Bleeding heads

Please ignore the English and stay focus on the content.

Say you are going somewhere and see a person is banging his/her head against the wall, regardless of the bleeding he/she continue the action. You will feel sorry for the individual and would try to know what is wrong so you could be a help. Now you go a little further and see a hundred people doing the same thing, you would really start to wonder how that can be, that so many people are banging their heads regardless of the bleeding. Going to the next level and you see billions of people are doing the same thing, then you start to wonder about your personal mental health because you are the odd one. If you wonder that there is something wrong with you hang tight and judge it for yourself.

I know my voice is weak and too small, but what makes sense to me is big for me. If banging your head to the point it bleeds is wrong, a wrong is a wrong regardless of numbers. It is very easy to be passionate about the correctness of ancestral knowledge, yet very hard to stand against the wrong especially when that wrong belongs to your personal belonging group. 

Sense of belonging is a powerful phenomenon thus everyone gets trenched in, and defend even the wrong, because of the egotistic sense of belonging.        

Doctor Wayne Dyer gives an example of squeezing an orange , that an orange gives you  orange juice when squeezed, you can’t get an orange juice out of an apple. If you have hate in you , upon squeezing hate will come out. Strong sense of belonging would muffle you sense of equal justice for all human beings.   

Learning about your self can help you to find out, what do you carry inside? A spiritual being, or a sense of belonging crazy follower,  whether you are an apple or an orange. There is nothing wrong with either, but there is plenty wrong when they pretend to be others or judge each other as wrong. It may not hurt any body else but it sure makes one unhappy. What you are, who you are, male, female, young, old, rich, poor, white, black, yellow, brown, gay, straight or what ever, we should all take pride and celebrate our life because we all are working for a spiritual entity residing inside us.

For instance you are an orange, you wake up early in the morning and put a lot of efforts in daily living. You do best early in the day and go to bed early, because you know there is a big day ahead of you. If you are an apple you don’t like getting up early in the morning, since you sleep in, you can go on till mid night with lot of energy, you do best later in the day, so there is nothing wrong with being an apple or an orange, but when you start to judge or act the other way, its only you who suffers. Say you are an orange and you start to compare that an apple does not wake up in the morning he/she must be lazy, or an apple hanging out with orange, thinking why he/she is fading away it’s not even mid night yet. Either way it is you, who is trying to get an apple juice out of an orange or the other way around. We spend most of our life saying, well, “that is the way it is”. To me it does not have to be, “that is the way it is”. If you are an orange be an orange or if you are an apple, then be one. If you don’t like waking up early get an evening job, and hang out with the apples at night, just don’t judge each other for the flaws, because it’s you who suffers or benefits by living with or without judgment.

If you pray all the time and think that the one who does not pray like you they are lazy and not worshiping the God they way you do, before judging the others remember that they may be praying practically and doing good for the humanity helping the others more than you. Maybe some one too busy making some medicine which can help a lot of people live so they can help a whole lot of other people to live thus more useful to God than you and your prayers. Being helpful to humanity is a spiritual prayers and in spiritual sense, praying for self security, control the uncontrollable and financial well being are material prayers.

If you have a big ego you will always feel your way is the right way because you feel knowledge has been completed for you, so you judge and literally put other people in your shoes instead of fitting your self in to others. Human being has been plagued and blessed with ego since beginning and it is all because of the sense of belonging to a group.

If you look at the growth and the pit falls of the human societies, you will find the ego playing a big role. Individuals regardless of the mortality putting more efforts to get ahead, to feel secure and important, and becoming important is driven by many things including ego. Happiness and contentment or not, life goes on  just to end, yet it does not have to be that way. You don’t have to live in the mode where you rob your own happiness and contentment of life.

If you feel that your belonging group is right in everything it preaches or does, you will keep doing whatever you have been exposed to, regardless of your personal happiness. It’s  especially crucial for you to understand that happiness is the most important thing for you to accumulate along the way, and then comes life after death. If life after death is first for you it is because of the group politics of your belonging group. It has nothing to do with the spirituality because God put you on the face of the earth as a living being for a reason of reciprocation, which means you do God’s work to fulfill the prayers of others and at the same time, you get to enjoy the bounties of life as well. If you choose not to, you have to know the reasons of your actions, you will  always find that, out of control sense of belonging is behind your every action even committing spiritual crimes.   

The governments of belonging groups and the religions are really happy when we live frugally and conservatively, because they get more power and even resources. If an individual works hard and lives for the next life he/she will be a good worker bee, use, less, and even leave behind, so the resources can be used for the others. If lots of people are doing that the humanity will benefit and prosper collectively but it is not true as human beings collectively we even rob other groups of their resources.  Our history shows and speaks loud and clear. These days Canadian government is finally coming around to share the wealth with the indigenous groups.

It’s great that as an individual we sacrifice for our belonging groups but it is greater if we start to look into sacrificing our individual resources for the whole humanity. Some of us, or most of us would agree to do more for our belonging groups even by force like taxes but the problem is the injustice for the individual. If the individual is not happy, it’s not just the way it is, it’s individual’s responsibility to look after all the departments of life, doing good for others and at the same time for self as well.

Self less life is great if you are very spiritual and know all about ego, but if you are doing all that to satisfy your ego. First if all God would not be pleased because you are an egotistic being and you would not get what you expected to get from God, then you, your self have lived this life with inner unhappiness. God can easily say that you were given a chance to use your free will to do the justice to all including your self.

Free will brings the responsibilities to learn more about life, whether it’s individual or collective. When collective life is more power full for you, you have ego to hurt your self as an individual and at the same time free will to help you. Free will makes us responsible for our actions and unhappiness, so we have to know more about our selves, knowing whether you are an apple or an orange can help, always remember that living in constant inner clash and deprivation is a choice. You have been created as  a human being,  not as an angel, so it is important to know about the self and social expectations.

Always remember, you as a living human being are doing God’s physical work, thus you are above the angles because you do good by choice and angles don’t have a choice. Thus respect yourself, recognize and understand your placing in the larger picture, don’t let your politics of belonging group disrespect and make you inferior. If everyone in your belonging group is banging their heads to the point that they are bleeding, you can still think that they are wrong regardless of their numbers. All you have to do is to make some sense and ask the logical reasons, if you disagree you don’t have to be a follower because you are created as an independent entity and yet with the free will. Learn about the reasons of free will to evolve to the next level and belong to the humanity instead of a belonging group.
