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.

Sharing

Thanks for sharing your dream and the beautiful song that I much enjoyed.  
I haven’t read Beelzebub in a long time so if you can remind me where to find the strivings question I’ll be happy to look at it. Some thoughts in the meantime.
Would you consider that the instinctive centre, in as much as it connects to the physical aspect of our selves is at the same time wonderfully connected to nature and its laws? If one were to grasp that reality in its full scope wouldn’t that alone be an amazing connectedness to the world around us? To nature yes but all of nature including the planets and galaxies! Sometimes when making love I’ve had an amazing feeling of connectedness with the cosmos but it is also there at dawn and sunset when the colours are so dim that they feel like the skin of light!
Attention for others to me is an expression of love. As I get older I realize that all we have for each other is time and it is precisely what we no longer have when we die. Everything else that is enveloped in time, all our gestures of love are possible because we are literally willing to give our self’s time to others. I’ve become a very good friend with time now that I’m old enough to realize that it is such a precious gift!
M:“is this really a doing or more a not doing – a kind of to “let be worked on”?”
The beautiful thing about it the few times I’ve managed to live it is that it is a being that can let it be done. Nothing requires more will than being but once being, there is no need to force things because they come to us like kittens for milk! A lot of doing also makes things happen but they often come like wolves looking for blood rather than milk. That too is alright because we learn as much about ourselves from the bleeding as from the milk. It is good to realize that we are not saints so that we can trim the fangs! I’ve lived in a time in which people are supposed to be perfectly inoffensive and must cut off all their strength to not protest for the absurdities but I think understanding the absurdities of one’s self as much as others is as necessary as keeping one’s strength to object when necessary.

Thank you for sharing, may you both have a bright sunny day!
