As we grow up we become sort of an individual who gets a masters degree from the data installed by our belonging groups. Still regardless of all the installed data each and every single one of us is able to think individually to influences our personal life. Writing theses independently, sort of like a PhD. Your research put things together in your personally virtual or spiritual world from within so you can come up with your own decisions to live your mortal life. Unfortunately regardless of these abilities not every one reaches to that individual thinking level because of the belonging group’s political influences. Our governing authorities or power brokers like our religions dictate how an individual should think and even live within their influential perimeters. Whether they are governing authorities or religious preachers they have to promote individual insignificance to keep themselves relevant.. They want individual to feel insecure and seek shelter under the wings of belonging group, stay attached and carry on with their belonging group’s political agendas. Individuals are told that other groups are out to get us, are the bad boggy mans and are ready to harm our individual so the individual should be loyal to the group. Looking at our history it is hard to deny the experience related behaviors. In an insecure environment it is hard for the individual to reach a PhD level so most of the people stay stuck at the masters degree level and speak from and act within the boundaries of their installed knowledge or data. Which keeps them from seeing the harms done to them from the belonging group itself yet the outside boggy man still lurks in their mind because of the propaganda.
Our real and personal education starts with us, individually assuming our CEO responsibilities and by putting our personal sense of justice to work. Simply by putting ourselves in other’s shoes or by putting ourselves on the receiving end of our own group inspired actions. If we all personally start to think about, not doing to others what we don’t like done to us or to our loved ones, that alone would be thinking spiritually. Interestingly that would be the hardest thing to do for a master degree holder because their knowledge is exclusively consisted of installed data. Our ability of writing theses is there for us all, each and every single one of us has to explore and dig within for personal abilities of being a spiritual entity. Our atom of autonomy related free will, compassion and personal sense of justice has been ingrained within us from before our birth but not everyone of us can access or reach there. It is all because of being brain washed by the politics of sense of belonging. Regardless of age we individually are capable and can understand that. Greta Thunberg a child climate change activist is a good example to talk about. Even as a child she speaks her mind regardless of very loud and influential climate change deniers so THINK FOR GOD SAKE WHAT YOU PERSONALLY ARE? AS A HUMAN BEING YOU CARRY AN EVOLVING POTENTIAL WITHIN YET YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW AND LET YOUR GROUPS THINK FOR YOU. Just look at your personal abilities, you simply can’t be a herd or politically programed being, because you yourself have been created as a mini God. You are a lot more than what you are taught to believe and feel you are a lot more than a physical entity so explore your spiritual self if you really like to know who you really are?
What if God would start to ask direct questions to you personally, I would believe God will most certainly ask what is more important to you? Bowing down to God or help the needy? While you are able and can help others in need but you prefer or choose to go for prayers because you have been preached about that or you feel insignificant, irrelevant and helpless yourself. You choose to show up and gather together with like minded people to draw some energy from the belonging group but neglect personal responsibilities of reciprocation and practical help for the needy. Who in reality and literally praying to God but have no ability to meet their needs regardless of trying. What would banging heads to ground, to the wall, kneeling or intentionally staying hungry for a day or two in the name of God mean? While people around you literally don’t have food to live. Shouldn’t you be asking this questionable behavior of worshiping? Isn’t it political? Whether it is traditional, customary, politically ritualistic or questionably spiritual it is your job to reciprocate for the God given oxygen and functioning body which you are living in. As an evolved human individual its your job to understand all that and your personal standing in larger scheme of life, before acting and defending your belonging group’s political agendas.
God is almighty and is a spiritual entity with no physical needs of ass kissing to stroke Godly ego like a physically insecure human individual does, so Godly desires would be for us to help each other to fulfill someone’s prayers who is seeking God for help. It sounds like a bold statement but I just could not find any other words to soften it down. Why do we believe our life is for the after life while people die of starvation in our living years? We are suppose to be God’s work horses to fulfill people’s prayers physically. Buttering up God in front of others but in private committing spiritual crimes is not the way God works. People talk about God is watching us all, ever wonder how does that work? It works because you yourself are the physical part of that spiritual entity so if you are alive you are the spy from within. Your spiritual jewelry is not only an example but is a proof of your spiritual side you have brought along from before your physical birth. Your physicality is needed by God and is the real wisdom and purpose of your life so you can be physically helpful or relevant to those who are in need. It is our duty to reciprocate, focus on practical prayers and be helpful to others. That is to be in a position with equal footing, relevance, importance and significance without the feelings of guilt. You can not only get your self-esteem as an individual but you can spiritually reach that level to be close to God and be fulfilled spiritually. Remember its all about your individual spirituality and it has nothing to do with political side of your belonging religion or group.
You can have religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules but they all belong to the political side of religions and yes even going for the prayers to Mosque, Church or wherever people get together is political. Real spirituality is where the needy is asking God for help even in the quite of their homes. Majestic buildings of religious monuments are made from the money which could have been used for feeding the needs of people. People getting together is a sign of old style political system of strength in numbers. This actually is a sign of group insecurity as well because they seek more individuals to be strong as a group. Clearly they promote group strength but that would always be based on individual’s inferiority complexes to join. Promotion of group politics has been and still is living in past because they have been and still are perpetually promoting individual’s weakness.
Spirituality sets you free because its an A political system just like justice system with nothing but the truth. It makes clear sense to believe, and believe in one and only one spiritual God regardless of all of our colors, races, genders, nations or religions. With direct connection to God individual can reach the level of spirituality where they can see all human individuals as God’s work horses including themselves. All fears and insecurity related inferiority subsides or completely disappears if you personally start to see God in others and within. Which removes competition of us verses others political system founded on our sense of belonging to our groups. Self-esteem rises and sense of serene personal satisfaction becomes a part of our daily individual life. You are spiritual or not, it is highly personal because its between God and you individually so its not a group thing. That has the potential to make the individual spiritual regardless of belief system. Religion or not spirituality is universal because it can be found in humanity all over the world regardless of belief system. That means it should not be dictated or considered as a religious thing exclusively. We personally and individually should have spirituality based solid rules for ourselves and as groups as well. Equal human rights, anti racism, anti gender bias, anti prejudice and discrimination policies should be the general part of humanity altogether.
When you go to mosque, church, temple, synagogue or any other worshiping place and get together with other like minded people, you are not only becoming a part of but are participating in a group activity. Belonging to a group simply is not and can not be an A political activity. Clearly that means this getting together is following a strength in numbers related politics so it is more of a political thing than spiritual. Now ask yourself honestly how much influence does your belonging group has over you?
An individual who is under the spells of politics of belonging would be compelled to go to mosque, church or other worshiping places to follow prescribed traditions, customs, rituals and rules of their respected religions. Interestingly if you look beyond spiritual intentions of the individual this getting together points towards politics of belonging to certain group and that simply is political. A spiritual being or spiritually aware individual would be inclined to go where there a real need resides. To me that would be because of their understanding of the reciprocation as a duty and the value of their practical prayers. Meaning they would find real life cases of real life needs instead of building majestic religious monuments among starving populations. Not too long ago there was a news about religion laundering money just like mafia. If you Google European.com you can find an article Top 5 Financial Transgressions committed by the Vatican.
I could not find the name of author so I am going to write as author unknown. I quote. ” The Vatican has always shrouded its financial dealings in mystery, but in the last 100 years, its embroilment in financial scandals has allowed Europe to catch a glimpse of some of the skeletons hiding in its closet. These skeletons have earned the Vatican internationally infamy and have caused conflicts with the EU and number of its member states.” End quote.
Now just look around the world and see the majestic monuments created by the religions its all because they did not spend coming money to solve the poverty and sickness of societies. If money pours in to the religions, it is not to invest in building majestic buildings but it is from the good of the hearts of people who want to be helpful to the needy yet the funds get used by the religions to own the properties to be rich as organizations. Can you find spirituality in all that so called organized business of God especially if you find poverty and sickness all over the world.
You personally may appear to be physically healthy but that can fall like dominoes as you age or are being constantly conflicted from within. In that case politics of belonging is not the one what is going to help you but being spiritual would, so understand one thing clearly spirituality and politics do not mix. Finance well that is an other story of political power and corruption.
If a religion is preaching politics of sense of belonging instead of spirituality it becomes just like another political party seeking powers. It is up to you individually where you stand in the grand scheme of life. God had created you as a CEO with the free will for a reason. If you have lost those reasons you can clean up your personal and individual belief system. Not only you would never have to jump from religion to religion to seek spirituality, you will easily find spirituality within the religion you are born in. Remember spirituality is universal and its directly between individual and God.
If you are spiritually aware and are a capable CEO of your life your belonging group can not pull you with their political strings like a puppet. You would not only know the differences between politics and spirituality you would hold your spiritual jewelry like compassion, love and personal sense of justice above political belonging. It is very easy to lose personal sense of justice for an insecure or group oriented individual to become a prejudiced and discriminatory being. Which will take them against the will of the miracle sitting within everyone of us. Going against our own atom of autonomy can put our belief system in a pickle just like these days with the popularity of equal human rights religions are looking like a prejudicial and discriminatory bad guise because they commit ultimate crimes of killing each other yet in the name of God. Being in conflict from within has serious consequences especially for a mortal being like us. If you are not able to connect the dots you would be left open to not only losing inner peace you would be susceptible to stress related physical, emotional, mental and spiritual illnesses as well. Being a CEO who knows their mortal nature as well we all should be aware of our reasons why we all have been blessed with free will.
If we are responsible for our actions, why do we gladly let our groups use us like puppets? Personally I think it is because of all the brain washing we have gone through in our early and tender years. Being irrelevant has been preached to us right from the get go which made king a king and governing people as superiors to the ordinary individual. For thousands of years we have been exposed to bigger power than all of us yet no one told us that we are the engine of the whole machine and even a machine ourselves. We have been taught we are part of a group, not a part of humanity, we are taught we are useless, irrelevant and even are born sinners. Our self-esteem has been robbed and we have learned that we are not worth to be connected to God directly. Yet God does not need a political group but instead a spiritual individual to get Godly work done physically.
Our physical reality is that we are the thread what God is made of or we are physical cell what gives life to spirituality. On the other hand our fulfillment matters or at least should matter to us all because of our mortal nature. Without spiritually fulfilling life a mortal life can be meaningless so we all should look at our religions critically. If your religion is not able to fulfill you spiritually that does not mean there is something wrong with that religion and other would be better. Instead there is something wrong for you to have an out of control sense of belonging which can make you not only cross spiritual lines for the politics of belonging. It is able to even convince you to commit spiritual crimes in the name of your religion or I should say belonging group. That way regardless of your mortality you may be good for your belonging group but you did not or could not stand in your own corner for you just because you did not recognize yourself. If you could not help yourself in your living years you did not value or understood the importance of your atom of autonomy and related free will. You did not understand reciprocation that means you did not really understand the reasons of your life, you did not understand yourself and even God other than what your belonging group had taught you. Here are thirty three questions you can ask yourself to understand how far you have been politically influenced.
1) Do you believe we are at the level of genetically programed ants and bees when it comes to using free will?
2) Since we don’t have umbilical cord stuck with us should we metaphorically stay stuck with our belonging groups ideology?
3) Do you think God fits in your personal life? If yes how and why?
4) Do you think religions are exclusive path to spirituality and God?
5) Do you believe as a human being with free will we all are a capable CEO of our lives?
6) People always talk about the government, other than the employees have you ever seen the government physically?
7) How long do you think you are going to live, if you are aware of your mortality should you be fearful of undeniable death?
8) What is more important to you, your living years or the scenarios of after death you have been taught to believe?
9) What is worse burning in metaphoric hell after death or living in agony in living years?
10) Foot prints you are following, how sure are you about them being the right path to God and spiritually correct?
11) How strongly do you believe in what is beyond the cliff of mortality and why?
12) Do you believe a baby can be a born sinner and responsible for being born without the wedlock or should be punished for it?
13) Would you question if your racism, religion or nationalism leads you to become a racist, prejudicial and discriminatory individual if not why not?
14) Do you think it is okay to become prejudicial and discriminatory being when it comes to the politics of belonging group?
15) Do you believe in equal human rights, especially when politics of sense of belonging is pulling you for loyalties to your group?
16) Do you believe in equal human rights, if yes why, what is your logical explanation for it?
17) Do you have personal sense of justice or your politics of belonging over rides everything what you think is right or wrong?
18) Would you like to be on the receiving end of your actions, especially when it comes to your religion related prejudicial and discriminatory behaviors?
19) Do you think God is a discriminatory or prejudicial entity as religions preach God is on their side exclusively?
20) Do you believe God created human beings or human beings created God for control related purposes and what came first just like chicken came first of the egg?
21) How do think God and Devil really work in human societies to be relevant, can they work without the physical help of human individual?
22) What is more important to you, religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules or practical prayers like really helping someone in need.
23) What do you know about reciprocation, should it be just an optional thing or a duty in return for free oxygen, a functioning body and all other blessings of our life?
24) What do you really think about paying taxes and what are taxes anyway?
25) Why do you pray, do you believe in your hard work, and are your desires bigger and higher than the efforts you put in your life?
26) If your race, nation or religion calls for you to sacrifice or commit spiritual crimes in the name of your belonging group, can you judge and say no to it?
27) Killing an innocent is a spiritual crime and is a physical reality, would you commit a physical crime over your unknown realities like God and why what is your driving force behind your actions?
28) Who would you choose and why, if you have to pick between your lover, your child, your parent or even what other people would think about you?
29) Do you believe in living in the era you are born in or you believe in following thousands of years old traditions, customs, rituals and rules?
30) What are the chances of humanity being destroyed by the natural disaster like predicted in holy books or man made disaster like chemical or nuclear weapons?
31) Do you believe we bring our spiritual jewelry like personal sense of justice, compassion and love from before birth or are we taught by our belonging groups? If we are taught then why chimps can’t learn like us after all they are genetically closest to us?
32) Does your personal sense of justice gets over ridden by the politics of your sense of belonging to your group and why?
33) Do you believe that you are better than others just because you belong to certain race, gender, nation, religion or their sects if yes why?
More questions will arise as you personally develop yourself spiritually for instance how much control a human being has in their day today life or how our hard work can make us grow smarter and build muscles regardless of our genetics etc?
These questions are there for you to think and educate yourself spiritually not religiously because spirituality is universal like justice and religions if they preach prejudice and discrimination are political groups using God politically to gain political powers over you. I believe if you are born into any religion or even in non religious family you don’t have to change into being religious but you have to put efforts into being a decent human being who believes in equal human rights and respects others just like self or being who they are. Believe in equal human rights to live and let live believe and let believe instead of thinking our belonging groups are always right. No one has to change their belief system they are born into but we all have to understand politics of our belonging groups, if we really want a world peace. If your religion preaches for you to be a good person but only for your belonging group or it says you are better than others just because of you being part of that particular religion. It is preaching you to become a prejudicial and discriminatory individual so it is your personal and individual responsibility to choose spirituality over the politics of group. Remember if they are preaching that, they actually are making even God a prejudicial and discriminatory entity as well. If you look at God as an entity for some but not for all what does it really mean to you? Regardless of how strong a group is, it still is a political entity. Try to come to terms with it even if you fail in the beginning just try to understand because that is life of being a human being. If we were not evolving it would be a whole different ball game but fortunately we are evolving. We solve and figure out one problem but it opens several different doors for us to learn more so claiming our knowledge completion would be an egotistic or ignorance related claim.
Our trouble is not that we have a potential to evolve, our trouble is that it does not have a cap on it. Yet all our groups try to lock us in a pond with boundaries. Even as an individual we are like an ocean and space all rolled up in one never mind the pond. How are we going to be locked in the boundaries of knowledge of a political group. As we learn more we learn that there is always more to learn until this never ending quest hits the wall of our individual mortality. We are confused because, regardless of our physical in capabilities we mentally carry on thinking about our Godly control of our life and even genetically pass it on to our coming generations. Most of the learning an individual accumulates may be from schooling and life experiences but that thinking individual the PhD is the one who breaks down the barriers of education or accepted truths by the societies we belong to.
If we all think, it would not be normal because we are not a spiritual entity exclusively. We are a physical creature with mortal nature as well so just like other creatures we have dominating characteristics of alpha and beta. If you are not able to learn about your nature you may struggle in understanding the causes of your problems. From relating with others to leading and being lead in social settings to personal relationships to living in a society where there is a justice system related rules need to be followed can become personal problems. Which can create a constantly irritating and stressful life, especially not a good place to be for a mortal being. Understanding all that and having an intellectual conversation within yourself while keeping your mortal nature in front can put things in perspectives to make you rationally spiritual.
Politics of your sense of belonging has the potential to kill your spirituality related personal sense of justice and potentially turn you into a prejudicial and discriminatory being. Politics of belonging in every human community is a real dead dog of our perpetual disputes. If you are for world peace like me understand the cause and eliminate or remove prejudice and discrimination and see what happens. Equal human rights are gathering strength in all over the world because deep inside individually we all want to live in peace. Logically we are willing to give if we can receive equal human rights in return. Even our thousands of year old lingering disputes can fall like dominoes if we individually can understand the politics of our belonging.
Up till now we did not even ask for equal human individual rights because we were not even aware of that. Our history shows that we have always asked group rights from each other because no one cared for the individual anyway. It has been and in most cases it still is a common fact that nothing changes unless groups demanded and fought for their rights. From nations to races to gender sexuality to religious beliefs, like minded people had to get together to put pressure to gain rights but first of all why do we have to ask and fight for group rights second it keeps us in the same limbo because there could be a group within the group asking for rights and so on. The prejudice and discrimination related disputes would still exist and things would never change for the individual.
If a Jewish person is equal to Palestinian and they both agree to give each other equal human rights or a Kashmirs Muslim and Hindu agree to give each other equal human rights territorial disputes may become a thing of past but humanity did not, does not and would not change unless we start right from the bottom up. For an example if you look at the western societies they are a jambalaya or a mixture of people from all over the world who have come to live together and strengthen these societies just because they are accepted as who they are and the secret of their success is the equal human rights given to them as citizens. If Hindu, Sikh, Muslims, Black, White, Chines regardless of their sexual orientation can live together in one area of the world why can’t they live in the other? Rules of equal human rights should be adopted by all governing authorities but I guess we are still in the process of evolution and our politics of sense of belonging is not completely understood equally in all human societies. If that understanding is there no one has to live separately or kill each other for who they are or born as.
If you look at the glob there are no physical lines created by God for the nations, yet politically it is divided and is constantly being divided in the name of peace. If our understanding of equal human rights can help us all cross our lines of color, race, gender, nations and our religion. If we all can learn to live together in the same boundaries of western nations why can’t it be done across the world. Our trouble is our prejudice and discrimination at our individual level and our solution to this problem is equal human rights still at our individual level. Make changes at the individual level groups will have to change.
Problems faced by the humanity are deeply connected to the politics of loyalties to our belonging to our groups before humanity. Since it has been that way it does not mean it should stay that way. After all we are an evolving entity we should know that we have to make progress. Our sense of belonging to our groups is an individual’s identity crisis which is not only for the individual but for the community as well because it starts at home in every house hold. Our first education starts with color, gender, nation and religion. We all try to wrap our children with religious traditions, customs, rituals and rules then we teach them about our nationality. As the child grows they learn about the community as well so the identities over identity get wrapped on from fist name to middle name to last name to nationality and religion. We keep burying our simple identity of being a human being deeper and deeper until we get lost into the politics of sense of belonging and become a puppet. Then we are taught we are better than others listening to that would be our first exposure to prejudice and discrimination. Since we learned that in our tender years we take it to the heart because it is not only coming from our parents but all our authority figures including nation and religion as well. It would be very hard to undo that brain washing for the ordinary individual who is not yet spiritually developed. So we are conditioned with prejudice and discrimination before we are installed any other education and especially before we are exposed to other groups of people. In western nations all children are exposed to others with equal human rights so they learn to tolerate better than other nations. In spite of all that some parents are still able to teach their children prejudice and discrimination, so the problem still persist but not at the scale of other nations like Israel and India. Group rights are the cause of prejudice and discrimination so disputes would persist unless everyone and I mean every single one individual is treated as equal.
An other reason for all this is our programing of competition philosophy which seems innocent but it does connect us with prejudice and discrimination especially when it passes from individuals to groups.
All our present problems like global warming, infectious diseases and internet related crimes point towards the need for us to evolve further especially collectively as groups so humanity can work together to survive the storms of changes. Otherwise humanity can implode because of our imbalanced progress. We have chemical and nuclear weapons with emotionally charged nationalism and religiously extremist populations around the world. We are not living in the era of swords, spears, bow and arrows. Just imagine security walls or forts of the past would save you from infectious disease or nuclear radiation. We have come long way from all that so we should learn to leave it all behind as well and stop thinking about past ways are still better way to live today, remember where we are today is not the same so we need to know what is needed for today’s humanity.
In present our disputes are not related to our color, race, nation or religions but they are founded on our two major problems. Yes if you start to dig into our cause you will find nothing but prejudice and discrimination. They give birth to our racism, gender bias, nationalism, and religious disputes. If our foundational problem is prejudice and discrimination why don’t we start to work against it at home? Remember there is a saying. ” If the trunk of the tree is green you can bend it whichever way you want to, but after that forget it. It would break but not bend.” Work needs to be done in the beginning of life so our coming generations can learn to live and let live.
Our problems start with our so called identities of everything else but being a human being. Why do we have to hide behind our political identities? It is all about the politics of sense of belonging, and individual feeling insecure from within. If the individual is spiritually aware sense of insecurity changes from within. Our personal sense of justice is unleashed which is actually helping us in adopting equal human rights. If we have equal human rights in every national constitution and is a rule of every religion we can treat everyone equally without biased. Then and only then we are going to over come prejudice and discrimination. How long would it take? Well we are a work in progress, things are happening but we are still playing foots y with racism even in America regardless of its being the most advanced beacon of democracy. It is all because we are wrapped up with our politically given identities and we can’t reach to our real identity of being an evolving human being. Yes under all the layers a human lives in the body regardless of how it looks. Unfortunately we can’t get there because we undermine our spiritual side which separates us from other creatures so we work like a worker bee or fight like a warrior ant in the name of our belonging groups. We disregard our genetic superiority and carry on as if we are just a creature without the expectations of a human being. We need to follow our nature which is telling us to evolve continuously with balance but its not happening because spiritually we are lagging. Technologically and politically we are far ahead of other creatures but still killing each other and even the innocent ones all in the name of sense of belonging to our groups.
We go back and forth but are still making some progress in acquiring equal human rights. From Brexit to American first are clear sign of struggle even in the best of humanity has to offer. Politics of sense of belonging has been and still is very powerful force to deal with especially for the individual who gets influenced at the hormones levels. Americans and British have been playing a leading role in spreading equal human rights in the world yet still suffering from the prejudice and discrimination related problems at home. As we evolve we should be able to make not only amendments in our constitutions we should be able to look at our religious rules and rituals critically as well. For instance you can’t penalize a child who is born out of wedlock or you can’t discriminate against sexual orientation especially if it is related with genetics. If some one is born in certain color, race, gender, nation or religion that is not their fault and blaming and punishing some one who had no control on their birth they are logically innocent. If a religion is punishing innocents it is against spirituality period. If you would not want to be on the receiving end of your actions you are committing a spiritual crime so before throwing a stone at someone think about the glass house you live in.
If this is an era of equal human rights humanity has to work harder because these rights are literally bringing humanity closer to spirituality. Injustice is done in the name of nations and religions but for political reasons and remember when politics comes in, spirituality and justice both take a hike. Since we are better than worker bees and warrior ants we need to evolve from this difficult time. You can’t go back to being prejudice and discriminatory especially if you know they are the cause of our disputes. It would not be evolution or progress, it would be regression regardless of the education level of the individual, nation or religion. There always will be a problem for equal human rights until we clean up our constitutions and religions from prejudice and discrimination. Our politically installed identities need to be dealt with in order to fix individual and collective prejudice and discrimination. If we are still stuck into being better than others yet just because of belonging to our groups we all have the need for some soul searching both individually and collectively.
Changing the core messages of politics of belonging to groups is not going to be an easy task for humanity. It may take generations to achieve that but still it can be done because most of us would be willing especially at the individual level but still one would have to be willing to give if they receive.
Our religions have been and are good example of unity and division simultaneously because they are both spiritual and political at the same time. Major religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism all believe in the same God yet they have been and are still killing each other after thousands of years yet with passion. If you question why answer can’t be spirituality so it has to be the politics of sense of belonging to their respected groups. What does it really mean today? With equal human rights things should change but unfortunately politics of sense of belonging has its roots deep into the hormone levels of the individual. Would it be difficult? For sure but humanity has been dealing with it in our justice systems. We can’t just go out and commit crimes under the animal instincts we are able to control our desires to follow the law and order of the societies wherever we live.
These major religions don’t worship sun, fire or other animals as God but they lose out spiritually when it comes to the politics of belonging. Islam is relatively newer and closest to the democracy and equal human rights because if you look at their prayers you can clearly see equality. If you come late your head is going to be in the feet of the person in front line regardless of your status. I believe Islam spread fast in India because India had cast system which promotes the extreme prejudice and discrimination to the point that you can’t even touch higher cast individual. If you start to look at religions critically and simply remove politics of belonging you will find spirituality which I believe is and should be the main essence of humanity.
Unfortunately we are not evolved enough yet to be able to grasp spirituality with higher percentage than vastly promoted, easily understood, chemically influenced politics of our sense of belonging. Politics exclusively nurtures our physical side so an ordinary individual is more of a group oriented than being spiritually inspired who could use personal sense of justice. Being under the influences of hormones makes us act more like a physical entity instead of being spiritual. Most other creatures act wildly because of specifically timed hormonal influences so their behavior is expected and accepted. For us human beings its a whole different ball game we individually have to restraint our animal urges to be a human being. We don’t only have our society to point out that our animal behavior is below us, we have court systems set up with different kind of punishments as well.
Recent event in America was an example of physically inspired crowd, because our politicians know that they can touch people at that level so they become less aware of spiritual side of themselves. In the end of the day as human beings we personally and individually are responsible for our actions. Hormonal whims or not if you are grown up your actions would be judged by the respected justice system. If you were spiritually aware you would put yourself on the receiving end of your actions prior to your action so you can judge what is right. It is our personal and individual responsibility or I should say duty to seek that spiritual awareness. Since it gives individual a strength and relevancy, politicians of our belonging groups would work against individual awareness. They make sure that an individual is made to believe that they are irrelevant, insignificant and are even a born sinner. Being brain washed and blindly following individual would believe that their salvation is in being a part of the group yet the real story is that whole group is made of the individuals. If each and every individual becomes spiritually aware group comes crashing down and I mean literally. Without the individual’s physicality every story of religion, nationalism or any belonging group falls apart. To the point that they become a haunted house with no one to scare, a ghost town with no value, a lily in the forest pond, all pretty but no one to appreciate or admire the beauty, or a fabric without the thread, which it is made of. How many more examples would you need to be convinced that as an individual we are crucial part of the group, nation, religion and even God. I think politics of belonging to our groups has been able to brain wash us to the point that we can’t even think rationally so we are unable to make sense of it all. We believe in God but we don’t believe in ourselves individually just because we have sold our soul to our belonging groups. We have become free but a useful idiot or simply a puppet yet with pride. Remember God, Devil, Big brother or all groups can’t function physically until a human individual lends them their hand. A police officer shoots to kill in the name of Big brother same goes with our good and bad they can’t be significant unless they take a physical form with the help of an individual. In the nut shell without human beings there is no physical humanity, God. Big brother nation or religion. If as an individual we learn our value with the understanding of mortality all kind of groups can be brought down to their knees because they all stand on the foundation of a human individual’s physicality.
Now ask yourself but in private, how much political influence do you carry from your belonging group? How much spiritual strength do you think you have? Can you question your belonging group’s spiritual crimes against innocents? If your loyalties are able to inhibit you from even questioning, you got some work to do because times are changing and changing fast. If you don’t care you could be labeled as racist, bigot, backward, prejudicial and discriminatory being. In the era of equal human rights all these titles are not vary flattering or cool so sooner you come around the better because our evolution is a tide we can’t control. Even pope has to become political to accept these changes after thousands of years of injustice prejudice and discrimination.
