As an individual if you are responsible to create have and sustain relationship with the people around you, including your family members, friends, community, nation and religion you have to automatically come out of the favoritism. That makes you a CEO of your life.
If you are a CEO of your life and are in a community without the human rights you have two choices you can do the best to move out because you are aware of the equal human rights thus sooner or later you can get in trouble with the authorities or the people around, or you can become a promoter of the equal human rights, so one day we all can live in the world with the equal human rights. Mississippi religious rights are working against the equal human rights thus it is a step backward. You can see some religious communities don’t even allow the TV and computer for their younger generations and yes they are right in the middle of the North America. It is hard to believe but that is the reality. Religions use force to control and conform thus they automatically become against the equal human rights.
Human populations need political systems for governing not the religions because religious belief system is a belief system which consists of a lot of inconsistencies. The first one is really on the shaky ground not because whether, God exists or not, but it is because of our evolutionary nature, which keeps our knowledge incomplete and constantly changing thus our belief systems like religions and constitutions should not be written in the stone.
The reality is that God has been, is and will always be illusive until we reach our full potential and when we get there we may find out that we are the physical expression of God and God is the one who is making us do good things for the humanity. The thought giver is just another side of the human beings, human individual does not know very much about, because even an atheist is willing to give a helping hand and is capable of being compassionate.
Anyway there is nothing clear about God unless you are an egotistic conservative who feels he/she is better than others just because of being born in a certain religion, nation, gender or color. After all the advancements we have made in every other department of our lives we should have forged ahead in spirituality as well, but it seems to me we are regressing in that department because I believe equal human rights and hands down spiritual. We keep killing the innocents just because they belong to the group we are at war with. As an individual if you think it is a fare game, always remember that your gift of free will is there for you to making choices, if you make a choice to kill an innocent it is a spiritual crime regardless or your political views or religious beliefs.
When it comes to the belief systems, everyone is so trenched, that we can’t get rid of our conflicts yet spiritually we are one organism humanity. These days we keep dividing the human populations in the name of peace, there are over two hundred countries and the conflicting societies are mainly fighting over the belief systems and people keep committing spiritual crimes yet on the name of God.
India was divided because people could not live with the differences, imagine getting killed just because of selling meat. Religious differences have been, are and will always be related with the injustice related politics of the sense of belonging. Like minded people want to have a place where they can live together in peace, but interestingly the proof is in the pudding just look around how many disputes are even in the like minded people.
Humanity, spirituality and believing in one God goes hand in hand but the politics of the sense of belonging to one particular group goes absolutely against all that.
If you say my belonging group should rule the world and everyone should obey, you are not alone and you are under the influences of the sense of belonging to a one particular group. When you put your sense of belonging over and above the humanity, God and spirituality, sure your religion becomes political by robbing you of compassion, forgiveness, sacrifice and love so without these jewels there is no spirituality left in a religion and religion without spirituality got nothing to offer to the individual whom is seeking spiritual growth. Just look around and see what your sense of belonging is robbing out of your belief system, you will see it is all the above.
If you can go and kill innocent children yet intentionally, you are out of the spiritual world and a belief system without the spirituality is a political system. If you are using your religion as politics it is even worse because you are putting God in the foundation of your justice system. Whether God exists or not is not the question, its all about the passion you put into your belief system and that passion should have a com in the beginning so you can be humble, forgiving, sacrificing and loving for the human beings and even for God. If you start to look into the DNA of the God you will find human being in there and if you look at the human critically you will find Godly potential as well.
It is not about the belief system it is all about the spirituality, in spiritual world you can’t use politics and in religions, well the politics of the sense of belonging has tainted all religious belief systems that is why they can’t get along even as a group, you have different sects and then extremists and moderates. Interestingly there are a lot of religious people from different denomination and countries in the western societies, and they get along fine just because of the law and order of equal human rights is over and above the differences of religious beliefs.
Personally I believe no religious belief system should be in the foundation of any justice system and no nation or country should be a religious state because we have to change our laws and orders according to the needs of the changing times. If you claim that your rules are God’s words, you can’t really change the words to do the justice to the evolving individuals, thus sooner or later you will go against the equal human rights.
If you are willing to sacrifice human rights, you personally need to evolve as an individual, to the simple rule of the thumb, don’t do to anyone, what you don’t like getting done to you. Times have changed religions are becoming minorities and shrinking yet internet is spreading the words of new religion of equal human rights, even pope had to bow down to the spiritual pressure of equal human rights so he had to change his tune against the strict rules of Catholic religion.
If you resort to violence, suicide bombing and terrorism its just a sign, that you are fearful of losing control and power or you want the revenge for the emotional love loss, you want the other party to feel the same pain what you have felt. There is nothing wrong having the different opinions but everything is wrong if you start to kill each other over the differences. Logical explanation is if you are learning some thing new everyday and progressing in every other department of your life, you are not using your full brain capacity thus your decisions to resort violence over your belief systems is totally egotistic and flawed. If you claim, that I have to take revenge for my love loss then you should not use your religious belief system as politics.
Are you the one who is giving God a bad name by your choices and if yes, why?
Ask this question to yourself in the dead of the night you will discover that your politics of sense of belonging is to one group of people yet it should be to the whole humanity. Should you belong to a group or to the humanity? logically and genetically one hundred percent for the humanity if you choose your belonging group you need to evolve to be a CEO because you have been blessed with the same free will as all the human beings. If you cross the lines of the belonging group you are already becoming aware of spirituality otherwise you are an agent of a political system.
You can divide the earth all you want and build the walls in the name of peace it would not work because the more groups you create more disputes would erupt, unless we bring the awareness of the equal human rights in the whole humanity our future will always be like our past and present.
Sure it is a tall order because we already have over two hundred countries and several with the chaotic territorial disputes. Religions are not immune to it either they have their sectarian disputes just like the nations, so what is the dead dog of it all? If you think the cause is the lack of spirituality and since the spirituality is usually related with the religions, think again first thing is done to us as babies, is to label us with our identities before even considering as a human being. First of all we are the gender, nationality and religion then human beings. We have been rapped up with the politics of the sense of belonging right from the day one.( Read Dead Dog)
Since you have passed the test of being a human genetically, you have to have a belief system which helps you to believe that we belong to humanity as one entity where every human individual is a crucial part and have equal rights, then and only then we have a chance to evolve peacefully.
Our political systems are flawed for instance lets see from the top down, our United Nation has hundreds of members yet a few hold the veto powers and that is a clear foundation of special treatment, which goes against the justice and can be the cause of disputes yet this whole institution is to resolve the disputes.
My logic against the sense of belonging to a group is founded on the theme of God and humanity as a human body, and we as individuals, are all its cells, so if you belong to your belonging group instead of the whole humanity, you are picking and choosing to be a part of a part of the body. Your legends are with something which is a part not a whole, thus has its limitations. For instance if you want to be a part of the arm, leg, brain, heart or colon it does not make any sense because these parts don’t work on their own, they depend on the functioning of the body as a whole. All the signs are here space station, internet, infectious diseases and global warming they all point towards the order of working together as a whole humanity not dividing or building walls for security. You just can’t be secure from the spreading infectious disease with walls.
Its just like a young person in love with an other cell and just because of the intensity of the emotions he/she can’t see the connection with the whole body, humanity or God.
If you are taught that God or whole humanity is not important but your belonging group is the most important entity. Depending on your personal insecurities, you will buy into it, because after all it is coming from your authority figures. If you look at yourself and related insecurities logically you will discover that your belonging group can’t really protect you from the loss of oxygen, meaning your security is falls. When you belong to other cells instead of the whole body, it is logically a false security because very part of the body depends on the functioning of the whole body, so if you are told you are secure regardless of the functioning of the whole body you have been fed a lie.
Whether you choose a cell because of the strong feelings of the love, belonging group, because of the politics of sense of belonging or security you are in the same vicinity, thus now you have to understand that your belonging group can’t save you. For example if there is a global warming related extreme weather or if your belonging groups need humanity’s help.
The history is full of examples, Bosnian leader whom committed war crimes got forty years, Osama bin laden, Kaddafi or Sadaam Husain are the few name to talk about. If we have a justice system for the whole humanity with the police force to bring everyone to justice for the atrocities done against the humanity, we would not have terror organizations nor we would have the passionate people like Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld. In general ordinary human beings self regulate to follow the law and order but in the situation of injustice all bets are off especially when it comes to groups, nations or religions.
Every day there is a love loss from death of natural causes, or wars there is no control or security for the mortal being so seeking ultimate security by paying the price of personal liberties or committing spiritual crimes in the name of God or nation is not worth it.
If you look at the human individual’s natural life, he/she needs to understand some fundamentals. First thing comes to mind is purely animal, like growling stage over a piece of meat and or an animal marking the territory in jungle. Right or wrong is not the question, but why an animal or even a human being marks its territory? and why the territory has to provide the food and comfort of home? The answer is simple principle and math of control for the future, a human individual’s or any other animal’s life is different because of our awareness of future knowledge or understanding of mortality.
Now let’s say owning a piece of land or the material things is a natural desire, but our mortality and a limited time suggests otherwise. In a temporary life of the human individual or even in any other creature’s life, the consumption is the main thing. It is not what you have during your life time it is what you have consumed during your mortal life. The individual or the creature can have large territory with lots of food and resources, but the consumption is limited and as we age the consumption even drops further. Yet some how human individual is driven to accumulate or in worse case scenario hoard, so why this kind of living is promoted and believed in by the human societies? it will seem natural to do if you feel insecure inside about your future. In the west people would smile if you show your trust in God an not to worry about your future. Everyone believes that everything is done by the individual, the future is created by the individual decisions and there are very successful businesses like insurance and financial advisors, and then the stock market crashes. One of the fundamental is forgotten and that is the oxygen we have no control over and we can’t last without it so everything is not done by the individual alone.
As a mortal, deep inside every body knows that our time will end, so fear of death makes us insecure and we live with insecurity related control. This control related behavior has deep roots in one’s personality, if not understood it can damage the individual in many ways. The most important area is the personal happiness and in a temporary life happiness is and should be treated as a treasure. An individual with less understanding will try to find happiness in controlling, hording, comparing and competing yet the real happiness stays illusive and ironically it is hiding in reciprocation, serving and helping humanity and self.
The levels of evolution are there to understand about, how to live a temporary life. A CEO knows how to balance the consumption of the bounties of life and his/her out put to help others. Life is not just for the others, God or self, it is for all the above and you as a CEO have to balance it all.
Our troubles always have been related to extreme and our half knowledge, for example when we are told to believe in God, we go to extreme and sacrifice every thing for that unknown entity. If we learn God is not fulfilling we go to the other extreme and become totally selfish or we make people so important in our life that we become anxious and depress. Denying self or becoming totally selfish is not the answer it’s in the balance.
Our society will always require of us to do more to help, even our education calls for us to be successful at all cost. This kind of education can create people who would not accept less than 100% success. There is nothing wrong with putting your best efforts in life, but when it comes to reality of mortality we should be a good CEO. If you have a habit of not accepting less than 100% at any time, then either you have it all or nothing. Having it all requires a lot of luck, but most of the human beings don’t get what they want in life. Always rejecting if it is not 100%, can make a lot of folks live this life poorly, unhappily and in discontentment, thus with a potential of mental health issues. Zig Zaging between intellectual and physical living is in order, as a mortal you just can’t choose one or the other. For instance food, sex, and relationships with other human beings have nothing to do with intellect these are the physical realities or facts of a mortal life and for some reason, if you are sacrificing these you are not zig zaging. Living intellectually exclusively is the common theme these days but it has the potential to rob the individual of happiness and contentment so it is your choice how much do you want to sacrifice for your so called success. Always remember the triangle of the health, happiness and success. If you don’t have health you can’t be happy and without the health and happiness success means nothing.
Connect the Dots of Who You Are:
You are always told, be who you are, but do you know how to know who you really are. First thing you need to know is that this life is temporary and you are the one who is responsible to gauge this life with whatever is important to you, but I think a mortal life should be gauged by the happiness and contentment.
Second you manifest what you think and if your thinking is influenced by the strong sense of belonging you can drive your self away from the real picture what aligns your triangle of (happiness health and success).
We are not just the genetics, character, product of circumstances, or social influences, we are all that and more. We are not just floating around by chance or with just the destiny, we come as a fully functioning computer and are not the data of the computer we are the computer runners, with the free will we are the one who is above all.
Ever taken the kids to McDonald’s restaurant, with happy meal kids use to get a paper containing a maze, picture to color and dotted picture with the numbers on the side of the dots. When the kids connect the dots the picture emerges which needs to be colored.
God gave us the dotted picture but did not put the numbers on the side of dots, and with the free will we have to connect the dots the way we want to. With granted free will we become responsible for our lives, thus we need to connect the dots without the influences of the society time and era we are born in or simply the belonging groups.
Having a belief system creates comfort and reduces stress of every day living, so as a CEO it’s our responsibility to understand and care about this life first and then worry about the life after death, if you are told the after life is more important then you personally have to make sense of it. For instance you are more useful to God while you are alive because you are helping God to fulfill the prayers of someone else. If you spend or sacrifice every living moment in the greed of the heaven or life after death, you are putting all the eggs in one basket and gambling because no one has ever come back to tell us the real story of after death.
If you are unhappy in your life, you have to find that dotted picture of you, the one which is not influenced by social trends of your time. Usually when you are influenced you want to be what every body else wants you to be, or you want your self to be approved of others or you want to impress others or you want to be admired by the others. You may think you will be happy if you fit in or are accepted, so the driving force behind all your efforts is the happiness. If happiness is it, then you have to think about your dotted picture. That picture and the free will are your gifts, to help you create comfort and happiness in our temporary life.
For instance if today’s society demands that you should be a doctor, lawyer, a success full sport star, a rock star or a businessman or a woman to be admired, you will put all your efforts to become one, the question is then what? Still happiness is not guaranteed. If you spend all your life trying to find that happiness regardless of success, you are connecting the wrong dots. If you look at the society closely, you will find so many people living with professions other than the popular ones. If a night cleaning job keeps your stress down, makes you money and gives you a relaxed happy life, then that is in your dotted picture. If you are not comfortable then you will be happy doing some thing else, but make sure you don’t let others to influence you, because free will brought the responsibility for you to be happy for your life. If you sacrifice your happiness for the others that is your choice, not God’s dotted picture.
There is a powerful natural intelligence that surrounds us but we don’t understand the logic because we keep on living with the limited yet evolving human intellect. We can override our personal dotted picture with our free will, but is it healthy for us as an individual? You decide.
If the individual is blessed with the gift of free will, that makes himself a mortal God. Since we are all mortal Gods we feel the need to fix everything the way we want it, that makes a whole lot of different brains trying to fix things differently thus causing conflicts. If we are thin, we want to gain weight, if we heavy we want to lose weight, poor wants to get rich and rich wants to get richer, weak wants to get stronger and so on, that is all there just because we can do it.
The main reason is the control, and the control is addicting, so we try to control every thing. Since we are mortal and fragile we should see the limits but the desire to control is over powering so we lose our sense of balance and individually get in trouble.
As a mortal God we have no limits, but as an individual, well every body is different so is the individual balance, and our life’s happiness and contentment depends on our individual balance.
Since we are mortal and are spiritually connected with the immortal God individually, thus we are blessed with the spiritual knowledge as well. Since this knowledge came to so many prophets we have so many different religions accordingly. Sure religion can be a guide to a good path, but as a mortal God we have lot of responsibilities including sorting good or bad for ourselves. The less understood part of this all is that our good and bad changes with time. We use to burn the witches, we bought and sold human beings, killed just because of sexuality today they are all against the law.
There is no religion, ism, manifesto or law in the world worth killing an innocent person. In fact all these orders whether they are man made or God sent, were intended to protect the innocent and weak. Wars can’t be holy if they contain collateral damage of innocent people. If you screen the intentions of the people involved, you will find the revenge for the killed loved ones, loss of property, land, political gain, sense of belonging and sense of freedom. These emotions are related with human nature and should not be mixed with the God and the religion. Since God is pure spirituality there is no mistake, if innocents are killed or hurt in the wars it has nothing to do with God.
To me we should all stand up for justice, and protect the innocents, even the innocent like God, who is blamed as if God is some kind of monster. Ask an innocent individual who is hurt, his/her loved one killed or his/ her home or land is destroyed or taken on the name of God, or justice for one group of people. This kind of justice is a political justice for a specific group, nation or a religion, it is not a spiritual justice or justice for humanity.
It just does not fit any where; in our court systems we let the killer go just because of the reasonable doubt yet kill an innocent on the name of justice to our nation, religion or our own God. No wonder we have a blind folded lady justice so we can mold the justice according to our politics.
We often call God blind, yet at fault is the human beast that is just as clever and cunning as any one can be. Group politics has been trumping all spiritual growth and civilization of the human beings that is why we have such a gap in our technological knowledge and spiritual awareness. Sense of belonging has been fed and sense of freedom has been starved since forever, so the imbalanced individuals are to blame for all the atrocities or spiritual crimes of wars.
Using God for political reasons has been around since the beginning, even this day and age people are still able to do that. Cunning politicians use strategies to fool people and get their political goals. Whether it’s lack of knowledge or the individual’s insecurities either way it hurts the innocents.
We pray to God for more knowledge, but we are held back by our own selves. Our history shows that we have, and been killing each other over some thing we don’t even know. It is the belief, which takes you where ever you are going, if you believe that is good for you, its good, until you enforce it on some body with a threat to believe or die. Imagine finding out that you were wrong, after you have killed some one innocent, living would be a living hell for you, if you have conscience.
Every corner of the glob has people for undetermined time, every country has its story, and we tend to follow the story of past. Glorifying the ancestors of the belonging groups is common. The victories of the wars, ego and pride related stories to inspire the young ones are part of every culture nation and religion. All is great, but if we always live in the past and try to keep our young populations to follow the same path we have been following, how would we progress and appreciate the present. Logically we need to live with full capacity today to make a great past.
We need to learn from the past to make present better, but today we ruin our today because of the past stories. We need to take care of our affairs every day, should the past be that strong that we become the puppets and follow the stories of past without questioning?
The human progress is done by the revolutionaries of their times. Some time they became the story themselves. Just like the revolutionaries, every human has the potential to assess judge and make decision. Potentially each and every one of us is not just the follower of the stories; we are the creators of the stories. The politics of power makes us all feel that we are inferior than we are created, we should be able to look at our past story as a history and rise up to make our decisions without any influences. As an individual we should keep some simple fundamentals in front.
-
Human has growing knowledge thus it is incomplete and with incomplete knowledge, instead of egotistically believing that our knowledge is complete, we should be humble. Interestingly we have been claiming having complete and better than others knowledge yet learning to make new discoveries all along.
-
Human individual has free will to choose and make decisions thus he/she is a CEO, how one lives is a choice or at least should be a choice with equal human rights.
-
Sense of belonging and sense of freedom are both ingrained yet they are opposing senses thus an individual has to be a CEO to create balance.
