Finding Peace and Freedom

That we live in a part of the world where personal responsibility and accountability is diminished is obvious to many of us. To me, this means tolerating other’s opinions and viewpoints, and treating these with respect. as much as we can. Yes, I throw around terms like moron quite often myself as I have a deeply ingrained dislike of stupidity that I must work on but I still respect people’s opinions even if I strongly disagree. Certainly, I do not see their views as hateful or an affront to my sensibilities. I may be angered by these views but I don’t resort to threats nor do I engage in some attention seeking behavior supposedly performed to show my disapproval. I just call them idiots and let it be.

I think the biggest surprise is to see how people mirror their disagreement. Women suddenly become misandrist because they feel unequal, for example. This double standard is best seen in the use of the term CIS where is is used as an insult by people who feel unequal due to their perceived sense of gender. IE there is a tendency to mirror the people you despise and actually become what you despise. Anyone who overuses the term racist is usually a racist themselves may be another example?

Anyway, people who complain of hate are usually in my view oversensitive people who lack the ability to be personally responsible or accountable and instead blame others. The problem they have is this leads to a lifetime of feeling insulted, aggrieved and upset as opposing to solving the problem because the offended person resorts to offending others by mirroring.

On the other hand, we are all human. We all have feelings and we are all able to be hurt. It is finding the balance that is important.

Balance.

That is a pretty key work for it helps us navigate a polar world. Once we stray from the balance, we start to mirror. Even more problematic is that balance isn’t a static thing as the poles tend to move as well. For example, as the left goes leftwards, it sees the middle as right when actually, it is and was the middle. It’s the persons perspective that shifted - not the reality.

And so at the moment we have a lot of people who seem to want to blame anyone, anything and everything for all their issues but they never actually pinpoint the problem is them. They can run from the US or from X but they don’t escape the issue for they cannot escape themselves. The only way to address their issues is self reflection and analysis and that requires self responsibility and accountability. It is not easy and it is very painful to be confronted with the truth that actually, you are the problem.

Once you start this process however, it is like peeling away layers of an onion. And each layer is harder than the last - each is more invisible to the person trying to do this and each is more tightly grafted to our false sense of self. Who am I really? I have little clue as getting to the true essence is a long tortuous journey full of pain and regret.

Rather than mirror what we despise we need to look in the mirror at ourselves. Franz Bardon, the Czech magician, gave us an exercise to do this and it is quite useful. I developed a version of it that can be found in the book The Mystical Hexagram and practiced in the course I created of the same name. Its a start at least.

The issue seems to me that the powers that rule our world want people not to discover their true selves. They want us dependent on them. They want us squabbling and divided for in that way are we conquered by them and for them.

So, wanna break free from the matrix?

Seek out your true self and find freedom.
