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.

Crouching Tiger on Ames


137. Crouching Tiger - September 17, 2009

Interesting article Ames. In the terms of the article, it’s almost as if Elena helped pass on the ‘virus’ of the idea of taking some kind of legal action based on the Blog to you! Funny how these things happen – an idea is planted repeatedly in the subconscious of the group, then comes to fruition through someone else in that group, not the apparent originator.

Hi Crouching Tiger,
You may have a point (#82-137), but the credit must go to Walter Tanner (#7 and 8 on this page), who researched and pointed out the Baylor study. When I read that, I realized it provided an answer and a direction that had been lacking.


You nailed it there Crouching Tiger but he can't admit it because he'd have to give me credit which is what he didn't want to do from the moment he asked the moderator to ban me when he banned itstwinetime. Then he connects to Walter as if Walter had had no influence! It's what I meant when I said that what's fascinating is that the issues continue to live their life out no matter in who's voice and that's what is beautiful! Ames is much better equipped to take that part of the journey home and I'm very glad he's working on it. It's sad that he had to "steal" rather than "receive" but the few that acknowledged the gift have already compensated me much more than I could have expected and the fact that the understanding has been passed on is more than enough to hang up the coat.


This whole mess isn't very pretty is it? It's tempting to stop reading the blog and let it go it's own way so that I'm not reminded of the absurdity and the injustice but I find the exploration so fascinating at the same time. 


The difficulty is that a form of love has been lost and without it the inspiration is weak. On the other hand, a form of identification with the public has also been lost and there's something very positive about that.
