The Illusion of Truth
There's a glaring contradiction in a world where everyone claims to want the truth. People say they seek it, but their desire for truth is often not rooted in a genuine yearning to live by it. Instead, they aim to use it as a weapon to assert power over others. They talk about enlightenment, justice, and authenticity, but when push comes to shove, how many truly stand by the words they spin?
Notice how people love to speak in grand terms, throwing around words that sound profound and righteous. Yet, when it comes time to embody those words and live by them, they falter. The truth is uncomfortable. It demands change, accountability, and a willingness to confront the darkest parts of ourselves. But rather than face that discomfort, many choose to hide, block, or run away. They cast shade, deflect blame, and twist narratives to maintain their ego-driven superiority.
When their power is challenged, they take off. Their egos can’t handle the heat of a genuine conversation, so they turn others into villains, making them wrong so they can feel right. They refuse to own their part because admitting fault would shatter the illusion of control they cling to so tightly. But here’s the deal: energy and light are not emotional. They don’t bend to the whims of human weakness. They are what they are—pure, strong, and unwavering.
True light doesn’t crumble in the face of lies; it remains steadfast, shining the truth for all to see. In contrast, the false prophets of our modern world—those who preach one thing and live another—cannot withstand the light. When the facade is stripped away, they’re left pointing fingers, casting blame, and spinning new tales to cover their tracks. But energy, light, and a genuine heart don’t engage in blame—they exist. They exist in their purity, untouched by the pettiness of the ego.
The struggle to maintain authenticity becomes even more evident, especially in a world that loves to steal, blame, prosecute, and claim. It’s far too easy to fall into the trap of using truth to gain power or shield oneself from the consequences of one’s actions. But this approach is fundamentally flawed. Truth isn’t something to be wielded or manipulated; it must be lived, embodied, and demonstrated through action.
Let’s face it: at the end of the day, it’s all just business. Many who claim to stand for something crumble under pressure. Is it blocking someone just because they asked for clarification? That’s not strength; it’s a failure to confront reality, a sign of insecurity in one’s light and energy. Taking offence where none was intended is simply a way to avoid addressing the real issues, and it’s a far cry from the authenticity that genuine spirituality demands.
My advice? Stop running. Start looking within. Examine your courage—do you have the strength to engage in difficult conversations and face them head-on with the light and energy you often claim to possess? This is the actual test of your authenticity. Is your light genuine, or is it just a uniform you wear when it suits you, when it’s convenient, and when it makes you seem enlightened in the eyes of others? No one can lead others to their freedom. That journey is personal; no book, card, or lecture can take you there. These are all constructs of the human mind—a mind that loves to dictate, control, and retreat when things get tough. Preaching when the path is smooth is easy, but what happens when it gets bumpy? Do you stand by your words, or do they fall away like chaff in the wind?
In the end, truth isn’t something you can wield over others. It’s something you must live every day, in every interaction. Stop spinning yarns to convince yourself or others. Instead, let your actions, willingness to face the hard conversations, and commitment to living your truth be the measure of your enlightenment.
