The Gold Pill
The hardest pill to swallow.
We all know the allegory from the Matrix films. The Blue pill is believing that government is good, the world is fine the way it is, and accepting everything like a willing slave. The Red pill is seeing through the illusion and realizing the situation we’re in as a species. Of course, you want to take the Red pill so that you can see the truth and understand what’s really going on, but we have to take it a step further.
There’s another symbolic “pill” to take. This one isn’t about the political illusion or the control system. You can take the Red pill and understand what’s going on externally but still be Blue-pilled about true spiritual awakening. You have to take it to a higher level… a level of action. What are you creating? What are you doing to help turn the tide?
After you’ve come to that fork in the road between the Red pill and Blue pill, and you take the Red pill, guess what? There’s another fork coming up. Now you’re standing before the Black Pill and the Gold Pill. The sad thing is, most people choose the Black pill. When you take that one you’re ultimately saying, “fuck taking real-world action and doing the right thing. Fuck putting my creativity to work in the world to try to inspire others to change. We’re all just fucked, and doomed, and I’m too much of a coward to do anything. Poor powerless little me. I’m just going to make myself comfortable here in hell, and fuck everyone else.” That’s sad and pathetic. That’s pure Satanic ego and folly.
The Gold pill is what Shadow Work will lead you to. Shadow Work is what you need to FORCE upon yourself so you never take the Black pill. If you know what’s going on and you have knowledge to share that can help others awaken, you do NOT have the right to sit on that and do nothing. Knowing that evil is running amok and doing nothing to change that situation is evil, in and of itself.
The Gold pill is being truly honest with yourself, activating yourself and doing the Great Work to end slavery. It starts with Shadow Work: no more excuses, no more lying to yourself, no more cowardice. The Gold pill, sadly, is the one most people want nothing to do with because it comes with personal responsibility and true self-respect. It makes you stop pointing the finger outward and back towards the self and saying, “What have I done to improve things? How am I creating change? What am I doing to inspire others?” And once you’ve done that inner work, the next step is action – becoming an active moral educator and teacher of Natural Law principles. That’s the Wisdom step of the Trivium. Know, Understand, ACT. If you’re not Gold-pilled, you’re still part of the problem.
The only reason it seems that things are getting worse, and that there’s less and less hope, is because there aren’t enough Gold-pilled teachers in the world. We can’t have more teachers unless we become teachers. WE create an awakening through our actions.
To get an idea of what work you’ve done to help people, put your name in a search engine, in double quotes. Whatever results you get back can be considered a mirror of your efforts or lack thereof. Did you get good results? If not, it’s time to get to work. The universe doesn’t work on wishes and hope, it responds to your effort. Stop complaining and expecting magical results, and start contributing. Start doing the required Work. Power through it with Courage, Conviction, and Care.
