The Only Way Out Is Within

“More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than in any other way.” – Glen Cook

Today it feels like I am constantly bombarded by a hundred different forms of propaganda and that I reside in the midst of a dozen always-competing psychological operations. I find it glaringly overt now. There is no subtlety in it anymore, or perhaps there never was. I do not believe there are any real “sides” in all of this, but that it is all just an attempt to get me to take a side and join the “fight for justice”—to “join the cause” of whichever psychological operation can hook into my limbic system and activate my survival response. It is a game of divide and conquer.

And this game, for control of your consciousness, has been going on since the dawn of time. It is what every spiritual teacher has tried to warn you about—usually at the cost of their own lives.

The only way out of this is not to play the game, because the objective of this game is to keep you separated from your authentic nature and your identity of truth, which manifests as unconditional love. As soon as you pick a “side” and join “the fight for justice,” you lose the war, and you lose yourself. You are being called to go within and raise your conscious awareness. This is how the war against your consciousness is to be fought in the Aquarian Age.

From the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age

We have entered the Aquarian Age. In the Piscean Age, knowledge was power because knowledge was limited and hierarchical. The focus was ego and competition for resources. But as the yogis correctly predicted thousands of years ago, in the Aquarian Age knowledge becomes a commodity—so abundant and fluid that the human mind won’t be able to cope with it. It will either be entirely overburdened or completely compartmentalized. The mind will be so overwhelmed by information that it will not be able to tell the true from the false, or up from down. The prediction was that unless humans learn to go within themselves and access higher consciousness (intuition), they will be completely manipulated and will eventually go insane.

Your mind does not have the capacity to process the volume of information it is being bombarded with. I don’t care how intelligent you are—this is the truth. You are being hijacked through your pain, and that pain is used to project a world that is not real: to create enemies that don’t exist and to pull you into a fight that only leads you farther and farther away from your true nature of unconditional love, and into a dark realm of suffering. Please take this as an opportunity to go within.

If it sounds like I am saying “do nothing” and let the injustices of the world carry on, I can assure you that I am not. I am asking you to stop perpetuating suffering and pain through your conflict and your resistance. I am asking you to do the hardest thing imaginable, which is to go within and heal yourself before trying to heal the world—to face yourself, to face the horror of the situation inside you. This is what will heal the world.
