Should one fear God.

 Please ignore the English and stay focus on the content.

Right from the beginning of our social and political awareness, fear based control philosophies have been robbing the human individual his/her peace of mind, physical, emotional and  spiritual health, which in turn robs even the faith in God and humanity as well.

Personally I believe that God’s existence matters with the existence of the human individual, no matter how insignificant he/she appears to be. The reality is a reality, just look at our ghost towns, the buildings, roads, and all the systems to run the town are in tacked but don’t hold any value unless a human individual lives in it, in other words if it is needed it is valuable. God can be useless of being God alone, only human individual puts a value to God because he/she always feels weak and has no control over the mortality thus extreme fear of death which is actually related with the fear of loss of loved ones and material assets .  As I said before God and a ghost town have one thing in common and that is,  they can’t be meaningful without the human beings. 

You can say oh God is the one created everything but I can turn around and say that human  beings put the value to everything, so it would be just an assumption from both angles if we remove or lose the importance of the human individual. Logically everything falls apart without the human individual because there would be no one to assume and argue or even kill each other over those assumptions.  

The education of the individuals under the political influences of the sense of belonging has the power to make the human individual feel valueless, vulnerable, fear full and needy. He/she  has been politically preached and convinced that he/she would be wrong to stand up and understand his/her value, especially if he/she is mortal. Yet, with human individual’s insecurities, there has been a bonanza of control for the ruling authorities.

I believe that human individual has to really understand his/her placing in the triangle, rather than believing strongly and passionately in the fear based education, whether it is coming from the religious authorities or  other governing systems.

First of all, as an individual you are told that God has endless powers, thus can help you when ever you need God, and whenever you compare yourself to  the unlimited, you actually feel even more limited than you are. Yet you are the foundation of God’s physical powers or expression.

As I said this traditional knowledge has been robbing the human individual of his/her value and self-esteem. If the individual whom has self determined that he/she is valueless, the only benefiting people are other people whom are in the business of  politics of power and control, whether it is religion or an ism, so they are not going to preach the individual to become a CEO of his/her life whom can  actually put them into their place if needed.

If you start to look at yourself the way I see it, first of all you will understand and strain out the politics of power, second you will develop some self respect, thus learn to be who you really are, in reality, you are literally an ocean in a drop and a CEO of your life.

As a CEO of your life you will be able to see how important you are in the larger scheme of life and yes whether if you believe in God or not. You will not be, who you are made to believe, you will develop self-esteem to be more productive and useful to God and yourself simultaneously. Your importance shows from this example.

When you see a nicely designed and pretty table cloth, you see a work of art. You are impressed by it, but you are only looking at it, as a finished product. If you start to look at it, how and what it is made of, eventually you will find a very fine weak, thin and easily breakable thread as a building material.

The value of this thread or the building material should not be underestimated. If that material is not there, logically there would not be a table cloth. That table cloth is made of thread and if you pull one thread out it may not make any difference in appearance or the strength of the cloth but if you keep pulling, sooner or later it will start to lose its appearance, beauty and strength and eventually the value as a cloth.

Now if you are the thread and the cloth is God, you can’t just separate the two, and put value on one, but not on the other, so the beauty and the strength of the material is valuable only if both are in the picture. They both depend on each other to be a nicely designed cloth. So should one fear God even God is made of the human beings? This question is for you to personally answer to yourself. Your fear is deeply related with the insecurities and control, you want more than the fiver so you want God to help you. If you can come out of these deeply seeded personal beliefs you will see yourself as a work horse of God. Where God needs you not to fear but be healthy and strong so you can take care of Godly affairs.   

A poem from I read as a boy in Pakistan I would write as author unknown. And I quote

A lily in the pond of a forest cries about its dullness for thousands of years, it is very difficult to find a set of eyes whom can appreciate its beauty.” End Quote.

As a human individual, we need to know that even the existence of God depends on the human individual, thus it is human individual’s spiritual duty to respect life and reproduce, so killing in the name of your religion or any other governing system should be a spiritual crime regardless.

If you believe in the philosophy which does not respect the importance of the thread, I passionately believe that you are influenced by the politics of your sense of belonging to one particular group and you need to look at God, humanity and spirituality rather than the religions and nationalism exclusively.

My logic is simple and straight forward, God is like a ghost town without the human beings, valuable yet useless. As an individual take pride in being the working horse of God, don’t be fearful and bagging, because you are the main source in fulfilling someone’s prayers physically. If you feel inferior as a thread remember cloth’s physical  existence depends on you, so wise up and see the politics behind the traditions and customs related to your religions.

Each human fiver (read five bucks) adds to God’s physical strength, if you tell me that God has more power and strength, I would believe in that, but partially, because of human physicality. If you say that God has more powers than the whole humanity I would have some reservations, because today we are literally saving lives from natural disasters by knowing the paths of storms. I am not saying that God does not protect us and has reasons to destroy us but I am stating that human beings can save and kill with intentions as well. So does God has more powers than humanity? Spiritually may be but physically, even God has to rely on the human beings, because of their fivers.

Today’s new says that in near future we are going to harvest human organs from pigs by genetics advancements. Another advancement where the religious people are going to get bent out of shape in protesting, with their traditional ethics, my question to them would be ask the loved one who has a kid whos life depends on the transplant but the organs are not available.   

Each and everyone of us is carrying that fiver and that fiver is the power of God, whether you believe in God or not. With that power you have already been helped by God and remember, that saying, God helps whom help themselves, so the human is helping him/herself yet at the same time helping God to exist physically.

The reason why God has blessed us all with  that fiver is to reciprocate and serve ourselves as well during our mortal life, with whatever we want. When you want more you have to put your efforts to get more.

Just like you can’t wish your way to build bigger muscle mass, you have to simply work hard for it. Praying has its place but after you have done your share, and that is your hard work. Sure some are lucky to be born in favorable circumstances and others are given an opportunity, but for most of the population, personal efforts are a must.

Why God helps some and not the others is a thing I don’t know, so I put it in my I don’t know basket and carry on living and doing my share of reciprocation in my way, whether I fit in the mold of regular religions or not. I feel comfortable in my skin and have no fear of God because I believe God is not to be feared. I believe the real worshiping of God is  the practical prayers, meaning doing God’s work as a duty and reciprocation at the equal footing, which is helping humanity as a whole. 

When you look at people living together, if they all reciprocate the house hold is peaceful but when they start to use or dominate each other, naturally things start to fall apart. Then why do we think that we can just pray to God without helping the humanity is enough? The whole picture of God’s help is dependent on the human individual’s physical efforts during living years, being put into the humanity to keep it from becoming a ghost town. If you worship God but don’t do anything for the humanity your worshiping is an impotent act of spirituality because God exists physically like a beautiful table cloth because of that insignificant thread. Without the physicality of the human being, God’s work is not done at least physically, so the real meaningful life is the living years where you are useful to God. If you are useful and are reciprocating then you have nothing to fear. Heaven or hell is a subject of unknown so sacrificing this life or living in fear and stress is like putting all your eggs in that basket would be playing in the hands of the powerful in this world.
