The Cost of Truth

The Cost of Truth

In a society as full of propaganda and illusion as the one we currently live in, the world is turned upside down and inside out. 1000’s are killed in the name of ‘freedom’ and human rights are disappearing one by one. It seems ludicrous to one who is informed, but it is truly scary how many actually believe in it. Of course we as humanity have not yet figured out that the quickest way to take freedom is in the name of freedom. Those trapped in the mind can be controlled so easily.

Try telling a few of them that they are Christians due to various historical quirks, not the least of which is the guilt of the murderous Roman Emperor Constantine. Throw them a few facts about their hero Lincoln’s killing of the Indians and burning down of towns. Suggest that perhaps the stories they were told in elementary school are not the whole of history. Being the bearer of truth may well put you directly in the line of fire.

Members of your family and co-opted friends could turn their back on you and blame you as if you are always being ‘negative’. They can justify it in their own minds because bringing up realities such as the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives being taken and of course, you hate America. How dare you disturb their cherished illusions? It is atrocious that you would appeal to the conscience and empathy that they don’t have!

When you do not go with the status quo, even your very existence seems an offence to them. There is nothing more threatening than an individual who will not play along. Why has the society always taken revenge on the brightest among us? It is quite likely that those who wrap their deeds in Christianity would not stand for the presence of Christ. He would disturb their deception and he might even speak up for the under represented. Off to crucifixion again.

This is precisely why so many do not give voice to their perceptions. They do not want to be viciously attacked, so they just eek along in silence trying to stay out of the way. This is a form of psychic imprisonment. As Bob Marley said, “No chains around my feet, but I’m not free.” Truth is literally discriminated against. It could hurt your chances of getting or keeping a job and leave you isolated in your circumstance. Often what you get in return for reminding the world of their denial is scorn.

What is good in it? Why live truthfully and dig out the hidden reality that is locked behind a collective mental prison? To free your soul! As long as you believe in mind stuff you will never have any space in your body for the soul to enter in. Rigidly holding to fixed ideas is the quickest way to kill your own heart and reinforce this condition in others. It is a spiritual emergency as this disease is spreading like wildfire with the flames being fanned by those who seek to control the whole world.

There is no other way to get back to the reality of life on Earth than to unravel that which has infiltrated our minds from the outside. Some of it may have even been delivered by others who thought they were doing us a favor. This is part of the program. Can you see the cold hard truths? Can you set free the deeper meaning of incarnation? Can you find your own divinity before it is too late? It is time to look these questions in the eye and reevaluate the situation we find ourselves in.

There is no ideology more sacred than any another because they all exist only in the mind of man and are intrinsically false. What would you discover if you were the first being who arrived on the planet and there was nobody else to tell you what to believe? Most likely you would observe nature, take delight in the sunlight, and begin to express your own creative role in the Universe. Until we get back to this basic harmony with Life, the suffering will go on and on.
