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.

El Yo. The Self.



It seems important to clarify the idea that the I in the human being is independent from functions even if it’s difficult to understand that independence. Real I is not thought, feeling, moving or digestion. The sphere of the I is more closely connected to states of consciousness tthan to centers and their functions. “Functions” are conditioned by the state of consciousness that embraces them. The greater the state of consciousness , the greater the control of functions.

In the sphere of the  I, to call it somehow, will, dignity, consciousness, possitive emotions in the superior emotional center and the understanding of the laws that reign over the processes we are living through are included. To conceive one’s self independent from functions is to begin understanding the being rather than the being "this" or "that" way of the human being. The “ser”  and not the “estar”. In spanish the difference is very clear, in english to be is the same for ser or estar but they are two very different dimensions. One is speaking about the being, the other about the state of the being. To be is different to being well or not well. Being is beyond good or bad, well or unwell. Consciousness of the whole does not allow for  polarizationI. It lives itself out in the connectedness of all things. Cosciousness implies responsability and there is no possibility of judging as if that which could have been judged were not a part of one’s own responsability, one’s own self. Compassion as a positive emotion that cannot be turned into its opposite belongs to a state of consciousness in the superior emotional center. Likewise, dignity, humility and grace.
The latter are “qualities” of being and the differences between I, consciousness and superior centers is only in language. They are all, in fact, aspects of Unity.  


El Yo
 Me parece importante aclarar la idea de que el Yo en el ser humano es independiente de las funciones aunque nos sea difícil comprender su independencia. El Yo real no es el pensar, ni el sentir, ni el moverse, ni el digerir alimento. La esfera del yo esta más estrechamente ligada a los estados de consciencia que a los centros y sus funciones. Las “funciones” que realizamos las realizamos condicionados por el estado de consciencia que nos alberga. A mayor estado de consciencia, mayor control sobre nuestras funciones.

La esfera del yo, por llamarla de alguna manera, incluye la voluntad, la dignidad, la conciencia, las emociones positivas del centro emocional superior y la comprensión de las leyes en los procesos que vivimos por mencionar tan solo algunos aspectos. Concebirse independiente de las funciones es empezar a comprender el ser más que el estar del ser humano. “Ser” es distinto a estar bien o mal. El ser está más allá del bien y del mal. La consciencia del “todo” no permite la polarización de las cosas sino su conectividad. En la medida en que se es consciente se es responsable y no existe la posibilidad de “juzgar” como si eso que se juzga no fuese parte integral de la propia responsabilidad. El sufrimiento que implica ser responsable no se experimenta con identificación sino con compasión. Como emoción positiva que no puede ser volteada en un opuesto, la compasión pertenece a un estado de consciencia del centro emocional superior. De igual manera la dignidad, la humildad, la gracia . Estas últimas son cualidades del ser y las diferencias entre el yo, la consciencia y los centros superiores se da tan solo en el lenguaje. Todos son en realidad aspectos de la Unidad.
