Entities That Distort
Throughout history, entities have taken the truth and distorted it to make people believe rather than know. This has made humanity dependent and compliant. We are enlightened beings who are taught to forget through subtle distractions.
Creating a systematic shift from active knowing (experiential understanding, critical thought and alignment with reality) to passive believing (blind acceptance of dogma, reliance on external authorities and emotional compliance) changed us.
When people know something through direct experience, they possess and maintain internal sovereignty. When we are forced to simply believe a top-down narrative from birth, however, we become dependent on the stories provided for us.
Knowing takes effort,
while believing offers comfort.
We’re taught to believe in and argue about words, so one highly sophisticated way to distort the truth is through language which completely subverts meaning. When language is used to describe truth, it corrupts immediately, and people lose the capacity to evaluate their reality accurately.
True knowledge relies on a repeatable outcome, but entities seeking control replace method with divine mysteries and exclusive revelations.
When we join a group, we have to learn a new language which captures us through words when our reality is beyond words. If we learn words such as Rigpa, Dzogchen, Sunyata, Turiya, Dharmakaya … they all simply mean pure consciousness, which is beyond comprehension.
What a very strange world we live in. 😀
And I thought it was normal. 😀
