We are fed so much in the name of faith, that sometimes I’ve to learn from Japanese monk, empty the cup of your doubts, even that of your faith, so you may know, which one is which.
When I think of monks now, I think of Japan. It is true, cleanliness is half the Japan. And I love Japan. I see the reflection of Jesus in it.
So I have learned that learn a lesson from people who practically follow it. If there’s anything of faith, that’s about cleanliness, I’d go to Japan to learn it. If there’s anything of faith, that’s about fragrance, I’d go to France to learn it. And likewise, hospitality from Canada, philosphy from Europe, Spirituality from… if I’ll say it you won’t believe me, but I do learn spirituality from lady liberty.
There are places that wear the facade of spirituality and faith but when it comes to practice I see faith be deplored and despised on every corner. I’ve seen people of false faith, claiming to be so glorious in their beliefs, kissing the hands and feet of spiritual leaders much lower in ranks, tribal leaders who have little part to play in national or humanitarian progress. And let them both rule over them, dictate and translate for them because those on the top, the guardians, let that happen. Coincidentally I found these places lacking diversity, especially of faith. A clear indicator that spirituality is lacking.
True faces of spirituality exists in richer Noah’s ships all across the world, where one religion is never dominant. I keep quoting the example of Japan for a reason. We never heard the Shinto or Buddhists create problems for each other because they do live in beautiful harmony. It is almost impossible to pin point whether it is the role of religious harmony or national policies that makes Japan, one of the most pleasant travel destinations of all times.
Don’t be deluded by facades, pretense, you have faith where you have, in your heart. In countries that are hard-lining religion are only adding more woes to their own future. Places that became enemies of science, Christanity, where cousins marry cousins, and their wit was beaten twice by teachings of their own religion.
We know now that the more distant relation, the better the fruit, it literally effects your intellectual level, so when Christanity told the tales of Zues, Hercules and mother of mothers, turns out the distance between heaven and Earth did pay out. It was paid out in the form of a document, not a person. The person, story, the phenomena was not just taking place among the humans but across all spheres. What we inherently carry, eventually comes out.
That document is sacred, follow that document, it is not religious, not liberal not conservative, it is purely human and for mankind. For me it seems like all that humanity has fought for, all our spaces have converged into a human will, that piece of document is that will so why do we need any faith?
Yes, we do, until toxic affects of false teachings are washed away, we do need the Vatican to keep functioning. Improvement and change however speaks outloud on its face, and pontifical secrecy, amendment in Lord’s prayer, and everything that Pope Frances carried out, was not without courage cause I can imagine the peer pressure and gravity of it, courage but paves way. To do the same thing in false religion, it takes ages what Christanity did in mere five years, since the new Pope was ordained.
We trust the leadership of Pope and advise the hardliners of religion to have mercy on their people. I’m the one getting away, the one coming, will be a different story. The sun that sets in the East, always rises from the West.
In every nation, I see a father praying for a good and well being for his child, as the head of the family, but where I see those prayers it work were nation, that traverse closely to 10X3 Document, places where religions are not a curse. Where responsible hands forge nations, and their future.
