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 - With all due respect and consideration


Stand very corrected Ton.
There is nothing of that. Everyone is struggling through difficult times, everyone makes mistakes, men, women, young, mature, old people. The point is not destroying each other because of the many mistakes we’ve made but acknowledging them so that we are clear about what shouldn’t be done again. It’s the endless repetition of the same mistakes what is worth looking at carefully because that reveals “crystallized” tendencies that run into the pathological like your repeating things about me that have been checked and proved wrong over and over again without your willingness to acknowledge anything other than your own position.
Since I have the feeling that this blogging is becoming pathological for you, if you continue in the same vein I will stop reading your posts and move away from this venue. I don’t “ban” you because sick as you seem, I always have hope that something better can come but I’m not too hopeful anymore.
It is not that I’m interested in agreeing with each other but I’ve heard enough of your personal criticism of my self with your cheap psychologizing. Since I am convinced that THAT is neither healthy for you OR me, I am not willing to take it anymore. You’ve much exhausted the subject of my personal shortcomings, your points of view are very clear but this blog is about much more than that whether you are interested in other things or not.
While I’ve been the first to stand by the idea that personal exploration should be possible in the public sphere, you’ve been wonderfully helpful in pointing to the deficiencies of such an approach because it is something that must necessarily be done with sincere love and interest between the people involved and you have nothing of that. You have obviously been very affected by my attacks on the Fellowship cult and the culture behind cults: men and women who abuse others criminally and although you do not mention it, it is clear to me that you’re going through a very rough time in your personal life. You are as lonely and aggressive as I was after leaving the fellowship cult and while I would love to be able to help you, I realize I cannot, you should find someone who you can actually be with. That in itself is healing.
While I am happy to take responsibility for what I’ve said in practically every area, while I am willing to acknowledge that before I was banned the first time I myself yelled and screamed too loud at too many people, that has not been the case for a long time for me to have to put up with your continuous personal attacks.
I respect your opinions and am willing to take them even though I do not agree with any one of them. I have tried to dialogue with you long enough without success and now wish to turn my energy and attention to other matters.
May every scent of love and life cross your path and bring happiness and well being to you, your family and your community.
With all due respect and consideration,
Elena
