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.

On my position in the FOF Blog

........At that point in the blog, the situation for me was very clear: We either moved on and acted legally against the Fellowship as a group of people willing to denounce the Fellowship or we remained talking about it without serious consequences to the Fellowship which is what they've actually managed. I was and am convinced that the first action was necessary. That if we were so conscious of the damages the Fellowship has on people we needed to act beyond the blog. In that particular post I write about a woman that committed suicide, one of the children of an fof member. At that point I was aggressively putting pressure on the need to act beyond the blog and posters began writing attacking me personally much more aggressively than before but not the issues involved and I answered back equally aggressive. That is what I am sorry for, not for my position. When I apologized I did not apologize for my understanding but for my negativity and aggression which I couldn't control at the time. While I realize I failed personally to control myself I am convinced it was the people participating in the blog who failed to live up to what was needed: legal, public action against the Fellowship cult in particular and Cults in general. My personal failure is pitiful but the failure of so many ex-members to act seriously against the cult is despicable. That is why I am essentially happy to stand up for my position. 


It is important to notice that when a group of people are not able to live up to the needs of a situation they buffer it by personally condemning and outlawing the person that is presenting the opposition that they cannot cope with, without ever actually dealing with the issues. This has been happening long before Christ. It's a hard lesson to learn about our lives but it gives us an inkling into the reality of our state of being.
