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.

Robert Burton and X chromosome

And even more interesting, the same findings may apply to human men with Klinefelter's Syndrome, who are genetically XXY, as opposed to the typical chromosome patterns of XY for males and XX for females. The findings were published in the latest issue of the journal Hormone and Behavior.
"Whether this is a specific phenomenon to mice, or even to this particular inbred background strain of laboratory mice, is still an open question, but we did find similar results in two different genetic models of mice," study researcher Paul Bonthuis, told LiveScience's Jennifer Welsh in an interview. "To know how general the finding is to other mammals, one would have to do studies with other mammalian species directly."
In the study, researchers found that males with the extra X female chromosome had nearly insatiable sex drives: They ejaculated nearly twice as much as their typical male counterparts, along with mounting females more frequently, and "showed more pelvic-thrusting motions" during sex.
It has typically been understood that male sex drive is determined by hormone secretion levels, rather than specific genetic makeup. And while those hormone secretions may still play a leading role in the sex drives of men and women, the new research indicates there may be additional factors affecting sexual activity that are still to be determined.
Bonthuis told LiveScience that the researchers are still trying to determine why the extra X chromosome is affecting male sexual behavior. "We do not yet know what gene on the X chromosome is causing this effect on behavior," Bonthuis said. "It is hard to say for certain what the X factor could be, but we do have some likely candidates."
Interesting, human men born with the double X chromosome often suffer from infertility andhypogonadism, aka lower testosterone levels. They are typically taller but with less developed and weaker muscles than the average male.
But a 1997 study on Klinefelter's found these men also reported having more sex than their typical XY male counterparts. Not all men with Klinefelter's display any or all of the above-described traits, however.


Elena:

Interesting that so many people are being born with such tendencies. As if androginity were dawning on us. The problem is not the phenomenon but what individuals do with it.
