          Alienation of Consciousness

          Just as life is not the creation of any agency that societies have formed as part of their reasoning, so too is the essential human mind mind. If life must be lived to its full potentialities, it must be lived in relationship with the System of Life that has been responsible for life on this planet. That means no human agency should be allowed to vitiate the sacred relationship that the mind has with the System of Life. This is because human consciousness must be tempered with the relationship it has with the System of Life as the best expression of the mind, its culture, is possible in relationship with it. As civilizations progress people promote many agencies which alienate the mind from the System, and the root cause for this conquest of consciousness is the projection of divinity in their crafts by the religions. If religions are

"Men, serve your Lord, who has created you and those who have gone before you, so that you may guard yourselves against evil; who has made the earth a bed for you and the sky a dome, and has sent down water from the sky to bring forth fruits for your sustenance." (‘The Koran’:2.21) "Eat and drink of that which God has provided and do not foul the land with evil…” (‘The Koran’ 2:60)

meant to promote spirituality they should rather hammer home into each and every mind the necessity of retaining the relationship with the System of Life. That was what the prophets tried to do in their attempts to salvage humanity form the pits of faiths. The alienation even leads to another problem that affects the sanity of the System of Life on this planet as people become irresponsible to the System that supports life. Yet, all are carried away by the snake and ladder stories dished out by the religions and this is the greatest sign of idiocy that has afflicted humanity. The net result of this alienation can be seen in the wars that religions prompt, and the present civilization that has arisen out of this alienation itself that has become a threat to the System of Life.

          Agencies that interfere in the dispensation of spirituality have negative influences on life as all such agencies are the products of parochial reasoning just like the religions that make spirituality parochial. The alienation of consciousness worked by the religions facilitates the conquest of life and it’s System by these agencies, the very agencies that are the products of the alienation consciousness itself. Since the mind is subject to reasoning guidance must come from the religions that are meant to guide people in the expression of spirituality. This is where the religions that promote divinity in their own crafts fail. Though nobody has the moral authority to project any intermediary between the self and the System of Life these religions have assumed moral authority over life with their own faiths. The result of this is the loss of love for the living human beings that we see all over the world. The segregation of humanity on the basis of faiths deny human dignity to all as all these faiths enforce reliance upon alien factors for the management of life. The religious and caste hatred that faiths promote have been the greatest cause of violence against humanity all the times – manslaughter of the masses. Their faiths are expressions of blasphemy as they abuse life itself.

          Since nothing in the world works on the basis of faiths that religions preach what they breed is ignorance - ignorance that is dangerous to life on this planet. The System of Life, the Truth, is the embodiment of Supreme Knowledge and absence of knowledge is ignorance. Religious have no authority over Truth as it is not the product of any faith. All that faith can do is cause some psycho-somatic (of mind and body) exercise that is possible due to the composition of the human personality. But, even if nobody’s faith can move even a leaf, people are clinging to their faiths and killing others to assert the validity of their faiths. Thus religions make many the executioners of humanity. That is the wonder of faith.

Faith acts against life at two levels.

Cannibalism, Eating Babies

5 May 2004. A Chicago laboratory has helped create five healthy babies for using them as stem-cell donors. The  infants from different families were screened and selected when they were still embryos to make sure they could be used as donors. The babies suffered from leukemia or a rare and potentially lethal anemia.

1) It promotes parochialism that does great damage to human consciousness.
2) The alienation of consciousness from the System of Life makes possible all nefarious activities that even affect the sanity of the System of Life.

          These faith-religions have been counter-productive in the expression of spirituality because spirituality always requires our conscious efforts not to violate the System of God as we are prone to reasoning. Degradation of consciousness happens due to the false and silly propaganda that all sins would be condoned by the God of their faiths if they confine themselves to their religious crafts. This actually breeds irresponsible living that even leads to psychic delusions. Paranoia and monomania that drive many to war are due to this psychic alienation. Consequently, the majority of the people all over the world are leading rather unconscious life as they are not aware of the impacts of their lifestyles on the System of Life. The present civilization that has become a burden to the ecology is the result of the alienation from the System of Life. Thus, when religions reduce themselves to faiths alone, what they breed is moral and physical corruption everywhere.

          The impacts of the alienation from the System of Life are dreadful, and all the problems that the world faces today are due to the work of these religions - all due to the betrayal or rather swindling of humanity by the faith-based religions. The net result of this encroachment into consciousness by faith-degraded religions is the disappearance of love that makes life frightful. Since religious faiths are outside the jurisdiction of the System of Life it cannot generate love as it can be had only for the components of the System of Life. Though what these religions trade are just Kindergarten stories, the followers of these religions consider them as the mark of identity of their religions and their culture.

          Faith in God should mean faith in the System of Life, not faith in the products of faiths. "This present life is like the rich garment with which the earth adorns itself when watered by the rain we send down from the sky. Crops, sustaining man and beast, grow luxuriantly: but, as its tenants begin to think themselves its masters, down comes Our Scourge upon it, by night or in broad day, laying it waste, as though it did not blossom but yesterday. Thus do we make plain Our revelations to thoughtful men." (‘The Koran’ 10:24) When the mind takes cognizance of the Truth, the Reality, consciousness gets upgraded due to the enlightenment that is in the System of Life. All rituals that religions insist upon are just superficial to the expression of spirituality. Despite the attempts by prophets again and again to assert the sacred relationship that the self has with the Reality, religions push people into pits of darkness as they give importance to faiths that have no place in the world of Reality. Faith is not a solution for the problems in life; on the other hand faith creates problems. We have to get out of faiths to make life safe.
