What does it really mean to Love Thy Enemy? How can you have compassion for those which you declare to be your evil? Why does it matter?
The archetypes on the world stage playing characters that everyone loves to blame and hate are amalgamations of the collective unconscious made manifest…the egregore come to life!
Do you only point fingers and say Klauss Schwab is evil or Bill Gates is evil along with endless other lists/systems/corporations? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what you aren’t seeing? How does someone get to a point in life where they show such disregard for life? I’m not talking about the endless conspiracy theories on their history, deeds or handlers, but as humans how does one wake up one day and then end up as the most hated? How does the finger pointing actually help the collective mindset shift and thus starve the egregore?…it doesn’t!
Let’s explore this inside 3 key points:
VICTIMHOOD
It’s natural when one first expriences cognitive dissonance and becomes aware of the nature of reality to fall into rage, anger and victimhood. The deception exists and life is not fair. As the reality of this hard truth comes to surface, the first steps toward “truthership" (is that a word, I just made it a word if not) is to yell and point fingers at all the bad guys and the system for being evil. Many will start to think they can just “vote harder” or '“scream louder” or become so angry in defiance that is becomes a form of self harm because it is not heatlthy or fruitful to live in this place for an extended period of time.
The left side is in victimhood and blames the right. The right is in victimhood and blames the puppet-masters. Both are in victimhood...until they choose not to be.
The unawakened soul feeds the egregore without knowing it. The awakened truther feeds the egregore consciously. Both feed the beast...until they choose not to.
Victimhood persists until one recognizes that finger pointing is a game of fools, that you can’t vote harder in something doing what it’s designed to do, and the only way out is in taking responsibility for your time, attention and choices. No one can save you from it because no one can save you from you. You are the only thing that can change. In essence, You are it!
VEILS
Apocalypse is an unveiling, a peak at reality, the shadow being exposed. The veil is as thin as you are willing to look. The lifting of the veil is the realization that there is no “man behind the curtain” in the way you’ve likely assumed. The lifting of the veil is an opening of the mind and finding access to a “flood” of information that can overtake one and begin to be consumed instead of the consumer. It’s the outer world eating at you from the inside out, the mind unable to assimilate a continuous assault of new information. Without understanding how going down rabbit holes can effect you, it’s important to listen your inner voice, breathe and slow down.
Is the information you are consuming keeping you from things you need to do to live the life you want to live? Is the information you are consuming sensationalized, enticing and showing you all of the bad guys in the world so that you can keep blaming them for all your woes? If you aren’t really living your own life, focused on solutions and spending time in contemplation then which is a better use of time?
The veil is not just the lifting of the outer, the unseen realm, but it’s also about the veil over your own life, your own blind spots, your own habits, choices, and thoughts.
Are you seeking self responsibility, mastery, discipline, connection, or are you sucked into the veil of distractions wondering where the day went?
Peeking behind the veil comes with responsibility, so be careful what you wish for…nothing is ever as it seems and truth waits for no one. The veil invites you under the curtain, but it’s useless without buying a ticket to look under the tent of your own inner workings.
VILLAINS
If you’re on the truthership you probably love the villain memes of the (not so) “elite” characters wreaking havoc upon the world and I’ll admit, I’ve enjoyed some of them too, but there comes a time to look at the topic of villains more closely.
You see, everyone is a villain in someone’s story. The movies make the joker look insane but maybe, like many of us, he can see through the deception of the world and just wants to be understood, seen or heard? In clown world where everyone just wants to jump from one train to another, where suffering hides behind personas of everyday life masquerading as joy, success and happiness, the real depth of living waits to be discovered.
If you have not been called a villain yet, then you probably aren’t being honest because honesty is not favored by the masses complaining their way through life, seeking experts instead of inner knowing, battling who they want to be instead of who the world tells them to become.
If you have been honest, shared truth, held courage at the helm with a horn and shouted, can you see this, then you might be a villain to someone. If you’ve bravely chosen not to comply with tyranny and grounded yourself in a moral framework of integrity, sovereignty and freedom, then you might be a villain to someone.
Ultimately, if someone wants to grow, they must come to the realization that they are likely not “all good” and thus one can conclude their enemy is probably not “all evil.” The extremes on the pendulum may vary but everyone is capable of doing things they would not want to admit, nor be proud of, should their life come to such a place.
Can you find within you the compassion to see how someone may view you as a villain and what they might feel like to them? Can you find compassion for your role in feeding the egregore when you were unaware….and then through the awakening process if you have gone through it? While not excusing evil behavior, nor condoning deception in any way, is it possible to find an ounce of compassion by recognize your shared villainhood to someone somewhere?
Let me be clear these two labels of villain do not hold the same meaning. Being authentic and telling the truth might get you the label of villain by those not ready to see certain things yet, but that does not make you one in the same sense of those that intentionally deceive and wear the same label. Ultimately the more you are “falsely” labeled villain by the outer world, the probability is you are likely becoming more and more the hero in your own life...after all it is always 2 sides of the same coin. Integration is seeing within ourselves the whole picture and seeking the middle, the center, the balance.
The system makes offers and we get to choose. The more conscious AND grounded one is, the more likely they will make better choices when the tyranny of the outer world extends an offer, temptation, or suggestion. Knowing this, we can simply say thank you for the offer but politely decline. Resisting and fighting it will keep it in the mind and thus in our lives, but starving it of our attention, energy and currency will make it shrink.
Ultimately to love thy enemy is to love the enemy within yourself for it is only the depths you can love yourself, including all of the darkness within you, that you can love another, that you can find compassion for another, that you can be honest with your part in the co-creation of reality. The devil and angel on your shoulder is you and you get to choose in every moment who you will extend a dance.
