The World As I See It

There are too many false "red herring”[1] types of explanations as to why there is destructive chaos in this seemingly ordered world. So, let me keep this short and simple: we (collectively, as a human species) are beginning to understand the connection between inner-life (mental) and outer-life (physical). The detriment to refusing to seek within leads to destructive results, such as bloody protests (explicit) and a slow but steady robbing of the financial existence of the individual (implicit). This is the microcosm/macrocosm connection that cannot be ignored any longer. The voice of intuition is real inside each and every one of us. Attempting to silence the intuitive gnosis, which is the foundation of true/unadulterated/liberated existence, leads to a sad state of nature we see playing out on the depressing reports on television and the inner strife the soul feels when it is not allowed to exist as it was intended to: as its own free will and nature, without coercive forces lessening the miracle of existence.

 

What exactly is this driving force behind the push to silence the unlimited potential of individual and collective human beings? There are many expressions of this universal force, but at its core it can be described in one word: evil. In other words, the power of dark versus the power of light. If you look at a yin-yang symbol, you see there is a balance between these archetypal forces of white and dark. What I am trying to explain to you is that there is currently an imbalance between these universal forces. If we take a “full circle” perspective, there will be a need for dark to juxtapose light in order so that light can have a definable existence in relation to its polar opposite. When there is too much darkness and not enough light, we begin to forget what exactly light is! There must be a balance of forces within ourselves so this balance can express itself in the three dimensional matrix known as life on planet Earth. Too much darkness allows for Plato’s Cave[2] to become real: what we believe to be genuine light is merely manipulated light as transformed by our oppressors. The manipulated light force transforms cosmic love into cosmic hate. Until we remember what true light is we will continue to be fooled by the purposefully manipulate shadows on the wall. Spending your entire life in the Cave will lead you to believe that darkness is light. Do you now see the danger is silencing your inner voice of reason and gnosis? Light workers are trying their best to reawaken humanity to the true light source again. But, as the allegory goes, when you try to show others the light, they yearn for  more darkness and attack the illuminators. This makes facilitating such an awakening an extremely dangerous yet extremely critical job.

[1] Red Herring: This is a diversionary tactic that avoids the key issues, often by avoiding opposing arguments rather than addressing them. Example:

 

The level of mercury in seafood may be unsafe, but what will fishers do to support their families?

 

In this example, the author switches the discussion away from the safety of the food and talks instead about an economic issue, the livelihood of those catching fish. While one issue may affect the other it does not mean we should ignore possible safety issues because of possible economic consequences to a few individuals.

[2] The Allegory of the Cave—also known as the Analogy of the Cave, Plato's Cave, or the Parable of the Cave—is an allegory presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work The Republic to illustrate "our nature in its education and want of education" (514a). It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and Plato's mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter at the beginning of Book VII (514a–520a). The Allegory of the Cave is presented after the metaphor of the sun (508b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–513e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Book VII and VIII (531d–534e).

 

Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato's Socrates, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners.

 

The Allegory may be related to Plato's Theory of Forms, according to which the "Forms" (or "Ideas"), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. Only knowledge of the Forms constitutes real knowledge. In addition, the Allegory of the Cave is an attempt to explain the philosopher's place in society: to attempt to enlighten the "prisoners."

 

Plato's Phaedo contains similar imagery to that of the Allegory of the Cave; a philosopher recognizes that before philosophy, his soul was "a veritable prisoner fast bound within his body... and that instead of investigating reality by itself and in itself it is compelled to peer through the bars of its prison."
