When we were hunters and gatherers, we hunted together.
Inclusiveness and living together were the assurance of food and safety.
When we started to settle down with agriculture, and tying up animals near home we accumulated the habit of accumulation.
Survival became less about sharing and more about saving.
We abandoned the thoughts about collective goals and started focusing on personal ones.
Exclusiveness became the assurance of food and safety.
Transaction was invented to moderate the accumulation.
Accumulations that are taken from nature by inflicting abuse.
How much land we have, how many animals we have domesticated.
Now the individual goal was no longer about protecting the tribe, but only about protecting the accumulations.
An insecurity arises from this accumulation. To lose what we have.
From this insecurity sprung the need to be defensive and save our skins from being a victim.
One a fellow hunter, now became a competition. He might not hunt but would certainly murder for food.
The modern world has not come out of this trauma. Studies have shown that trauma can be passed down to the next generation.
We are passing the trauma, the fear of losing out “FOMO” from generation to generation like a chain reaction.
Religion to Spirituality
It is in the most desperate situation man stumbles upon discoveries.
He discovered religion. Something mysterious that guards him against his kind and others.
We are scared of things we don’t understand. Like walking in a pitch-dark room.
Religion was born to honour the phenomenons we don’t understand.
To be in tune with the incomprehensible. We paid the respect.
Respect in the present is fear in the absence. We fear what we respect.
Thankfully religion played a crucial role for the man in search of the man.
The awareness of fear is realised by the one who is afraid. Spirit. Spiritual.
Later religion might have joined the capitalist idea of accumulation, spirituality plays a vital role in human development and evolution.
For ages, spirituality was seen from the frames of religion. But it has now come to an age where humans understand that gods can be replaced.
Brands are the new gods like companies are the new countries in the modern capitalist economy.
The words are now tainted, as they are both bound to fail in fulfilling the things humans find fulfilment in.
Religion could be one path to finding the spiritual essence in life.
If you are hungry for knowledge, you should know who you are.
Everything else is accessible. All the knowledge, scripture and religion itself.
Fulfilment
We own nothing and we owe nothing. Nobody owns anything and nobody owes you anything. You were born with nothing. No name, no clothes, no identity.
There is no competition.
What we need flows to us in a mysterious way. If it does not, we should be courageous enough to accept the fate.
This fate comes from realising that thoughts are the accumulations, myriad displays of the ego.
We as humanity have come to the point where we should reconcile the fact that individualism has to be honoured.
One should find the existential flow within to understand that he is one with everyone.
Spirituality starts with the question “What I am willing to let go?”.
Not, “What will I get”
It\’s time not to create something in the middle of you is your fear.
An idea like religion does not diminish the fear, to get rid of the fear you have to face the fear and go towards it.
With this realisation, you become more of a creator and less of a consumer.
You no longer rely on religiously buying from the demigod called brands.
The fulfilment of being with yourself becomes the offering to this world.
Your being becomes the service.
This says a lot about us and our relationship with the world.
Nutshell
Go towards your fear, face it.
Know yourself.
Be in service to others.
