Loyalty Through the Ages

Loyalty through the Ages

As thought patterns loop around each other conjuring various associations and subconscious references, it is extremely crucial to remember that personal positions are subjective. No matter how certain it seems, the only ones being fooled are those immeasurably immersed in self-righteousness. They believe that the moral high ground necessary to interfere in other’s affairs is attained simply by whim of inclination.

Of all the relationship habits that permeate our every day life, one of the most subtle and deceptive is taking for granted as a known, that which has already disappeared with the past. In our mind, we carry the knowledge we have collected and when encountering something new, we reference the old. Those who access the old and assume that the new person they are engaging has not changed are in fact committing a violent act. When expectations and false witnessing are finished painting a distorted picture in the name of Love, that which was supposedly being protected has in fact been irreparably damaged.

Beyond the mundane clicking of teeth and the fair weathered comrades, the brethren to hold higher than all others are those who display the intangible characteristic of undying loyalty. Philosophizing is fun and effective in the board room, but who will stand by you when the real world situation becomes a little edgy? We all know disappearing act specialists who would leave you to fry and a few of us know those who whether they agree on the petty details or not, will stand to the end because that is what true friends do.

This unbreakable bond is forged not by interpersonal chicanery, but is rooted in each individual’s dedication to uncover the truth wherever it lies. Specific circumstances will pass, but what is left is the effect that the exposure of information has had on the soul residing within the body. The process happens on its own and needs no cultivation other than the continued exploration of interests. Conviction is necessary to follow the leads.

The sharing of paranoid fears may sometimes masquerade as a caring exchange, but the effect it has on the listener is the gauge of the original message’s effectiveness. To feel called without restraint to examine another’s painstaking revelations and to further undermine self-confidence by the introduction of doubt into another’s psyche is to destroy the natural joy of free expression and may be seen by some as an attack on God.

Pleasing everybody is a ludicrous thought. Each person’s uniqueness underscores that the revelations sprung forth from an entity in tune with their source will be original and perhaps viewed as being in conflict with established parameters of thought. This is how inspiration when backed by Will has to make decisions based on the spirit of the matter.

There is nothing more paralyzing to self, than focusing on another. The distortion can become so bad that even when given a platform for their own voice and every opportunity to illucidate their own position, the misguided will still turn back on another and demand that they change instead! It is a slippery slope that is best not ventured down. Nothing is more impossible than the attempt to explain something to someone whose mind is already made up.

Critical voices always attempt to chip away at the edifices of creation. They should not be opposed, but ignored. Treachery is best exposed in seed form. Stay the course and do what you feel you must for the good of all people. Purity of intention guides with a steady hand.
