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 "hidrogen" of each act


It seem such an obvious thing and yet it hasn't been obvious for me in fifty years so why would it be so obvious for others? That is, that human beings are like divine beings in their doing and each act is full of meaning?

Maybe that is why unconscious people in essence are not accountable, because we are still in "Paradise", ignorant of what we're doing!!! Isn't that beautiful?

And then when we do know we become accountable and the price for each of our acts is ever so high. And yet there is a balance.

Wouldn't that help explain that difficult idea of the System that man cannot do? Are we then already more than mere humans when we become accountable for our acts? Not that we’re really ever not accountable for every act ads up and one knows the price sooner or later, but it becomes increasingly expensive as one moves along and at the same time the pleasure in paying for it is so much greater, just as if one had actually accumulated enough money in the bank!

It is a very wonderful thing to feel the subtle “hidrogens” of “acts”. Does it happen to people as we get older? That we learn to tread gently that we might not fall so often?
It’s ironic that we learn to do that as our bodies are conditioned to do it so that we don’t actually fall in its weakness no matter how strong we’ve become. It really is a humbling experience how the body gets older and tired and weaker and still carries the whole of one’s life. It is heavy, and the body seems to enjoy the load like a donkey would, at least mine does, it doesn’t mind how the weight has bent its back and it knows that sooner than later there’ll be time to rest… yes, like donkeys or horses on the way back home, hurrying the step a little somewhat anxious to get there.
