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.

We are One!

55. Elena - April 17, 2010 [Edit]
Hi Ton,

We are One. This is my belief. You do not have to believe it and that’s O.K. It is the loveliest and greatest realization I have actually lived for and have no intention of letting go of it now that I understand it but have equally no intention of hurting you if you do not agree with it.

We are One
This Earth on which WE live is OURS.
We are all responsible for each other and nature
We are all humans beyond our race, education and nationality
First “humans”, not Americans, Colombians or Japanese, English, Egyptian or South African.
What is not human in America, Colombia, Japan, England, Egypt or South Africa is not human and must be challenged by every human being living no matter where.
We are human.
We are not only the owners of our planet we are the owners of our destiny.
We are not only the owners and the people responsible for this earth and each other we are the beneficiaries of this earth’s and each other’s goods and life. Life must be protected because it is life giving.
The people of each nation must use and protect their goods and the goods in each nation must be valued as equally good as the goods of other nations. The amazon forest must be protected by all of us because we all need it for our well being but protecting that good must be included in the distribution of responsibilities other nations have towards the income that Brasil, Colombia and other nations are not being able to withdraw for protecting the forests.
We must look at OUR plight from a human perspective, not an individualistic perspective. Individualism was a necessary step towards maturing as human beings and leaving behind the authoritarian hierarchic structures present in the clan mentality. It is not necessary now, it has served its purpose. Now it’s necessary for the individual to go beyond his own self into the realm of our selves, our Earth, our nations, our people, US, as human beings.

The first world is in need of the third world and vice-versa, not only economically but humanly. The first world cannot survive without the help of people from the third world particularly in Europe. America’s plight is different, they are imploding from within, like cults and they are hurting people in other nations with their policies. Individualism is over. It is time for US.
