Most people think they are “one”. This pattern of thinking could be dangerous, for we are not “one” at all, instead, we are rather like “Clockwork Orange”, a multitude of parts and clogs, which are constantly in conflict with each other. And how can conflicts be resolved if we are not even aware of them?

One could say that it doesn’t matter, that, as long as we are in peace with ourselves, we don’t have to bother ourselves with our internal machinery. “Make Peace, no War”. But remember Cold War? And think of Israel and Palestine. Can the peace, achieved by constant threat of violent retaliation be really called “peace”? It sure has a practical meaning to ordinary people, who are not interested in politics, and just want to get on with their living, rather than become victims of “collateral damage”, but then again, if You think of human psychology, the issues which are not addressed do not go away, they just grow internally, and become more violent outwardly.

It is important what we think and how we express our thinking outwardly. It is good to know that there are still some people in this world who think differently and take delight in sharing it with others… even if we don’t agree with their views or find them obvious or boring hehehehe…

Allow me then, without further ado, to present one of those differently speaking people, taking delight in being so:

We get so brain washed by media, propaganda at work, laws, supermarkets… that it is very easily to forget who we actually are…and who we want to be. There is a huge conflict here. In order to be a “good person” we have to serve our society well. And in order to do that, we have to embrace all that society is, warts, taxes, laws and government propaganda and all. But I think many of us do want to be a “good person”, but not necessarily want to be who their Government wants them to be. There is very deep, and spiritual, and religious, conflict of interests here. Even thinking of Jesus story, he never rebelled against his government, he lovingly accepted its each decision, no matter how costly it was to him. But he openly spoke out, shared his thoughts and feelings with others, not as a rebel or government opposition, but as one human sharing human experience with another human.

Fragmenting ourselves is very important me thinks. As the YouTube video indicates, there is at least 2 of “us”: one person who says “You shouldn’t really”.. and the other who says “Oh.. go ahead anyway! You deserve it this time!”… And having a 3rd person, who laughs at the nonsensical negotiating dialogues between those 2 is within anybody’s reach.

Without being split into multiple personalities, You have NOBODY to turn to when there are internal problems. Also, the more parts of yourself You can identify as not being “You” but just a part of the machinery, the more You start to lose the sense of “I” and gain the sense of “all is one”…

It is simple. Scientists started to discover God by breaking parts of the machinery, by identifying the smaller and smaller parts of it until they run out of parts they could identify or break apart.

And I believe religious people, truly religious people, always tried to connect those little parts into some kind of science, Buddhism and yoga being a prime example here, not as much as blind religion, but rather the method of living one’s life. Studied and described with scientific approach and consistency.

So scientists and religious people meet “half way”, not as a truce in the warring realm, but because they are both circling around the same light bulb… Both were attracted to the marvel of this realm, the unbelievable being obvious, and therefore very difficult to prove intellectually.

And any intellectual proof is not a proof at all. It is just means to pacifying our border controls, turning our firewalls off, so the content can slip through our biological passport controls in order so it can come to attention of our inner self which can then examine it. And then the decision can be made. And even if it is a wrong one, at least our inner self can learn from its mistakes. Most of the times it doesn’t have a chance for growth, for most of the teaching messages are blocked before they can even reach it.
