If ideologies like democracy, autocracy, dictatorship, kingdom, ism or even religious beliefs are preaching to remove responsibilities of individual self-strength and free thinking. They are politically designed to rob the individual’s self-esteem so they can be used for political purposes. Making them feel irrelevant will make them feel irresponsible of their actions as well. So, politically preached sense of belonging to groups is a political tool used by most of our political systems. Group related passionate work and sacrifice or even stay quiet for the wrongdoing of the belonging group is inevitable. Remember it’s all designed to infiltrate our spiritual systems like religious beliefs as well. Sure, you will have to hide it behind God’s name to make it popular. So, most of our belief systems and even governing systems are not only preaching God, Devil and Big brother are the most powerful and above the importance of human individual. Remember an injustice is an injustice regardless of why it’s committed, if you twist the truth politically its not a truth anymore. Most governing systems and even belief systems are actually preaching that human and their physical input is irrelevant in the larger scale. For instance, you if you are told to believe that your prophet had, died for your sins. There is a chance of you thinking being forgiven of past, present and future sins. What does it do? Logically looking at this philosophy you can discover that, it indirectly says that as long as you are part of and really believe in religious ritual, traditions, customs and rules, you are going to be forgiven regardless of what you have done in your living years. So, it’s openly preached that in reality God and Devil are responsible for your actions. You are not even worth talking about and are irrelevant in the larger scheme of life. All the good and bad of the world is not even in the grasp of a human being. Yet it’s clearly provable that without the human’s physicality and choices, all the good and bad would stay suspended up in the air or in an imaginary world because a spiritual good deed and even a bad deed has to be physically done or performed to be effective, meaningful, useful or harmful.
If you go a little further even socialism and communism are in the similar boat because they preach community and government is responsible for everything especially when it comes to the needs of a human individuals. All these belief systems and governing systems have one thing in common and that is to deny the human individual of their freedom, importance and relevance. According to the politics of governing, if they are able to make human individual feel irrelevant, politically they have succeeded but in reality, free and strong human individual makes a stronger fabric of community, nation and even religion. If you as an individual are the one who is holding an atom of autonomy related free will, personal sense of justice and ability to be compassionate and loving. It clearly describes the reasons of the importance of human individual and their personal physical actions.
Depending on the actions of a human individual, people commonly use a metaphor like good little Angle or a little Devil. Those labels simply don’t come to the individual by thinking of good and bad things, they will have to be acted upon physically to gain those titles. Remember no matter what we think or imagine, does not give us our good and bad name, even our court system waits for us to physically act to be charged for a crime. OUR PHYSICAL ACTIONS ARE THE MAIN STORY OF FLIPPED TRIANGLE. When we PHYSICALLY help or harm someone, then and only then we have affected someone or people with our good or bad physical actions. That is why our physical actions dictate these corresponding metaphors for us to be relevant. Sure, we need to have life sustaining circumstances to be living, and they are not in our control or under our demand. For instance, oxygen and functioning body to be physically meaningful. Remember if we can’t function without the oxygen, we are dependent on that external and even internal help. Which means, it’s kind of obvious that we simply don’t act on our own and even our own actions have some help. Yet, being a human being, we have a free will and personal sense of justice, that puts us all in a class of our own. Our actions are our choices and are judged by the benefits or harms they cause to others around or to even ourselves from within.
Interestingly our good and bad are dependent on the level of our personal evolution as well. Meaning, they don’t stay good and bad permanently and sometime exchange places. For instance equal human rights are not the thing of past so they are making bigotry, prejudice and discrimination as the bad titles of today’s human individual. Yet, not so far in the past they were a matter of pride. As the humanity evolves so do our opinions of good and bad. Since our good and bad have been, are, and will be evolving with time. Either by the slowly shifting public opinions or by some abrupt incidents like wars, we all change accordingly. Slow changes, like bad to not so bad to commonly accepted and then celebrated by the majority can bring along rules absolutely to the opposite. From really good to so, so to altogether bad are seen and accepted by most population of the world. Reality is that our good and bad have always been exchanging places all along but some of us simply are too comfortable in their present way of living, so they are politically stuck in the past related ways of doing things.
Being a conservative who don’t want anything to change, or being a liberal who wants everything to change at once is the problem. Any change can automatically bring conflicts with those who don’t want to stay or want to stay in those old boundaries. Social realities of today’s human societies or humanity are much different than even from the last century. Never mind two thousand years ago, old traditions, customs, rituals and rules can bring conflicts among us simply because of our evolving nature. Today you can see especially the conservative nations struggling to keep themselves in the good grace of evolved humanity. WHICH IS COMPELLED BY THE LIGITIMACY OF THE EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS, YET NOT TOO LONG AGO MOST OF OUR GROUPS, NATIONS AND RELIGIONS WERE TOTALLY PROUD OF BEING BIGOT, PREJUDICED, AND DISCRIMINATORY. There troubles are related to their conservative populations, because some of the people don’t want to let go of their prejudicial and discriminatory traditions, customs, rituals and rules. Yet their coming generations are putting more value to equal human rights and abandoning their extremist and traditional rhetoric. Saudi Arabia is a clear example of this evolutionary tug of war.
Equal human rights simply mean you can’t have your race, nation or religious beliefs as superior to all other differently believing human beings. So, if the humanity is preaching to install equal justice in the courts of law, groups of people, nations and religions will have to learn to change according to the needs of evolving humanity or be looked down by the whole world, humanity and even their own new generations. Some nations are struggling and going back and forth with the issues like abortion rights. Not because of its right or wrong but by their populations are switching their opinions. In other words, their accepted social boundaries or good and bad are exchanging places. Conservative and liberal forces are in tug of war with these issues, yet priorities of humanity are changing at a much rapid speed than general population. Real battle is not even between right or wrong or good and bad anymore but it’s between two segments of the same population. Problems of humanity are not, which nation or religion is strong and dominating but how fast the education level of the individual is rising to individually claim and demand for equal human rights. Since there is no set individual rhythm in our evolution, for some it can be like flicking a light switch or a dragged-out realization. One can’t really gauge or predict what’s coming in the near future of the belonging society, so potentially things can go back and forth. In some of the most conservative and religious societies are changing to the point that they are ripping things apart right under the noses of their elders. Slow and gradual progress is a lot more plate able but instant demands for changes can be troublesome and threatening, so even nations can become victims of in fighting.
Real trouble is related to those extremely opposing segments of population who don’t believe in the evolving nature of the human being so they don’t want to change anything at all but that brews an opposing force, and they are the results of extreme conservatism, so they want to change everything and fast. All this hoopla raises questions of, where did these disputing principles originate from? Whether human beings are compelled by the strength of their evolving nature or held back by the politics of sense of belonging. Popularity of religious beliefs and nationalism says one thing, but all our modernization, progress and discoveries point to the strength of other direction. Now the question is, as a modern-day individual, how are you feeling from within? If you personally are influenced by the out-of-control politics of belonging, you would rather stay in the boundaries of conservative ideology to be comfortable. Evolutionary orders of God may not be appealing to you but remember political influences are from the belonging groups not from God. Since, our evolving nature is from God, in the end of the day our evolving nature will win over even your own children, so standing in their way may cause disputes in your household and cost you more than you have bargain religiously. Your instinctive love will clash with your universal love to rob you of your personal balance to be happy.
We individually come in life with tones of personal and collective solvable and unsolvable mysteries, especially within our mortal and allotted time. Some of us believe in God is doing everything simply because we know that our individual actions need oxygen, functioning body and favorable and life sustaining circumstances. Yet some of us don’t believe in any of those mysteries they just simplify by saying human individual is doing everything. Interestingly if we look at lack of our control on our life, mortality and its temporary physicality tells a different story. There is a constant help we depend on whether we like it or not, believe in it or not, our reality is that we can’t function without that help. So, logically our physicality depends on that source which is along with us from the time of us being sperm and egg. We don’t really know everything about that source of help, so some may deny it but most of the populations of the world have given the name. Most popular one is Allah and then God then everyone has their own way of describing that source. If every human action physically depends on the oxygen, favorable circumstances and functioning human body. We can’t really do anything physically and call it our own action. Good and bad is not even the question, that help from the source is crucial for us to make things happen physically. No wonder vast majority of the humanity believes in God, if you believe in God, you will be forced to believe in Devil as well because your belonging group would not like to attach bad things to God. Which leads to the question, if all that is going on within and around. Where should one fit in their free will? Our ability to choose throws a wrench in that belief simply because we are all dependent on the gifts to be physically functional. Since we are all God like entity ourselves, crediting God or blaming Devil for our individual and physical actions can be a problem. Especially while having a free will to choose at will, puts us in a class of our own, so hiding behind God and Devil can be questionable. Should we just believe in that we are responsible for our actions regardless of their good and bad nature. Now personally ask yourself this important question, are you crucial or are irrelevant in this holy picture? If you get confused, accept it as a part of your evolving nature because you are a work in progress. Being an evolving entity, you can physically see how much you have changed and how much more you have to grow and evolve? Having free will should bring you somewhere right in the middle. Meaning you have to accept that you are not doing everything, nor its all being done by God or Devil exclusively. This clap only sounds when you add your physicality to it. God and Devil stay suspended in the air, if there are no human beings. So, as I said God is like neutral building which we all rent, in our physically active years. Especially when we have a free will, we give life to our good and bad so in today’s world you can’t simply say God made me do it or Devil made me do it. In today’s court of law, it’s not going to be accepted. Since your politics of belonging has the power to influence you deep into your endocrine system, use your free will to be spiritually honest because it’s you who has to individually override all kind of influences.
If you want to look at power of Godly installed nature of evolution, just look at the history and see the journey of human progress. It has been winning, is winning and would always win because our political belonging is not natural, rather its political so it simply belongs to our installed knowledge which has always been constantly changing. How are you feeling from within individually? Would you rather stay in the boundaries, or you feel and believe that God has created you as a boundless entity? Do you wholeheartedly believe that you are an independently evolving entity? If we look back at our history, it shows that we have been bickering and arguing about our evolution. Whether it has been to slow down our evolution just to the point where we can wisely adopt to our original and rhythmically correct and adoptable speed of evolution or just follow our animal nature to kill each other over our politics of belonging. Remember we simply can’t control, contain or stop it regardless of what our belonging groups say. As you can see the results every nation on the face of the earth has been evolving and has evolved. Interestingly as the recent news says even the most conservative society like Saudi Arabia is changing big time to have fun, singing dancing and even opening Casinos.
Humanity has been and will always be changing, simply because we can’t stand still and depend on our metaphoric realities to solve our problems. This is not to put any doubt in anyone’s belief systems but rather to clarify something what logically does not make sense to me. I came up with this simple example to simplify a complex issue. So, let’s look at it this way, say you are in a building which rents big halls for social events. Observing different groups of people come and go because of their bookings, first group is considered as bad people, they got together to plan how to spread their bad business even further. As they leave another group comes in because of the booking slot. These people are all good and they are getting together to plan how to spread good for the betterment of humanity. When they leave, a third group comes in, they are kind of mixed bag people. They all get into heated discussion, argue and try to distinguish, come to terms and decide what is good and what is bad for them at present level of evolution. Now let’s look at all those people, their belonging business and the building itself. Logically that building is neutral itself, so it’s neither good nor bad.
This is where I have a dispute with general population because God and Devil are being respected or hated by the people. Simply to politically exonerate people from their horrendous actions. Interestingly if you believe in that you believe that building is not neutral. If most of us seem to believe that building itself is good or bad and we become good or bad because of the building simply by attending, we got a serious problem in our belief systems. Since building allows or contains those people who are physically committing good and bad does not and should not mean or make the building as good or bad. Since we all come with our atom of autonomy related free will, that should make the group of people or the individual responsible for that good and bad. Their actions are dependent on their physicality and free will related choices. If you go for logic, you will quit blaming or giving credit to the building instead you would take personal responsibilities and take charge to become a human being.
Always remember as human beings we all carry our personal and individual atom of autonomy which makes us responsible for our life. As a human individual if you consider yourself simply as a body and brain, you literally are denying that you are beyond the body and brain. Personally, I believe we are not simply a body and brain, nor we are the installed data. That makes us an integral and crucial part of this holy machine. If you believe that you are an irrelevant part of this holy picture or the machine that means you believe the machine would still run and function with or without you. If you don’t understand your standing, you still would be stuck in the world of irrelevance. Unless we go into the universe of assumptions, we actually wouldn’t know what happens to God and Devil. Especially if we remove human’s physicality out of that equation. Logically everything should come down crashing or at the least physically come to a screeching halt. Remember all that good and bad will stay in a thought process and will not take a physical form so it will stay irrelevant. Meaning God and Devil both would become irrelevant because no one would be there to convert their deeds into physical actions. There would not be anyone to benefit, harm or judge if human being is not there. Question would be what is good and for who? What is bad and for who? So regardless of our belief systems and the politics of their belonging, a living breathing human being should be respected for their physical contributions to make things actually and physically happen. Good and bad cross all the boundaries of humanity in general and belonging groups particularly nations and religions. Meaning spirituality or God related good and Devil related bad are universal. Simply because of our physical presence around the world as societies. Since we contribute our physicality to make Godly or Devilish actions happen in all human societies, human individual should be recognized and respected as a third equation whether people believe in God, Devil, religion or not. If you are in it to take one’s importance and relevance for political gains it’s not from God nor its spiritual, so first and far most thing you personally should do is to fix your personal spirituality, do the justice of being a human being who knows all about the politics of sense of belonging.
Let’s look at it this way, if you go to a ghost town, there are all the roads, bridges, electricity, sewer systems, buildings and houses are still in tacked but no one is living there to use or put a value on them. Question is who is going to put value on the valuables? Or as a matter of fact even God can’t be used as valuable because there is no one to benefit from God. As most religions claim human individuals are irrelevant, only God and Devil are the relevant ones. To me it’s not making any sense because I believe, if you make the human individual irrelevant, removing them should not make any difference, but that is not the case. Proof is in the pudding, without the human beings good and bad physically don’t take place. Personally I believe a living breathing human individual is a third equation. Our group politics of control has lead us to believe in God and Devil but we neglect to understand that if God and Devil don’t have human beings as partner they both become an empty building or a ghost town.
As human individuals, we may be small, seem and feel irrelevant but we are the main converter of spiritual thoughts or wisdom into physical actions. Unfortunately the opposite of good as well. When it comes to our religious beliefs most everyone says there is one and only one God. I personally believe in that as well but I believe we are all cells of God, continuously converting spiritual thoughts in to physical actions. I only stray when I look at how God’s work is being done. When they say one God they may mean that there is no other God or Gods. God forbid they would never mention that a human individual can be a partner of God because that would make a human individual relevant. They are fearful of individual powers, that is why they put so much efforts in individual brain washing of the belonging individual. I can imagine if we all become and believe in our relevance, how would religions hold on to their political powers? How would they gain an influences over a human individual who is a partner of God almighty? How are they going to be able to use them for their political purposes?
Our self respect and self esteem would be too high to be controlled by the politically savvy politicians. Interestingly we as human individuals a whole seven billions of us are in some manors working to convert God’s spiritual work into physical actions. Some of us may convert Devilish thoughts into physical actions but in general humanity works pretty well on its own simply because most of us are able to self-regulate and work to make God and Devil relevant. Now the question is how and why a human individual would want to do good by a choice? If you are able to pick and choose your actions, you will end up knowing and judging them as good and bad as well. Remember it should be according to the era you are born into not off by few thousands years.
Logically if your physicality gives life to good and bad, you are an equal partner in creating that good and bad, so you can’t simply give all the credit to God or totally blame Devil for your physical participation or literal actions. Its all because you have been blessed with a free will. Now if you ask the question do God and Devil have partners? Remember to explain it all logically, not with some widely accepted religious theories. If you are willing to accept that without the human beings God and Devil both lose their importance, then and only then you would be able to really learn the importance of physical contributions of human beings in creating physical realities. God and Devil would only be important when their abilities are measured. If I was born in the era of our prophets I would be following and accepting God and Devil as the ultimate entities. Since questioning God and Devil’s authority and how they work would be dangerous, most everyone would follow it all may be out of fear. Today things are different but not for everyone in the world, there are still people who kill and get killed in the name of their religions. Questions or standers of spirituality are still running below the politics of belonging in some societies of the world. Sure in the era of equal human rights and internet we are open to believe whatever we want to, and we are allowed to personally figure things out with logic. I know religious beliefs start where our logic fails, but to me whether its religious beliefs or not, logic or not human decencies call for us to work against ignorance related spiritual crimes like racism, bigotry, prejudice and discrimination.
As human individuals we all are born into our belonging groups, so whether you are born as a Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, or in any other belonging race, nation, religion or their sects. Always remember that was not by any ones choice, so you can’t be punished or punish someone for simply belonging to it. If you somehow are blamed or punished, those who are punishing you are simply and logically committing spiritual crimes.
I gave an example of humanity as a body with all kind of cells working to keep the body alive to stay alive. If you question, how the body becomes a body and functions? Is still a question humanity is learning about. We can question religiously or scientifically but without going to assumptions you can’t really answer. If you do you still will have to live your mortal life and go. If you think its important to you to find out do so but keep your mortal nature in front of you and do the justice to all departments of your life including people around so your mortal life is well lived. If you choose to believe in whatever you have been taught, remember that means you have been stuck in the stream or a river of your knowledge. Yet you should be picking and choosing from your ocean to live a life of a CEO. You can tell me we know a lot with our science but I am not talking about that one stream of knowledge. I am talking about the whole holy and spiritual picture of us being physical at the same time. We are still in the learning process of how to function physically and spiritually simultaneously. How to enjoy our metaphoric realities like believing in God, Love, Compassion, Personal sense of justice and everything what feeds our soul. Remember we don’t stand in the line up of other creatures yet we still can’t distinguish ourselves separate from God either. As a physical entity we need to have an understanding of how are we functioning with the ten trillions cells and hundred trillion non human bacteria within. Oxygen and favorable circumstances to live on the face of the earth are required and non of all that is in our individual control. Its kind of obvious when you dig into all that whether you take a scientific approach or religious approach you will always end up on the cliff of faith and becoming an extremist of anything is related to our half knowledge. Like politics of sense of belonging keeps us in believing whatever our ancestors believed and newly discovered scientific discoveries are pulling us to the opposite extreme. Remember we use to throw virgins over the cliffs to please God and now we know the paths of storms. I have to mention here that it all has happened because we evolved from our previous knowledge. What makes you think we are done evolving? If we are still evolving why are we choosing extreme even if it is science so putting a cap or believing our science is done evolving is simply wrong. We are still evolving and we don’t have all the answers so choosing any extreme is simply related to personal and individual ignorance or to the politics of belonging to our groups. Sure we solved a whole lot of our unknowns along the way and we don’t throw virgins over the cliffs anymore to please God but we are still in the process of evolution. Interestingly the more we know, the more we find out that we don’t know so instead of getting trenched into our political belonging we have to open up individually to learn more.
After reading all this, do you believe God and Devil have partners or not? Try taking human physicality out even metaphorically and see how things work for you God and Devil? So human individual is the biggest (Shareek) and partner of God and unfortunately Devil as well. Now if you see human beings are converting all the spirituality and even Devilish acts into physical actions and still deny it simply because you have been told God has no partner or partners. You will have to acknowledge human beings as partners of God or God lives through us as a physical entity. If you don’t you will have to come up with the answers with some miracles and rely on them. If you believe human being as a partner, we are billions of us so my example of the relationship between our body and our cells make sense. If you believe we are directly connected to God that would make us relevant which would go against our religious knowledge preaching human being as irrelevant or born sinner. You can say universe is created by God or humanity gave a name to our unknown entity.
You can think and assume all about the science of creation billions of years ago or you can create and believe in a belonging group related God, but I would rather stay in the realities of my individual mortal life time, or life at the individual level. A mortal life is a limited time so it has to be live accordingly. We should know how a belief in God helps or hurts us in our mortal life. To me delving into assumptions or our metaphoric realities should exclusively be for the benefits of living a successful mortal life. So instead of diving into the universe of assumptions I would prefer to stay into our present and living years so we don’t kill each other over our metaphoric realities. Killing someone over something we don’t even clearly know can’t be rewarding by God because it would be related to our ignorance and is a spiritual sin.
Our problem is that we can’t distinguish between good and bad because we personally are brain washed and have lost our personal sense of justice. We are blinded by the politics of belonging to our groups. Our religious beliefs have robbed us from our relevance and we bought into it wholeheartedly and as a result humanity has suffered and is still suffering from age old politics of belonging. No one can put a number on the killings done in the name of our political belonging. Even our religions claiming to be spiritual paths but killed unknowable number of innocent people and they are still at it. Unfortunately individually we fall victims of them willingly, we don’t question our personal actions, instead we let our politicians decide what is good or bad for us. We are unable to use our personal sense of justice simply because we are told what justice is. If you are blinded by the religious politics you have to start living in the era you are born into. Remember today being a racist, bigot, prejudice or discriminatory is not an asset, its counted as a human flaw. So religion or not, nationalism or not you are simply expected to be responsible for your individual actions.
Getting around all the identity politics is easier than you think, all you have to do is to acknowledge who you are? Remember your identity is that you are holding your personal atom of autonomy or God particle which gives you your free will, personal sense of justice and ability to use your compassion, love and simply being a human being. In the nut shell you are a mini God yourself or a little Devil as well. Since you are not created as a worker bee or a warrior ant you should not be looking at yourself as such. You are a superior entity then just to be an extension of an ideology or a group of people, you are you who holds an ocean and space all rolled up within. Get all this straightened out in your mind so you can make the right choices to live a comfortable mortal life. If you do something to some one what you don’t like done to you or to your loved one, even in the name of your belonging nation or religion that would be a spiritual crime and in the end of the day you still are responsible for your actions. If you are evolved enough and imagine putting yourself on the receiving end of your actions prior to committing them and are not comfortable with them, you are committing a spiritual crime. Remember we all come with the personal sense of justice from before birth. We all come dressed up with our spiritual jewelry but we can be stripped by the politics of our belonging. We have to out grow and evolve to the next level so we can leave our failed theories of political belonging to our groups. Logically and physically we belong to humanity as a whole, we belong to one spiritual God and our atom of autonomy self. Idea of belonging to our groups promotes that we are separate from humanity and God. Depending on how you personally look at God would dictate your feelings of relevance or irrelevance. If you connect to God as part of God or a physical cell of God, then you are not a (Shareek) or partner but you are rather part of God. If you separate yourself you become irrelevant. Now lets look at it this way, if human is separate from God but convert spirituality into physical actions, God has billions of (Shareeks) or partners. With this logic you can’t really say God is separate from human individuals, especially if you believe God has no partner or partners. When you go into the politics of belonging, your group does not want you to have that relevance because with that relevance you would start to question their authority so they become very agitated and emotional because they are losing their authority especially in today’s time. Still logically you can’t separate God and human individual because just like the body dies if you remove the soul and soul becomes a non physical without the physical body. Spirituality can’t function physically so loses its value. Now the question is do you believe God and human are separate or one. Either way you have to look at the importance of spirituality and physicality. If you separate them not only they both lose their importance, you would have to believe that God has Shreek or partner not one but billions of them. If you still stay stuck into your politics of belonging, you simply can’t explain how good deeds can be done without the input of human’s physicality.
Now I repeat again if you believe and acknowledge that human being is a workhorse to convert spirituality into physical actions you will have to believe God has partners. If you don’t you will have to explain how God’s work is being done physically, especially by you removing all the human’s physical input.
In India and Pakistan a whole lot of people go to the tombs of the long ago dead saints. Different sects of Islam believe differently so the people against call that a (shirk) one of the biggest sin to believe that God has partners. Since I haven’t been to Pakistan for a long time so I asked someone to send me some numbers so I can talk about in my blog. He said on one of the popular dead saint’s tomb alone, there are hundred fifty thousands people get fed on average so there is an unaccountable number of people get food on regular bases. Whatever religion or sect you are born into, you simply can’t deny these facts of spirituality being converted into physical actions. So to me dead saint or not I see spirituality being converted into physical actions regardless of the sectarian difference. You have to see the main actions, you simply can’t be against it because you were born into a group of people who believed differently. If you can’t see the facts because of the politics of your belonging you are politically blinded by the loyalties of belonging. You have to take your political blind folds off to see that its not the saints but rather living breathing human individuals taking actions and converting spirituality into physical actions. Saints have long been gone and are not physical anymore so its all those living people individually performing their duty to convert spirituality into physical actions. If you need a place to find people in need, you have to go there and if you are hungry or are in need, you go to a place where those helping hands of God go to help the needy. If you disagree with all that because of your political knowledge or the claims that God has no partners then you have to believe that God and human are not separate. Now lets look at the humanity as a whole, to me the whole humanity belong to God as cells of God so God is everywhere and in everyone. If you can’t see God in others who function and live just like you, you simply have to learn to look beyond the politics of belonging to your groups. If you can’t do that you are not any different than genetically programed creatures. As human beings we all have been blessed with our exclusively own atom of autonomy or God particle. So you belong to God and God belongs to you any and everything else is related to the politics of belonging.
Disputes and wars connected to our religions and their sects have been and are nothing more than politics of belonging. That is what separates you from God and spirituality, otherwise you are one of the two hands needed to make a sound of this spiritual clap.
There are a whole lot of religious people, their leaders and even Gurus preaching and promoting their belief systems to recruit more political power. I am not going to counter any of their claims nor I am going to claim that I know everything there is to know. Especially when it comes to the theories of life before birth or after death like reincarnation or hell and heaven or how the universe came to life etc. Reason is that if you follow your belonging groups knowledge and become a good human being those belief systems are worth exploring, but as you can see what is going on in the world you individually will have to take charge to navigate your spiritual living. Especially if things are not going so well for you, take charge and become a CEO of your life so your being good is not out of greed, fear or to simply impress others.
Here and there I may end up in the assumption zone to make my point but to say it straight forward I personally don’t like to be in that uncomfortable zone. I prefer to keep it as simple as it can be because to me it is more to do with our journey during our living years than the preached and prescribed destination or life after we die. Idea of cliff of faith( Read Cliff of Faith) is there to explain my point of view. I believe that acting with the ability to create physical out come out of spiritual thoughts can only be achieved while we are physically functioning so life after death simply can’t be useful for God. To be meaningful can only be done while we are alive so to me living this life to have a better life for after death only makes a political sense. Beyond our physicality or living years, truth is rather unknown so sacrificing a physical life whether you take it or give to it for an eternal comfort has not been proven even after thousands of years of straggles and wars. Unfortunately we all have to die first to really find out but then we can’t prove it because we are not physical any more. Question is will that be proven in our living years the answer should be no because history shows that we robbed Egyptian tombs of their material things. So putting all our eggs into that basket is much like a gambling bet. Should one gamble? Well most religions preach against gambling but are actively addicted to it simply because it gives them the power and control of the population. You really have to figure it out for yourself. What is more important for you while you have a say, or when you can’t perform even Godly assigned tasks physically? Ask yourself and make sure to think critically before you reach to your own cliff of faith. Don’t worry I am not going to paint a rosy picture of getting away from it, remember we all have to face that same music.
Sure people still talk and put each others belief systems down to gain political points. Some say Bible was compiled and written three hundred years after Jesus. If a king did not like something what was written, he wrote his own version. Even Qur’an is God’s words and can’t be changed yet our politics of belonging is so powerful that we still fight over our sectarian differences. Christians believe in Jesus and Muslims believe in prophet Mohammad yet still are divided in several sects and in fighting. If they believe in everything what is written in their respected holy books then what makes them fight? If its not politics then what is?. Our problems are not related to the good books, our problems are related to those who can inspire people to stray from the real messages of spirituality and act like non evolved creatures. So books, religious beliefs, God and human individual are all used by the groups politically. If you can’t see all the problems related to the politics of belonging, you need to dig in a little deeper and search for your personal atom of autonomy. That would show you how to use your free will, compassion, love, personal sense of justice and spirituality so you can see beyond the politics of belonging. Your being a good person is not in listening to the political messages but rather into your personal and individual spiritual evolution. Learn to know who and what you are? If you are an independent entity you suppose to use your free will to become the one who is responsible for your actions.
Never to forget as human beings our knowledge is not limited to one stream or river because even our individual brain is like an ocean. We constantly receive our knowledge as if its pouring in from all directions like rivers and streams. Its our individual responsibility to pick, choose, mix and match and use it all to live our personal and mortal life. Say you choose one stream of knowledge and don’t believe in yourself as an ocean, you potentially can choose science or religion exclusively that puts you in a tunnel of knowledge and you can’t learn anything other than what you have been exposed to or you have chosen. Say you choose science and believe all this religious mambo jumbo is non sense. Meaning you are neglecting what you were meant to be as a whole being. What about understanding and learning about emotions like love, compassion or even personal sense of justice. You could be a great scientist but miss out on understanding life as it should be understood. You simply can’t break down your feelings of love or compassion scientifically even if you try to because you were in the tunnel when all the knowledge was flowing. If you don’t understand it, that does not mean its is not there or was never there. If you pick religion and stay focused on the life after death, you are missing out as well because you are taking your metaphoric realities over board and robbing love of others in the name of your belief system. Simply you are putting more emphases on your metaphoric realities and ignoring others physical realities. Remember metaphoric realities may or may not become physical but physical reality is literally a physical reality and can’t be denied. Meaning you simply can’t bet everything on what may or may not be there or real. That is why we all have our own and exclusive brains, that is why we have our individual atom of autonomy so we can understand things individually and be responsible for our actions. If politics of belonging has you blinded, you are not looking at yourself as you should. Simply look at yourself as a mini God who is acting with personal sense of justice to all around including self.
As I say, we use to throw virgins over the cliff to please God yet God did not show up for all those poor virgins, simply because we were suppose to learn and evolve from our barbaric practices. Now we are reaping the benefits of the wisdom behind why God did not show up. Today we know where storm is going to hit, we can save lives by blood transfusion and moving on to understand what was not understood by our ancestors. Sure we still have our metaphoric realities but they always have been, are and will be there but they will always be on the shaky grounds because we are constantly evolving. Its crucial to understand that it help us all individually not to be in the tunnels of extremes. We have to be able to see that all our knowledge has been installed in us by our belonging groups as data. That data is to use for becoming a good spiritually aware person not to harm others and even ourselves. Picking, choosing, mixing and matching can come only when you believe that your identity is not that installed data. To me you are not even a computer you are an entity who is driving the car of your life or running the computer. If you let the politics of your belonging group rule you, you lose your status of being a human being and become a computer, a car or that installed data. That means you have been demoted from what God had meant for you.
If we are told God does not have any helpers or partners we should ask then how Godly things get done. If you are a CEO and understand your position in the larger scheme of life, you would know that God and even Devil’s work doesn’t get done unless you lend your physical hands backs and shoulders. When it comes to all that you will have to start thinking, so you can see things with open mind which is pure of the political influences. As you do that, you will see the real importance of human individuals. Remember in the end of the day spirituality only matters when its converted into physical actions. You can swing your spiritual hand as hard or as fast you want but if you don’t add physicality there is no sound of life. Like a Lilly in the forest pond can be very pretty but if there are no appreciative eyes to recognize or acknowledge the beauty, it is not very valuable.
If God is considered as good and Devil is blamed to be a bad entity, you would have to look at the third equation to do the real justice. Without that third equation all the good and bad lose their importance because if its good, how its recognized as good and good for who? If it’s bad, bad for who? Human is the only one who benefits or gets harmed by the good or bad so without their feelings of sufferings or benefits and their judgement, things can be in the murky water. When it comes to God and Devil, without human beings they automatically become neutral. Simply because the benefits or harms can’t be physically performed to be meaningful. So, logically, if you credit God and blame Devil for their good and bad, that will not work unless human beings lend their physicality. IF GODLY AND DEVILISH ACTIONS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE HUMAN PHYSICALITY, THEN PREACHING HUMAN IRRELEVANCE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A POLITICAL PLOY. WITHOU HUMAN BEINGS’ THINGS CAN GET LOST IN EVERY WAY.
As a human being you can only see that particular politics of relevance, if you are not under the influences of your belonging group and are a CEO who is able to pick, choose, mix and match the knowledge thrown at you. If you can’t see beyond the politics of belonging, either you have been brain washed to the point that you don’t question or you feel insecurities with low self-esteem to begin with. Making human beings look down at themselves or make them feel unimportant and irrelevant has been part of our politics of belonging to get and keep control. Your lack of self-respect leads to self-esteem issues to the point you don’t have your personal opinions. If you are there someone will think for you to bring you further down so you can be used politically.
Now the question is do you question your irrelevance? If you feel that you can’t think beyond one stream of knowledge, you have to think who is responsible for all that. Remember you can’t blame your belonging group, God or Devil because you are the one who is holding an atom of autonomy within. Who has an ocean of knowledge within the brain to pick, choose, mix and match to successfully live your mortal life. Those abilities to navigate have always been there but politics of belonging to our groups has always been able to strip them down. Even this day and age we are still struggling but things are getting better simply because humanity is leaning towards equal human rights. I don’t blame the politicians who take advantage of people because I blame the individual who is not acting responsibly. So what its going to be for you individually? Are you going to take charge and become a CEO of your life? Would you take responsibility for your actions or you demote and deny yourself of being an entity who converts spirituality into physicality. If you feel that you are not there yet, start thinking and dive into your personal ocean to find, pick, choose, mix and match your knowledge to life, a life of a human being instead of a genetically programed creature. Never forget that even God and Devil can’t perform physically without you lending your physicality to them. If you believe in miracles, believe so but after you have done your picking, choosing, mixing and matching. You simply can’t bet on your metaphoric realities over your physical realities.
On the other side if you are a scientist or a mathematician, you would be looking for the numbers to make sense to you, and you may think anything other than math and science is unimportant or religious people are just fanatics and crazy. That means you have put your self in the tunnel of one stream of knowledge believing life without the science does not make any sense. Yet others who believe in metaphoric realities live a richer human life than the person who does not believe in anything. You can spend all your life putting numbers together and die or you can spend believing life after death would be better. Either way you are in the tunnel of extreme and you forgot to pick, choose, mix and match to benefit from the ocean of your knowledge. Since you are the CEO you have to learn to live your living years successfully.
If you are a scholar of science or religion, and you pick and believe exclusively in that one subject, you still fail the test to be a whole human being. If you can kill with an atom bomb or slice someone’s throat in the name of your political belonging. You decided to pick one stream of knowledge yet you had a whole ocean available at your disposal. You claim that you are a fully grown human being but you fail your spiritual test miserably because you fail to see God in other human beings. Ocean of knowledge is your real identity yet you chose not to use it so you can’t claim knowing everything whats was in the ocean. Its like, if you have memorized a book or two, and you compare that stream of knowledge with an ocean of knowledge, claiming arrogantly that your stream of knowledge has more or better knowledge than the whole ocean. Yet the steam you are in or riding is pouring into the ocean right before your eyes. Its like comparing a group of people with the whole humanity or God. If you do that, simply its a sign of bigotry, prejudiced and discrimination. A being who is denying the potential to be a complete human being. Its time to reach for your real and Godly potential. If you still believe that you somehow become a better human being by simply belonging to a group of people you are stuck into a stream.
If you see and respect God within you and in others around you, you are picking, choosing, mixing and matching everything to become a CEO of your life. Being a CEO you can distinguish all the knowledge belonging to those ponds, streams and rivers and recognize the ocean within you. If you are a CEO you will be able to see the partnership between God and the human individual otherwise you can buy into anything whatever is sold to you whether it makes logical sense of not. Simple, straight forward and common sense knowledge says human being is doing all the good deeds or you can say converting spirituality into physical actions. If one says God is doing everything, sure I can buy into it but I would have to see how God’s work gets done. As I said before that God is in all of us and works through us, that makes us part of God. If you don’t buy into that you would have to believe that God has a partnership with human beings, that means God got partners and billions of them. So what is going to be? Are you going to see God within you? If you do then you will have to believe and see God in other people as well. Whether they belong to your belonging group or not. Meaning you can’t kill each other in the name of God. If you believe God is out there or up there somewhere then you would see yourself as different which makes you part of your belonging group and the politics of your belonging group would dictate everything. They would use God and you politically so even the spirituality would be dictated. People would decide what belongs to spirituality and God and what does not that clearly shows the picture of modern day humanity. We have hundreds of countries, a lot of religions and their sects all fighting with each other over who is right? But individually we all have to die to find out who and what is right. If you can afford to spend your whole mortal life into it do so, but if you don’t use all these steams of knowledge as streams you would be drowning with confusion within your own ocean, especially if you are still stuck into the politics of belonging.
We should all come down from our high horses of our religious and scientific knowledge and look at our present day problems. Like global warming, infectious diseases, violation of equal human rights and lets out grow our mass grave discoveries, they are nothing to brag about our ancestors. If you are born in today’s era you know instantly if there is any starvation, poverty and sickness going on anywhere in the humanity. You can’t simply be talking about what happened two thousands years ago or fifteen hundred years ago or how the world came to existence or whether God exists or not you get down to the arm pits of humanity and get your hands dirty without thinking about your belonging group’s superiority because humanity is one single organism and its life and blood is God or the other way around. If everyone is believing and preaching that their stream of knowledge is an ocean then why do we have all these world problems related to our prejudice and discrimination? Why the solutions are for a group of people not for humanity as a whole? If you can’t even get out of your prejudice and discrimination, you can’t be claiming to have an ocean as a knowledge. An ocean would provide the solutions like equal human rights, universal spirituality and equal justice for the individual regardless of where on earth they live or are from. That is the type of justice you can connect to God, if you connect your prejudice and discrimination to God you simply are committing spiritual crimes.
We all have to take our individual and collective responsibility and do the best against the present day problems. Remember we can’t go back and change things nor we can predict and solve the problems by going in the future. We all need to become realistic about human life, individually and collectively because our ocean is calling for picking, choosing, mixing and matching our knowledge. Our problem is that we are all educated by and are stuck into our ponds, streams and rivers so regardless of the availability of the ocean of knowledge our politics of belonging has been and still so powerful that even our knowledge is exclusive and biased. LETS CHOOSE OCEAN OF OUR KNOWLEDGE OVER OUR BUILDINGS, PONDS, STREAMS AND RIVERS BECAUSE WE CAN DO BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
