You Are Your Own God And Saviour!

In the ancient time people looked up in the sky and waited for Gods to come and save them from natural calamities and dangerous situations. They thought and believed that Gods from above would descend to rescue them from all kinds of evils in the society. It seemed that Gods didn't listen to their prayers and didn't come down to save them from dangers and still people continue to believe in Gods. When Gods didn't come down in chariots to rescue them, they thought Gods were angry and so they performed many ritualistic sacrifices, penance and fasting, yet their Gods wouldn't come to deliver them. Finally people who expected Gods to save them died believing that they would enter into heavens and be with Gods on the right hand side.

This phenomena is still not finished yet. Those who profess their faith in Gods and are the followers of some religions today are still waiting for Gods to descend and deliver them from all kinds of diseases and dangers. Some humans prayed and offered sacrifices so much that they became very religious as a result many people were moved by their godly characteristics and began to take them as Gods from above. Some even called such religious people as sons and daughters of Gods sent from above to deliver the mankind. These people too didn't succeed in delivering people from the evils and died a mortal death. But people were so hungry and thirsty for Gods that they made them alive and believed that their Gods would come again as promised by the scriptures, prophets and sages.

Until now not even a single God has come down from heaven to deliver the mankind from poverty, recession, hyper inflation, deflation, unemployment, sickness, injustice, wars and death. If there were Gods according to the understanding of believers, Gods would have certainly descended to redeem people from bondage and sufferings. Why do people think that Gods are up above the sky and He/She will descend in chariots to save the world?

Gods can never save and deliver people because they are very busy creating the multi-universes. Today you are your own God and saviour so you must save and protect yourself from all kinds of dangers. Don't ever expect that Gods from above will deliver you from lions' dens. It is a wrong perception that has misled people to believe in Gods which no longer exist in a way that majority of humans know and understand.

I am sure, even the governments are not gods who can't deliver us from depression, recession, hyper inflation, deflation and bad economy. The big institutes like Banks, FED, IMF, World Bank, NASA, UN and many other organizations too won't come to your rescue when depression or recession strikes you. The recession has hit people all over the world since 2007 and now 2011 is coming soon. The economic condition will not improve so quickly as people think because there is nobody out there to take into account the ordinary citizens of the world. The governments or banks won't deliver us because they are too not gods but they act like gods here on earth and the ignorant people believe them to be their saviours.

The real and true God is you the individual being. You have everything you need to keep things under control for your future. You possess the talents, skills, expertise and knowledge to deliver yourself from great depression, recession, inflation, deflation and injustice. Believe that you are truly the living messiah and there is no another one. As long as you consider others to be your Gods, then you will not be saved and redeemed. You will be cursed and crushed to death.

Ignorant people have gods up in the sky, but you should never have gods in the form of governments and banks because they haven't succeeded in rescuing people from great inflation that we have today. As you know, four years have passed since the recession has hit the global economy and people are suffering because they have no jobs and no money to take care of themselves. How can you leave your future in others' hands? Be your own saviour and deliver yourself from the evils of modern banking and government systems. The best way to be your own saviour to educate yourself about financial matter. Learn to play with the new rules of money and it can deliver you from all evil.

Traditions Don't Liberate People!

Traditions will never liberate people as long as people adhere to them because they are outdated and obsolete. Traditions don't help people anywhere in the world to live in freedom with modern values. What old traditions are doing to innocent people all over the world is a pathetic situation. People are still holding on to the traditions as if they are helpful genes. These traditions are not genes they are memes- a collective opinions.

Old traditions have brutalized millions of innocent people.
Old practices and rituals which are part of a tradition have not contributed to the well being of humanity. Instead it has brutalized the innocent people. Traditions have maimed people, mutilated children and even claimed many lives in the name of keeping up the tradition. Why do people hold on to the old traditions which don't help people to grow, develop and improve their lifestyle? Old traditions should be done away in order to welcome the new tradition based on new time, space and trend. Tradition by itself is not bad, but not updating or upgrading it can be fatal to the community and the world. To illustrate this point, I ask you to visit any African nations and you will realize how millions of people are tortured in the name of traditions. How can elders decide for children who are minor and perform some rituals over them? Some rituals and practices are barbaric and inhumane in this 21st century. They are not acceptable because they don't liberate people rather it is enslaving and mutilating their bodies. We must shun traditions which don't liberate and educate people to live a better and happy life.

Traditions have become habits.
Traditions have become deep-seated habits that can't be easily gotten rid of. The children are born into new generation and century and they should be allowed to have their own modern traditions or habits that would suit their time and period. For instance, we should not decide for the children what they should be doing according to our old traditional beliefs and systems. We can't decide for them even when they are minors instead we must allow them to reach to certain maturity and suggest them if they are interested to embrace any practices or rituals and if they deny, we should not force them to accept any traditions. Forcing traditions on children is a crime and it is dangerous to the modern civilization.

Traditions are alive today because of ignorance.
People are sick and fed up with observing certain traditions and still people compel them to follow and observe. These people who are sticking to the outdated traditions are ignorant, illiterate and close-minded. They are the frogs of a well unable to see the bigger and educated world. Their world is small as a result their thinking is very narrow. Traditions have survived and thrived over the years and centuries because of one reason- ignorance, inability to think big and wide. The same traditions which are mutilating people will continue to survive even in this century and it will be passed on to the next golden century too because people will act and behave out of ignorance and enforce people to practice the rituals and rites. People need to be educated and empowered to think freely, reason out openly and live in freedom according to the new world trend and civilization.

Traditions don't liberate instead they maim the society and community.
By observing certain traditional rituals and rites, people don't get any kind of liberation or freedom and enlightenment. The innocent people are misled into believing unrealistic practices, which can't even support people to live another day. Why do we have to allow some traditions, which don't liberate people to live freely exist? We must leave the old traditions behind and move ahead to find the new ones which don't claim lives and don't make people suffer under the disguise of keeping up the traditions. I strongly condemn any traditions that don't allow people to live in peace, freedom, health and wellbeing. Human beings are more important and precious than keeping the traditions. We must respect people and their freedom to live a good lifestyle. Yes tradition is a lifestyle but if it is not helping people to live freely and openly, then it is not a respectful tradition.

In the name of traditions or religions people have committed so much crime against innocent people that they have no place to hide and stay. Why not leave people alone to choose their own lifestyle rather than imposing something that doesn't serve any purpose? The innocent victims of these traditions and religions are made to suffer unnecessarily is a big crime against the humanity. It is a human rights violation should be culpable to harsh punishment.
