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.

Feminine dominance-the Fellowship's feature- Whalerider


This is a good post by Whalerider because it mentions exactly the main area of work of the Fellowship cult: feminine dominance. In future studies we must try to understand how the feminine was emasculated from that cult and how the masculine tried to invent and reinvent itself through absolute control.

Think of it, the Fellowship of Friends, AKA Pathway to Presence, is a group of people who are “taught” through following a doctrine of “resisting feminine dominance” not to feel any remorse for virtually any behavior (theirs or their leader’s) so long as the behavior is in the interest of feeding a hypervigilant state of “wordless presence” and it conforms to their leader’s warped worldview.

Judging from Burton’s shameless personal behavior, the essence of his high intensity/high control cult centers around the attempt to remain in a state of constant excitation associated with sexual arousal or fear.
Burton has labeled this state of arousal a “higher state” and the conforming behavior associated with maintaining his cult’s status quo as the “higher self”.
This is the cover for Burton’s satyriasis mania.
The group’s meetings are therefore charged with this “special energy” that many find intoxicating and addictive, while behind the scenes Burton is constantly feeding his sex addiction with any male follower who will succumb to his authority and demands.
Undoubtedly, as I remember, the stimulant caffeine still plays a major role, lest any unfortunate cult member be caught nodding off during a concert or one of Burton’s freak shows and be asked to leave the cult.
Framed in this manner, why not become a shameless consumer of pornography as well, if it also produces a “higher state” of arousal, as apparently in GH’s case?
The need for the cult leader or guru to maintain an appearance of heightened arousal often leads to drug abuse and other destructive addictions, as evidenced by the history of many a guru and sham evangelist like Burton.
The fault in the glossy-eyed delusion that Burton and his followers are “evolving” is the fact that although hypervigilant, manic states may generate positive feelings and sensations, they are changing and transitory by nature; chasing these states can skew reason and lead to unhealthy behavior.
The transitory nature of moods and states sets the stage for inner conflict and cognitive dissonance in the follower’s ego, who soon discovers that although their guru appears constantly aroused, they lack the internal resources and are unable or cannot afford to remain in that state for any great length of time by themselves.
In order to compensate for this inner dissonance, the follower is incited through FOF indoctrination to project his or her insecurities onto non-members and the world at large, retreating to sooth their ego into an infantile state of dependence, hinging upon group membership and compliance.
FOF cult followers believe their leader, Robert Burton, is forging their way into paradise for them…when in reality, they are just playing a role in his abusive delusional system and feeding his mania.
The only high part in the Fellowship’s version of a so-called, “higher state”, is the high cost to the individual’s psyche and well-being to maintain such a state
