the sacred vs the profane



What we are seeing today in the world, our world, is the conflict between the sacred world and the profane world. The sacred world of the Orient versus the profane world of the Occident. A world ruled by the laws of God and a world ruled by the laws of men. In the Occident, we slowly moved out from the rules of the Church and separated the religion from the state. We then killed God, sort to speak, and put ourselves in his place. Founding our societies on constitution and the chief of the state being elected by men and representing men. In contrary we see, mainly in the Middle-East, now the exact contrary with the rise of extremist islam. The state and religion are two sides of the same coin. They claim that the states have to be based on God's law and not on men's rule. God speaks and men follow without opposition because who can oppose God's will. Who's there to say that God's words are to be contested. Who can claim to be above God. 
I think the rise of extremism in religion and the fact that a lot of occidentals are fighting next to the jihadists is due on one part to, what I explain in a previous post, the emptiness of the soul created by a society not only based on consumerism but who value consumption like the new religion. Secondly, because men killed God, he's in charge of his own destiny, he's responsible for his own happiness, he has to decide what's good and what's not, it became arbitrary. Reality and normality became arbitrary, and anything and everything is possible. Some can navigate well in this chaos, some rise above, some just follow without thinking, but some are lost. They search for a meaning of life that disappear with the end of God. They want to be guided without doubt and the only concept that can guide you without doubt is dogma in religion. Because as I said, who are we, as simple human, to question the words of God ?
Two worlds are face to face, one that is ready to sacrifice it's own people in the name of power and money and the other one is ready to sacrifice it's own people in the name of God. 
Of course, I can't agree with the islamist extremism as a human and as a woman. Extremism is never good. But we're going nowhere either way. 

I believe in balance. We have to find a way in the middle. Go back to the source. Find our truth. Turn within. Oblivious but aware. 
Spirituality by it's essence can't impose itself on others. With spirituality comes acceptance and tolerance for what is different. Spirituality is love and not terror, spirituality is sharing and not possessing. 
So the idea is to keep the spirit, keep believing in a better world, keep doing what's right and what's good. Keep spreading love. 1 love. Step by step, moment to moment. From now to now. Conscious and aware. Peaceful creator of a new world order, all in our own way. All pieces of a bigger picture that we can't yet see. All necessary to the whole.
