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.

Thinking as an Art

Hi Ton,

One more thought.
Have you ever thought of thinking as an Art?
Writing is certainly a means for thinking to be an Art because it forces one to put a thoughtless world into a thoughtful form.
I realize you might think I am terrible in this Art but I have no idea how else to get good at it if I don’t practice it. And what I really want to do is to invite you to play with it. We are each such beautiful, huge, great creative beings that it only takes a little bit of digging inside to allow for one’s self to surface! I would love to see you. Not your mind but you, your spirit.

Sometimes I might write whole posts without reaching the depth of my soul but sometimes I only need a few words to feel it flourishing.

How does writing work for you? Communicating?

When in instead of writing we are talking it is also a beautiful thing! It might take a little while too but sometimes it happens in actual speech and it is so very exiting to be a witness of people’s presence when they let their soul come out in their language.

Have you not experienced how language itself is a teacher? I mean, how, when in a dialogue one is able to formulate a complete idea in a few words that had been troubling one for weeks? Or when new knowledge comes with a connection one accidentally made and that wasn’t at all expected?

All Art for me is about establishing greater and stronger connections between one’s self and the world around one for one’s self as much as for those who appreciate the piece so finding in language and dialogue tools to connect more deeply is a very exiting thing.

And then there are people who do not write, or think, or make Artistic things but who in their daily life are more connected to themselves and the world around them than I’ve ever managed more than glimpses of as if having to connect to artistic forms were the necessary struggle of those of us who’ve been violently disconnected to nature and our own nature and Art as much as Work, when work is creative, no matter which, were the elaborate path to find our selves again.

Please share with us what you love. Love is the only thing that inspires us to be our selves.
