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- Cult mechanics in language and behavior


182. Elena - November 5, 2009 [Edit]

I was at an Anthroposophical medicine course over the weekend and it was as shockingly cultish as in the Fellowship. The course was held by a VIP VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, a Peruvian oncologist , leading the medicine courses and institutes for South America.
There are a few areas worth noting that repeated themselves as strongly:
1. While introducing our selves he showed discomfort towards someone who stated she was a housewife and not a Doctor like some of the others
2. He pushed that to the point that towards the end, he said he couldn’t talk about the heart because he could only do that to Doctors
3. He psychologically separated the group between the more evolved Doctors and less evolved people.
4. He presented the material as if it were extremely difficult and had each person interpret a paragraph and made everyone feel as though their interpretation was incorrect. If the interpretation was really incorrect he exposed the person strongly and if the interpretation was too good and transported into practical examples he dismissed it saying it was too difficult for anyone of us to interpret it accentuating the inadequacy of all the participants.
5. He had brought a translation from German to Spanish and in the middle of the course decided with his wife who was German, that the translation was TERRIBLE and that they would translate it themselves. They did translate it and made such a literal translation that it was impossible to understand it which is what they unconsciously wanted so that they would reaffirm the idea that it was too difficult a material for layman like us to understand! Just like Robert interprets texts as madly as he likes and pretends that no one else can do it.
6. The housewife was actually the lady who was able to transport the information into practical examples and it made him so uncomfortable that he ended up suggesting she be banned from participating in further courses!
7. He told the lady that she was very sick and should not work with her mind! That she should only do physical work!
8. The Doctor who had invited him to give the conference behaved like a submissive sheep before the God
9. Everyone was submissive and allowed him to deploy his rationality to undermine each one of them except the housewife who challenged him.
10. When a young lady’s turn came towards the end, she tried to interpret the paragraph and instead started crying. She could not take the pressure.
11. Instead of teaching anything about medicine he spent fifteen hours showing the participants, all adults, that they didn’t know how to read!
I don’t know how much such things have been studied in Cult books but the more I look at it, the clearer and obvious are the patterns of behavior amongst people who think they incarnate an authority and people who submit to incarnating a layman. They are both obviously unaware of what they are doing. They are both unconscious to it. They are both “identified” “incarnating” their so called role and cannot relate to each other as equal human beings.
The authoritarian aspects of the relationship lie precisely in the separations that the authorities try to impose:
In the Fellowship cult:
different prices,
hierarchical chairs according to price paid
six people sitting in front as inner circle
Others
In the Anthroposophical Cult witnessed over the weekend and a congress two months ago:
The BIG Conference by the top man is given without the possibility of questions
The “Doctors” are superior to other people, this way they attract people to the “inner circle” who are willing to incarnate a superiority act towards the others and separate each other.
I think I’ll try going to scientology next week! It’s in the details where we’ll understand how exactly it works.
The “being”, the “humanity” of the Authority presenting no matter what knowledge is in his or her capacity to treat the people as equals. More knowledge does not make anyone superior and real knowledge cannot be transmitted with arrogance. That was also my mistake in the fofblog, particularly at the end.
