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.

Que Viva La Muerte!

Heme aquí
Un cuerpo que ya se delinea más allá de la vida
mariposa, espíritu que
no pierde el hilo de su propio aliento.

Se es joven mientras la muerte le es inconcebible a la esencia
Y afortunado cuando la esencia da lugar a sus dimensiones
Más allá del cuerpo, la sangre en movimiento
Más acá de la vida, el hálito inconmensurable de la muerte.

No se es nada
Porque se es todo
Cuando se deja de ser todo
Se es algo: nada

Aún con demasiada piel en el alma
Añoro el otoño
el tronco y las ramas
que delinean el invierno

No se apena el árbol de su desnudez
Porque habría de apenarse el ser humano de su honradez?

Y se vive cada día con la misma intensidad con que las estaciones marcan su paso inexorable
Se encuentra uno
de pronto
más allá de un verano
y se contiene en el alma
lo que ya no queda en el cuerpo
aunque haya llovido demasiado
y también se haya sido desierto.

Se canta
Se canta una canción no de amor sino algo más firme que las emociones
Más dulce que las caricias
Más sólido que la penetración.

Se canta
No uno
sino lo que se canta en uno

El destino que se extiende al interior
Oscuro como la noche
Bienvenido como el descanso

Y caen como lágrimas
Los seres que amamos
Que dejamos
Que marcharon
Como hojas secas
Iluminadas bajo el agua de la tierra.

Caen?
Caen en Sí mismos
Y nos dejan el aliento
Pintan nuestro destino
Marcan sus huellas en el cielo
Y vuelan hacia su propio Yo:
el nuestro.

No somos menos que los ángeles en la primavera
Ni menos que los Dioses en el invierno
Pero si humanos en el verano y
Andróginos en el otoño.

Si la tierra no fuera el cielo
Y el cielo, la tierra y el infierno
Como haríamos para llegar
De nuevo al paraíso?

La poesía es la muerte que se asoma a la vida
Por entre las rendijas de cada día
La literatura, la vida que se asoma a la muerte
Por entre las rendijas de cada noche

La ciencia es la piel de la muerte en el cuerpo de la vida
la religión, la muerte, en el alma de la vida y
La política, la muerte, en el espíritu de la vida 

El arte es la muerte en vida y
La muerte, la vida de la vida!

Es la muerte la resurrección que se necesita
para darle sentido a nuestra vida.
La muerte o la dimensión que  da aliento a la vida.

La existencia no es una línea recta de la vida a la muerte
sino dos líneas que se encuentran y fructifican
líneas, fuerzas, dimensiones
interconectadas en nuestro interior.
