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.

Being and centers


Hi apprentice shepherd,
Yes, that certainly happens if one is coming from the mind, I mean, forgetting to be when thinking about it, it’s a good observation because I didn’t even think about it, feeling that it’s a knowing in the realm of being rather than the mind. But then the same could be said about feeling. In true personality knowing and feeling are not the same as knowing and feeling in the ego.
I like to think about it as parts of a car. A great car deserves a great driver and a great driver tends to keep the car in great condition. The parts, when relating to the being are very different to the parts when subduing the being which is what I feel happens all of our lives before we actually make ourselves present in it.
The image of the carriage and the driver is the same in the System but actually experiencing it is what I feel is worth doing if we’re going to talk about it. Although I believe I’m a few lifetimes away from the kind of awakening I think is possible, the little I managed to actually work at the beginning of joining the Cult was wonderfully powerful. Then I turned the work against my self to bear the cult and instead of developing I almost drowned in the sea of psychological slavery. It’s a good thing I’m such a hard headed woman because I never managed to really belong and that was a blessing! There was always an element of distrust that kept questioning it. But that’s exactly what makes cults work so efficiently, that in the first period the member advances because of the love, enthusiasm and effort that he or she put into the work and then realizing that the cult is a cult and not a school takes the whole circle until one is mature enough to understand what one is no longer willing to put up with even if it kills one to leave it!. It took me seventeen years to realize what was so inhuman about it but I’m so glad that I’ve understood that this deeply that I don’t regret the losses. As I recover the sense of my self again which was seriously disturbed until fairly recently, I am also recovering the feeling that everything is possible, particularly the appreciation of beauty in our interchanges. I am so sorry I messed up so badly in my first participation in the fofblog, but I am so glad I was able to keep my self together in the second participation.
I only had to look up scambi which I should have guessed, for in Spanish it’s cambiar or intercambio so it might not be too difficult to keep up the game. For me it’s more an opportunity for you to express yourself without the inconvenience of not feeling too comfortable with the English, so if you mix them some I should be able to understand you more fully. That is only for when you’re “eager” to say what you need to say in Italian.I assume neither one of us has too much time for the dictionary so unless it’s essential we can do most of it in English.
Pero para probar, si hay algo lindo en nuestros idiomas es la calidez, así que te mando un fuerte abrazo. Que tengas un bello día! Gracias por estar por aquí.
