Happy New year to all with the best of happiness, health and success in all areas of life in 2019 and beyond. Dancing bottle.
I watched a movie that I don’t remember the name of the movie but Clint Eastwood was in it. In one scene he said and I quote,
“Opinions are like an asshole, everyone got one.” Even I don’t remember the movie but the sentence has gotten stuck inside my head so this is the topic of today. It is the first day of 2019 and the first blog of 2019 and it is first for me to use the word “asshole”. I hope it does not offend people.
I am going to start with my opinion and I know everyone has a choice so you don’t have to agree or use my knowledge in your practical life. Unless you feel that your life can use some help to improve the enjoyment and remove some negativity from your temporary journey. If your opinion is that your life is fine the way it is and you don’t need any improvements, just learn to use a little compassion to live with people with different opinions.
If you feel or think you have some kind of stink in your hole, it is you who has to clean it up. Always remember your sense of belonging to a group or their politics, is not only bad for people you discriminate against. Its bad for you personally as well especially if you are a mortal being. Good and bad knowledge will always be around but as a CEO of your life you have to pick and choose what is the right path for you individually. Believing that it is okay to sacrifice your personal happiness and contentment in the name of your belonging group think again because your happiness and contentment is far more important than you think. Your personal life is your gift from God to you directly, if you waste it on politics of racism, prejudice and discrimination it is your loss. If we are unhappy and discontent just because we want to fit in, impress or want to be admired by our belonging group. Remember what is at stake, being mortal a real essence of life is measured by the accumulation of happy moments. In order to be happy at the deep level of your soul you have to have your jewelry. This human jewelry is the food for your spiritual side and if you are starving in that department you are not a good CEO for your personal life project. A belonging group can’t be worried about your stink, they actually promote and encourage it for you to become nose blind so you are not even aware of your stink.
Cleaning up the stink of your negative emotions like hatred as well as your prejudices and discrimination can help to achieve balance in your mortal life. If you don’t care how you live your life, remember your free will is there for a reason. Choosing to belong to a group regardless of their politics of hatred goes against that reason. God created human being to have choice and you still have a choice to understand that there is humanity as a whole is available to belong to. Choosing humanity as a whole can actually help to heal the individual spiritually.
Living a mortal life without wearing human jewelry means life without compassion, empathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, and love. If you don’t have these positive emotions in your mortal life your soul would be starving and that would be by your personal choices. Side effects of a starving soul are unhappiness, unfulfilled and discontent life. Do you really want your group politics to have that kind of clout over you? Do you want their approval bad enough that you yourself rob your own most important things a mortal life should have?
Most problems faced by humanity today, whether they are related with an individual at the individual level of relationships or related to the community at higher level when we think collectively. Our disputes mass versus individual or groups versus other groups are based on our individual and communal opinions. Whether they are related to our nationalism, racism or organized religions, they all end up starting with our assholes. Knowing more about our own assholes is not only important, but it is also crucial as we advance into our own evolution. If we don’t learn to live with each other and ignore the knowledge of others, just because we don’t know enough of our own origins of opinionated views, how will we act?
It is especially essential with the availability of weapons of mass destruction and the individual with out of control sense of belonging sitting on the trigger. If this individual is an opinionated individual who’s opinion is influenced by the sense of belonging to certain group of people, how will they act?. Politically charged individuals can be dangerous because they know that if they commit a spiritual crime in the name of their belonging group, they would be hailed as heroes, yet their actions can be criminal in the court of international law or even spiritual world. It is important for us all as individuals to understand the reasons of why human individual is blessed with the free will. We need to know more about the consequences of our actions and our responsibilities.
We have nuclear weapons to destroyed everything above and beyond the individual and communal relationships, we have broken individuals to dysfunctional families and even communities. To top of all that mortal individual life. Yet we still are willing to sacrifice our personal, individual happiness and contentment over our politically charged opinions.
Communal, national and religious differences are fueled by politics so they are not going to change. The individual has even bigger and urgent responsibilities to join humanity as a whole. Accepted mass opinions have not only been the causes of individual sufferings in the past they still are just as bad for the individual as they were in the distant past. Our progress has not changed us especially in being innocent victims or victims of human rights violations of political wars or religious disputes. You can dress it up or put lipstick on a pig, plain and simple you just can’t hide an ass hole related politics. Religions have tried it by owning God but not only it failed miserably, they also started to commit spiritual crimes against each other yet in the name of God.
If you sense, feel, think or someone tells you that your opinion has a stink of prejudiced and discrimination, don’t be proud of it because pride is one of the kids from an extreme sense of belonging to a group of people along with ego and honor. That clearly means your opinion is not yours exclusively, you have been influenced politically. If you believe in belonging to humanity as a whole your prejudice and discrimination would melt away with the personal sense of justice you already possess. You will not only consider others equal to you but it will make you believe in equal human rights for all because you would be able to see God in all.
Belonging to our groups teach us to disrespect and believe human beings from other groups are enemies. If every group preaches this education to its young ones what does it do to humanity as a whole? If a group has prejudice and discrimination for others, others automatically would have counter prejudice and discrimination. Just look around the world and even in its history, can you find a period of time when humanity was free of assholes related wars or disputes?
Our opinions have been formed for us by our belonging groups and we have been, are and will let it happen until we all as an individual become chief executives officers of our lives. We have been sold fear, insecurities, and vulnerabilities by our own groups so we can follow, join and be used by our authorities for political purposes. The preaching s of securities have always been about the opposing or other groups as the boggy man yet the most hurt and damage is caused to the individual is from their own kind you don’t have to go far just start looking into the crime ratio in all societies.
Every society has its crime rate and most of the time it is not talked about, and usually politicians divert the public opinions to blame opposing or other groups for internal problems. We can’t seem to give others break but our own belonging groups get away literally with murders. What is the cause behind all that? Politics of sense of belonging otherwise a victim of a crime feels the same way whether it is caused by own kind or so-called enemy. We constantly and politically blame each others so our conflicts and wars are perpetually consistent. We can’t evolve to the next level regardless of our advancements in other areas of life.
Can we evolve to take a step into the new paradigm and belong to humanity as a whole? Can we learn to call spade a spade or is it in our DNA to fight and kill each other? Well, it has been happening and still is happening all over the world since the beginning of our awareness. Liberals and moderates always want to progress and advance in all areas of life but conservatives have been fighting back with whatever they got so they can keep the status Quo. They are preaching prejudice and discrimination even with pride, even it has been accepted as a spiritual flaw in humanity.
Using politics of a sense of belonging, by our belonging groups has always been part of our disputes. Throwing guilt trips or threatening to shun or even kill open-minded individuals has been consistent as well. Individual who wants to choose spirituality over religion, who wants to choose humanity as a whole over a belonging group of people have been looked down just because of the differences in opinions.
Life is not only lived in one particular way at any time of civilization by all people, especially in this day and age our opinions are vastly apart. All nations, races, genders, and religions have been, are and always be in need to evolve with time. If you happen to like past and want to keep everything like grand old past you will have to look at present progress with an open mind and learn to accept it as God’s will otherwise you will be unhappy because you have lost control or have been left behind.
Modern life is not like past, we did not have to work hard just to keep our bills paid. There was plenty of time to socialize pray and fast because we did not have that many people competing for the same resources. Today’s world has changed in all areas of life from modern technology, to computerization of everything to medical discoveries even understanding our health and ourselves at a genetic level, we have an understanding of birth control, stem cells, test tube reproduction, and cloning.
If we can’t keep up with all the advances we are simply left behind. If you believe in taking a loss or staying behind for your self it can be fine for you because of your opinion but don’t just automatically think others should be staying with you. Especially you can’t just force others to have to smell like you. If you can smell your prejudice and discrimination try to keep up with the changing world.
Today we have a new religion for humanity and it calls for equal human rights for all. No gender, racial, national, or religious identity is required to join. If you are stuck into religious, or even wars of the sects especially you have to understand equal human rights can’t be spiritually violated. It is this simple, you just can’t do to anyone what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones. If you think it is not spiritual enough for you but an opinion of your politically charged preacher is spiritual, you need to spiritually grow up and smell the political holes to take your responsibilities.
All actions of the individual are personal responsibility because we all come with a free will. Why would God allow the human individual to have a free will? Ask your self if a leaf on the tree can’t move without God’s will why all this progress and advancements? If it was not meant to be by God. Today even human is playing a role in reproduction, stem cell-related healing flying without wings, swimming deep underwater without gills, digging deeper without claws, than clawed creatures. If we have stayed in our past we would still be like other creatures. All the progress and advancements came from the people who took matters into their own hands. Sure there is God’s will because they were able to do all that with the help of oxygen they have inhaled before their actions. Interestingly it is not only God’s work, but the physicality has also been put into it was, is and always be related to living breathing human beings.
There are people who live life in a smaller and comfortable circle, learn to live within a smaller circle is not for human beings because we are designed to evolve. Just look at our physical body if you lift weights you grow bigger muscles, you go to school to stretch your brain become smarter, you adapt to evolve, you get sick your immune system becomes sophisticated. There is nothing in human body which is not subject to evolve. We are designed to have potential so it is our duty to seek that potential and keep passing on to our coming generations. If you try to fence yourself or your coming generations in, block them from evolving you are actually going against God’s will because of your political reasons. Remember I said you will be left behind, just look around and see where do you fit? If you are left behind by the world it is you who is at loss, so don’t play a game of complacency with your coming generations because they will blame you for their shortcomings.
A life lived in smaller circle is mostly for its security, logically, practically and physically there is no security for a mortal being. If you preach to your coming generations to seek security as a purpose of life it is not what God had meant for humanity. We need to live life boldly look at our limiting factors, understand our emotions and keep eyes on today’s modern day war weaponry as well. We just can’t afford to be stuck into our group politics or its given identities anymore. It is time to join humanity as a whole and step into the new paradigm to stop our wars and waste of our resources to invest in our advancement as humanity.
If you like to know what is going on in the world it is in your handheld device you just have to want to look at it. The world is not what it was in the past so living according to today’s standers is not only essential for political reasons it is important for all of us not to be left behind. If your asshole is keeping you from advancements look around and learn where the world is going, where you are and why? In today’s world, there is no room for prejudice and discrimination so question your stink get some deodorant or better yet learn to accept equal human rights in your heart so you can actually find cure for you infection related disease. It is essential for a mortal being to live life pure of negative emotions related injustices for spiritual reasons.
Going too far too fast rips us internally so take your time to evolve give time to others around so they can catch up, be compassionate and understanding of their concerns of security. When you care too much about what goes on beyond personal life it goes against the wisdom of mortality. Being emotionally distant with broader views of life can keep you occupied to the point that you start to look down onto who is living with emotions. At the end of the day whether you live with or without emotions you are just visiting so choosing extreme views to discriminate against others or live a prejudiced life is a lose, lose situation.
Living constantly in an intellect takes emotional fulfillment away so living a mortal life without emotions is robbing oneself is clearly a personal loss. Small moments of happiness are just as important as a mortal life itself, yet we are taught and are personally willing to sacrifice and choose to live our lives beyond our emotions. This is equal to disrespecting mortality, not only that we even look down on the people who think differently than our belonging groups, we lose out on personal fulfillment as well. Our prejudice and discrimination start within the person who buys into everything blindly, what is sold to them by their belonging groups so it needs to be taken care of by the individual as well.
Not looking at long term effects or analyzing personally is personal neglect so it is the individual’s responsibility to behave accordingly. Emotional individual or not, all human beings are designed to be a multitasking entity so not enjoying emotional happiness while caring about worldviews or the other way around are individual tasks and choices. We all should be performing instead of forming extreme opinions and fall victims to our stinking opinions or traits like prejudiced and discrimination.
If you think your opinion makes you prejudiced and discriminating individual against others, you may have a spiritual disorder. The easiest way to cure your disorder is for you to learn to put yourself in the receiving end to feel what kind of feelings people get from your ways of thinking and believing. If we all individually start to do that our belonging groups will have to change their politics as well because the individual is the fuel to their prejudiced fire. If the fuel is not their fire can’t sustain. If as groups we can do that humanity can evolve to take a leap into potential peace.
Instead of looking back and try to avenge each other for the things our ancestors have done to each other, we should say never again to any and all kind of aggression. Our ancestors did the best they could with the best of their knowledge and level of evolution. Today we individually can and are able to judge and relate our disputes and wars to our old ways of governing. I can see if our past related ways of living to imperialism, nationalism and religious extreme and expansion related spiritual crimes. In today’s world if any group of people tramples on anyone’s human rights it should be punishable in the court of international law.
Our opinions have been and are still under influences of politically charged belonging groups and they have literally been trumping racism, prejudiced and discrimination right from the get-go. Ever since we have become aware of self-insecurities and weaknesses we tend to lean towards politics of belonging groups.
By nature, we are spiritually and genetically human beings but our real identity has been lost into our group granted political identities. We have been politically wrapped up with layers of identities, for instance, name, gender, last name, color, nationality, religion and everything in between like father, mother, brother, sisters bank manager, actor, driver, or a pilot etc. If somehow your personal identity has been lost or you feel even your personal opinion has been compromised and you have a stink of prejudice and discrimination against people belonging to other groups. Your best and only solution is to assume your real identity and become a CEO of your life.
A CEO clearly understands, judges and forms an opinion according to spirituality rules one, two and three. One don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones. Second, put yourself in other’s shoes before complying, acting on, or follow through your belonging group’s political will. Third use your free will and sense of justice to guide your actions instead of becoming a puppet. If you still catch yourself trumping about prejudice and discrimination start peeling off your layers of politically influenced identities to finally meet that human being who has been buried within you since the beginning of your life.
If you don’t know anything other than your nationalism and religion, always remember that why you have been blessed individually with oxygen? Why your umbilical cord has been cut? Why do you have a personal sense of justice and above all why do you have the ability to use free will?
If you still feel that you have to act according to your group politics, start to think about how important it is for a mortal being to live life comfortably in their skin. Ask a broken soldier who wants to commit suicide and is a victim of committing unjust actions against innocents in the name of their belonging groups and even in the name of God. Having to fight personal demons constantly is too great price to pay especially if you are a mortal being.
The human being is a strange package of spirituality and physicality so emotional whims and thought through ideas can sometimes clash. If you ignore your inner being who is spiritual and judges your own action to helps you to self regulate. When things come out as inner conflicts or you judge yourself too harshly you may end up with behavior-related problems.
If you start to rob your own happiness and contentment it is just a start of bigger problems to come. If you lose self-value start to worry, it is better to learn and learn fast how to live in a physical body comfortably. Living without awareness of spirituality has its price and that is paid individually by losing happiness, contentment, and satisfaction. If you are a mortal being, losing these things is way too much to sacrifice. Human beings have been given choices for a reason and that reason is what makes everyone a CEO of their lives.
Ask yourself if you really feel like a CEO of your life project? If for some reason you are not, don’t you want to know why not? Remember it is you who has to pay the price. If you think it’s worth paying the price of happiness, contentment, and fulfillment for group security. Think again, for a mortal being there is no and I repeat there is no security for a mortal. If you still want to sell your soul to the Devil and be unhappy and unfulfilled that is your choice and opinion of course.
Let’s look at recent history of the events, for instance, looking at American elections, it seems as if the nation is going through a major shift. Since they are in the middle of it, it is a tug of war between conservatives and liberals. What will happen I am not going into it but what I see is that this trend is not limited to one nation exclusively. From Syria to broken down Russia and Yugoslavia to Brexit to Arabian and European turmoils everything points towards this big change in the world. Every few years of democracy Pakistan has been going through martial law because people just can’t separate state from their religious beliefs. Politically tainted religious activism can be not only a deadly mix for the individual it has the potential to rob the individual of spirituality as well. Conservatism based identity-related prejudice and discrimination has been keeping our world from taking the next leap of evolution.
Humanity has always been going through changes but they were always isolated and limited to certain areas of world. These days things have changed so drastically that even our news is not from the newscasters anymore. Everyone has a cell phone with live video connection directly connected to internet. What does it do? What has it done to the communication industry? Just look around and see it for yourself.
These changes are like an open can of worms and can’t be reversed, they can’t be called good or bad they are just the changes we have to adapt to and move on. Being conservative is not a good thing to be in this day and age of the technical world. It automatically makes you visible to have a prejudiced and discriminating stinking ass hole. Everyone has to adapt to the facts of life today like global warming related climate changes. Today you can’t just say these things are God’s will exclusively or God is mad at us.
As of today’s human beings we just can’t say that, earthquake or storms are God’s punishment to people. We are sophisticated enough to understand that we can’t fool people with our old style religious fear-based politics. It is like you believe in God to the point that you believe even a leaf on the tree can’t move without God’s will but you believe in beheading and chopping hands off over individual crimes. Can you see the disconnection? If a leaf can’t move how can a whole human being commit crimes against humanity?
It is time to call spade a spade, human individual’s importance comes with responsibilities and if you call spiritual crimes committed by them as valor based bravery it is pure politics because it is good for one group of people and bad for the others. If you carry on that path soon you would call all the criminal are innocents if they commit crimes only against others but not against their belonging groups. It is time to reflect on the human individual importance, value, and responsibilities. Discriminating against others for political purpose is not cool, it is downright a spiritual crime especially if you believe that you are a religious and Godly person. If you believe even God is prejudiced and discriminatory like you, you have just committed another spiritual crime.
Like global warming, we need to look at and adapt to our political changes because they are facts of life. No one can close the environmental door or block political changes. Humanity has always been changing, is changing and will always be changing. If you want a proof you don’t have to go far just look into our history you will find a graveyard full of human dynasties, empires, isms, and religions. Whatever is popular today may not carry any value tomorrow so understand things with universal values like spirituality God and humanity as a whole.
If you stay stuck into your group based politics you are not functioning as what God has created you for, you are meant to be an evolving entity with a continuously evolving potential, just think what I said, I am going to say it again, that you have a continuously evolving potential. What does it mean? let’s say your brain expands to adapt by creating more neurons to learn further. As you push you just keep going to learn more and more and there is no end to it. See what it means to have a continuously evolving potential. Where is it taking us? Why do we put hurdles in our own progress? Who are these people who want us to stay in the designated boundaries and Why?.
Discard all these politically tainted religious boundaries to evolve boldly to forge ahead so we can be what God had meant for human to be. If you still think you are an inferior, valueless, worthless sinner you have been brainwashed by an opinion or I should say a politically stinking asshole which wreaks with the smell of prejudice and discrimination. If you want to get rid of your smell take charge become a CEO who has a free will with a personal sense of justice. Don’t do to others what you don’t like done to you or your loved ones especially in the name of God.
