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.
302. Elena - November 27, 2009 [Edit]
Ames: “A religion like any other in that it uses fear or infatuation to bind the followers.”
Daily Cardiac: As an organization the FoF is fairly difficult to join and very easy to leave. One has to pay money in advance to join and one only has to stop paying money to leave. So I don’t know the binding you speak of. I have not been in fear for even one hour since I joined. Infatuation usually does not last for 39 years (and counting, for some individuals). If it does it is not infatuation.
Elena: How would you know the binding that Ames speaks of when you are the binder and have no distance from your self? How can you look at your back without the consciousness of your shadow? You have not been in fear because you acted out without malice but we are so sick in our times that we do not need malice to throw up demons. We are victims of our own inventions and are using our power to destroy each other instead of helping our selves to freedom. Infatuation lasts lifetimes when you’re in power because the false ego doesn’t want to give up the power and that’s what you’re under. !——
What are you saying, that there is no true way? Truth be told there is one true way and many false ways, and the ones who look the hardest for it are the ones to find the true way. The FoF claims it’s place as a true esoteric school of awakening, in the tradition of similar schools from past ages. It claims nothing more, nothing less.
Faith is necessary in the spiritual quest, not blind faith, but faith based on what is understood in the reality of the moment.
Elena: LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, the System is not based on faith but verification.—-
LIAR, YOU’RE ALL LIARS AND YOU’RE BEING LIED TO. EACH MEMBER INSIDE, LISTEN WELL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE SYSTEM. THIS IS A FOUL LIE AND CORRUPTION OF THE SYSTEM.——-
I’m not defending my position any more than you are defending yours. If you could see that it would represent a breakthrough that would find you on the threshold of a real discussion. Also, the knowledge of what the FoF is is unassailable. One only has to be open to it to see that.
They do not need me to defend their works. They allow me to write here as they allow you to.
