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.

Goza mi alma!


Porque no he tenido hogar me he tenido que volver el hogar de mi misma.
Y sin embargo gozo con las calles, las casas y los edificios como si fueran todos mi hogar y reconociera en los corredores soleados y las matas verdes de alegría algo más profundo que la casa, más esencial que la nación, al ser humano que palpita en el espacio público.
Donde poner tanto gozo? Con quien compartirlo? lo guardo entonces en los pliegues de mi sonrisa interior, el corazón que late más lentamente a medida que se ensancha su capacidad de abrazar en un aliento el palpitar de la vida.
Soy feliz! Not happy sino feliz! Es extraño que en inglés no podemos decir que somos felices con la misma palabra y que la felicidad sea algo completamente diferente para los angloparlantes que para los hispanos.
Hablamos de felicidad cuando el alma vibra con su propia existencia abierta como una flor que en su color invita al sol a posarse, mientras la abeja liba de su seno.
Feliz! De que el mundo sea! Feliz! De que seamos! Feliz! De vivir y morir, vivir muriendo y morir viviendo. Me admiro ante el aliento con que otros viven y mueren, corren y recorren sus propios caminos, dejan que alcen vuelo sus almas y aterrizan en las mañanas en sus lechos para vivir un día más, las pequeñas cosas de cada día.
Es hermoso vivir! Y morir. No pienso correrle a la muerte aunque no tenga afán de encontrarla. Ya nos intuímos en el cuerpo que ella alienta, oscureciéndose. Siempre ha estado allí como el ruedo detrás de la falda de la vida.
Gozo. Goza mi alma. Goza y se regocija de gozar, sola y en silencio. Como se dirá gozar en inglés? No lo se aunque sepa más ingles que español pero este goce que sentimos en Español no existe en el diccionario británico, no entienden mis hermanos angloparlantes lo que digo cuando goza mi alma. En todo Shakespeare no han gozado como El Quijote! Talvez más pero nunca igual. Quizá el sol nunca alcanzó a calentarles tanto las pantorrillas para gozar con la hoja de plátano, el descascarado arbol de guayaba o el frondoso mango. Sus plantas tendrán y sus almas gozarán como las nuestras cuando en la adultes recuerdan los caminos de la niñez que ya talaron. Humanos al fín de cuentas, aunque pocos lo recuerden, gozamos todos con la misma certeza, el aliento de la niñez.
