Most humans are not humans. They're pets on a leash, regurgitating template opinions of whatever damned power structure they're currently subscribed to. Don't treat those who have not earned their freedom as equals - because they are not. "I don't understand it so it must be false." This is most people. Give them no attention. Pick and choose with utter meticulousness who you engage with and choose to keep around you. Entertain only the exceptional. You deserve it, and those who misunderstand need the example. People at this station basically believe that there are no mysteries left in this world.  They're on the stage of personal battle vs the ego. They need time to cross over to the next stage, but before they do they can be rather annoying. Anything new to them will sound like word salad. > "One of the ironies of life is that dumb people do have more fun." Yes, they do have more fun. And so do the ignorant. But they will never create something beautiful, something beyond themselves. Sacrificing useless temporary pleasures is the cost of spiritual advancement. Life is worthless without hardship. No one's telling you not to have fun either. But not at the expense of the work you, deep down, know needs to be done. Sometimes good health is given by the enemy - so you can keep piss-drinking your life away - and sickness granted as a gift from creation. Think before you act. Young souls in this world are stuck in duality - when they hear the word "work", they will automatically regard it as the opposite of "fun". They think in opposites, conflicting forces. 1-s and 0-s. It pains them to even assume responsibility for their own advancement. But in a world of truths and falses - there is no place for "maybe". In a world of opposites - nothing exists but the two utmost points of anything. There is only the start and finish line - and everything between has no value. You can never be a "2" in a world of 1-s and 0-s. The key to everything is the third energy that is elevated when the mind realizes that, in our dualistic world, they are contending with opposite projections of the same forces. Once these opposites are brought to balance - its true form, the pyramidal structure begins to rise. Left and right, 1 and 0, are both outward projections of the same archetypal energy. Your reality cannot surpass these energies if they are not brought into balance. If you can, in your mind, conceptualize the third axis of this force - their function will remain hidden to you. Remember this, there is such a thing as the warm blanket of ignorance. "I don't understand it so it must be false." This is the young soul's voluntary signature upon the contract of ignorance and simplicity. To look beyond is equal to losing their minds, their weakness. ![[2983F92C-439C-4378-AA34-1D2749CD8F3B.png]] Some of you seem to think that you're owed an explanation for everything you disagree with, or just don't understand. You're not owed anything, not from me, not from the universe. Life is not obligated to make sense to you, and it is also not obligated to deliver personal excuses to you as to why it is infinitely and ultimately just - just the way it is. You are, in the grand scheme of things - not that important. You can become important to yourself and the people you love, and your immediate family and friends, by first humbling yourself, laying your head low and doing the actual work - then you won't need to assume anything anymore, you will just know for yourself. "He said this, He said that!" You are just as important as I am and, even then, collectively - both you and I are largely inconsequential, which is a blessing, by the way. You don't want that sort of responsibility on your back, and neither do I - as neither of us are ready for that sort of output. That being said, instead of looking inwards, or looking into the topic or idea discussed - you want it handed to you for /nothing/ in return. Before you fashion yourself as one of incomprehensible goodness and depth, or figure yourself the bearer of such wisdom to even get to discuss things like ego and whatnot, take a good look around you - study your own life and what it is mirroring to you, showing you. And now do it again, but /without/ lying to yourself this time. Don't do it with what your parents taught you about yourself, how they told you all about what a nice and good person you were, or about the world at large. Truly ask yourself whether you are the best person you can possibly be being right now, see where you are on the hierarchy of things by your own metrics and standards - not anyone else's - and act accordingly. A fool's ego cannot comprehend the depth of a thing it doesn't understand, so, as a defence mechanism, it thinks to itself: "I don't understand this, so it must be wrong." Because it has a deep-rooted desire to tell itself that it knows everything, that it has figured everything out, and that it cannot possibly be misinformed. /That/ is ego, not emotional expression. Emotional expression is just that - emotions, and they are hardly as bad as some of us make them out to be. It's exactly he who is terrified of feeling their own emotions who campaigns against feeling them at all. Remember that. The irony of this sort of behaviour is that it gives uncertainty about things that you /do/ know as well. You can't decide what's self-deceit and fake knowledge and what is true wisdom that you have been ordained to carry. Repeat: "I don't understand this, so it must be wrong." If this is your initial reaction to not knowing something - take it as an invitation to look inwards, and also as a sign to learn how to keep quiet. Before you judge the /contents/ of a thing, first judge whether you have grasped the full depth and /breadth/ of that thing. This is how you learn to learn, and how I learned and everyone else whose insights and views you probably respect and admire. Before I talked, I was quiet for 11 years. I have earned my noise, so to speak. That is why my noise is different from your noise. That is why when I call someone an imbecile and still do it out of absolute love, it is wholly different than when you do it - because it is not motivated by hatred or angst, even though it might represent hatred and angst to you - from a limited perspective. The quality of the question decides the quality of the answer given. This is not with me, by the way - this is how our world works and operates. When you desire simple solutions, you will receive simple outcomes. Simple minds, simple pleasures. Me, I look at everything about a person - how they write, what kind of vocabulary they use, how they present themselves - everything. You can't even bother to fix up your grammar when communicating with another person, as a sign of basic respect - yet you want the machinations of their mind to be cast before you on demand? Who have you imagined yourself to be? With me, you get what you get - no sweet-talking, no sugar-coating. I will not alter my delivery to 'appeal to the masses', and definitely not to appeal to your sensitivities and, oftentimes, sheer incompetence. The unwillingness to engage with the full depth of a subject is yours, not mine, or anyone else's. It is your decision, albeit an uninformed one, but yours regardless. I am who I am, and you are who you are - and I expect nothing less than that from you when we communicate. Knowledge is earned, and so is respect. Not from me, mind you, but from creation itself. "Hello", "Please", "Thank You" can earn you more than any argument or passive-aggressive outburst. How you treat the inanimate objects you literally sit on, when nobody's watching - can earn you more love, wisdom and grace than any pseudo-intellectual cockfight you get yourself into, and lose. I tell you this from experience.
