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.

Ton and Elena - The end to dialogue


16.            ton - April 2, 2011 [Edit]
elena,
apparently what i post here represents a distraction to you from ‘more important’ things, and the opinions i express here are called ‘harrassing’ — on the other hand, you did just write this: “I feel very good these days Ton and wish the same for you. Life out of the cult has proved promising and little by little I recover the integrity of being. You have been right about very many things but you don’t have the love that is needed for a dialogue. Never the less I value your presence and consistency. In this friction, we polish our being.”

the above quote from you was about the most accepting thing you’ve ever said of my presence here.

i realize that in part, your defensiveness gives rise to a frequent desire to demean, insult and threaten me and this the ‘gratitude’ to expect from you for my own ‘gratuitous offerings’ – ‘gratuitous’ in the sense that these ‘offerings’ (opinions) of mine are freely given — my opinions are apparently now being offered too ‘freely’ for your liking. (gra·tu·i·tous /grəˈtuɪtəs, -ˈtyu-/ [gruh-too-i-tuhs, -tyoo-] –adjective 1. given, done, bestowed, or obtained without charge or payment;free; voluntary. 2. being without apparent reason, cause, or justification:a gratuitous insult…. the ‘principle of payment’ comes as a question — the cost determines the value in this case… should it be the other way ’round?).

in my opinion, by ‘blogging’ you are doing something that is important for you, even ‘essential,’ i never meant to imply otherwise and excuse me if i haven’t made that clear enough…. but i think i have. my intention is not to impede your process here, i occasionally offer an expression of impressions and opinions as a(nother) possible source of ‘food for thought’ — but right now this is too much for your emotional body to handle, i aplologize, i’m wearing you out, so i’ll giving you a much needed break… take time to rest and digest. i wish you well:

“Human self-reflection is the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about their fundamental nature, purpose and essence. The earliest historical records demonstrate the great interest which humanity has had in itself. Human self-reflection invariably leads to inquiry into the human condition and the essence of humankind as a whole. Human self-reflection is related to the philosophy of consciousness, the topic of awareness, consciousness in general and the philosophy of mind. Humans consider themselves to be the dominant species on Earth and the most advanced in intelligence and ability to manage their environment.” etc… here’s a portal to interesting links:

Yes, I’ve always been too kind with you, it is part of my naive nature but I learn the sort of thing that is necessary for people to understand how accountable they can be. Something changes for the better then.
