ABOUT UNQUESTIONABILITY
WHAT SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS and POWER LOVING TEACHINGS DO NOT HAVE IN COMMON:
Violence is a most stupid argument. A Philosopher does not consider belief or unbelief a problem.
No reason not to be a friend of, or to kill someone.
Spiritual teachings pre-existed Abraham tradition and the streams of Monotheism.
From the ancient times of civilization, the wisdom of Lao Tzu ( (604 - 531 BC ), of Buddha (around 563 BC- 483 BC), of Socrates (460-429 BC), previous to Judaism, Catholicism or the Islam, all have shown that simple awareness (in particular spiritual self awareness), not subjugating power, brings out the potential understanding and natural order to the mind and relationships.
Questions may be the very way to tap within for spiritual self awareness, all knowledge and self knowledge.
The repression of questioning leads to fanatism and tyranny. The moment you create an unquestionable authority you also create hell.
The tragic comedy of unreasoning, unquestioning beliefs, is that all opposing parties consider themselves to be the heroes, the martyrs and who send each other literally to hell, in the slaugter of the so called 'holy' wars, which have nothing of holy, from the point of view of love and intelligence.
Is unquestioning, indiscriminate submission, convenient for the world today? Has it ever been?
Abraham's willingness not to question, but to kill even his own son, out obedience to whom he considered God, is revered in all ramifications of this Monotheistic tradition.
Abraham has set out the example of the way of relationship of blind obedience, even in a crime, to religious authority.
To have faith in an ultimate justice is good, but can there be justice without love, without spiritual discernment??
This lack of discrimination venerated until today as sacred, combined with different interpretations and ramifications belief, have caused the most absurd and horrific violence, injustice, crime in human history: those committed and justified in name of God.
Since then, distancing itself from the compassion and understanding of the Spirituality or Eternal philosophy; systems of Belief
crumble now before those who have eyes to see, when the fruits of pride of power and the blind submission (even in a crime), come to the light:
The never ending bloodbaths we see (here also on Canvas TV) these times.
Little has humanity learned from its bloody history because horrors have even been justified by these Monotheistic religions and as said before, to project our prejudices on others or on what is, and want no discussion, is the main cause of disruption in any relationship, the source of all darkness, all hopeless conflicts in relationships.
Abraham could have stopped and asked himself if he could trust anyone or any spirit as just and good, who would order him to murder anyone, in particularly, an innocent child. Then history would have perhaps had a much better turn.
But it is never too late.
The future starts now and it starts with you.
Before true peace and understanding can reign between any of us, there must be a revolution, as said Krishnamurti, which is truly intelligent. As solving of differences peacefully, through meditation, awareness and dialogue, not mentally or physically as brute dinosaurs.
Only through the consciousness of love one can see the beauty of Nature and the ugliness and stupidity of vanity, of greed, arrogance, also in the animals, which to the immature mind is so 'cool'.
Only love is just and no prophet and guru, savior, holy book or anyone one has beaten love yet.
