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.

Genuinely wounded - Mr. Pratt - Thank you

Deception is a tactical necessity. Deception should not be used as strategic policy. No friendship is maintained through deception, and decaying relationships are aggravated further by dishonesty. The people must hold their governments accountable. I am genuinely wounded when I see the United States Government denying American Citizens the basic rights, not only guaranteed to them by The Constitution, but rights which some of us have fought so hard to provide to those in Iraq. Men and women have have died trying to provide the Iraqi People with the right to criticise, scrutinize and reform their government, for the right to understand and be of one mind with their government. Apparently while we fought abroad, our rights were being chipped away at home.

    It is quite shocking for me to find you here tonight just a couple of hours after you wrote. You, of all the people that I have posted, here! It is such an honor for me to have you visit. To be able to tell you how clearly I can hear your words above, your pain and recognition of the suffering people are going through, us included, as we watch those in power play the game of deception.

    My heart goes out to yours. We become stronger in these connections. Thank you.

    I've been out working with the glass all day and have just come back wondering if you'd posted and it makes me very happy to see that you have. It's so strange to find someone willing and able to acknowledge and appreciate what I've been working on for almost five years.

    I thought it was time to put an end to this so it's very surprising to see you show up just as I feel almost ready to move on. I realize it's not very "orderly" and there are so very many things that should be revised and corrected but I'm glad it's all here even if it could be better.

    Our lives are such a journey...

    So much suffering and so much fun... for some.

    Playing with colors in glass must be one of the best things I've ever done! They are like little creatures that come to life as they are put together with the others and sometimes they don't like each other's colors so they protest and tell me to get them out of the light scope! Then when the right ones are put together they get happy and give joy!

    Isn't it wonderful and tremendously weird to meet each other like this?
    You could know quite a bit about me reading this blog and I only know what my heart heard in your writing. I feel as if I were treading in the dark but it's very good to hear you say these things. Thank you.

    Wish you much joy,
    Elena
