Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. Humans should hold it up in their hands every single day of their lives and say from the deepest fathoms of their soul β βI am free β to think β to speak β to act β the way a real, novel, civilized being should β my ancestors couldnβt, but I can, and my children willβ.
In the world of so-called civilized and intelligent humans, there are only two accepted ways to see religion - one is the way of the believer, and the other is the one of the non-believer. But there is a third way - the way of the real religious person - the way of the real scientist - the way of the real yogi. It is the way where you see religion as it is, that is, an organized structure which helps people go through their daily life with as little hitch as possible. And as such, every organized structure has its pros and cons.
If I can provide something good to you, then take it, and use it in your life, but do not ever attempt to impose me on others as their path to salvation, for humans are their own path to salvation. Books of thinkers and teachers can be the help in that salvation, but never the drivers of that salvation.
We are manipulating machine intelligence, and in the process, we have forgotten to effectively utilize the true potential of our own mind, let alone focus on improving the mind. We are developing artificial intelligence and have forgotten to develop our own psyche.
There is no time to waste. Every second is precious. Either you have fun with your life and let your descendants suffer, or you chose to take responsibility of what happens to this world, and give your descendants the stable and beautiful environment in which they can grow and flourish.
The only way we can grow is to recognize the shortcomings of today, take actions to mend them tomorrow and make them history the day after tomorrow.
The world has loads of human bodies to relentlessly want for more and more despite having all. What the world lacks are real human beings, with veins of steel and heart of honey.
Awake, Arise and start working - start working for your people - your kind - your humans - for you are a human being above all tribal labels.
