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.

To wish you well

Resting
my eyes need it
A day of music and sleeping
A dialogue with a friend

And you?

What are you working on?
We are like creepers tangling our selves in each other’s life
And still we are our selves no matter how tangled

Did you move a little?
I play with two one meter copper tubes and since I’ve been doing that my back hurts less. It is a wonderful thing to feel the length of those solid tubes as an extension of one’s self and the power with which they embrace me with the movement of my arms.

Do you play an instrument?
I am a beginner at the guitar and I am fifty-one, someone reminded me yesterday, not fifty two as I’ve been thinking, and I had never understood that music is one of the most beautiful soul sculptors that we can access. If you don’t play an instrument yet, which one would you like to play? On the one hand it fortifies one’s self because the effort involved in the practice strengthens it and on the other the music reminds us that life has its own song and that we are interpreters and creators. I particularly enjoy Sor. Sometimes I play to make up songs from the songs I am learning thinking that if those few notes were made to sound so beautiful by the author if I move them around and play with them they should also give a beautiful result. This is a wonderful practice because it makes me really think about the notes and listen.

Do you eat well?
I had forgotten to remember that food grows out in the sunlight and by the moon and now that I am remembering it, I don’t only eat tomatoes and fish but Ocean, Sun and night filled with stars and thank every man and woman who had to do with placing it on my plate.  I am beginning to feel well nourished.

I ask
Because you matter to me
And to wish you well.
