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.

The logos- Elena


To learn the lesson doesn’t mean that we allow fear to control our actions and continue to trust our selves as much as others because affirming our love is the only way forward for human beings. The real world is not only the harm that some do on others or the harm that most allow others to do but the healing impulses that we are each trying to bring forwards towards each other. That is more real than anything else. What we have to check is our identification with our imaginary status. It is that identification what stimulates the ego to act against those it thinks should carry out a subservient act. Men on women, first world on third world, high class on lower class, educated on uneducated… all are struggling with their own identification consciously or unconsciously to become more human because the problem with carrying out the identification is that it always brings suffering to the individual: separation from others.
It would be interesting to explore the real problems we face and not dwindle in our personal misgivings which are many and at the same time it seems the conversation we have is in accordance with our level of being and the poverty of it simply reveals where we are.
The real problems to more harmonious interaction between people certainly relate to their identification with their imaginary picture or status quo. It is precisely that identification what keeps us from understanding the objectivity of the situation:
A dialogue is conditioned by the people involved in it.
Master and servant
Authority and subject
Man and woman identified with their manhood or womanhood unable to perceive themselves as human beings rather than people of a particular genre
Parents and children where the parents live out their identification with authority in their humiliating domination of their children
These structures have been a reality for centuries. We are still living under them widely in most continents. They account for ninety five percent of the injustices the world over. Complaining or crying over them is of no use, we need to empower ourselves, for the struggle for equality between human beings is real. The dynamics of empowering our selves is necessary. There are those who exercise their empowerment against others but they do it mechanically because of their unconscious repetition of the role they’ve been born into. It always acts against us when we repeat a model without consciousness because what was right for one generation is seldom right for the next one.
The dialogue itself is just an expression of the being of the people involved. A true dialogue between human beings is in itself probably the greatest art form: a healing and evolving activity between two people. An act of creation. Like making love.
The more open and human the dialogue, the more trust and connectedness between the speakers. This trust and connectedness, this “love” between them is an aspect of the “logos”. The “word”. But as I understand it, the logos is not only related to language and dialogue, it is a possibility in every human act. It is a consistent interaction of energy between the many dimensions both outside and inside the human being.
The logos is the language of the spirit. It is the healing vitality of life acting on people. The energy between people can be both healing and harming. When it is harming, it is not an ascending healing and strengthening interaction but a depleting one. Instead of revitalizing each other the participants drain each other’s energy. They are being drained or draining each other in world 96 or lower. Every individual has the responsibility of not allowing others to drain their energy. This interchange of energies is a law in our lives. We are always challenging each other through our identification with each other. The life energy in each one of us is sacred. We need it for our personal as much as our human evolution. What we can come to understand in relation to dimensions or worlds is that they are an objective reality. In world 96 we experience our selves and our reality in a very definite way. When people say “the real world” they are usually referring to that harshness of world 96 in which the individual barely perceives more than the gross aspects of his own multiple dimensions.
Should we study carefully we would be able to pinpoint how we are in the dimension of false personality or world 96 in a dialogue and we should do this not to pinpoint the failure of each other but to learn together how to avoid falling into the same vices. When we begin to live as equal human beings, what we must be able to achieve is to make our lives “objective” without hurting each other for our multiple misgivings. This does not mean that we will not punish crime. Crime will continue to be punishable in every generation because what each generation brings is the freshness of the ideal human and the old generation is confronted and overcome eventually.
This is complex but it is a step forward in my research. We’ve cleared some aspects of consciousness in my previous post but here we are beginning to deal with how that consciousness lives itself out in our actual lives. The tool of worlds presented in The System can be useful for those who’ve verified it but for those who haven’t it is better to think of dimensions.
This is delicate because I’ve been referring to dimensions more from the point of view of the inner dimensions of an individual while “world 96,48,24,12,6, 3 and one” in the System refer not only to layers of consciousness but to being used as tools to objectively name a phenomenon or to place a phenomenon within its objective reality.
Obviously the objective reality is absolutely connected with the being of the people involved, hence we can have a dialogue that belongs to world 96, 48, etc and the quality of energy that is experienced within the dialogue is what will go back to the participants and heal them or harm them, needing their own individual digestion either way.
This inner digestion enters the space of what I would call religion or psychology. For me there’s no difference between them. Psychology has come to replace the absurdity of a religion that took the divine out of the individual and made human beings subservient to each other but religion in its original esoteric essence is a connectedness between human beings, and actualization of their spirituality in life.
The interaction between people would then belong to the sphere of politics: civility. How civil can people be to each other is what actualizes the logos in their concrete lives, in their every day lives. The uprising in Egypt is an actualization of the logos in our lives. To live up to that new paradigm that is emitted from the uprising is what life itself must carry out. The uprising is an expression of the people’s spiritual will, the following actualization of that will is a realization of their consciousness.
This interaction between politics and religion, between the social being and the individual being is what allows for evolution both as individuals and as human beings. The social is the womb in which we develop our individualities and when we overcome the womb and actualize our individuality, transform and transport it once again into the social sphere as mature human beings, we renew not only our selves but the world. The new generation is transformed not only externally by the changes we’ve actualized but inwardly affected by the spiritual realizations that we’ve achieved. We may not see the energies flowing within the spiritual dimensions of the human being but they are more quickly connected to each other than our physical selves.
We are our selves many versions of our human evolution just like our many cells are many versions of our individual existence.
I wish to come back again and again to the objectivity of our reality because I believe that if we can begin to perceive it in grand scale, we will begin to recover the sacred in our lives not with a God that lives outside of our selves but a dimension of humaneness that lives within our selves and that can be actualized in our social relationships.
A musician must know that the music is an objective reality not just a noise to dance to. We all “know” that and yet we don’t know it. In our times we live in so much noise that we’ve forgotten the music and even music tends to become the privilege of a few although it is a birthright of all human beings in every civilization. We must begin to think not only of music as an objective reality that we share and affects us, with a healing or harming effect, with a uniting or separating effect , but also of everything else we share: food and its production, architecture and its construction, technology and its construction: life. All these are objective realities that affect and determine us in concrete ways.
We live in a beautiful world and we are its people.
I need to leave the corrections for later.
