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.

On the 44th anniversary of your death



You have been resting for so long Oh mother
that I would like to come and wake you up 
like we use to when we were kids and you stayed in bed 'till late

I remember when you died forty four years ago
I thought that you’d be dead for the whole of eternity 
and I could hardly bare that length of time with my bare nine
But you're as alive as I am, 
in that dimension you've paid the price 

When we met not so long ago
you told me without words that 
In that dimension we were always together.
I already knew it but had never thought
that it too applied to you and me

It takes a long time to live up to one's knowledge
and I am still far from accomplishing it as it deserves
but every day there's a little more light
not only in the Sun
but Us

I've never worked as hard as recently
or enjoyed my self as much
I think you are proud somewhere 
which means you'll get strength from the strength within

Pride I know is not like pride
in that dimension
or gratitude
but grace could almost make it
if it were not a word but the state of being

To be...
Words...
but still

How would you like me to honor you on this day?
My brother is not home
I could try my sister
Your sister?
I could try her too
My father?
Your husband?

There's a magic triangle in two forces that give life to one being 
but we hardly ever think about that
as if there were too many people to realize how sacred life is
but it is

The triangle is pointing upwards 
Our parents sit like roots
at the base of our being
and enact the forces of life
in all dimensions

Our ignorance lies in the fact that we live in the consciousness of the most superficial dimension but our being expands within as much as without. We can actualize our Selves in all dimensions by acting from the dimensions within in the dimensions without or from the dimensions without to the dimensions within. From our most inner self to our most outer being in which we are apparently separate selves: the life we share in this natural dimension as much as in the complex social fabric that holds our destinies. They are no less sacred than any other dimension. But we are experts at making hell of it in our unconsciousness.

We manifest the consciousness or unconsciousness of our Oneness in how we connect to each other. How we allow our world to be organized, 'hierarchisized' instinctively for the benefit of a few is a problem of the overall consciousness of our selves put together. It is no one's fault but everyone's responsibility. To understand our Oneness and live it out in our social world protecting 'life' with 'love'. 


What are you doing to protect it?

If we look at how we are hurting it today, it is easy to realize how criminal we are. We are all responsible for the crime that is abundant in our world. It is the reflection of our poor consciousness. No one can separate from responsibility, from suffering or from grace. But the most mature amongst us are more responsible than the rest.

We are laws within laws
and should know our selves, 
as much as our lives,
sacred

Touch with the life within
and give life
in the act

On your day 
I wish to sit with you for awhile
and in that act
actualize our Oneness
