You were just a child.
You needed to be taught things so you could be socialized, fit in & operate in this HUGE MANSION called "the world".
So, the adults around you took you by your hand and showed you around the mansion, room by room.
The problem is, almost all of the doors were closed when they were telling you about it.
"This room is love's room," they told you. "Love is this, love is that.." - and you nodded along. The door is closed, but you can dream up all the intricate details and it looks/sounds/feels SO REAL in your imagination. Thus, it is.
You nodded along & believed. Of course you did, you have absolutely no idea wtf is going on here and the adults look like they have good intentions. Truth to be told, you're helpless and will accept almost anything & everything you're told - you're a blank fucking slate.
"In this room, there is 'success'," they said, and told you ALL about it - from their perspective. "This is what success means, this is how it's obtained, this is why it's valuable and important.." - again, a closed door.
"This is the God room", they said, and told you all the stories about what's in that room, how the content of the room came to be.. Again, the door was closed.
Of course, the issue was, that almost all of those humans who gave you a tour.. they themselves were just TOLD about what's inside the rooms, or they just peeked inside for a few seconds, if they got lucky. The "facts" and absolutely confident descriptions you were told.. some of them were maybe told by ppl who were 19th in line to hear from someone who just HEARD about the thing, behind the closed doors.
And some of the rooms.. the stories about what's inside were just made up or edited by trickstermaxx'd adults - but their stories keep being told and even strengthen as time goes on and more children are brainwashed.
Problem is, almost none of these "adults" are aware of the whole pyramid scheme of fake reality building, and they'd defend it to death - just because they never questioned it & repeated them countless times at this point. The cost is too much to bear.
You see, how there is almost no TRUTH in the situation, but it's all collectively hallucinated reality that just hardens up over time, thus becomes "real"? But if you were to step into a SINGLE room out of those gazillion rooms, and actually EXPERIENCE and KNOW the thing for yourself.. your whole view of the world would change.
Just one step, just one experience, just one instance of deep knowing (not belief).. and you're a different person. Now, you question what's inside ALL of those rooms, actually? All those adults told you what THEY believed, but are you happy with THEIR beliefs and THEIR "truth"? Did they even form it themselves, or have you been told a thousand-year story people told, watering it down and warping it up with each iteration? Was it even real?
Well.. Once you take a bite of that, there's no going back. You now realize you're all alone in the world. This is a hard to navigate, vulnerable position - but also the most honorable and wonderful one. This is what you were made for - to discover the truth. For yourself, only. And for the sake of it. There's nothing higher than that.
Now..
This story I've just told..
This is another door for you.
Maybe you were lucky enough to step inside before,
Maybe you were not.
And I can confidently tell you that, in essence, there are only TWO types of humans in this world - those who have and those who haven't.
One either perishes like a dog, or awakens to the truth.
Best of luck,
