Awakening has only partly to do with realizing the dark agenda at work against us (through government, religion, scientism, and other psy-ops). That’s skimming the surface, because anyone can see the exoteric plane. And many people who do see it on that level believe that the solutions are also on that level. That’s where we get stuck. We externalize everything and point fingers at anything else besides the self which is where the real solution is. The world without is a reflection of the world within.
True awakening is a deeply internal process, and it starts with shadow work. We have to be willing to acknowledge our own contributions to the collective human condition. We have to face our traumas, ego-attachments and neuroses and work towards healing them.
We have to stop lying to ourselves and stop clinging to belief systems that have been provided for us. Those belief systems exist to keep us passive, docile, subservient, apathetic, lazy and cowardly. They exist to keep us externalizing everything and seeking salvation outside of ourselves. They exist to placate the ego and suppress the spirit while setting up superhuman idols of unattainable perfection so that we never aspire to a higher level of consciousness and conscience. Salvationism is one of the oldest tricks in the dark occult playbook. It’s all about keeping us inactive and eternally waiting for a magical savior – a holy avatar, an ET race, a politician, a mystical force, or even some AI algorithm – to come save us from ourselves while evil is freely operating and orchestrating.
Yes, there is external evil at work, but its power is our own that we’ve given away. Through our willful ignorance and ego – the refusing of truth for subjective belief – a knowledge differential is created. A differential in knowledge creates and maintains a differential in power. That knowledge is what we call “the occult.” No, not of ouija boards and demonology, but of the Self and the Universe; the Human Psyche and the Laws of Nature (both Physical and Spiritual). Social engineers know the human mind better than any licensed psychologist. The bulk of humanity, however, is oblivious to it, and that makes us easy prey.
If we want to level the playing field and be able to change all the external effects towards the positive, we have to go within. That internal work has to be done before anything else. We have to take in the required knowledge. We have to stop lying to ourselves. We have to abandon the belief systems that keep us in thrall – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and morally. We have to stop externalizing both the problem and the solution. We have to face our own darkness, acknowledge it, and do what needs to be done to heal it.
This is what True Self-Respect is, from the Latin re- (again) and spectare (to look at). You are looking at yourself again and doing what needs to be done to heal, to find balance, and to cultivate real conscience. This work is what helps you recognize what cannot be changed (like the spiritual laws that govern our behavioral consequences) and what must be changed (like the current human condition of slavery).
When you’ve gone through this process fully and honestly, you will come out the other side with True Awakening. You will understand what actually creates freedom in the world. You will understand that it is not about creating some new system, or new law, or new currency. It’s not about physical revolution, either. It’s about what we need to STOP doing.
The solution can never be political, financial, or technological. It has always been psychological, philosophical, spiritual, and moral. We have to become free within – free of self-deceit, solipsistic beliefs, trauma-bonds, infantile salvationist delusions, erroneous morals, necrophilic neuroses, and unchecked ego. I could probably go on. Then, and only then, can we create freedom without.
This isn’t impossible to achieve. Most of us can get there if we want it, but it takes a lot of work. It’s a journey. It’s not a matter of possibility, it’s a matter of will. Perhaps it may take an unintended dark night of the soul to catalyze it. Chaos and suffering are harsh teachers, but teachers they are. It’s best to listen and learn and change than to perish, don’t you think?
Do what needs to be done.
