Principles & Priorities
...as an awake content creator.
A collection of mini-rants on content creation / truthsaying:
While I love a good fictional story, whether reading one or writing one, this isn’t the time to be distracted and pulled into escapist fantasies. We have work to do. We need to bring the ugly truth to light, from both within ourselves and the external world. All the manifested evil we see is a reflection of our own ignorance and unwillingness to acknowledge our part in the problem. As within, so without.
We can’t ignore the negative. Doing that only ever allows evil to fester and grow. We have to acknowledge it, steel ourselves against it, and take right action to stop it.
We’re in a war right now. A war for consciousness. A war for truth. A war for freedom. If you understand what’s at stake, and you understand what we’re up against, you need to get on the battlefield. Right now, the battlefield is the mind, spirit and body. Our voice is our weapon, and truth is our ammunition. The actual truth, not personal whims and beliefs. Lies are believed. Truth is known.
And the truth is… we’re all in the condition of slavery. Every country is a plantation, and we keep picking between two masters. And those masters have their own masters. From the hidden hand to the think-tanks, the politicians, the standing armies, and to the general population, it’s a perpetual master-slave dynamic.
If we want to break that abuse-victim cycle and end this condition, we have to use our creative powers to educate, influence and uplift others. If you want to write fiction, make it allegorical. Teach through storytelling. Teach through poetry. Teach through film and music. Whatever you do, do it to help others awaken and become teachers themselves. If we keep that momentum going then we might actually change course.
Don’t fault those who write differently and speak candidly about these issues. Read their work, too. We don’t have time to shirk philosophy and spirituality in favor of escapism. Knowledge is required to change things. Use your spiritual currencies of Time and Attention for the true income of knowledge – of the Self, the reality in which the Self exists, and how those dynamics work together to create either Good or Evil in the world. That’s far more important than valueless pieces of paper or digits on a screen. Yes, resources are necessary to do this work, but that should never be the reason you do it.
Speaking the Truth is an act of Agapé Love. Sometimes it’s Tough Love. Truth can be both beautifully enlightening and terrifying, but it’s the only way out. It has to be heard, acknowledged, and accepted no matter how painful it is or how offended it makes you. And then you have to start doing the right thing which can be just as difficult. Lies are easy to hear. Apathy is easy. Evil is easy. Letting ego take the wheel is easy. Taking in the truth and acting on it is one of the hardest things to do, but is has to be done. If we don’t, evil wins.
Put principles first. First things must come first, especially in times like these when freedom is rapidly on the wane. Putting pleasure, selfish interest and worldly reward before truth and right action, in a time of suffering, will only contribute to more suffering.
I love escapism, and it’s fine in small doses. We all need a break once in a while. The problem is when we camp out there and pretend like all the evils going on in the world don’t affect us. When we ignore that, we perpetuate it.
We all have a moral duty right now. We are all charged with a divine task: to raise consciousness (our own and others) and put an end to slavery. We need the numbers. We need that critical mass. Reaching it requires each of us to learn and teach the principles of Sovereignty and Natural Law. This is our Great Work. Applied knowledge is true power.
Care, Conscience and Conviction are the 3 C’s we need to cultivate. Care for Truth, Freedom and Justice; the Knowledge of the objective difference between Right and Wrong; and the Purpose, Sacrifice and Will-Power to do the right thing in the face of evil.
We’re not here to be passive observers, but to be active participants. We came here – to this physical domain – to change things… to end the cycle of evil. That is our collective purpose. Start learning and teaching. Make content that can help the world wake up. Make truth louder than the soft-spoken, comfortable, ego-placating lies.
