Just like understanding the triangles to balance, we need to understand the circles circling. Our individual and personal circle of our mortal life can be easily effected by the larger circles around us.
We are a story within a story of a story, for instance you have a personal story circle worth five bucks, (Read Five bucks). Where you are the main character, or a CEO of your life. You make decisions and choices to live successfully during your living years. This is where triangle of health happiness and success comes to play yet it is related to this personal circle.
Since I am talking about the circles so lets stay with the circles. After you have learned about your personal circle or I should say your tea cup, you would have to learn about the neighboring circles. Where you learn to relate with the people around you, just like your community you can vote for the direction you want your community to go but that is the only power you have. The out come of your vote is not in your control so you will have to come to terms with your limits and understand you have no control on lots of different things in your life. This circle holds your race, gender, nation and religions. They dictate and show their power to let you know that they are more powerful than you. They have the power to punish or shun you, put you in jail or even kill you for disobedience just in the name of control. You have to use your personal politics to learn to live within the boundaries, rules and the law of the land you belong to, regardless of the demands of your personal circle.
Second circle we do the same, even as a communities we try to control the stuff in the third circle. This can create the same frustration for the community what an individual can feel when community does what he/she does not want it do. We need to comply even as communities to create balanced environment to evolve further. I see wild firs and the efforts are put by the communities yet wind can lead to out of control fires.
By accepting the mortality and health related issues we can set the rhythm to evolve without the frustration. You don’t win war against cancer by going to war, you continuously pursue the evolution to get better and use more of the brain power. This rhythmic pursue can help to adopt the evolution one level at a time.
The third circle I am talking about is the circle, where your all powerful second circle is powerless, this is where nature and God reside. Amongst all these complexities you have to really know your politics to spend a mortal life with happiness and contentment because you as an individual depend on the oxygen from the circle.
Our rights and wrongs change not only as an individual, we change as an evolving organism as well meaning we change in the second circle with time as well. The obvious changes and evolution of our societies are well documented except the religious rules but these days even the religions would try to shake off their extreme behaviors. Pope came out and said few things about these changes but we will have to see if they stick to them. Our world has been going back and forth with the governments changes, if we give the powers to the religious people they would like to take us back in the era of the prophets. I would like to see if the other religious leaders come out and preach the human rights over the old rules dating back two thousand years.
As a child we learn something which we don’t agree with, as we become a teenager we think that was stupid and when we become a grown up adult. The rights and wrongs change places.
In exactly the same way our belonging groups can change with evolution. We condemn and believe that the slavery and gay bashing are the crimes now a days. Canada becoming a gay sanctuary for the Russian gays shows the signs of the changes. Our sense of human rights is, over powering the politics of our sense of belonging to our conservative groups. Acceptance of the Syrian refugees, to Omer Kadar case, regardless of social divide, even the discussion about it, is a good example of our evolution. In past it would not even be a topic of discussion.
Evolution is in the core, foundation or in the genes of the human beings, with the wisdom to see or envision the future. The sooner we adopt to the coming changes the better. It is for the individual to know what is the most important thing in a personal mortal life, circle or tea cup. To me personal happiness and contentment should top the agenda. Remember regardless of the circle you are in, it will always come down to your personal happiness and contentment as an individual in your living years.
If the changes happen in your next circle, where you don’t have control, you have to adjust accordingly, in order to live your mortal life with the top goal as happiness and contentment.
If you are unhappy because of the opposing political party had won the election, or you are in the clean up after a natural disaster, it is you who has to adjust to keep going, because of you being a CEO of your life project. The events, situations and circumstances are part of a big project they should be just that, they should not have the power to bring your whole life to screeching halt or break your belief system down. Losing hope just because of an event or a situation is looking at life with the narrow minded and a limited vision of life like it is a department instead of a project.
Knowing the wrong is easier, if you put yourself in the others shoes, rather than demanding others to fit in your shoes. People change gradually so the problem is not the change, it is rather the speed to adopt to the changes from within the individual, whom either don’t want to change at all or want to change everything instantly.
I would rather look at the journey of the humanity where the reality is that we already have come this far, we have a lot to show just look at the people with the cell phone in their hands. Our history shows, constant changes, and the resistance to the changes has always been constant and is a part of our evolution. Yet it has never been able to stop the progress. From no religion to religion, and from one religion to the other, and then from communism to socialism to democracy and then back and forth. Yet there is still a progress to show. Just look around the numbers of moderate believers is growing against the extremists.
If you look at the base of the changes, you will always find an individual’ s imagination, regardless of the size of the change. It always starts from the thoughts of one human individual. Every group is made of the human individuals yet it is there to nurture or destroy the individual’s imagination which creates or destroys the reality. If the reality is not created, the group would lag behind because of the brain drain.
If there is a measuring device we can measure the smarts, strength and the ability to live for self and help the others around.
Say you are standing on the bank or a river and you have to get to the other side, before jumping in and drowning, you have to think, plan and then act on your plan. You can gather some branches, make a raft and row yourself to the other side, sure it is not simple but in the nut shell this is what all about.
If this Godly wisdom, power, energy and the ability to do everything is measured, metaphorically it is worth five bucks for each individual. If the whole community contributes their fiver to build a bridge, everyone in the community can cross the river whenever they want to but here comes the problem, that problem is when the community gets involves things have to run with the rules, and the rules should be equally followed by all community members but with the politics of control everything changes, the fiver takes a back seat because of the metaphoric big brother.
Logically a single individual is weaker than the big family, community, nation or a religion depending on if they get along and work as a unit. One can be very smart and have a lot of resources to hire lot of helping hands to function at a higher level. Either way that smarts still comes from that five bucks.
Fighting infectious diseases like Ebola out break, issues with Global warming, spread of internet or even building of the space station is best functioning or its usefulness is meaningful, if the humanity comes together with five bucks at a time. These days times have changed, infections, and global warming don’t stay in our political boundaries.
An example, a human cell is meaningless on its own but with the right circumstances, it has the power to create a whole and functioning body of the human being with limitless potential. We each have trillions of cells in the body, individually cell may be insignificant but when work together the potential is limitless.
Internal space has its intricate functions of trillions of cells which seems chaotic but we have been learning to survive disease. We have been learning about the external space as well regardless of our control over it. This all points towards the bigger circle which holds our health and death, so trying to control without accepting it creates even more chaotic situation. The stresses of learning our responsibilities points towards the need of having a belief system. A belief system helps to be at peace with mortality. I still believe we need to do everything in our power to evolve further because we have not hit our potential. As human beings if we pursue we achieve, from all the modern technological advancements to medical and genetic breakthroughs don’t come with an attitude that God will save me, so I should pray regardless of my lifestyle. To me the prayers are and should be left until we have done our best. If you are on the other extreme and believe you are the one doing everything you need to know that without the oxygen you are a dead duck so don’t take all the credit. It is not God alone or you alone, everything is done by both of you together, so create balance to accept your responsibilities as a CEO and believe that you are being helped so you can create some inner peace for your mortal life.
Back to the circles, all my knowledge has never been, is, or will be about controlling to reach extreme. It is all to create balance for the individual to live a mortal life with all its difficulties because it is the reality.
I believe most of our mental health or other happiness and contentment robbing problems start when we want to fit the larger circles in our smaller one. If you want to control even Godly events, sooner of later you will run in to a situation where you lose control, and most of our problems start when we feel out of control.
A belief system teaches about these things by saying that God is doing everything and we as human beings have no control what so ever, yet they have the strictest punishments of the human disobedience. I have two problems with this philosophy, one that God’s work is done physically by the human individuals, so he/she can’t be insignificant. Sure we depend on the oxygen to be able to perform the physical work of God. Second it is not that human or God is doing everything separately, it is done with equal efforts, so it is not one or the other or who is doing more, it is the balance because of the individuals’ ability to reciprocate regardless of mortality. Just like our cells do their job to keep us alive, we do that for God.
If you believe God is doing everything then you have to know how things are being done physically, if God is only spiritual. Where and how do you fit the fiver you got from before birth. You have been told that it is not enough so you have to put up with our political agendas. This not only robs the individual from the self-esteem, it makes the individual limited which God had never meant. We are not the drop in the ocean we the ocean in a drop, so any education witch limits and holds back the human individual it is against God’s will, because otherwise logically we would not have the fiver individually.
If you believe that you are limited, you have to look at your education or the data you have been installed with, critically. The potential you carry is related with God himself, not with your politics of sense of belonging as a group. A group makes the individual weak so he/she can be controlled.
If you look at our governing systems, some go too far in dog eat dog philosophy and some try to help the individual to the point that he/she stop seeking his/her potential. The help should be there because I believe if a community wants the individual to follow rules, the individual’s basic rights should be met. No one should go hungry, if a hungry individual breaks the rules it is not the individual’s mistake it is the community’s fault. Sure we need the rules to follow but we should have rules for our groups as well, so they don’t trample on the individual human rights.
As a healthy human being we have rights at the same time responsibilities of reciprocation, not only to God but with our communities as well.
So playing your part is a must, honest living creates inner peace. Using others or the system is like making yourself to be a limited being, whom does not want to reach his/her potential. Reaching and living to our potential is a responsibility we all got, because not only as an individual, but as community and God all our evolution depends on it. If the community is the right one it will encourage it, because it helps the community in the long run. If the community is hindering, the brain drain should happen to that community because regardless of religious beliefs it is against the God’s will to keep the human individual from reaching his/her potential.
