We live in a world of hidden meanings, secret desires and shadowy pasts. It is the nature of our world. Yet, we cannot pass into the next one if these desires are not unearthed from within us. They weigh us down, keeping us from the self-transmutation. If Yeshua was king, and each monk - his sacred clown, then I am a war surgeon, sloshing through mud and snow - and sometimes falling - in hopes to amputate the weakness of some half-dying soul. It is normal for us to get lost in the battlefield dust - for we wade into the dark. You are the gift granted to this world by the most-high. A blessing thought upon this realm of passivity. You were not brought here to adhere to the primality of nature, nor to worship it. You were brought here to present the gift of consciousness into an otherwise unaware world. most of them live in a hellscape of their own making. It pays to know that those with the inability to grasp knowledge fully tend to engage in the shrinking of that knowledge. Their egos can't allow them to even consider that they require further inner work and growth to open themselves up for said knowledge, so they simplify it to the point where it becomes understandable, losing out most of the truth in the process. There are intellectual faculties, spiritual factors, specific experiences that gatekeep higher understanding. Know this first, if you're serious about your journey into the mystical. These limitations must be respected. You are not all-knowing, and you are definitely not equipped to understand all things esoteric without proper intellectual and spiritual bases. Physiognomy, among other sciences, often falls victim to this treatment. You should /want/ the world to be beyond your understanding, it enriches it, giving it a sense of wonder. Where you are now, where your awareness currently resides - this three-dimensional holographic matrix - is a fractal, self-repeating mirrorworld, or what we could call an INPUT/OUTPUT system. It means that whatever we input into it with our belief system - it will reform, reshape and readjust itself to output it backwards, reflecting our beliefs back onto us - allowing them to shape our daily realities. Yes, there is no spoon - yet the spoon is there, how does that even make sense, right? The complexity of our world in particular is introduced when one realises that we create collectively. Separation in our realm is an illusory feature. We are not coded into this world as individuals, we are coded as one whole - yet we are expressed individually due to the limitations of matter. It is functionally required for us to experience isolation from one another - for reasons I won't disclose now. But listen. This our reality-matrix then can only register a collective form of manifestation. Therefore, when it comes to matters of, well, matter - it cannot restructure itself at all. It is static, frozen, or seems to be so. Why? Because most of its denizens are unconscious creators. They are, to put it in simpler words - asleep and not yet activated, and self-activation is rare. The world as we know it now, the laws of its physics, the all-encompassing, hardened truths of reality are bound and held together by our collective wills - and most of it still slumbering. It pays to understand that all awe is rather self-inflicted, and so is boredom and simple-mindedness. If you disallow the world to charm you - it never will. To open up your mind to its possibilities, to understand and know that there is hidden depth in all things is to invite miracles into your life. For those who walk that narrow path of mastery, [[The Existence Of God|faith]] replaces [[Fearlessness|fear]]. But if you force the world-matrix into a state of "I have figured everything out" - it will conspire, reform and reshape itself into the same dull, monotonous, predictable thing that you believe, in your foolish and absolute insolence, to have figured out. The world itself serves you yet you do not serve yourself. The fool stares into the mirror and sees himself, thinking that he is all there is to know. The master gazes into the reflection, becoming aware of his nature, and sees himself change.
