We don’t belong here. We weren’t designed for this, but we are stuck in it. Nobody escapes without first embracing this.
The English language, and the entire thought process behind it, lacks the facility for handling this discussion properly. So it is with most European tongues. It’s quite a chore to put this discussion in plain terms, which is why I often resort to fiction to introduce the underlying concepts. But today we are going to try our best to make sense of it in somewhat clinical terms.
Our current plane of existence is a mess. Worse, it can’t be fixed. It’s basically a prison, so it’s not supposed to be nice. Any effort we expend in making it nicer must be sensibly limited to things we can actually do. The problem is primarily one of perception. There is another plane of existence, but everything around us militates against that idea, never mind how to access it.
If the notion of another plane of existence finds root in your mind, there is some hope for you. It shows some part of you has been awakened to the inherent conflict in each of us, making us long for something better. It shows you also possess sufficient skepticism to avoid being suckered into thinking that “better” has to be here. The next step is helping you realize just about everything around you is built to keep that other plane, that Other Side, away from you.
The easiest thing about keeping it away from us is mixing. Any amount of truth in the matter, plus one single plausible falsehood, is all it takes. It’s as if someone is presenting any number of combinations, each indicating some sort of parallel universe, none of which actually exist. Each is offered as “The Way of Truth” and each has its own mix of flaws, designed to soothe the haunting question born in each of us in our many varieties of needs. Any way you can be channeled into an acceptable failure will do, because the most dangerous thing of all is escaping the channels.
The primary reason this works so well is all of us instinctively fear being alone, so we keep seeking some sense of inclusion somewhere. We even get deluded about that, given there is any number of classical Loner channels to make us feel accepted and recognized in our fake uniqueness. That’s just one example of channeling and herding. Nobody escapes that easily. We all have vulnerabilities, subject to endless ways of manipulation, keeping us in the prison.
So the first step is something in you recognizing you are in prison, as it were. Until you embrace that fully, you can’t possibly consider escape.
