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.

The Sheperd and Elena on essence




23. Elena - July 26, 2010

The other suicide cases that I’m much interested in is that in cults. It is really very tragic because cults are a little like young renegades. They scape the world trying to find another solution and end up more trapped than those outside for the simple reason that they isolate themselves from humanity. If cults are the “solution” people are finding today, where are we heading towards?

“One because just the attitude of not dealing with problems disables people, two, because when we don’t want to deal with a problem we end up buffering it, three because while we buffer the problem at the same time we make a huge drama of it instead of finding solutions and four because we end up living in an imaginary world. ”
Yes. I was ” italian cocco of mamma” mama’boy so she knotted my shoestring till up age. I wish to add (also if it is a corollary one point) that we learn to suffer (as synonymous of bear friction) for the wrong things. You could spent a lot of physical and psychological energy because you have buffer your real aim.
The comic of the situation is that the people as you tell about the lower working classes is less lunatic than intellectuals,but lacks the ability to develop it. In Italy the old socialist,communist people had a strong solidarity feeling between them. In my place the worker built their Theatre stone by stone.
Now we are involving anywhere…

25. Elena - July 26, 2010

Are we now involving each other anywhere or evolving everywhere? Or do both have to happen for either one to occur!!? I’m kidding you a little, I think you just misspelled the word!
It’s very good to hear your fresh voice. Thank you again.
This idea that lower classes lack the ability to develop it is of course an idea from the system. Have you ever thought about why that might be?

26. apprentice shepherd - July 27, 2010

May be you are right and I am conditioned and there is to understand what means evolve, develop.
But i see that people (not just lower classes) that not have time or energy or inclination to intellectual food lacks that knowing that we can use from the people that have experienced before us to make more clear the big picture(life). I live in Italy: between me and and American there are 2000 years of culture that I without do nothing have in my brains-
I am not able to express better this:i am not at all nationalist, but for example Italian is a better language to express many things than English. And to know two 3,5 languages gives a different prospective view to understand if then you try to do something with it.

27. Elena - July 27, 2010

I guess the question for me is not so much whether we’re Italian or American but how human can an Italian or an American be? They are both such great cultures in their own way. They’ve both given us so much.
Italian is a much better language to express one’s self if one is Italian but a chinese would say the same thing about his language! A culture might be great because of its age but that doesn’t necessarily make the people of today from that culture more human than the other. It’s like saying that a saturn is better than a jovial which was also common in the cult but then we wouldn’t understand the wonder of diversity.
Talking of which, if you’d like to try some Italian, I might be able to understand you. Would you understand Spanish? Could be fun!

28. Elena - July 27, 2010

On the subject of lower classes having what is necessary I don’t think the question was formulated correctly, in fact, the idea in the System has nothing to do with lower classes but with people in essence and something I’ve been pondering about that is that in essence WE ARE while in true personality we know we are. Like in Adam and Eve’s story, after the apple they knew both good and evil like God!…to express it simply!
It’s as if the journey through the body were only a fifth of the journey and we would then need to travel the heart, the mind, movement and processes, fire and laws. And as if we had to become objective to ourselves while in essence we simply are one with the whole without having to think about it.
As if the journey were a slow dismantling of all the obstacles that we ourselves invented in the trip from essence to false personality which, as ego, is nothing more than the separation from the whole.
Such a great adventure!
