and gains has been and still is a problem because we not only cause each other problems our collective behaviors result into wars. Our politics of personal and collective life overpowers our personal sense of justice and we  could all end up paying the price with not only individual sufferings but with our constant and perpetual revenge killings and wars.

If everyone can understand our animal side we can learn why do we even have the urges to dominate others. As we individually become aware of the personal sense of injustice, especially when it comes to collectively us attacking the other groups regardless of justifications, we may begin to be aware of where these actions may lead. Things can get a lot less complicated if we choose to live our life as a spiritually mortal being, this understanding has the potential to create peace within and collectively as well.

A Personal sense of justice is not hard to get if you follow two simple rules of spirituality. First don’t do to anyone what you don’t like being done to you or to your loved ones. Second: Walk a mile in another persons shoes to understand how they are similar to the shoes you walk in.

When politics takes over a spiritual system like religions, we come up with all kind of excuses to dominate the conquered ones. From looting to degrading to committing spiritual crimes in the name of religions, yet interestingly religions claim that they are trying to teach us spirituality. If you want the proof just look around the past history and in our present wars. It has been and still is consistent but I hope it does not carry on into our future. If we all belong to our chosen groups our politics would keep us doing what we have been doing for millions of years. If we at a personal level emerge as a responsible of individual actions meaning evolve to the point to become one humanity then and only then we can get rid of our past animal like behaviors. The difference between the other animals and human beings always boils down to inhibitions. If you let your animal side take over or let your inhibitions down because of the substances or emotions you will end up letting the animal dominate your actions regardless of your level of education. Education was suppose to be the sign of our evolution and civilization but regardless of our progress in every other area we still lag behind in dealing with our animal side. Which would not allow us to spiritually evolve to become  a compassionate human being.

I believe the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups have done enough damage to our personal spirituality. It is time to strain out the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups and learn to appreciate the real essence of being a human being. Since spirituality is our essence and it directly connects us individually to God and humanity as a whole. Regardless of the religion, if you bring your personal spirituality to the fore front, humanity can come together as a whole. Otherwise the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups would always keep us into our ancestral pigeon holes.
If we individually can learn to treat each other as a working hand of God, we can learn to join each other regardless of the differences. If the religions take out their politics of sense of belonging to a one groups of human beings the doors of spirituality would open for them otherwise they would lose their credibility. Most of the nations and religions openly preach to their citizens that they are better than others just because of being part of that nation or religion. This kind of education leads their belonging individuals to false self-esteem related prejudice and ignorance. Regardless of the level of education people start to stand against the human rights and commit  injustice in the name of their belonging group willingly.

Humanity, equal human individual rights and equal justice to all is far more important than any religious rule, tradition or ritual because of spirituality. If you can cross these lines of religious and national rules, traditions, customs and rituals and if you can respect the human individual as God’s working hand. You personally will find spirituality and if the number of like minded people grows eventually humanity will find spirituality. Equal human individual rights are the gateway to that path and politics of sense of belonging to our groups instead of humanity is a hurdle. If you don’t change anything, politics would make you do the same what you have been doing for thousands of years. Remember to look to what are the possibilities with the weapons of mass destruction. Politics of belonging mixed with religious passion can be deadly for the humanity and God’s existence simultaneously. To be spiritual we must respect each others rights instead of following religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules blindly we need to strain out our politics from our individual religious beliefs in order to benefit from having a religious belief.

There is no room for injustice in spirituality simple as that. A group can’t violate even one individual’s human rights. That is why religion’s spiritual side have been compromised. In order to rule a mass of individuals, a successful political system is required so keeping our belief systems politics free would help the individual to become spiritual. In reality if you want to rule and run government, you can’t really have a fool proof system. There would always be a pick and choose situation so we need our justice system free of political influences. Spirituality should be in the foundation of all justice systems and a justice system should be separate from the governing systems. That is why religions or any other sense of belonging to one particular group based system would not work as a governing system. The best way to deal with this problem is to keep the religions and our justice systems spiritual. Where an individual can take the state to court and win is a good justice system because you can’t hide behind the politics of mass. Why and what would be the reason for us having a justice system? This kind of Justice system is there to help the weak and if the weakest wins against the strongest you can’t ask for more spirituality related justice otherwise if you taint your religion or justice system with politics everything fails.

If you are in a relationship with the politics of domination in mind in today’s social systems. You are heading for the problems because we don’t live in the caves or bush anymore where security system was different. Today we have given that power to the big brother or you can call it governing systems. Individual security still matters but the security system has changed. Governments or religious ruled big brother system has been around for a long time but has always been questionable.  Is it working for the individual? There has always been a politics which preferred the mass over the individual so even if it was an injustice, the individual would lose. Since the individual is the essence of humanity they should be respected and given justice. No one should be above the law not even the governing powers or even religions.

Being mortal makes it a lot more important for us to be responsible for our happiness. Reliance on Big Brother has not brought us the security related justice, happiness and contentment we have been longing. By having more guns, wars and related problems like death, depression and anxiety is a lot more common now than in the past. When expectations develop and are not fulfilled, personal weaknesses become greater than they are. Lack of a belief system and personal weakness is directly related to the understanding of  personal value. As a human individual we are directly working with, not for God nor for our belonging groups yet as an equal reciprocating authority. Which brings us all individually at the equal footing as a sub contractor not a servant, so know your place. If you pull your load honestly, whether its as a partner, family member, community member or simply reciprocating to God you will have less stress but a lot more self respect and self-esteem. Being comfortable in your mortal skin is closely related with your personal input and sense of justice.

If you get free oxygen and are alive with a good health, your thanks giving should not only be once a year, your ability to live is not in your control nor its in your family’s, community, nation or religion’s control. It is directly connected to the source or you can say God. Living on the face of the earth in an external chaotic space and then with in the internal totally chaotic yet organized space is as complex as it can get. Sure you have a say but after all the complexities have been in alignment for you personally. If you still think you are functioning at your own will then just look around and see how vulnerable a mortal being is.

When you are taught or you think and believe, it is all your doing, whatever is happening in your life you are not fully comprehending what you may be  missing in your own personal sense of justice. To comprehend this requires you to educate yourself so you can avoid situations that may cause you some related anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. It takes away the importance of the most important thing in your life, that is your individual happiness. This makes most of us puppets and slaves of our belonging groups because we are made to feel weak, fragile and insignificant. We are mortal and that is a reality so this temporary life should be lived fearlessly collecting every happy moment along the way. If any thing you have to sacrifice your happiness over, is coming from your belonging groups, so should be looked at and judged with your personal sense of justice.

By no means am I preaching selfishness. I am simply stating the fact of mortality which needs spirituality more than our political religions. No one should take personal responsibilities off of their shoulders and hide behind the politics of the group God and Devil. If the belonging individual does not ask questions, the belonging groups become too strong to be questioned. The story of the individual weakness related unfulfilled life begins if you don’t take charge of your own life. Do you really have a say? If you ask this question to yourself in the dead of the night, the answer would come and point you to your God given free will.
There are two things in common in all human beings regardless of the differences. They are Oxygen and free will. Ask yourself, do you appreciate them? If you don’t, do you believe that you are a human being God had meant for you to be? Since you are not programmed to be a weak puppet or slave of your belonging groups and not even to God, how can you let it happen? Simply go back and stand with spiritual God to help converting spirituality into physical actions with the CEO who is a subcontractor themselves. Understand the power of politics of belonging but at the same time seek to be a CEO of your mortal life. That would not only bring you spiritually fulfilling life but it would bring you self-esteem, self respect, significance, relevance and deep contentment for being God’s right hand in making things actually happen.

 

Equal human rights, civil achievements, racial and sexual justice, national and religious freedom are all relate to the march of humanity towards its potential. There has always been and still are hurdles like religious extreme and racial superiority but we are climbing on step at a time. Sure we have back and forth but still there is a net gain today because through out the world people are speaking for equal human rights. From human sacrifice to killings of homosexuals to racism to slavery and all kind of prejudice and discrimination against each other have been changing for the better but not fast enough. All because of the politics of sense of belonging to our groups. Personally I believe we are evolving and progressing in all areas but it is kind of lob sided when it comes to our religions, racism and nationalism that means politics of belonging still rules. If we can over come that we would evolve to take the next step rapidly to join humanity as a whole.

Unfortunately all along every achievement has been claiming human lives, there  has always been strong resistance against the progress by our own kind who don’t want to change status co. The lessons of the history are, that if you want to get something you have to fight for it. Yet even if it is good for the humanity we still have to struggle against our conservative fellow human beings. Regardless of us having the ability to discuss and debate, some how we can’t look at or intentionally ignore to look at our incomplete knowledge. We have gone through kingdoms, empires, communism, socialism and now we are going through democracy yet still struggling with some kingdoms and authoritarianism. Unfortunately we can’t stray from our ancestral knowledge even if it has been proven wrong. As human beings we are not only taught to believe that our ancestors can’t be wrong, we actually are expected to protect their traditions, customs, rituals and rules as well. Our education has been to respect, protect and sacrifice and to be loyal to our belonging groups. That is why even this day and age of equal human rights our news are full of racism and prejudice related injustice and religious conflicts. For humanity change has never been easy, reaching for the potential or journey of evolution requires peeling of the layers and layers of personal and collective insecurities. Our politics of sense of belonging to one particular family, gang, community, nation or a religion has been our down fall. If we are born to human family as a human individual we automatically belong to humanity but our politically influenced education of sense of belonging teaches us otherwise. If we learn to belong to humanity we would be able to see, that in reality the humanity is just one beyond all the politics of divisions.

Individually we all need to be an evolved spiritual entity who can and does convert spiritual thoughts into physical actions. By now with all the evolution and civilization related understanding we should be able to peacefully debate and discuss our way to changes but we are far from it. Our political and religious disputes related wars are still on going which is a clear evidence of that. Unfortunately we can’t carry on that way because on one side  we have been evolving with nuclear weaponry but on the other side we are unable to evolve spiritually. A politically influenced emotional human being with animal urges and a finger on the nuclear button can be a deadly mix. Our evolution is not balanced we are not only constantly putting each other’s knowledge down we have been carrying along our ancestral disputes as well. We have never been able to live in a peaceful time and after all that civilization and evolution we still can’t even discus and debate in civilized manors.

Balance is not easy to achieve even at the individual level, never mind collectively. Our disputes have largely been the product of the politics of sense of belonging. Our social changes and everything in between have never been with out the influences of the politics of belonging. We have been use to of the changes brought down by the top down philosophy. Since the top spends money and influences to keep power by force individual has always been a weaker participant until recently. Today belongs to the era of democracy and equal human rights. Individual is being educated to be a CEO who can see and read the politics of the power. These changes would shift from the bottom up instead of top down. That will allow us to debate and discuss so the decisions can’t be made by the few who have the special political and personal interest in gaining and use powers to fulfill their personal and group related agendas. How and what changes in the future by our individual awareness? Where would it take us as humanity? Would we go back and forth or we change everything including our ancestral differences, disputes and related wars? Can we change and evolve from our present day level of civilization? What would be our potential? Since we are an evolving entity our knowledge is still incomplete and even our potential would be constantly evolving with us, so where are we going?. One thing is for sure that we know in the business of reciprocation we all have to pull our share equally to be healthy, happy and successful. Remember if you are not healthy you can’t be happy and if you are not healthy and happy there is no meaningful success whether it is as an individual or collectively.  

No mater how powerful, real and influential they feel our hormones related urges can’t be left running wild. Same goes with the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups in reality we personally are the repeatable fact of spiritual world. We all need to create balance from within. Our sense of freedom and personal sense of justice is there to counter the politics of our sense of belonging which has the potential to make us all prejudiced and discriminatory individual. Since we are not exclusively spiritual nor we are exclusively a physical entity, we need to create balance between our physical and spiritual sides to be and live like a human being.

We all have individually been blessed with our personal atom of autonomy and related free will to choose and decide but we all have to answer to our inner authority like atom of autonomy. Our ingrained compassion, sense of justice and love is all there to help us navigate spiritually in our personal and physical journey to the cliff of faith. By nature not all of us are exclusively created as a team player so we do have ability to function solo as well. If we choose and let our hormonal responses and politics of belonging dictate our truths we sometime can personally end up at odds with our atom of autonomy. Our spiritual side or atom of autonomy can be just as strong as politics of sense of belonging. When you are in internal conflicts there are consequences for you individually. Just ask a war veteran, if there politics of sense of belonging has compelled them to commit crimes against others or against innocents and their personal sense of justice creates guilt related strong feelings that is not a good place to be for especially for the mortal being. Being torn apart internally which I claim is a real hell and it is within your mortal life. We all have to acknowledge and learn about our nature first to really understand what is going on within us. How much and who is really responsible for our actions? One can say my belonging group is strong and can punish or shun me so I have to go along what my religion or nationalism says so. Legitimacy of that claim aside we all join to the cause because of internal imbalances and are responsible for our actions. If you look at yourself with your personal sense of justice you will see how not feeling guilt is belong to the personal weakness. Since we all have atom of autonomy residing within we just can’t be running around letting our physical side make all our decisions. We are an entity who is in a class of itself because we have to answer to ourselves that is why we need to understand what really goes on within ourselves.

If you go towards physicality of life you learn all about our animal side, being physical is all about mechanical, technological, scientific and medical facts of life. If you try to grasp and acknowledge your spiritual side, you can learn about non physical realities like compassion, love, sacrifice, forgiveness, guilt, ego, pride, honor, bravery and even self worth and self-esteem. Now ask yourself can you live without acknowledging one side or the other. In the end of the day we are not just a mechanically functioning body nor we are simply a spiritual entity so we need to not only acknowledge our uniqueness but we need to learn to individually merge and balance both sides of our knowledge. When that happens first of all one has to acknowledge the vastness of our knowledge, then utilize and use all different fields of our knowledge to live our mortal years with quality. This personal and individual responsibility should be enough for us all to question and learn everything what is necessary to function from within and within our social settings. In order to do the justice to others and self at the same time we have to become a CEO of our life. Who functions at the level of real human being not as a worker bee, warrior ant or as an extension of group ideology. Who can really see our individual and personal truths hidden behind our physical, social, political and spiritual realities.

Interestingly for us it is not the truth but its our belief of that truth what makes or breaks our personal truth. That is why for millions of years human societies have been engaged in dealing with non physical truths and evolving yet with imbalances. Nothing gets discovered if we don’t pursue it so if we don’t question we stay stuck at the same level regardless of the elapsing time. Every culture has a segment of population believing and disbelieving in weird and unexplained things. Still in this day and age, regardless of our scientific advances our traditions, customs, rituals and rules of our religions are popular. Question is why? Regardless of our scientific and technological advances there is no shortage of religious people. I would assume still there are more people who prefer to believe in religions than accepting scientifically repeatable facts. They just can’t over ride and look at the politics of sense of belonging as a problem. Our trouble is that we try to look at life with our personal lenses and go with whatever feels right. Normally majority of people don’t ask questions especially when it comes to our religious beliefs, so they depend on others to guide them so that is where all our politics related problems originate and taint our spirituality.

Our sense of belonging to our groups is a fact which is so powerful that it can effect the levels of hormones. Just look at our sports and even political parties, nationalism, and religious extreme related rhetoric and belonging individual’s behavior. Scientifically we can see that but would not know why is that happening? For the same reasons scientifically we can’t understand and breakdown our real realities like Love, Compassion, Ability to sacrifice, Ability to forgive, Our Ego, Pride, Honor, Bravery, Cowardliness and even Guilt? It is all because scientifically we don’t understand or even accept the existence of our spiritual side related non physical truths. If you want to understand something you will have to acknowledge its existence first.

Since we are so trenched in we simply start to reject the existence of that particular field of knowledge and stay behind in yet with intentions. Its simply because we look and believe that we are simply an animal who is just a physical and mechanically functioning body. We even try to fix ourselves with mechanical methods instead of digging in for the causes of our problems. Not acknowledging, rejecting and even underestimating the influences of the other side that may inhibit us from finding the real solutions because they may be are stemming from our spiritual issues.

These politically tainted simplifications of a complex entity like human being can and do keep us behind and potentially make us underestimate the importance of our spirituality. What is human being? We can’t even agree about that, if you go to the doctor for some problem they will try to fix your symptoms not the cause. Scientifically we are not explored as a spiritual entity and yet there are things we carry within are immeasurable with our present scientific knowledge. Religions on the other side are too busy to even acknowledge the importance of human being in the real picture of spirituality. They have been undermining human individual as an irrelevant part of Godly world yet for political control of Godly business. Their traditions, customs, rituals and rules are riddled with the politics of sense of belonging to groups which is a clear sign of politics. If one is looking to explore any thing beyond the politics of belonging they will end up finding that everyone is deeply trenched in philosophies of their differences. To the point that they believe even God choose a group of people rather than to be for the humanity as a whole.I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT.

As I said I don’t believe in such God who is for some but not for all. My belief is that as human beings we are metaphoric cells of one entity you can call God. You look at God physically you see humanity as a whole. If you see with your real eyes, spiritually you would be able to see God who is for all Godly cells not for some or I should say a body part of the body. Claiming God for certain people just does not make any sense to me because as a human being can we even prefer our some cells exclusively over a functioning body. Stay with the same metaphoric and start digging within yourself personally without any political influences of your sense of belonging you will find a world of your own spiritual belief system. Your wouldn’t even have to reject or discredit your belonging religion you are born in to fix your problems related with your spiritual deficiencies.

Imagine and keep this in mind for an example to put things in perspectives and ponder on it everyday. Especially if you are a racist, prejudicial, discriminatory or a religious extremist ignorant. Just put your spiritual glasses on to see the finer details what you can’t see with your influential lenses of political belonging. So here it is. Say a brain cell loudly announces to all the cells of the body, if I am not there you all will die, to spiritually illiterate that makes pretty good sense but before it happens heart cell quickly jumps in and says remember I supply the oxygenated blood for you to live. Lung jumps in and says but I am the one who provides the oxygen to you all. Skin says I protect you from all the nasty infections all the time you would not survive without me. Liver says I clean up all day and night, I do that as well kidney speaks out. Then colon yells and says shut up you all you all are full of shit I provide you with the nutrients so you can’t live without me. Eventually God speaks and says I simply can’t stay in this chaotic and bickering environment. If I leave the whole body dies regardless of who is doing more important job individually. You all have to function in harmony as a unit for me to live within you. If you can’t function I simply can’t stay. If I don’t stay non of us can function to convert spiritual things into physical actions, so if can understand the need of working together things would workout for all of us. What does this mean to you as an individual cell living somewhere deep in the human body who has not seen what does it look like from the out side. You are not going to be able to see things from out side unless you die so you will have to cross the line of cliff of faith to claim that you know everything. Interestingly by then you have lost your physicality so it would not matter because you would not be physically meaningful. Talking about the existences of the body and being prejudice and discriminatory is clearly related to the knowledge or the data you have been installed with.

Need to break down to understand human spiritual side is immense but our religions have been bogged down and are trenched into their group belief systems they have agreed to disagree and decided to live in a world of an arm or a leg of the body. Not because of spiritual reasons but because of the politics of sense of belonging. Science is unable to look and explore spirituality because they are too busy making biological and nuclear weapons so they can help to bring religiously predicted dooms day to prove religions were right.

Remember it is not the truth its your belief of that truth that makes or breaks your personal truth. When it comes to real truths of our individual life, that soul satisfying spiritual truth means more to us than the scientifically proven repeatable facts. Especially if you don’t learn about the spiritual facts connected to your soul, like love, devotion, compassion, passion, guilt, justice, and a whole lot what you emotionally feel deep within your being. How are you going to trust the teacher who just says life is as simple as 2+2=4.

Sure numbers are proven facts but not for us as aging mortals. For a mortal being happiness, contentment and spiritually fulfilled life is the real and undeniable truth. YES even if it is not completely understood with our present knowledge and for sure it is not as simple as 2+2=4. If you are depress, unhappy, discontent or unfulfilled regardless of having the correct numbers and die without experiencing your spiritual jewelry. You have missed the boat to live a meaningful mortal life. Remember if there is no health and happiness there is no success for us mortals. You simply don’t learn about spiritual jewelry in your science class nor you can ignore the importance of them in few years of your life. Sure everybody wants to look at life with total understanding of black and white, but for the temporary beings like us life without spiritual satisfaction would be robotic. Meaning literally less fulfilling than otherwise.

To have a chance to experience a lasting and fulfilling life, one has to not only understand personal mortality but jump into the unknowns and unexplained truths of life where 2+2 is not =4 anymore. A simple real life example is our personal and individually transiting life which is as repeatable as it can be because if we are seven billions today what about the people who have passed in last millions of years so it is as repeatable fact of human life as it can be.

We transition even in one lifetime, from weak and vulnerable to strong and then transition to weak and vulnerable. No need for scientific explanation because its a simple, consistent and accepted truth of human life. Logically other truths become important as well, yes they are to accumulate happiness and contentment so when the time comes to go you feel you have lived your life in literal meanings. Now the question is how can you be happy and content if you know that you got to go? If you have expected all your life to have your 2+2=4, for a fact that is not going to happen consistently especially if you will be losing numbers of your cells but are not going to be able to replace them. You will be compelled to accept 3.9 or less depending on the stage of your life so there is a net loss for a being who expects and lives with the scientifically correct life. Sure that loss would be happiness and contentment and for a mortal being that is the only treasure that matters. A scientific 2+2=4 with an aging and mortal body yet with the goal to accumulate happiness and contentment things are not going to add up. That means you simply can’t afford to lose that spiritual side which allows you to accept mortality with happy moments.

If you want to understand God simply try to understand yourself. Look at your ten trillion cells and hundred trillion bacteria with millions of genes and see how complex you are and can be. Finding God with scientific explanation would not only need ability to use more capacity of our brain powers but understanding of a CEO who knows mortality. Not egotistic assumptions which we have been using, fighting over and killing each other for millions of years. We may need to evolve even further and beyond our present ability to understand because we have a brain which has an evolving potential as well.

This fact can’t be proven wrong because we are always learning more about new things. When we learn more, that clearly points towards that we don’t know everything so we need to continually pursue to learn more. Claiming whether God exists or not is like our two cells deep inside the body arguing about whether the body exists of not. They don’t have the eyes to see, the brain to understand or the ability to prove. Body exists but we all have to be willing to believe our non physical spiritual realities. If a seed is not a fully grown majestic tree you will automatically ignore the potential it contains. We religiously did not explore our spiritual side because the politics of our sense of belonging has been able to stop us from questioning. Similarly scientific community assumes that there is simply no God which sounds like a fact to those who have made up their mind about something yet shamelessly still learn about new things all the time.

Where we are today it is all because of our ingrained abilities and actually pursuing to evolve. Once you reach at the full capacity multiply it for at least seven billion times to understand God. I personally believe our physical connection to each other as humanity yet fighting and killing each other as a Godly disease calls arthritis. If humanity has arthritis it related to politics of belonging either you are told you are the best of all or you are told you are the victim so everything lands on our individual shoulders to recognize that politics behind and not everyone is able to get there because they have been influenced from the tender age meaning brain washed. Regardless of all the pain humanity is suffering we are still progressing, so the strength, wit and abilities of the individual multiplied by the billions may brings you some kind of number to satisfy you but how are you going to even estimate the evolutionary potential. Acknowledging and understanding our personal and evolving potential should be a good enough reason for us to believe in God. Unfortunately when we learn something new we start to believe in it as an ultimate knowledge. Now remember we have been doing all that since the beginning of our awareness. We have been egotistically killing each other ever since and even to this day. Its all because we have given our individual powers to our belonging groups yet the change can only come from the individual evolution.

Eventually we will have to put our politics of belonging under the microscope as well to see why do we think our knowledge is better and more complete than others. Today regardless of the progress in every other department we still are doing the same thing believing or denying in the existence of God. To me it is still too early for us human beings to make a decision about God because we are still in the process of discovering ourselves. When we would know everything about ourselves then we would have to multiply that billions of time to figure God out. For now we are far from that kind of understanding but luckily we brought along our evolving nature from before birth so the extreme politics of our belonging would be understood one day.

Today on one hand we scientifically reject the existence of God but on the other we put God on such a high pedestal where as human individual we feel unable to understand or to even comprehend God. Remember discovering self make up and the present level of human understanding yet with a cell phone in hand related awareness. In past it literally would have been easily called supernatural yet today everyone thinks nothing about it. These days we question and discover even further but unfortunately not in the religion department. If we understand our evolutionary nature and take our next spiritual step to adopt equal human individual rights we will understand that we are not a finished product. If we wholeheartedly accept and believe that we are not a finished product we would know that claiming complete knowledge is egotistic and is connected to the politics of belonging.

Since we have been politically discouraged to explore God, we still believe in a whole lot of supernatural things which are being broken down by the scientific community. Sure we have stopped throwing virgins over the cliffs to please God and are adopting and changing as the science clears our path with repeatable facts and logical explanations. If our evolving knowledge proves that our religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules are subject to change we need to understand the politics of our groups and become spiritually more aware. Remember our resistance would be related to the politics of our sense of belonging more than our spiritual facts. Until science clearly figure things out where did the exploded marble come from why it exploded and why it is constantly expanding? I will believe in God, spirituality and the importance of human individual with equal human rights. To me religion or not science or not our mortality, spiritual jewelry and related facts would be part of my living years. If people choose their religious beliefs over science or science over their religion to me that would be short sighted choice. Reality is that we need personal spirituality or should I say personal and individual understanding. Since we are not exclusively physical like animals nor we are spiritual like God, we are a combination of both so we need to understand ourselves and live like a human entity. As human beings we need to self regulate yet at the same time we need to enjoy our living years with the provided bounties of life. That means we need to create balance instead of choosing extremes. An out of control animal side means spiritual weakness so regardless of belonging to any group or a particular religion a person is vulnerable to commit crimes. Remember an out of control animal has no religion because the proof is in the pudding. In spite of thousands of years of conditioning and religious preaching including the carrot and stick philosophy our societies are still riddled with social crimes. Hell and heaven is still preached in our societies just like in the past, so ratio may be different but interestingly religious societies are not doing any better than the secular societies which should be a shameful fact for the preachers.

I don’t deny the power of our religions and belief systems because they hit us in the areas we don’t really understand scientifically. If you believe blindly, you can see the things a non believer can’t see. Human imagination is so powerful that it can turn a sugar pill into a life saving drug. I personally believe in God not because of the fear of hell or the greed of heaven but for the benefits of keeping me from committing spiritual crimes against innocents. I believe, believing in God is spiritual and potentially it benefits a believing individual. Contrary to the popular beliefs the benefits are in our living years. Since personally I believe spirituality and politics can’t be mixed so I try to strain out politics from my personal belief system. I may question and disagree with lots of religious tradition, customs, rituals and rules because to me they stem from the politics of sense of belonging instead of spirituality. If it is pure of worldly politics it is good and spiritual so regardless of what religion you belong to helping humanity means you are doing God’s work. Yet with intention and remember intentions carry more weight than real actions not only in our court systems of the world but in God’s world as well.

It is like a child pure and simple that is why they are able to find pure and untarnished joy in simple things they do. Meaning a child can be fully happy as a whole being but for the rest of us we spend our life running after happiness and contentment without finding it. It is like going through a flood zone of hormones and falling in love. After the settlement of hormones that intensity of love can’t be found so love and happiness become illusive not because they don’t exist but our personal life circumstances and leveled hormones can block us from finding those spiritual pearls. If we are able to clean up the clutter we accumulate along the way, we may find the pure things like love and happiness we deserve. If finding the untarnished joy is your quest you really will have to clean up the data you have accumulated from the security oriented parents, society and religions. If you are putting all your eggs in the basket of the unknowns of life after death as your religions would say so. You will have to understand that it may be the gambling only a political religion can preach. The benefits of your sacrifices would be to the politically savvy belonging groups not to God nor to you in the life after you die because you suppose to be reciprocating and yet equally. Sure you have to give and sacrifice but it is all done in your living years. Benefits of deeper ad spiritual satisfaction related untarnished joy is not in gambling but in reciprocation in everyday of your life.

Cleaning up your clutter is not limited to your belief system it goes in your other data of memories as well. Is it possible for you to erase bad memories of hurts? This is the personal question we all should ask ourselves in the dead of the night? Can you forgive all the people who have done wrong to you or to your loved ones? Can you go in and even are able to look at your pits? Can you dig even deeper to remove the fears of mortality? Can you see and are you willing to surrender your attachments, control and related fears? If can face it all you may find your childhood related untarnished joy of living in the moment. It is not going to be simple and easy but remember what did you think while you were a child? Nothing you thought created fear and controlling responses so there was no need to be attached. Since life was not cluttered by the data your computer ran freely and clearly, now if you have to think through all the imaginary consequences, things are heavy and slow. Try removing all the clutter of your life by not blaming others and yourself while believing that you are going through a personal journey of your life especially believing it is temporary visit where people hop on and off your train. That way you can surrender your need for security and control. Remember it should be more important to us what we are searching for than what we are avoiding. There was a quote I read long time ago. It was author unknown

Quote, “Don’t make unhappiness not the goal, avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness.” End quote.

You can represent your good and bad side by choice, but accidents still can happen so does that mean you can be responsible for everything you are doing or what happens in your life is your doing? If you accept and I mean wholeheartedly accept that there is a room for accidents and mistakes in your life then and only then you can clean up your control city, otherwise every single one of us can have some kind of mess we don’t like. Being mortal puts a demand on all of us to understand what this life is all about. If you are scared to death from dying how are you even going to live? If you spend all your energy in avoiding inevitable what would be left for you to even reciprocate? Your purpose of life is to reciprocate for the blessings you have been blessed with. Your oxygen is free, your body is functioning, and to top of all that you have an atom of autonomy which is God like abilities related free will. If you think the purpose of your life is to pray and fast who will do the real jobs for God. Turning spiritual thoughts and things into physical actions for God is the job we all have. If you are in it for some untarnished joy, deep spiritual satisfaction and soul satisfying happiness take your responsibility to reciprocate meaning pray practically. Instead of going and helping in building big and majestic mosques, churches and temples, help the real poor, feed the real hungry or simply pay your taxes so the governments can help the needy. Sure we all like to know where our money is being spent but avoiding taxes by finding loopholes is not really kosher, especially if you are looking for a satisfying mortal life. Remember there is the politics of our belonging which compels you to go to your religious places and meet up with like minded people. Your intentions may be good but if your money is used to build and even launder for wrong purposes, you have to take an initiative to make sure where your money is being spent. If your mosques, churches and temples are majestic buildings and poverty is all around with hungry moths and homelessness you are on the wrong and political path instead of spiritual one. As a CEO of your life you individually have to create balance in all areas of your life so if you find helping your mosque or church is good enough for you, you are being influenced by the politics of sense of belonging to your respected group which is spiritually poor for you. You can only counter your sense of belonging with the strong sense of freedom so if you feel you are not balanced try assuming your CEO duties. Remember both senses are extreme so it is not one or the other so you will have to create balance between the two. They both are naturally ingrained within you but you from within are able to control and balance them because you have been created as a boss of your life. If others are able to pull your strings it is a spiritual deficiency on your part so again put your CEO hat on.

I personally would draw the line where I would have to take risk to harm others or even myself in the name of my belonging group. Some may find it is being selfish, but I believe its creating balance and taking personal responsibility of my actions and at the same time clearing the clutter. Strong desire of fitting in, impressing or having an even stronger desire to be admired by the belonging group is not a flaw nor a weakness of the individual. But if not kept in check it can lead the individual to harm not only others but spiritually self destruct or both.

From anorexia, bulimia to drugs and alcohol addictions to unhappiness and discontentment to spiritually unfulfilled mortal life to even suicide. All because other people have too much power over you or you have personal problems with out of control sense of belonging. Remember we are pretty well same in every aspect of life so it is not the truth of your circumstances but the truth of how you response to them. Imbalanced individual who is not even exposed to the idea of being a CEO can literally end up spend their whole life trying to achieve others approval while their life slips by one day at a time without providing any kind of fulfillment. Seeking security just to find out that there is none for us mortals. Intellectual disease of pleasing can force one to live their whole life in the mode of fitting in, impressing or wanting to be admired simply does not make any spiritual sense. Regardless of being a free entity some can go to extreme and lose their self identity to become an extension of the belonging groups or ideologies and adopt to become a prejudicial and discriminatory beings ready and willing to start committing spiritual crimes for their belonging groups. With no regards to themselves as an independent entity or personal responsibilities of their actions. Compassion and respecting self and others mortality can stimulate one to understand, live and let live or spiritual rule number one. Don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or to your loved ones.

Since both our internal and external spaces are not in our control, we should individually try to look for our personal reasons that why are we alive? Especially if it is not in our control. We all walk our journeys and we would not like anyone disturbing it, never mind ending it. Even things are not in our control we still should not do to others what we don’t like done to us that is a spiritual understanding of our free will. When you look at your life physically or spiritually exclusively things get murky because being physical it is mechanical and an animal like life. You minimize human life by following just the things what animals do in the bush or cave. Sure we came from there as well but why just human being why not other creatures? When you start to dig in that direction eventually you will find our brought along treasures from before birth like our spiritual side. Our imagination and ability to convert our thoughts into physical actions is not we just learned from our ancestors or they learned from their ancestors. Our compassion, passion, sense of justice, ability to forgive, sacrifice, help others and to love has always been there. Ever wonder where did that spiritual jewelry come from?

Looking at the power of thoughts can be seen in our physical responses, from salivation and excitement and joy to risen heart rate from a memory or a nightmare clearly point towards human complexities. If you just focus on physicality you simplify the whole picture according to the level of your understanding. Even this day and age our best of the best can’t figure out why placebo effects are even present in our medical science. Meaning things are still in the process of our understanding and we have long way to go to claim our knowledge is ultimate or complete. Just like looking at the physical space we see real planets and asteroids but we fail to acknowledge the importance of human imagination related abilities. We neglect to credit where it is due and get all exited and fixated in the findings instead. If you don’t credit how you got there its looking at the one side of the coin and nothing but. What made it all possible to even question, see, actually and physically go there?

Our spiritual world is a world where our thoughts come from and they are so powerful that they can make us experience a world of vivid realities. Where there a simple sugar pill can become a drug, a doubtful mind like an atheist may not be able to comprehend or even go there yet a believer of those realities can jump right in to cross the lines of doubts related fears and live a mortal life with some quality.

From placebo effects to meditative state to extreme focus and hypnoses are clearly present in the human societies but we still argue about making sense out of them. If we are not able to use our full brain power, don’t know everything and still are learning new things everyday what makes us so augmentative about the authenticity of our present knowledge? If you start to look at this logic and see what is happening and how things work in the world of our unknown? Or not yet physical to us because we are not there yet. Sure we need to explore and discuss further but dismissing and rejecting things you don’t know as non existent is an extreme regardless of which side it is coming from. If you can’t experience physical benefits of having a belief system, it is because of the politics of our sense of belonging which has taken over our religions. Since spirituality and politics can’t be mixed we individually become victims of our doubts. A doubtful belief system is like an impotent system it is there but not spiritually useful or beneficial for the individual. Spirituality is our universal truth but is vulnerable to our group politics because religions get the youngsters to believe in the political religion instead of its spirituality. Interestingly one can call themselves as atheist but with their actions they can be really spiritual so regardless of their rejecting the existence of God they still can benefit from being spiritual.

Understanding God on the other hand is going to the edge and allowing yourself to enjoy the music instead of figuring it out while running out of time. When we evolve to the point where we can completely understand the world of human imagination we will find our healing abilities. Doubting and rejecting everything because they don’t make any sense to you, has been, is and will be with us for a long time to come. Our progress has been coming from the people who question, remember there is no difference between religious people who don’t question and the people who reject and don’t question.

If a religion preaches not to question and believe they are actually creating doubts by keeping the individual as irrelevant and meaningless to keep the political control over them. With evolving humanity things are changing and changing very fast with internet availability questioning can’t be stopped so everyone has to level up. Seeking is in the air and especially equal human rights making things come out of religious beliefs as dirty laundry. Seeking individuals can be helped by looking into the world where regardless of questioning their doubts can vanish so they can benefit from having a belief system. Experience life they way it should be or meant to be.

Understanding of our problems start with the individual actions and end with individual’s expiration we should keep eye on the causes and consequences. They are all related with the individual so we should seek our solutions within the individual as well. If an individual is a CEO they would be able to see, understand and act one way or the other according to the politics of belonging to their groups. If we can see how our politics has the power to reduce us into a worker bee or a warrior ant individually, shouldn’t we be looking at the individual to find out what is going on in there? As groups we would never overcome our desire to dominate others including our own followers. As long as we have the ammunition of individual blood and the rage of revenge for their love loss things would not change. Since the actual and real impacts of our disputes are felt and suffered by the individual. Being insecure and politically bombarded with sense of belonging in the tender years, individual has very low chance to question belonging group’s authority. Especially if we have developed a belief that individually we are worthless, unimportant and irrelevant part of the big picture.

Biggest problem is that we are taught to look at the picture with political lens of our belonging group which inhibits us to look beyond our group politics. Politics usually accepts lies and deceits related illusions and makes us believe that individually we are irrelevant. Our spiritual side on the other hand tells us nothing but the truth and preaches that. It is the individual who is the most important, meaningful and relevant part of the holy picture so if individually we change we can change everything. Pain of love loss should be able to simply teach us not to do anything to anyone what you don’t like done to you or to your loved ones but that would be spiritual isn’t it? Need for us to grow up individually, has never been stronger or needed, interestingly we can out grow our individual insecurities to remove the dead dog of our problems. If we want to reach to the causes of our personal insecurities we have to learn to balance our sense of belonging to our groups with our personal sense of freedom.

Sure groups are trying to secure their followers to stay strong and relevant but by making the individual feel how important group is. Real problem is that a group can only say a prayers for you, they literally can’t stop you from getting sick, old and for sure they can’t change your mortal nature. Their claim to providing you your security kind of falls short and is not a real fact. We all individually have to come to terms with our mortality to realize that there is no security for a mortal being.

Getting used politically, spending the whole mortal life feeling unimportant, irrelevant, losing self-esteem, committing spiritual crimes in the names of our belonging groups. Not accepting personal responsibilities of actions and hiding behind the politics of belonging is as low a human being can go. It is way below the real human status of a CEO who carries individual and personal atom of autonomy within. WE ALL NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES WITH A BROADER AND SPIRITUAL LENS INSTEAD OF A NARROW POLITICAL ONE EXCLUSIVELY, BECAUSE THERE ARE BILLIONS OF US ARE IN NEED TO UNDERSTAND OUR REALITY. OUR INDIVIDUAL IMPORTANCE FROM PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL STAND POINT IS THAT WE ARE A CRUCIAL PART OF GODLY WORLD. EACH AND EVERYONE OF US IS A REPEATABLE FACT OF SPIRITUALITY.

I SIMPLY DON’T BELIEVE IN SEVERAL GODS BECAUSE THEY BRING EXCLUSIVITY OR EVEN ONE GOD WHO IS EXCLUSIVE TO A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE SO IF ANY PARTICULAR RELIGION PREACHES THAT, TO ME THEY ARE PREACHING POLITICALLY INSPIRED FAITH OR EXCLUSION. PERSONALLY I BELIEVE EXCLUSIVITY LEADS PEOPLE TO THE MOTHER OF ALL SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS AND EVEN CRIMES. YES OUR POLITICS OF BELONGING TO OUR GROUPS IS THE MOTHER OF THE OUR CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER. MOST OF OUR PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION RELATED DISPUTES, EVEN OUR WARS AND RELATED KILLINGS INCLUDING INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL SUFFERINGS ARE USUALLY POLITICALLY INSPIRED. OUR SENSE OF BELONGING GIVES BIRTH NOT ONLY TO ITS CHILDREN LIKE PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION, EGO, PRIDE AND HONOR IT CREATES FEARFUL INDIVIDUALS WHO CARE WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHERS IN THE GROUP THINK SO THEY CAN’T PRACTICE OR UTILIZE THEIR SENSE OF FREEDOM. IN THE PRESENCE OF POLITICAL BELONGING AND INDIVIDUAL WEAKNESS OUR PERSONAL SENSE OF JUSTICE GETS ROBBED AND WE CAN’T EVEN GIVE WHAT WE RECEIVE FROM EACH OTHER AND YES EVEN IT IS AS SIMPLE AS EQUAL HUMAN INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.

On the surface sense of belonging may not look like a dead dog or the cause of our problems but if every community preaches exclusivity, we can’t solve our disputes and would carry on killing each other regardless of the level of our education, civilization or related progresses. Today in the era of equal human rights, our sense of belonging to our groups and related prejudice and discrimination has put us at odds with even our personal spirituality. If you bring God with favoritism as the father of it all, we would never be able to evolve to our next level. We can not grow spiritually to achieve our desired equal human rights because, our spiritual rule number one says don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or to your loved ones. How can that be achieved if our politics of belonging is able to make even God a prejudicial entity.

Sure religions preach to us to be a good person, they even give illusions of hope and optimism to the followers but still most of them are guilty of installing individual irrelevance at the same time. By doing that they rob the individual of their self-esteem and leave them feeling vulnerable and insecure within their mortal skin. Individual insecurity and vulnerability is the most relevant part of the real and political picture of our religions. By nature as human individual we don’t like to be insecure or vulnerable so we spend our lives running from that. Which leaves us insecure enough to latch on to anything stronger than us especially something familiar and available yes our belonging groups. God actually is secondary in group settings because as groups we feel vulnerable as well so next and really majestic thing is God regardless of era we are born in we have people taking advantages of individual and group insecurities yes our political religions know all about individual and group weakness so God has been used politically by the groups of people and yes even our land disputes have been transitioned to religious disputes because individual passion can be used as a fuel to fire. Our belonging groups know all about these weaknesses so they cash in on it. Which individually makes us seek fitting in, impressing or be admired by our belonging groups so personally we take matters to extreme. Instead of suppressing it our political religions like that individual related extreme so not only they don’t discourage they encourage population not to talk against it. On one side we would follow what religions say yet on the other side we hoard, compromise our spirituality and commit crimes to secure ourselves, may not be like in past but it still goes on. Proof is in the pudding you can find Mosques, Temples and Churches full of people in most of human neighborhoods. Regardless of the popularity of religious places social crimes of those communities have never taken a break. From cheating, bribery, robbing and killing goes on indiscriminately of the particular belonging group. Who are these people and why they fill their religious buildings yet commit crimes at the same time? Why don’t they take responsibilities of their actions and self regulate? What compels them to assume that their bad actions would somehow be justified by God just because of their belonging to certain group?

Interestingly in a world where individual and group vulnerability and insecurity is prevalent things can’t go right in the long run especially if the survival is made optional but prayers are considered a duty. If religions are run like businesses and governments, collected money given by the people is used for monumental architectural or even laundered but not spent on fighting poverty and hunger of the real vulnerable and insecure. The collectors themselves are the victims of insecurity and vulnerability as well because they are trying to hoard power and political control. Question is how can they be preaching against it? If you are an insecure and vulnerable individual who grew up amongst the people who are in the same boat, that insecurity and vulnerability runs in the group like blood runs in our body. Draining all that blood out would be a monumental task because of the resistance coming from people who have politically installed it.

If you start to look at social crimes, level of happiness and contentment of the people in the different societies, you will find some interesting stats. My question would be why would religious societies not do better than so called Godless and socialist societies? Why would they be lower on the scale of happiness and contentment? After all what is the purpose of having a belief system? If we are all live in a mortal skin individually shouldn’t our belief system help? Why religious people resist spiritual things like universal health care, welfare and other social services and vote against democratic values and don’t believe in equal human rights? Why don’t they self correct to meet the demands of changing times? Why there is religious rigidity to resist and accept other people’s rights for having difference of opinion? Why they claim that their path of knowledge about God has certainty beyond the cliff of faith but everyone else is on the wrong path or foot prints. Why they believe other human knowledge is subject to evolve but their religious knowledge is not to be questioned?

Remember our religious beliefs are highly influenced by the politics of our sense of belonging and we individually just can’t get around it to have our common sense related spiritual philosophy. Like don’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or to your loved one, or live and let live etc. After all we are human beings and are aware of our spiritual side. Don’t forget if it is political with religious twist or religious with political twist regardless of which way it twists its all political. God has nothing to do with it. Anything demanded as rules of a human society that should go through a rigorous, critical and strict scrutiny just like our justice systems. Rules founded on the principles of equal human individual rights are the closest to spirituality so anything other than that would be a belief system founded on the exclusivity. WHICH CLEARLY MEANS ITS PREJUDICIAL AND DISCRIMINATORY TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT THE FOLLOWERS SO LOGICALLY ANY ORGANIZATION WHICH REJECTS OTHER HUMAN BEINGS AS EQUAL SIMPLY CAN’T BE SPIRITUAL PATH BECAUSE SPIRITUALITY IS PURE OF POLITICS OF BELONGING.

By looking at what is happening in the world today you simply can’t punish or judge anyone like we did in the past. From stoning to death for adultery or chopping hands for stealing don’t look like coming from a loving God who installed sexual desire and the rights to survive to begin with. It clearly states a political point of controlling by fear and force so if that political control is in the foundation of the rules its coming from the era of an other time when there were not that many hungry and desperate people. Implicating or blaming God for our political rules of a human community would be a short sighted venture because if an individual goes hungry in a human society, spiritually and logically that society is equally responsible for their individual’s criminal behavior. That is why regardless of criminal behaviors today people don’t get stoned to death even in the communities where it was originated because the modern world condemns harsh punishments as barbaric practices.

Cliff of faith is a line drawn for us all individually and collectively because of our mortal nature. Its not because of what we believe or whatever we are taught to believe. WE ALL ARE SUBJECT TO EXPIRE TO FACE THAT CLIFF OF FAITH INDIVIDUALLY. Since we are born as a human being and are exposed to the faith of our parents and their belonging group’s belief system. Automatically it would be expected for us to follow our belonging communities, nations and religions. So following the same foot prints left by our ancestors would be a normal thing to do. Not only out of loyalties to belonging group or because of right or wrong but because of the influential politics of sense of belonging. Problem is that we have hundreds and even thousands of human communities so there would automatically be several paths of foot prints. Unfortunately or fortunately none of them knows for sure or is 100% sure what is going to be beyond that cliff of our faiths because one has to die to find our and no one comes back to tell us the real story. So whatever is taught to us by our belonging groups we have to believe it as a truth.

Personally I believe God is like fully bloomed flower or a majestic tree which produces billions of seeds and none of the seed looks like God so comparing God with human individual intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually would not be wise. We are those billions of seeds who have never seen God or the essence of God from within or have experienced bloomed life or seen anything beyond our abilities. It would be like our two cells deep inside our body talking to each other whether the body exists or not. Since we have been and are in the process of evolution we can not and I repeat can not claim to have ultimate knowledge of God, if someone does they would be using assumptions. Our level of understanding even ourselves is not yet complete never mind God. Our knowledge of God will always be in the process of evolution for us because even our potential is in an evolving process. Claiming to know everything beyond the cliff of faith would be on the foundation of faith which is not necessarily a truth based because we are taught that our truth is the only truth. Now look around and see for yourself how our truths are highly influenced by the politics of our sense of belonging. We can’t even agree with our scientific and repeatable factual knowledge never mind our religious beliefs. Remember we have clear signs of disagreements even in our religions in shape of our sects so these are not spiritual differences, if they are spiritual they would have to be political.

Our claims of knowing everything, is full of our egotistic assumptions and they belong to the politics of our belonging groups. Logically if we are learning something new everyday simply our knowledge is not complete. Yes regardless of our assumptions. There is always something to learn what tells us that we have to learn more to understand more. By accept being a human being who is genetically and spiritually programed to evolve, we simply can’t be satisfied with our existing knowledge regardless of the field. Our reality is that we have been and are still fighting and killing each other over our assumptions regardless of the level of our understanding. Unfortunately our assumptions are literally riddled with the political influences of our belonging groups.

Every foot prints related path to the cliff of faith have their passionate followers and they can all be right if their followers individually can lead their mortal life with inner and external peace in their living years. Our problems start when we put each other down and claim that we are the only group who is on the right path and even God is exclusively with us. Not only it makes us individually and collectively prejudiced and discriminatory against all those who have no fault of their own to be born on the other paths we implicate God in this human politics as well. Everyone is totally innocent of being a part of any group because they are born into it so believing others are guilty of being on the wrong path is totally non spiritual and is political. Which is simply and spiritually wrong because it makes God as a discriminatory and prejudicial figure as well.

That is where I believe non of us knows what is out there? To me God is not exclusively for some people otherwise everyone would be born on the same path. There is nothing clearer than one thing and that is the political influences coming from our belonging groups. My question is who and what is the cause of it all? Is it the insecure, vulnerable, passionate and ignorant individual or exclusivity related politics of an insecure group which makes individual to feel inferior or irrelevant? If that is the case what are our individual options to solve these fantastical and problematic behaviors of individuals and belonging groups. To me one thing is for sure whether its individual or collective, our problems have to be solved and solved soon by all of us because a passionate human being with nuclear and biological weaponry is a lot more dangerous than with a sword or a spear. We can bring those predicted scenarios written in our holly books to life and that would not be coming from spiritual God, but from the physical one who is under the influences of the politics of belonging.

I am not trying to be comfortable in the mysteries of it all, quit the contrary I am trying to make sense out of this highly problematic human behavior. I am not even questioning our ancestral knowledge, simply I am trying to point towards basic flaws of our group politics of belonging.

If you believe that carrot and stick philosophy is coming from God we have to look at it with an open mind. Before we go there I want to clear one thing. If God is almighty with ultimate knowledge of what is going to happen before it happens. If God is the chief justice of it all, no one and I mean no one of us would be able to do anything wrong. SIMPLE AS THAT. Our justice systems in all over the world would fall and lose their importance. I mean they will literally come down crashing and become useless or needed. IF EVERYONE OF US CONSIDERED AS A PROGRAMED ENTITY LIKE BEES AND ANTS OUR ATOM OF AUTONOMY AND RELATED FREE WILL WOULD NOT MEAN ANYTHING.

Unfortunately or fortunately that is not the case, remember if carrot and stick was from God, God simply would be a political entity. Since I believe God is a spiritual entity and can not and I repeat can not be FOR INJUSTICE. Since we all have been created with our individual atom of autonomy and are able to use our related free will, compassion and personal sense of justice. Everything falls on our individual and collective shoulders that is why we have all these justice systems around the world. We are all responsible for our individual actions, so logically all the injustice is done by us. That means we collectively created carrot and stick philosophy to have control over our belonging individuals. We created fear based politics which unfortunately or fortunately is not working in the era of equal human rights.

My reasons to believe that they are not coming from God are, that they are political so they can not be from God. Human group politics simply uses lies, deceits and twists the truths to gain and sustain control and power. That is why I would prefer God not to be the part of my politics. That is why I believe, if it is for political control or it is for some people but not for all, simply its not from God. If everything was meant to be, we would never have the free will. Everything is pointing towards individual and personal strength to take on responsibilities of personal actions. We all individually should try to grasp and understand philosophy of reciprocation as a duty. Meaning we can enjoy our living years as well as do Godly work to convert spirituality into physical actions. This is where group politics comes in and plays a role to make us feel inferior, unimportant and irrelevant so the middle men can assume power and control so whether you like it or not there is a political twist to it.

Now look at all the progress humanity has made so far in everything other than the spiritual department. Sure we made some progress to bring democracy and equal human individual rights, but if humanity still needs political belonging to our groups it is a clear sign of insecurity and vulnerability individually and collectively. If our insecurity related politics is in the foundation of it all belonging groups, does that mean God is irrelevant? No, no and no because every action of human individual is done with the help of God as well as human individual will. Remember we are all blessed with the free will, God did Godly duty by providing us all an individually living and functioning body and life sustaining circumstances like oxygen and other things beyond our control for instance we have no control what goes on internally and externally, until the day we die. What we do during our living years is our individual and personal responsibility so reciprocation for all that is the purpose of human individual’s life. Instead of helping if we choose to do harm to others or whatever we don’t like done to us or to our loved ones. We cross lines of justice and become subject to punishments and that all should be done in our living years by the living breathing humanity. Logically since God has made us responsible for our actions and we happen to live in human social settings as humanity. We individually and collectively should have clearly written rules related to justice systems. That is why we find it is too much to chop off someone’s hand or stone to death for certain crimes. The whole system of punishment should be in the hands of humanity because as individuals we all belong to humanity while we are alive and responsible for personal actions. Remember if the crime is committed by the individual against the individual all in the living years punishment should be in living years as well. The notion of being punish by God in after life does not fit well in real life because we are the work horses of God to make things happen physically. Since we have been believing all this for thousands of years it is hard to grasp the idea of living human being, being responsible and should be punished in living years so God should not have anything to with our politics.

If you go to our courts they clearly call crimes committed against people and punishments are written by the people. Even they still use holy books for taking oaths but the real justice is done by the justice system not left on God to decide in after life. Another thing comes to mind is that you have to have a physical body to feel pain and suffering of burning in hell or enjoy the bounties of heaven. If we are going to get a new body after we die then why our major religions don’t believe in reincarnation? Anyway if you don’t have a physical body you don’t get to enjoy all the rivers of milk and honey nor you should feel the pain of eternal hell and why do we explain hell as a burning place anyway? You can easily find the answer if you go close to fire the intense pain is the answer for you, so anything what we value or hate is used as an example of life after the cliff of faith.

My question is why would God use carrot and stick philosophy if a human being is blessed with the ability of self regulation and a choice? They both become important with the awareness and the strength of spiritual side so fear and greed would be related to our animal side. That clearly means our religions have been treating us exactly like other animals because they response well with the carrot and stick philosophy. To me you simply can’t stand a human being in the line up of other animals because we are able to self regulate.

God is not stopping you and is not there to punish you in your living years so logically it should raise the crime rate instead of dropping it. Our crimes are not low because of carrot and stick they are low because most of us self regulate without any fear or greed. We know the difference between right and wrong but we can have several different reasons to commit crimes. From survival to addictions and everything in between can be the real causes but the biggest cause of our major crimes is the politics of our sense of belonging to our groups. So it is not only the individual who is responsible for the lower or higher crimes rates of our communities. If someone has to steal a loaf of bread to survive that community does not deserve the control on that individual. If you bring God into it I would not believe in that God who punishes someone who needs help to even survive. Remember reciprocating goes as a duty from both sides meaning God has to pan out for the individual as well. There should not be greed of heaven or fear of hell from the individual side so it is all for the love of God and nothing but. Since we have been blessed with the free will we should be encouraged to choose to self regulate instead of scaring us and treating us like animals.

If we are reincarnated for the purposes of life after the cliff of faith then we all should agree on it, if we can’t then why every path claims that they are on the right path? In reality no one has any proof of what is beyond the cliff of faith so they create a greed and fear based philosophy to keep the individual feeling weak, insecure, vulnerable, insignificant and irrelevant so they stick to the belonging group in their living years. To the controlling group its not important what happens after death especially if you are in the business of political control so the individual has to evolve to become a CEO to understand what is going on politically and how important is to know their personal spirituality.

If we believe in reincarnation, then we will have to believe in heaven and hell and then we will have to believe God is some human like figure who likes to reward for ass kissing and punishes for disobedience. Yet gives a free will to choose with bad circumstances of life. Where sometimes you have to steal a loaf of bread to survive just to get the hand chopped off and then punish in the hell as well. It just does not make any sense to implicate God in human’s inhuman behaviors. What kind of picture of God has been drawn by the religions? For an ordinary, insecure and vulnerable human being that is a horrific and no win situation, so remember to ask even if you kiss ass who benefits from your being a good citizen . Would that be God or the people who are in control especially in your living years? Why do they demand total obedience even by force yet God has blessed each and every human individual with the same free will. Why our belonging groups want us to live like a worker bee or a warrior ant? Why are we treated and disrespected like animals and threatened with the punishment of hell? Yet we are the one who convert spirituality into physicality if human being is treated as irrelevant being then God’s spiritual work should take place without the good physical actions of human individual. If not then why religions don’t acknowledge that most important aspect of this holy picture? Try taking the politics out if you want to see the real picture of spirituality. Importance of human individual is shown in every spiritual action of humanity, you just have to be willing to look at it beyond the boundaries of your religious beliefs.

I am trying to bring our spiritual belief systems out of our fantasy and mystery based presentations similar to Harry Potter movie type explanations because real damage has been done to the ordinary individual’s personal belief system. In real life people pay a real price when there are disputes. Who and what is responsible for all that and don’t tell me it is God’s will. If I have to buy all that yet blindly and I have to sale all that to my coming generations that would be an injustice on my part. So I am going to question the literal hell out of this. Until each and everyone of us wakes up and starts to take personal responsibility for every action taken by us as individuals even if it is in the name of our religions.

If we don’t take responsibility who will? God or the politicians of belonging groups? God simply can’t be because we have been blessed with our own atom of autonomy. Which comes with our personal free will, compassion and personal sense of justice so the real culprit is the politics of our sense of belonging. A blindingly powerful human phenomenon which has turn the best of us and even our Mullahs and Priests into extremists. It strips them off of their responsibilities of being the spiritual leaders. If no one comes back to tell us the truth about what happens after we die why our Mullahs and Priests keep preaching their truths yet with passion? What is behind their special understanding? If every path leads to the cliff of faith, why don’t we question our religions just like we question everything else in humanity?.

We have made tremendous progress in everything because we questioned the hell out of everything. When it comes to our religious beliefs we have been denied questioning that knowledge. Today in the era of equal human rights we are still preaching prejudice and discrimination related injustices yet openly and proudly. If we would have questioned paths of our ancestral foot prints as we have questioned everything else, we probably would have stopped killing each other in the name of political belonging. We would have been as advanced in our spirituality as we are in our medicine, science and technology but unfortunately that is not the case. Today if you get sick with Corona virus you are going to be looking at the antibodies and vaccination instead of looking into thousands of years old prescriptions of prayers and sacrifice for your modern day problems. If you have a problem with your computer, logically you should not take it to the Mullah or a Priest so snap out of it and smell the winds of modern day or the era you are born into and start questioning everything what gives you the problems. If you don’t question no one is going to dig in for the answers for you, you are looking for or the problems you are facing. It is the era of understanding, resolving problems and taking responsibility. Regardless of the reasons of global warming we need to take charge and do something about it. We can’t be throwing virgins over the cliffs to please God believing God is mad at us. When we have a problem we go to the professional of that field who spent years in learning their craft. You can’t be going to an eye doctor if you have a problem with your plumbing. You should get the point by now.

Leaving religions as an unquestionable world would keep us with a gap of at least two thousand years. Fortunately that major problem can easily be solved. Simply removing the politics of our sense of belonging, cleaning up and turning our religious beliefs into spiritual beliefs. If we would have discovered that our politics of sense of belonging has been robbing our spirituality, at the least we would have overcome our killing of each other.

Sure it is politics related but Pope has come out and accepted to work in favor of equal human individual rights and against prejudice and discrimination which should have been done two thousands years ago. Even if it is two thousand years late still it is a positive, progressive and evolutionary step towards spiritual direction. Now other religious leaders should come out and smell he roses of equal human individual rights to fill the gap I talked about.

Our regional belonging related traditions, customs, rituals and rules are not related to our spirituality because spirituality is universal and crosses lines of all groups, nations and religions. All the passionate desires to fit in, impress and to be admired are totally related to the approvals of our belonging groups so self harm to mutilation to bleeding in the name of beloved religious figures to fasting and sacrifice have been traditional across the world. Even human sacrifice was a part of twenty five different human societies not connected to each other because of distances. That all have been in the name of God. Today we don’t throw virgins over the cliffs because we have figured out that, God was never demanding sacrifice or I should say ass kissing, it was always us who committed those spiritual crimes against the innocents. Today we know the paths of storms and the causes of our problems, we know and can see things like Corona virus so we find solutions as humanity. Why and how did we figure all these things out? Remember no scientific advancement came out of our religious buildings or by our Mullahs or Priests. The people who brought out things to save humanity have been called Godless and sinners by our Mullahs and Priests throughout the history. Personally I credit where it is due if a scientist who saves millions of lives like the inventor of insulin did. To me he would be closer to God more than any Mullah or Priest regardless of their claims to be Godly people. I believe God lives through people so saving lives would be as spiritual as it can be and killing in the name of God even the innocents would be and should be described as a spiritual crime. Ponder this for a while so you can understand the differences between spirituality and the politics of sense of belonging riddled religious beliefs. Best spiritual thing would be to become a helping hand of God. If someone prays to God and asks help be the one who help because that is the duty and purpose of human life. I call it a reciprocation. Sure it feels and sounds like an optional thing because of our free will but God’s work is done by God’s physical side and that is what we all are. If we are suffering from the ill effects of our politics of belonging we need to dig in for the answers to find out what is really driving us to hate and kill each other? Whatever is behind our differences can be countered by individual understanding of political belonging.

If you look at it logically, the driving force behind all that is the desire of spiritual fulfillment so instead of wasting blood to follow a religious tradition modernize and make amendments to the traditions so you can learn to donate it every year to save someone’s life. Instead of fasting go ahead and feed who is forced to go without food. Instead of self mutilation to feel the pain help someone in the real pain. Instead of going to mosque or church for prayers go for practical prayers like actually helping humanity rid of real poverty and related sufferings. You would feel more spiritually fulfilled than impressing people in the mosque or church. Remember all kind of gatherings of human beings can’t be pure of politics. There are different kinds of pain a human being can feel so if you are in pain and suffering and looking for the solutions in the mosques and churches you should try actually becoming a God’s working horse and see how you transform spirituality into physical reality for others and self simultaneously. In the end of the day its the practical prayers what is near and dear to God and even if you don’t believe in any kind of religious beliefs you still can be spiritually fulfilled by being a God’s helping hand. If you are suffering spiritually regardless of following your religiously prescribed traditions, customs, rituals and rules try changing things around to please God by becoming a Godly individual who gives life to spiritual thoughts and that is not going to happen by you simply and metaphorically kissing Godly ass and not doing the job what you have been created or given life for.

Just look at our cars, planes or boats they are not the same as we had in past, question is why? If we have the powers to change things around us why aren’t we changing ourselves with our progresses in all departments of life? We always have done good and bad things, shouldn’t the ratio of our bad things related behavior go down by our civilization? Why are we evolving with imbalances? On one side we are developing nuclear weapons and on the other side we are stuck with our unjust politics of sense of belonging. We have not changed or stopped our killing each other, interestingly it did not take a break even during the thick of Corona virus. Why can’t we individually see ourselves as the CEO s of our lives who actually is a decision maker.

Remember God does not reside in political places like mosques, temples and churches God is in living breathing people who are suffering and are in need. If you give and donate to create majestic mosques, churches and religious places but see poverty all around them you are feeding the wrong beast. It is not the building it is the human heart where God lives so if you are trying to find some inner peace for yourself seek in removing pain from humanity to feel useful and meaningful. Sense of being meaningful, relevant and important is always good for the self-esteem related feel good hormones so let them flow.

Just like our chemicals or hormones we all look alike and function similarly meanings we have one nose, two eyes, a mouth and a similar body so there is a universal desire to stand out which drives us all to achieve a higher status in competition oriented societies. Our desire to follow our genetically influenced calls to advance in all areas of our life. For instance regardless of our advancements there is no settling for us we strive to achieve. Our similarities don’t end at looks, we have most and everything in common. For instance we need oxygen, water, food, shelter and love to survive. Yet some of us can’t suppress our desires to dominate others which can be related with alpha genes. Yes there is an animal side to us just like other creatures and we can’t deny that regardless of all the civilization under our belt. We still play the same game of life what is played by the other creatures in the bush. Our trouble is that we can’t be running around physically expressing ourselves. We have our courts or justice system related rules to follow. Sure we need our animal traits to survive whether it is in the bush or in the urban jungle but we are not just like the other animals. We are a spiritual entity living a physical life or a physical being experiencing a spiritual journey. Living as an animal exclusively is not a human thing nor a life of an angel.

We are all human beings and we need to live like a human being because we are aware of our mortal nature. Ignoring that would lead us to personal or internal chaos because regardless of all the power and control we accumulate we have to leave everything behind. Since mortality always wins, it reminds and teaches us to be humble, which is the proof of us being spiritual. You can learn further if you seek but unfortunately we are still in the process of a constant learning and not every one is on the same page at the same time. Modern day’s major problem is expression and understanding of our alpha genes with modern weaponry. You simply can’t be going to war because you have the natural desire to dominate others.

People use to praise and sing songs about their warriors, mind you they still sing those songs but today’s weaponry is not the same. The time of swords, spears and arrows has long been gone so songs of bravery may not mean anything today. Today’s weaponry kills without a fighting chance to be a brave warrior. It does not distinguish between warrior or an innocent child because indiscriminate bombing is done remotely. Our compassionate rules of sparing children and women are gone with the swords, spears and arrows. Question is did we evolve from being an animal? Answer is a mixed bag because on one hand we are compassionate enough to try to save other animals from extinction and on the other we kill our own kind indiscriminately and regardless of their guilt, sex or age. Our spiritual side makes us do good and help but the powerful and almighty politics of sense of belonging drives us to kill weak, vulnerable and even innocents.

Now ask yourself where do you personally stand? Are you able to control your genetically inspired animal desires to dominate or you are a humble, compassionate and a loving spiritual entity. Being honest will put you in the middle where it is healthy for a human individual. If you don’t understand the importance of balance you would act either as an animal or let others push you around. Our problem is that we are taught both extremes. We are taught you are either one or the other you just can’t be both. Just like either you are with God or you are with Devil you simply can’t be a human being. You not knowing your real identity, potentially you can get torn apart from within so your best bet would be to understand your triangle philosophy. You being on the top corner you will get the chance to create balance between your animal and spiritual side otherwise you may choose extreme. If you totally choose to act like an animal or dare I say Devil you are not on the top corner and will miss out on spiritual fulfillment. If you are totally devoted to live spiritually God would be on the top corner, you maybe fulfilled spiritually but you will miss out on the enjoyments of being a physical entity in your living years.

Now remember you have been blessed with your personal atom of autonomy which allows you to choose to be a healthy and well rounded CEO of your life. Since you are not created like an angel who does not have any desires and does not suffer any consequences of being deprived. To me they are inferior to human beings, because as human beings when we do good things we do it by choice and that puts us ahead of angels. Our unique make up is a spiritual entity having a physical experience or a physical entity on a spiritual journey. If you choose extreme its your choice so don’t blame your belonging group or God for your unfulfilled life. God and other people are not to blame if you have your own free will. If your religion preaches you to live like an angel they have their political reasons behind that philosophy but you are totally responsible for the deprivations of your life. Since you are a human being, and being deprived can back fire for you internally so you should live like human being without any guilt. God can easily say remember I gave you your personal atom of autonomy to make you become a CEO of your life but you chose not to live like a human being. Since you have your personal atom of autonomy and you are a CEO of your life. That should make it easy for you to understand yourself, that you being half spiritual and half physical so it is your personal responsibility to nurture both sides of yourself to feel most comfortable in your mortal skin.
