If this is fake news to you? Start questioning politics of your belonging…

If this does not make any sense to you, try removing the politics of your belonging and see if you can find your personal spirituality. Individual human strength has often been discouraged by our politically influenced governing systems. This is because, when governance becomes challenging, authorities tend to resort to politically conforming traditions, customs, rituals, and enforced rules. If the population is conditioned from an early age, they do not question political authority. Thus, the real issue is not whether there is a God or not, but rather the politics of belonging that shape or hinder the individual. Reducing human beings to genetically programmed creatures like bees or ants is detrimental not only to the individual but also to the communities or groups they belong to, as they ultimately suffer in the long run. Our history is filled with examples of various religious beliefs, sects, and the rise and fall of empires and governing systems.

Human societies have experimented with different forms of governance, from kingdoms to democracies and everything in between. We have even attempted to involve and use God as a political entity in our religions. Despite humanity’s experiences with communism, socialism, and religion as governing systems, each has carried its own forms of injustice. Thus, any governing system that benefits some but not all is spiritually inadequate. Today, in an era that values equal human rights, democracy is the closest to aligning with spiritual values. Socialism, communism, and political religions may appear noble and spiritual, but in practice, they often contradict the principles of spirituality and equal human rights. Many people, despite their religious teachings, vote for conservative and Republican candidates due to deep-seated bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination. The problem is that our ancient prejudicial religious beliefs hinder us from truly embracing the notion of equality.

When it comes to equal human rights, individual-to-individual relationships might work well, but when it involves individuals versus corporations, nations, or religions, the political system often falls apart, especially in terms of spirituality. True spiritual equality means equality in every context—whether between individuals or between individuals and larger entities like corporations, nations, or religions. You cannot attach injustice to God.

If one works hard and smart, they should reap the rewards of their efforts. Viewed through a just governing system, all corporations, groups, nations, and religions become like individuals. They need resources to function smoothly, which is where taxes come into play. If we establish honest reciprocation as the foundation of our governing systems and all human relationships, things could work out well. Otherwise, the struggle will continue indefinitely, as it has in the past. If you feel taxes are unfair, it might be because you view them from a different perspective. Spiritually, we all have personal responsibilities to reciprocate. If you are born to experience and enjoy life, what are you contributing in return? You live with the benefit of oxygen; just as your parents helped you, God helps you because you rely on external factors to experience life. Even if you do not believe in God, nature provides for you, as you have no control over your next breath. Therefore, you do not simply exist without giving anything back. What are you doing for God or nature in return for all the help you receive? It is a human responsibility to reciprocate. Since God or nature does not need anything physical, if someone prays for help, how do you think God will assist them without your help? You are given the autonomy to decide how to reciprocate for your blessings. Often, this involves paying it forward by taking responsibility for fulfilling the prayers of those in need. Taxes, in my view, are a system set up to aid those in need. If you are born in a city with all kinds of conveniences and security, you have a responsibility to contribute to these services. Similarly, you have a spiritual duty to reciprocate for the free oxygen, functioning body, and favorable conditions that allow you to live a human life.

You may say that you don’t believe in God, so you should live as you wish. However, if you benefit from life’s blessings and have no control over what keeps you alive, it is spiritually troubling to carry burdens or debts, including to God. Viewing taxes as reciprocation might shift your perspective, as inner peace is closely related to a debt-free and reciprocated life. Although many religious structures are adorned with grand buildings, human populations nearby may suffer from hunger, poverty, and disease. Remember, God lives through human physicality and does not need physical buildings; it is often political beneficiaries who misuse these buildings for personal gain or to hide illicit activities.

Religions have politicized spirituality with a carrot-and-stick approach, using concepts like heaven and hell to instill fear and greed. However, humans are not animals, and such tactics are ineffective. Despite thousands of years of religious teachings, societies with high crime rates present a spiritual contradiction to their political ideologies. Wars are fought as if killing each other will bring one closer to heaven, destroying God’s work. Pure spirituality, based on honest reciprocation, allows one to see beyond the politics of belonging. Removing these politics will help reveal the true spiritual picture. By understanding honest reciprocation while alive, you can avoid the fear of hell and greed for heaven, embracing responsibilities with a CEO-like perspective that recognizes how politics of belonging erode personal spirituality. You will understand how political belonging demands reliance on groups for security, despite the logical understanding that true security is unattainable.

Religious paths are often based on the unknown. Just as a cell inside the body cannot comprehend the whole body, we can only make assumptions about what keeps us alive. Yet we fight over these assumptions. We should question why this is happening. If you do not question because of political allegiance, you must dig within to understand yourself. Consider yourself as a cell in an arm; while you belong to the arm, the arm belongs to the body. Similarly, you belong to the whole body, or in a broader sense, to God. If you sever the arm from the body, the body survives, but if the body dies, the arm cannot. By questioning and removing the politics of belonging, you can uncover the truth and prevent it from consuming your personal spirituality. You will see how politics of belonging robs individual spirituality and self-esteem.

Like a modern cell phone with undiscovered features, we may not fully understand our own abilities. If we do not explore them, it does not mean they are absent. Similarly, understanding yourself requires going beyond current scientific limitations and exploring the unknown. Our scientific knowledge, though extensive, cannot fully explain the origins of the universe or our existence. We must continue to explore and evolve. Religions may serve to slow us down and adapt to the pace of evolution safely. By stopping exploration, we defy the divine order. We must ask ourselves why and how we live with trillions of cells and bacteria only to die.

If you don't want to venture into the realm of assumptions, simply accept the reality that we do not know everything and continue exploring. Dismissing one another stems from a lack of complete knowledge; therefore, we should view human potential collectively or as a species. The politics of group affiliation have cost countless lives and caused significant damage. It's time to explore and understand who and what you truly are. Remember, each individual carries their own atom of autonomy, which allows them to exercise free will and a personal sense of justice. You must make sense of the confusion that has surrounded you for so long. According to your nature, you are responsible for your actions, regardless of your political affiliations. While communities and belief systems are important, humanity as a whole is crucial. Our nature indicates that we are not solely physical beings; we also embody a mini-God-like identity. Understanding what lies beyond our physicality is both a personal and individual responsibility. The concept of God is neutral, providing everything necessary for life and functioning. Coming into existence means entering the realm of God, where you use your free will to choose your actions. Good or bad cannot manifest unless an individual brings it to life. If you set aside politics, you will realize that neither God nor the Devil is responsible for your actions; it is you who has the power to translate good and bad into physical reality. Unlike worker bees or warrior ants, humans cannot attribute every action to divine forces.

My blog does not promote any specific religious belief, nationalism, racism, gender bias, prejudice, or discrimination. On the contrary, I advocate for equal human rights, spirituality over religion, and individual over group politics. I recognize our current level of evolution, with nearly two hundred nations, many of which struggle to maintain cohesion. I believe that it is not the politics of group affiliations, but rather the inherent weaknesses of individuals that cause our struggles. If you are born in today's world, take a moment to assess where you truly stand. Consider how the politics of belonging have manipulated you and why you allow it to continue despite your inherent qualities. Ask yourself why you can't overcome these political constraints. Why can't you embrace your God-given CEO status? Why can’t you address issues directly? What prevents you from using your free will and personal sense of justice? Is it your loyalty to your race, color, gender, nation, or religion? Why can't you reject the political jargon that limits your potential? Remember, those opposing your personal power are merely other individuals, including yourself. They lack the authority to make decisions for you. You possess your own atom of autonomy. As I have consistently stated, individual weaknesses are our fundamental problem, allowing groups to create prejudiced and discriminatory entities. Neither God nor nature is responsible for this; the solution lies in acknowledging and using the powers within you. Your atom of autonomy grants you free will and a personal sense of justice, teaching you to give and receive equal human rights. Remember two basic spiritual principles: Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself or your loved ones, and always consider how you would feel on the receiving end of your actions before committing them. If you wouldn’t want to be in that situation, it is a spiritual crime, regardless of what your group or religion advocates.

Despite its imperfections, modern democracy is the closest governing system to one that aligns with spiritual principles. The days of kingdoms, imperialism, communism, socialism, or religious governance are either long gone or numbered. Today, you can believe in whatever you choose, but you cannot infringe upon another's human rights. Remember to place yourself in others' shoes. Regardless of your group's or religion's stance, you are responsible for your actions. You cannot attribute your or your group's injustices to God. Even if religious leaders preach politically motivated injustices, it is contrary to God's will, and following such teachings constitutes a spiritual crime.

If everyone is discussing fake news, it should not be surprising given our history of political disputes and violence. Religions, with their thousands of variations, have all labeled others as false. According to my research, there are still around 4,200 active religions in the world. Unfortunately, our differences continue to lead to violence. If politics of belonging were not involved, religious beliefs would retain their spiritual essence, and we would not be killing each other over differing opinions. Let me be clear: I am not dismissing religions as fake news; my issue lies with the politics of group affiliation, which distorts and corrupts the spiritual content of religious beliefs.

To me, just as God is one and universal, so too are humanity, the individual, and their spirituality. When politics of belonging are placed above spirituality, they become political rather than spiritual. This turns all spiritual intentions into mere political actions. You cannot make God a political entity without distorting His nature. Doing so makes you a political puppet. Since our current knowledge cannot physically prove God's existence or make God manifest repeatedly, we should not go to war over our evolving understanding. Remember, a person who genuinely believes in their religion’s spiritual content and lives an honest life can lead a better life than those who believe in nothing at all.

The struggle between truth and falsehood has persisted throughout history, and as long as human insecurities exist, so will politics. Wherever politics is involved, fake news or politically tainted misinformation will follow. It has never been about God or religion, but rather about political belonging and individual weaknesses. These weaknesses prevent people from handling the responsibilities of truth, especially when manipulated by political forces. This issue extends beyond religious politics; political fake news pervades all areas of life. If you don't believe in God, you may also find it difficult to believe in Love, Compassion, Bravery, Sacrifice, Honesty, and Personal Sense of Justice—qualities that define humanity. If you miss out on these spiritual aspects, you lose what makes life meaningful, regardless of its mortal nature. If you can believe in these virtues but not in God, I challenge you to consider why you accept these values but reject the concept of God.

Let’s examine it from a different perspective. Do we have a say in our own lives, or are we merely following a path influenced by our individual life stories? This question is a significant source of division among people, both individually and collectively. Our relationships often seem like a complex mixture shaped by our belonging groups. For example, our religions might dictate that a person has all the power and say in their own life, while simultaneously suggesting that God designs and enforces how life should be lived. To me, this represents a major contradiction and a weak point in the argument about whether we truly have control over our lives.

The concept of individual importance is closely tied to what I describe as an "atom of autonomy." Although we rely on many factors beyond our control, such as oxygen, a functioning body, and favorable life circumstances, we all possess this atom of autonomy. It’s our role to act as the CEOs of our lives. Problems arise when our belonging groups interfere and undermine our individual importance for political reasons. Our insecurities are often rooted in the education provided by these groups. Consequently, our sense of loyalty and hormonal influences create powerful circumstances where even the strongest individuals fall victim to politics.

Politics based on group belonging is often the root cause of many disputes and conflicts. Individual strength is the antidote, yet many belonging groups work against it. Even today, in an era of human enlightenment, significant gaps remain where individual strength is needed. The political education of groups affects everything from personal relationships to interactions between individuals and God. All relationships suffer due to politically tainted education, so reforming this education can yield positive results. Today’s era is ripe for such change because humanity is increasingly accepting and respecting equal individual rights—a phenomenon not seen in recorded history. As we evolve, groups still cling to outdated notions of belonging rather than embracing humanity as a whole. If we continue to advance towards accepting equal human rights, but our groups resist and maintain old practices, they will become vulnerable and collapse, as individual strength can easily erode their integrity.

In my view, most relationship failures can be attributed to three basic issues: insecurities related to lack of trust and control, the primal urge to dominate others, and the lack of equal and honest reciprocation. Belonging groups often preach dependency for political reasons, causing individuals to seek belonging and forfeit their personal power. While the power of numbers still influences conservative groups, modern technology has changed this dynamic. Being part of a strong group no longer guarantees anything, and understanding modern-day challenges is crucial. In personal relationships, if one or more people are insecure, they are likely to experience control and trust issues. If everyone is insecure, the mutual need for dependency may facilitate coexistence despite problems. However, dependency should not be the primary reason for staying together, as it can lead to destruction when circumstances change.

In earlier eras, being dominant was advantageous, but today, we rely on our "big brother"—the government—to provide protection. We can no longer rely solely on our primal instincts; we must confront our inner demons to navigate modern society successfully. With the end of slavery and the condemnation of animalistic behavior, dominating others can backfire. As we no longer live in caves or jungles, we must adapt to social norms of our current era. Failing to understand both your nature and societal rules may result in inappropriate behavior, which can lead to failed relationships and social issues. Adjusting to societal expectations is essential to avoid negative consequences.

Honest reciprocation is another critical issue. Societal education often emphasizes profit—spending less and gaining more—which can undermine the success of modern relationships. If everyone adhered to this philosophy, parents would not provide for their children, and children would not support their parents. This mindset robs honest reciprocation of its spiritual value. Honest reciprocation is a fundamental human trait, present from birth, and it is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. Political education can erode this trait, leading to a lack of genuine connection. Understanding and practicing honest reciprocation can enhance relationships, as opposed to viewing them through a lens of transactional profit.

You have your atom of autonomy within you. God does not judge you; you are responsible for your own judgments and actions. Spiritual values like honest reciprocation are vital aspects of a well-evolved individual. If you seek to use people and God for personal gain, you become a puppet of political agendas, just as your group might teach you. By focusing on genuine, supportive interactions, you can build successful relationships that benefit both parties involved.
