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's harassment disguised in "help" clothing



14.            ton - April 1, 2011 [Edit]
elena,
did you read the part about “narcissistic rage” ? here are examples… never mind, i won’t bother reposting your own words again… i encourage you to go back with ‘fresh eyes’ and ‘objectively’ to re-read my previous post and your reactions to it, therein you’ll find plenty of examples of what is referred to as narcissistic rage… in fact most of the post is a reactive rejection of everything i said… “I will simply erase your post… I realize the “problem” is in you and not in me…” what happened to “we are one” elena? you have your pie-in-the-sky only when it suits you ? if “the problem” is in me, then isn’t it in you as well…? and visa versa… that is, if we are indeed “One…” as you so frequently remind ‘us’ here.

look elena, back when you were desperate for help, in your own way you were crying out for help, for support, for attention, and i in my own way have been offering it to you. now i dare say that whereas you slip into your favorite slogan when it suits you, i actually live it… i act on the idea that “we are one,” in fact i live it everyday of my life, in my work and in my interactions with other beings here on terra firma — this is an essential part of my ethic and one which i live everyday — when i encounter / recognize that another creature is in need, it’s my responsibility to help where i can. the ‘moral’ is, if there is one — be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.

elena, i am a therapist and i’ve been in and out of various therapies for much of my adult life so i know that sometimes therapy can be painful…. i feel your pain and this is not easy for me either but i also sense some positive movement, just a few degrees but that’s how things go… incrementally. shrinking of the ego can mean breaking through certain types of psychological structures and emotional armoring — this can be a relatively uncomfortable process depending on the degree to which a person identifies and invests herself in the function of the ego… the discomfort involved in therapy is probably in large part why so many avoid it, even though the majority of people would no doubt benefit from one type or another.

i’ve pointed out before the many times here where you compare me to and conflate me with your ex husbands and burton, and i’ve suggested a few of the possible reasons for this…. but it’s really up to you to sort out these types of issues for yourself…. i’ve pointed out before that although you have accused me of being ‘sick’ many times here, i’ve never said that of you…. thouth i do think that everyone, without exception, needs help and support from time to time, even when they are too proud to recognize or admit it… it takes a modicum of humility to be able to admit to needing help and support and it takes humility to accept help; it is this humility which counteracts arrogance and that’s partly what we’re working on. especially in need of help and support is a person who is in the process of coming out of long-term cult involvement. often that person is deeply ashamed of certain aspects of her involvement, she can be very angry and resentful about it, with a lot of underlying sadness and grief. what does she do with that anger, the rage, the sadness? of course she just wants to move on with her life, return to ‘normal’ and bury the past, but the experience is there and it continues to have an effect on daily life, on interactions with others, perceptions, emotions, etc. as much as one would like to shed the experience, to forget about it and move on with a ‘clean slate,’ processing the experience is necessary and even with focused efforts it takes a long, long time, probably the rest of this lifetime. what i try to point out to you are some of the ‘symptoms’ of life after the cult – the effects of brainwashing and especially some of the residual effects based on your particular place in the hierarchy, ego-inflation for example… the felt-need to fill the void with other ’causes’ — and what i’ve tried to probe here are some of the possible ‘reasons’ an individual involves, aligns and ‘armors’ herself with a cult mentality, etc, etc…. this is no easy thing you are going through, i know, and i commend you for it, it takes a lot of courage, and determination. i know you are processing things the only way you can and i’m sorry i’ve been difficult on you, i know i have been… but i sense that you are resilient enough to hear me and to take-in what you are able to.

“I will simply erase your post… I realize the “problem” is in you and not in me…”

egotists in particular do not take criticism well and sometimes display “narcissistic rage” in the face of criticism, they feel the need to be ‘on top’, to have the ultimate and final word, to control others who are perceived as inferior and therefore they can be “justifiably” treated with disdain, used and discarded.
