The tryhard thinks the world is against him. (matrix) The wannabe thinks he can trick grand design. (anti-matrix) Both of them are ma-tricks-ed into thinking they're free. They just input their fake escape onto the world, and the world outputs their fake enlightenment back. “Would that make surrender true freedom?” We live in an input/output system. Every amateur spiritualist makes the same mistake (sometimes over several lifetimes) of inputting their own "tricks" to defy the code. And the mother-code allows it. And they think they've tricked God. Just surrender and find bliss. The great escape sounds appealing. Grand enslavement sounds convincing. But the only way out is through acceptance and surrender. The One who brought this world into being can't be fooled. But he will allow himself to be fooled to teach you a lesson of a lifetime (or several). Every cocky and arrogant spiritualist gets stuck on this step. They're convinced they've found "the cheat code". The mystic needs to learn how to walk in uncertainty. Faith is the great lesson of this realm. Ours is a world that facilitates faith through uncertainty and lack of higher proof. The journeyman doesn't understand that what you impress unto the world is impressed back unto you. The master of this realm is wiser than you, yes. This place will feed into your biases, regardless of what those biases are. It will always show you that you are right. Your beliefs will be reflected back unto you. But the master does not seek truth within, because the truth within is tainted by the ego-mind. The master seeks the truth beyond the truth of the self. You cannot avoid uncertainty and unknowing, yet the deep, innate human desire - or the desire of a mind that cannot comprehend the greatness and vastness of God's designs - is to have their ego-minds be met with a worldly order that makes logical sense. You cannot "unfeel" the world. You cannot starve it of expression and emotion. You are just denying yourself progress, thinking you're unshackling yourself from the destiny laid down before you. You are here to FEEL, to EXPERIENCE, to TOIL, to be UNSURE. And the more you try to delay feeling what you need to be feeling - the more (life)time you will waste doing so. No matter how desperately you try, no matter how convinced you become that you have achieved it... You cannot trick the God that made you. Greater men have tried and greater men have failed. Each and every time. I can tell you this with full and absolute certainty. No answer is the only answer. The only surrendering you should be doing is to yourself. Your authentic self. Do that - and destiny, fate, fortune, and fear will fade away into the periphery of your essence and being. ![[IMG_3181.jpeg]]
