The Only Two Human Rights You Need

The Only Two Human Rights You Need

Simplify and Get Back to the Basics

Human rights continue to be difficult for some human beings to comprehend. The UN has composed a list of 30 specific human rights, which can be found on their website with a simple search. Perhaps that compiled list of detail-oriented rights is too specific, too confusing, or too long. While those who are intent on not observing human rights may never recognize any list that delineates them, it may be beneficial for the rest of society as a whole to keep it simple. Life is already complicated. Therefore, I have compiled a list of human rights that is meant to be broad in scope but also very clear in the language so that as many people as possible can read and understand them. The rights as I see them are as follows: the Right to Live and the Right of Free Will. Within each right is a subsection relevant to the topic for the sense of clear communication.

Rights are given to every human being freely the instant they are born. They cannot and should not be denied in any circumstance. 

Right #1: The Right to Live

“Every being has the right to live.”

This right involves the basic survival needs to sustain immediate life and every necessity required to be able to contribute to modern society. 

Examples of Immediate Life Necessities:

• Clean environment, clean food, clean water, clean air, clean shelter, clean clothing

Examples of Social Life Necessities:

• Safety, privacy, love, freedom, recreation, education, employment, healthcare/counseling, transportation, technology, knowledge

The biggest aspect of this Right to Live is the concept of “love.” If a being is loved, they will be afforded, without question, everything possible to fulfill this right. A being is not truly loved by society when denied even one of these rights, needs, or pleasures. 

Loved is the homeless being when given shelter, clothes, food, access to social necessities, and a position in society which gives them the ability to sustain themselves. While it may be difficult for an individual to provide for these rights for one that lacks them, it would be easier for a group of people to provide aid and help the bereft one to regain the ability to prosper for their self. When personal problems prevent one from having the motivation to provide for themselves, showing love for them manifests an additional social need of being counseled to a point of self-reliability. 

The Right of Respect

“Every being has the right to be respected.”

This right is a subsection of “love” as outlined in the Right to Live because respect is a form of love. However, I have provided space for it here because of its integral importance in social life today. When respect is not given to a human being, it becomes one of the lead escalators of emotional reactions. Respect is a large idea, and it may be so large that it can be confusing. In an effort to explain more in order to communicate clearly and to reduce the need for overcomplicating things for future reference, respect boils down to one thing: manners.

Examples of Respect:

• Politeness, gratitude, humility, patience, trust, courtesy, forgiveness

The above is all that should be necessary to detail what is meant by “manners,” but to be yet clearer in communication, I believe it is best to provide a bit more details. Respect means giving someone their own personal space (usually the width of their arm span). It means giving someone the benefit of the doubt before making assumptions. Respect is giving someone your trust automatically with every intent to be observant of their potential deceptions. It is about showing concern for others’ discomforts by not infringing upon their own rights. Respect is laying the blame on yourself first before clarifying where the real mistake was made. It is about forgiving, not forgetting, a fellow human being for the mistakes they make. Finally, respect is given without need of earning it because everyone is a human being. Respect should never be removed or restricted, even when a human being is convicted of having committed monstrous acts of violence. The criminal is still a human being and retains entitlement to their rights, for denying them places the denier on their own level: a violator of human rights. 

Right #2: The Right of Free Will

“Every being has the right to decide for themselves.”

Free will is a human being’s ability to choose for their self. It is an essential tool used to interact with reality. Combined with the Right of Free Will is the idea that the human being must also be accountable for the outcomes of their choices and decisions. Free will is a powerful tool, and as Stan Lee said in his Spider-Man comics, “with great power comes great responsibility.”

The Right to Harm

“Every being has the right to inflict harm on others but, in doing so, must respect human rights.”

This right is a subsection to the Right of Free Will, but it is detailed here because it is a massive part of free will that is difficult to talk about. Harming others is an essential parameter in our reality. Try as any human might, it may prove impossible to live an average lifetime and harm no one along the way. It is an inevitability when a human being sets the limitation of expectations on the outcome of certain events.  For example, a best friend may wish to move away from another in order to pursue a more fulfilling life for themselves, thus inadvertently causing harm to the one who expects them to stay nearby. With the amount of interactions involved with living life, such as emotional attachments, living within comfort zones, and the like, a human being entangles their self in the strings they tie around the things they care about. Losing one of those ties may be emotionally disturbing. This would be an example of a reasonable amount of due harm.

An unreasonable amount of undue harm comes from the infringement of other human being’s rights, such as torture, murder, or other such egregious acts. A human being may have the free will to participate in these horrendous acts which purposefully violate other human beings, but they also must deal with the consequences. This Right to Harm does not support the idea of inflicting egregious acts upon other beings as being socially “correct.” The idea of this right is to communicate harm healthily insofar as it is necessary to the situation. Violently violating any other’s Right to Live is never an agreeable position as far as this right is concerned.

Conclusion

The good news is that human beings can limit the amount of harm that comes to them by lowering expectations and by observing the human rights. Emotional attachments can become simple attachments alone. Enjoy the strings as they are attached, and express gratitude for when the strings are cut. Release the human nature of control, and this may become a natural thing as easy as breathing. Emotions are inevitable, and the releasing of such attachments are not meant to claim that human beings should discard emotions. Instead, releasing attachments encourages the acknowledgement of emotions and encourages the ability to see the impermanence of those emotions and their attachments. Live life knowing emotions are there and are useful, but break free when those strings turn into the chains that emotions use to bind. Growth comes from pain, and emotions can be the delivery of pain. Embrace all that comes from interacting with reality and other human beings encountered, and be thankful for those interactions however they may end. 

Spiritual and Physical Dimensions

Recently, a friend of mine asked me what I thought of the 5th dimension. I hadn't really considered it beforehand, so I thought I would feel it out and get an impression. Some of the graphics used here have no credit to the original author because they were designed by me.

The Physical Dimensions

In this blog, I'll take a look at first the physical definition of dimension, then the spiritual definition. As it is now, these two disciplines of thought, science and spirituality, see things very differently in regard to dimensions themselves. Spirituality makes the claim that there is no beginning to the universe and there is no end. Scientists explain that the 0-2 dimensions don't actually exist, but those dimensions work together to make something from nothing: the third dimension.

Right there is the rub! Scientists, who have no evidence for a deity creating something from nothing, purport that their model of physics is correct even though, at the very simplest level of physics, they admit that the non-existing dimensions 0, 1, and 2 combine to create real objects. Something from nothing. Scientists cannot make the leap to believe in some governing spiritual force, yet they accept that make-believe dimensions, basically ideas, contribute meaningfully to matter.

The exact purpose for creating these first three dimensions is to simply illustrate mathematical equations with more ease; therefore, let's agree that these first three dimensions are simply ideas. Nassim Haramein, theoretical physicist, explains this concept very well in this video (3:12-10:00). His conclusion, and it is quite convincing if you watch the whole video, is that only dimension 0 exists. He goes on to show you how that is possible in the video.

Physical Dimensions 

Before we understand the physical 5D, we have to understand the physical dimensions zero through four. As shown above, the zero dimension is simply a point that doesn't exist. It is not a physical location, you cannot sense it; it is just a point in space. The first dimension, then, is simply a line between two points. Neither does this line exist in space; it's intangible and insensible. The second dimension is a plane which consists of a mixture of at least three points and lines. Neither is a plane tangible, nor is it sensible. Thus, dimensions zero through two are phantoms in the world of physics. When we get to the third dimension, suddenly, there springs something from nothing. The third dimension is the first dimension directly observable by the human being.

Dimensions zero through three make up everything you need to have a physical world in which one could experience things. The fourth physical dimension is that of time. Like dimensions zero through two, it is imperceptible except to measure the effects of change. For example, change could be catalyzed by an action from moving object, a minutely imperceptible action (such as age), or through other means. Thus, it is suggested that time is simply the observance of change.

The combination of the physical dimensions of zero through three and the abstract fourth dimension is what scientists call "spacetime," 3D space plus time. Or is it?

According to this article written in 2011, some physicists are suggesting that time has no dimension at all. Their argument is that in experiments, scientists never actually measure time. Instead, they measure velocity, frequencies, etc. Therefore, the scientists featured in this article consider time to be relative, as they are quoting Einstein, "Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it." Physicist Amrit Sorli continues by saying, “Time is exactly the order of events: this is my conclusion.”

This is something I can appreciate, time being just the measurement of the passing of events. My problem with Sorli's assessment is that his proposed model to replace time as a dimension is based on the smallest unit of measurement observed by man, the Planck. What of the smaller particles that we have yet to observe? If there are smaller particles, does this make his model null?

Let's move on and offer another point of view for discussion. Enter the fifth dimension of history?

The Physical 5D

The physical fifth dimension is not easy to picture, but John A. Gowan figures it to look something like this. Gowan is the son of one John Curtis Gowan, a psychologist. Gowan, Jr. was a support staff member for Biological Sciences at Cornell University. There, he wrote many papers concerning the way he perceives the universe to work. On his webpage, he freely admits that his papers are speculation, so take from his writings what you will.

The Spacetime Map (Source)

In his writings, Gowan, Jr. explains that the fifth dimension acts like history. It records events, registers them, and stores them in the past. It is the binding membrane around the 4 dimensions previously discussed. He suggests that, as beings travel through the physical fifth dimension, we leave a trail behind us, which is our particular history of recorded events. He calls this line the "light line," as he seems to regard beings themselves as lights.

What is visible to us and directly (rather than indirectly) influential today is the bounding surface of this historic causal domain, our "light line", which is a 4-dimensional volume consisting of 3 spatial dimensions and one temporal historic sequence, visible as a whole, cohesive unit in each successive instant of the observer's eternally moving "Present Moment".  - John A. Gowan

 He claims that following this light line can take us all the way back to the "Big Bang." I have seen this logic used in a similar way elsewhere. This whole thing smacks of the Seed of Life pattern as well.

Fibonacci Spiral > Vesica Piscis > Seed of Life > Flower of Life

What follows is a is based off of the Spirit Science “Flower of Life” informative video. Take from it what resonates with you.

Math is the language of the universe. I’m not very practiced in the vibrations of mathematics, but I can appreciate the patterns that can be found there. One such pattern of numbers comes from the “Fibonacci series” of numbers, which themselves originate from ancient Indian mathematics. These series of numbers gave rise to the so called “golden ratio” or “Fibonacci spiral.” It is infinitely repeatable both increasing and decreasing in size. It naturally occurs in the nautilus shell.

Fibonacci Spiral (Source)

Complete Circle of Awareness (Source) 

From the Fibonacci spiral, we can complete the outer arc back to the top and get a full circle. Let us then say that at the center of this circle is a being and that the perimeter of the circle represents the distance of their awareness. When the being in the center of the awareness circle becomes aware of the things within the circle, the being will wish to travel to the edge of their awareness. In doing so, the being creates two circles of awareness. Where those two circles intersect is called the “vesica piscis.”

The vesica piscis is representative of many operations and calculations in mathematics, such as the square root of 3. It is a shape that is used throughout history a symbol meaning various things, such as the IXOYE symbol in Christianity and the central portion of a Venn Diagram.

Circle of Awareness

If the being keeps doing this at all angles, traveling from the center of the first circle of awareness to the intersection of two circles, the Seed of Life shape is formed. From the Seed of Life, if you repeat the process in the above “awareness circle” chart, you get the Flower of Life. This is said to be the pattern, building instructions, from which everything is physically created: elements, molecules, etc. Drunvalo Melchizedek, author, is attributed with the modern day usage of the ancient Flower of Life. He describes in detail his theories on this pattern in his book “The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life” (1999).

Vesica Piscis (Source)

It seems hard to believe that everything that contains molecules is patterned after the Flower of Life. It all revolves around mathematics, the language of the universe. I cannot teach much about mathematics, but if this resonates with you, it may be prudent to research “sacred geometry” and find out more about the Flower of Life in your personal journey. Nassim Haramein, a theoretical physicist, expands on this idea using the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah of Judaism. Here’s a short video to explain what I mean.

Minkowski Space

According to this article by James Overduin, Hermann Minkowski, a German mathematician and professor, had a problem with Einstein's theory of special relativity, which did not see space and time as individual components and that they could rather be converted from one to the other but whereby light is the basic piece of both of them. In 1908, Minkowski argued that there need be a binding field that holds space and time together for it to ever be able to preserve any kind of independent reality.

Could this be Gowan's idea of the fifth dimension of history?

Overduin gives us an insight into Minkowski's model, which is pictured below. If you don't have time to read his article, let me do my best to summarize what he says in his article.

According to the article, time is labeled as the Y-axis, and Space is the X-axis in this chart. The center point of this chart reflects the present time. The light cone in this diagram represents a "flash of light" moving through time, from the past to the future. The space outside of the cone is labeled as "elsewhere" because it is not possible to reach unless one travels faster than light. The central red line, "worldline," is explained as "the trajectories of all real objects," meaning other objects that the observer encounters as a result of movement through time. Overduin states that the below chart seems static in nature and that "in which history does not seem to 'happen' but is rather 'already there'".

This gives me insight to three questions:

1. Does this mean that what we observe as lights moving through spacetime is a matrix of still images? 
2. By making decisions relative to our position in the matrix of events, do we then change our reality through the virtue of our willpower alone? 
3. Is it then possible to jump to any position in the matrix by willing ourselves there, and by the movement of time, arrive?

In my observation, the light cone around the present time looks, to me, reminiscent of an object traveling at or near the speed of light using time compression and dilation, as if traveling through a wormhole, for example.

The Unified Field Theory

Theoretical physicist Nassim Haramein has been enlightening many about his contemplations on the Unified Field Theory (UFT), which is itself a theory in particle physics built from the decades-long refinement of theories of physicists ranging from James Maxwell to Albert Einstein (source). The UFT, according to Britannica.com, is "an attempt to describe all fundamental forces and the relationships between elementary particles in terms of a single theoretical framework." From the microscopic world of cells to the macroscopic universe of galaxies, UFT aims to bridge the gap and combine them together into one plausible theory. As it exists in science today, relative mechanics (Einstein's) and quantum mechanics follow different rules. If you haven't already, I urge you to watch this video, referred to earlier, in full. Haramein reveals his methods of determining that the mass of the entire universe can fit into a proton, proportionately, through the concepts the Seed of Life demonstrates. This is the first time, in my view, that spirituality meets science.

I believe this sums up the energy I have spent thus far in trying to understand the physical dimensions. Take with you what resonates.

Spiritual Dimensions

There are some people who believe in the idea of "spiritual dimensions." These, perhaps, are companions to the physical dimensions in the same way the metaphysical senses (clairvoyance, etc.) are companions to the physical senses (feel, touch, etc.). We must define the first four spiritual dimensions before we attempt to understand the fifth dimension.

Below is a diagram from Dr. Suzanne Lie's website, Multidimensions. Dr. Lie is a Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology. She claims to have spiritual insights from beings called "Arcturians," so named because of the central star, Arcturus, in their solar system located in the constellation Boötes. Her website contains loads of information she claims to be given to her through beings from this star system.

Dr. Lie's views heavily depend on the idea that life is a massively detailed hologram, a virtual experience that is not physically real and is only a "game" that our souls, or higher dimensional selves, agreed to participate in. In doing so, she claims, our souls have forgotten their original power as creators; thus, it is our task to remember and to raise the vibration of Earth and its inhabitants in order to achieve this on a planetary scale such that every living being remembers their original power.

In her articles, she constantly refers to parts of our reality as being analogous to parts in the information technology field. For instance, she refers to Earth as our "motherboard," and our state of consciousness as our "operating system." For me personally, her themes are catchy. It is fun to think of life as a holographic simulation, where different animals and plants may be considered to be "modifications" to the original game content. Whether or not you find this true or not, the theme is clever.

Dr. Lie's map of Dimensions 1-5 (Source)

According to this map, the five dimensions we are concerning ourselves with can be separated by levels of consciousness: unconscious, conscious, superconscious.

Unconscious dimensions categorize beings that have no real level of consciousness. Their presence and habits are resultant of their programmed functions within the hologram game of  Earth. Conscious dimensions categorize beings that are aware of themselves and the other levels of consciousness. This is also called "ego consciousness." Finally, superconscious dimensions are consciousnesses aware of the metaphysical, or spiritual, beings or places.

The first dimension represents the land, water, and so on of our mother Earth, as well as beings on a cellular level. This associates with the physical zero dimension because it focuses on consciousness at a point. On her website, Dr. Lie says that if we could connect to this consciousness as a human, we can connect with the rest of the physical world because it is the dimension that everyone shares. Similar to Haramein's assessment that the dot is the only thing that exists in the physical dimensions.

The second dimension is representative of groups of cells that together make the organs of our bodies. It relates to the first dimension of physical dimensions in that it is a line. Animals and plants are associated with this dimension of consciousness.

The third dimension represents the consciousness that is aware of themselves, their bodies, and especially their own consciousness. This associates with the same third dimension in physical dimensions, able to observe point, line, and depth. In line with the physical third dimension as well, third dimension consciousness is not able to see time, but they experience it. Beings in this category are the higher order of plants/animals. According the Dr. Lie, the third dimension is locked by time as a function of its purpose, which is to allow beings to learn through the process of tracking changes of things held in our consciousness at any given time. For example, if we want to feel grief, we hold the idea in our consciousness, time passes, we document our experiences through learning. Now we have experienced grief and have grown as a result of it.

The fourth dimension is representative of astral bodies, higher than human consciousness, imperceptible to humans without psychic abilities. Beings with this consciousness can perceive point, line, depth, and time. This relates to perhaps the fourth dimension of physical dimensions if we agree that this dimension represents time. Examples of beings in this dimension are "astral bodies," dream states, visions, or past lives. This dimension is accessible by third dimensional consciousness if the being remembers their multidimensional self, according to Dr. Lie. The outlook of the fourth dimension consciousness, she says, is like a person standing at the top of a mountain and directing parties below.

The fifth dimension is said to be aware of length, depth, time, and spirit. This is where one realizes everything is one being. All actions are love-based here, having ascended third dimensional concepts based on fear. In a fifth dimensional consciousness, one has applied, to all aspects, the lessons learned from their third dimensional consciousness. Human beings are able to access this consciousness in their form.

Do you see the irony here? The physical dimensions claimed that the zero - second dimensions, as well as the "fourth dimension of time," to be insensible. One cannot sense them. Here, spirituality seems to be making the same statement about the spiritual dimensions one, two, and four.

Aspects of Spiritual Dimensions

From another perspective, this article delineates how humans think from different levels of consciousness. I took it upon myself to make a summary, which I have shared below.

Third Dimensional Thinkers

These individuals approach life as a very grounded individual. They are fully convinced that the life they have is the only one they have. They are fear-based, materialistic, believe they are separate from others, seek after societal "success," and only use their five senses (as opposed to the metaphysical senses).

Fourth Dimensional Thinkers

These individuals perceive that there is something beyond the every day events of life. They believe in some kind of higher power than themselves because they are aware of some kind of "connectedness" but are unsure as to why. Individuals experience duality-based thoughts, often meditate, consider diet, seek to find a purpose in life, experience coincidences called "synchronicities" (which are defined as hints from the universe to assist them in awakening), and that their actions affect the environment in both harmless and harmful ways.

Fifth Dimensional Thinkers

The idea of duality falls away. While the fifth dimensional thinkers are still aware of the concept of duality, they no longer see things as either good or bad; things just are. Individuals in this dimension of thinking don't pass judgment, don't seek to use labels, sees other beings as equals, understands one's life purpose, feels connected with everything and everyone, feel no sense of competition for materials as there is plenty for all, and one's intention is at its peak ability.

Conclusion

As I come to a close on this topic, it's taken me years understand any of this stuff. I've had some parts of it researched for some time, tried writing about it in the past, but eventually, I got too busy. Apart from that, it has taken me hours to type all this stuff up. However, please don't think that this is all my "evidence." I can't fit it all in and remember my sources.

My position on this topic might be clear, but if not, let me make it so. There is something inside me that points out the similarities of all these ideas and finds a central theme in all of them. I don't necessarily believe all the ideas presented here as solid truth. I don't presume to be so bold. All I can say is that as I live my life, I come across things that hit a certain heart-string, which sends my being into this sense of knowing something is pretty close to true. Truth is a relative, subjective topic, but for me, there's a core belief in here somewhere, and if you don't believe any of it, that's fine by me. I am not here to convert anyone; I just want to present my ideas for my own benefit and to help anyone I can to come to their own conclusions through their own research.

Madonna sang about life being a mystery. Well, that's for sure, but as it is, I stand here at 39 years old in my most confident stance on how the mystery of life is put together and how it unfolds. There is no measure of truth by which I can simply prove it. I must confess that the power to decide what is true is a right for every individual, and each individual will believe in a separate truth than mine. I only hope that they put a great deal amount of sincere thought into what they choose to believe and give power to, rather than to heft the responsibility of their own power on the shoulders of some one else who claims to be socially and spiritually above them. There is no greater lie than someone else having the ability to have any kind of power, but especially spiritual power, over anyone.  

May you all be blessed in your lives. If you feel the need to ask for help, I would love to hear your story. 

The One-Finned Fish

By Brandon Kelly

There was once a fish with one fin, called You, who swam in a sea, called Life. The Sea of Life was very deep. You became more and more curious about how deep. You knew that it must take a lot of effort to swim deeper because, for You, going even a few feet was tiresome. Having only one fin limited how fast and deep You could go. 

You was not alone, though. He had to think about his friends, family, and how You could survive deep in the sea all alone. In the school of fish, You's life was very comfortable. As a child, You's parents watched out for predators or fishing humans. They let nothing happen to You. Parents always warned their children about the fishing boat, called Difficulty. "When Difficulty comes sailing in, you had better come close, or they will scoop you up and eat you," they would say. 

But You always dreamed of going deeper in the Sea of Life. You didn't know how to do it, or if it was possible to do at all. One day, You was swimming with Loved Ones, and they all saw something amazing. It was a three-finned fish close to the surface of the sea.

This three-finned fish was very famous and was called They. Well, after seeing They, You became very emboldened and excited to start an adventure, but turning to look at the Loved Ones, they looked afraid. The Loved Ones said that they should all return to the surface and back to the school of fish immediately. No one wants to be separated from the group because then Difficulty may snatch them out of the water. As it was, they were already far away from safety. You was torn and didn't know what to do. 

Meanwhile, They swam by lazily, too big to be worried about Difficulty, and They's many fins helped glide through the Sea of Life with ease. That big fish didn't really seem to care about anything. They hardly noticed You at all. Regardless, You couldn't stop watching They. Inspiration, bravery, and determination each built up inside of You till bursting point, and each time You thought of the Loved Ones, those feelings deflated. You felt hopeless; the Loved Ones always talked You into going back to the school.

You did swim back to the school, but this time was different than all the other times. You thought about why the Loved Ones may not want to use effort to swim deeper in the Sea of Life. Why wouldn't the Loved Ones want to go into unknown spaces, learn new things, experience exciting details about Life? The Sea of Life is so big, perhaps even They doesn't know every inch of it. Perhaps one day, You could teach They a thing or two. 

You thought that the Loved Ones were concerned for You's safety. This was the obvious answer, the one that You thought of every time. You had a different thought that day: the Loved Ones did not want You to leave. They loved You, wanted to keep You around, and to lose You would make them very sad indeed.  You thought of You's feelings on the issue: if You stayed, then You would be the one who was sad. It seemed as though the game had no winner.

Another thought occurred to You: what if other one-finned fish had the same idea as You, but were staying with Loved Ones because they needed them? Or maybe they were themselves afraid to leave the school and if You showed bravery and courage to leave the school alone, You's actions made them feel inadequate about themselves. If You left, then You would show them strength, true passion, and bravery. When they looked inwardly, they found that they were too afraid to try going deeper in the Sea of Life themselves. It was too much effort. The one-finned fish only had one fin, after all. In a way, these two things that made the school and Loved Ones want You to stay by their side was only serving themselves in the end.

They were Self-Fish. 

A shadow moved above You. It was Difficulty, and You's Loved Ones were shouting. "Swim, You! Come with us!" Though it pained You immensely, You decided to be happy. 

You swam deeper and deeper, tumbled about by the currents They was making in passing. You flicked that little tail as fast as possible in order to get deeper. You lost balance, twirled upside down, got whacked by They's big tail fin, but You kept up the effort to achieve a deeper position in the Sea of Life. Finally, You found a position under They where the current wasn't so strong. You observed the surroundings for a while and was very keen to notice even small details. You learned how to be a fish that dove deeper. You learned by doing, by observing, and by self correcting through humility. Before You knew it, another fin started to grow on top. You became happy after all.

You realized that in Life, You really is a small thing.
