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.

Elena-Mourning the last friend - Death and Resurrection



86. Elena - March 21, 2010 [Edit]





And life
Is a never-ending story
That’s its glory
No matter where you stand
It’s infinite
And its infiniteness
Is you
When you stand there and look
From your self
To your self
The Universe within
And each thing by itself
Life renders its taste
We do not taste the life in life
Because we’ve become numb
But we will want to again
After this rain of useless suffering
After this endless void of death
And then each second will come with its music
Each color will own its time
And the dialogue between life and men
Will come to life
When we are
Our selves
Time is space and space is time
And we do not live
Life lives
In us
All suffering is worth
A breath of life
One should not be afraid of suffering
There is nothing greater than suffering
When one can stand there and let it live itself out
Because there is too much suffering out there
That everyone is trying to avoid and we were made
To feed on suffering and till it until it gives life to life
Beyond suffering are other realms
Like beyond Earth: the moon and the Sun, the cosmic pulse
In suffering the reality of our lives
We understand our lives
The suffering our parents gave us tell us about our parent’s, parent’s, parent’s, parent’s suffering
And beyond our parent’s, parent’s, parent’s, parent’s, were our parent’s, parent’s, parent’s, parents
They who are beyond us
are within us
we are the key to our selves
There is a suffering but beyond the suffering there’s love, not love but love, as if love did not need to have a word in its own realm, and when we mention it here we are talking about its realmlessness, until we act it out.
In acting it out, it pours from its own realm into this one, like flowers on a tree and dies after, after the act, like flowers in spring
Each human being is a key to eternity
each act is its door
each connection between us is its home
it pours itself out in the myriadness of our lives
And lives
And lives
And lives
As we die
in its wonder
Fear of suffering is our greatest enemy
We are OURSELVES enough to face all suffering
If we can take it step by step and deal with it
The hunger
The loneliness
The abandonment
The excesses
The mistakes
The faults
The crimes
The whining
The commodities
The sexualities
The laissez faires
The carelessness
The absurdities
The injustices
The crosses
The losses
The abundances
The technologies
The joys
The superficialities
The decadence
The criminalities
The separations
The marriages
The suicides
The homicides
The televisions
The cults
The lawlessness
The happiness
The children
The parents
The friends
The houses
The streets
The Public Squares
The madmen
The women
The men
The children
We can take ourselves and our lives
And live
I can take you
And your absence and
The color of your absence
And still be
By
My
Self
When your absence pours itself out on me
It opens the road to my self
When my presence pours itself out on you
It opens the road to our selves
I do not love you
I am you
Love between us is not an act
But a quality of our being
I do not need to speak you my love
To seek you
Or feel you
I exist in you as you exist in me
For love lives itself out in us
Not as an activity
But as a reality
When you close the door
You do not allow love to exist
It is not I who dies in your life
It’s love what dries out
In yours
Because in me
you live
to eternity
I do not deny you
How could I deny myself?
In my lawlessness
In my painfulness
In my lustfulness
In my wishfulness
I am born to my pain
In my pain I am born
To our selves
We are one
As water is one
And Earth
And light
We are one
As light and darkness
And in the darkness of our lives
We live the light of our deaths
Death is the lips of eternity
Death is the light beyond
Where pain is love
Where love is painless
In dying before dying
We let life live itself out
As it lives itself out
We are freed from our self
And wholeness unifies us
You are right in denying me
So that I die freely
So that I die in the desire
Of our separation
And resurrect in the oneness
Of our being
So that’s what it’s all about!
I see!
May I reach you in the exuberance of gratitude
With graceful suffering.
