The Separation between State and Religion

In time we will realize that Democracy is the entitlement of individuals to every right that was in its times alloted to kings. The right to speak and decide, to be treated with decency, to serve and be served by people in a State of “love” that is, to serve with one’s work for the development of ‘life’. To belong to the Kingdom of Human Beings without racial, national, social or academic separations. To love and be loved. To die at the service of the whole and be honored in one’s death, for one’s life and work was legitimately valued. To be graceful and grateful. To have the pride and the humility of being One with the Universe, One with every realm of Existence, One with every living and deceased soul. To treat with dignity and be treated with dignity for One is dignified together with All others and Life itself. To walk the path of compassion, not in the sorrow of guilt but in the pride of being. To take responsability for one’s mistakes and sufferings and stand up again and again like a hero and a heroine and face the struggle that is put at one’s feet and in one’s hands. Millions of people, millions and millions of people might take many generations to realize the consciousness of our humaneness but there is no other dignified path for the human being.

The “work” as I conceive it is psychological and political. Psychology is the connection between the different dimensions within one’s self and Politics is the actualization of that consciousness in our practical lives. Religion is the ceremony that binds the connectedness between the individual and the Universe. The separation between religion, politics and science, the arts and sports is, in the sphere of the social, the reflection of the schizophrenia within the individual and the masses. The dialogue between individuality and the "human" belongs to consciousness. The tendency to develop cults resides in the shortcomings we’are finding in life as it is structured today. “Life” has become the private property of a few priviledged who cannot profit from it because as soon as it is appropriated it stops to be “life” or “life-giving”.

We are all the victims of our own invention and each one is called upon to find solutions. The only problem is believing our selves incapable of finding them. We are now free to use all Systems of knowledge objectively, sharing them without imposing our will on each other. To become objective about our lives means to understand that the institutions that govern its experience are critically important. That we are one with the governments, one with the religious activities that mark its pace, that the arena’s in which we move our bodies and the laboratories in which we explore our possibilities are ALL part and parcel of our own personal responsibility. That WE ARE ONE WITH EACH OTHER AND EVERYTHING AROUND US and acknowledge for ourselves a bond of love in conscious responsibility. That we human beings know ourselves part of each other and are willing and able to act on our behalf for the benefit of each and every individual. That we no longer allow governments, industries, universities or any other institution to run along unchecked by the objective principles of humaneness. That we do not allow gurus to abuse their power or governors to steal the taxes and use them to their personal advantage in detriment of the whole. That we do not allow abuse from anyone anywhere because life is too beautiful to do so and that we are willing to stop the rampant crime with the necessary compassion Conscious knowledge is every individual's right. Conscious action is every individual's duty.

Elena-Crouching Tiger Book


178. Elena - November 4, 2009 [Edit]

Hi Crouching Tiger,
I am not well enough to sit on my own and write. I need to write for you and others that are sitting with me. I am in great need of being with others after the loneliness of the Fellowship. Perhaps some day I’ll be able to meditate my self into a private work that will actually be the most public, the most human, but until then I cannot see myself writing a book. What I say in the poem is true: We are the story the words are writing and if we can allow ourselves to help and share in each other’s being, state and reality, something more powerful than a book can happen between us. If I had to look into a blank page without anybody there I would not be able to put my self in it.
The idea of writing a beautiful book about the Fellowship doesn’t appeal to me at this point. The wounds are still to sore to be able to transform the experience into something beautiful. I am so very glad that I’ve been able to throw it up and show the muck, the stench, the horror with which I am sick of it. In healing my self, I might one day come to transform it for all of us but that cannot happen today no matter how eager I am to accelerate the process.
It is very good to know that you find my writing worthy of such an enterprise. That alone is healing for I’ve first to recover the trust in myself to enter such a project. In the meantime, the closer we come to each other, the more humanly and realistically we can communicate with each other’s soul, the easier it’ll be to heal. It’s too bad that was not possible in the fofblog for all of us need to recover our trust on each other and cross the lack of love of the Fellowship.
I try not to give up on your interest all together and in my fluctuating state, tomorrow might be a different story but this is how it feels today and I can hardly play more than one day for a tune! You and I also need to meet more closely so that working together is a real working together, not just a business enterprise or even an altruistic enterprise. The aim is to live each minute and what might come from that is a consequence of that aim. If you and I penetrate each other’s soul with the deepness that a book would require, we could write many books. Share your self with me that I am eager to share mine with you. Every enterprise must be an enterprise of love and a book is, above all, a Work of Art and I am far from being the Artist that merits a publication. I am too ill to be published but not too ill to be human.
Allow me to share my thoughts about this in the Public Square for it feels to me that we are in a time in which we can move beyond the private and conquer the Public without shame or fear, no matter how wounded we might be. The Public Arena already places us in a different relationship to each other, introduces responsibilities that we tend to ignore in the privacy of our interchanges. Both are equally necessary and I am finding out what is truly appropriate to each as I make mistakes. I aim to come to a place where nothing about my life is private; where nothing is hidden; where nothing is shameful which doesn’t mean not having sex in the privacy of my abode or that the subject of sex does not need to be looked at with a public eye, as we’ve been doing with Robert’s, Girard’s and my life. Sex matters in social matters as powerfully as in the bedroom.
I leave you more strongly in our selves, a step closer to each other and deeply hopeful that we will one day accomplish to write a book together. If you kick me enough I might cross that fence and be worthy of sharing with you such an enterprise. I too will kick you enough that that might be possible! And hug each other with every kick for it is hugging what this world requires, like lovers who cry in each other’s arms after pushing each other’s being a little further.
Always with love,
Elena
