The antidote to black-pilled.....

Integration of the lesson to not shoot the messenger

I know I always tell others (generally my overwhelmingly-liberal friends/family members) “the message is not the person who brought it; you have to evaluate the actual information and consider how much truth it contains on it’s own merit!” Generally, none of these loved ones are able to separate themselves from their personal perceptions of that particular messenger, whoever-it-is, and thus judge the message entirely upon that without even hearing the message itself, at all.

I find myself repeating this statement over and over again, and I always feel absurdly disappointed when they do not, even though I realize that most of the time they are actually incapable of this. They typically shoot the messenger. They dismiss anything that falls from that messenger’s mouth as impossible, irrelevant; ridiculous, and they do not allow themselves to even entertain the idea of listening. They are not able to hear a single thing that the messenger brings forth. It is as if the message and the listener are not even sharing the same plane of existance. And in actuality, they aren’t….because they do not share the same level of Consciousness.

This is an illustration of how perception is controlled by the Consciousness of the perceiver. It is impossible to comprehend (perceive of) something that exists at a higher state of Consciousness than where you yourself are currently at. One way to look at that is to consider how a wolf can never be anything more or less than a wolf; do you get angry at the wolf for being a predator and doing what wolves do? In the 1989 movie The Abyss, the character Lindsay described this in a scene with the paranoid Navy Seal commander who was unable to recognize the otherworldliness of the strange and impossible phenomena happening around them as anything more a stealth attack by political enemies, “Coffey sees Russians.” You can dismiss this limited perception entirely as mental disorder caused by physical conditions (and you wouldn’t be wrong), however on an energetic level, what is going on is all about levels of Consciousness. Conciousness perceives that which is its same level, and all levels lower than itself….but not that which is higher.

Conciousness has a vibration which is measurable, because it is energy. And energy is what powers the Universe. Energy merges with whatever does not have a barrier against it, creating new forms as both evolve. Here in the physical embodiment that is the Earth realm, our physical vessels are the barriers which prevent full merge; that’s the point of us coming here to learn these lessons through this physical experience in these meatsuits. So, as physical merging is impossible, instead energy plays out its manifestation in this Earth experience by polarizing itself into the two elements that come together in Creation; the electric masculine and the magnetic feminine principles. One of the cosmic laws of the Universe is the Law of Gender, which teaches that everything in the universe is masculine or feminine; “gender is in everything.“ And expressing the Law of Gender, Conciousness experiences itself by polarizing and attracting itself to itself. It also expresses the Law of Polarity. In this way, like attracts like, and that which is not alike will be repelled. Cosmic Law can not be avoided, perception of it can only be manipulated. “Growing apart” is a perceptual way of describing an organic process that happens when people at different levels of consciousness try to co-exist in the same physical space for an extended period of time. They cannot. They must either merge and form something new, or separate.

And so, if we apply this awareness to everything that happens around us…..we are able to discern that which resonates with us as truth in all the messages that we are bombarded with every day, regardless of who is saying it. All humans have this ability, but in order to access it….we must keep our minds open and look through a lens of curiosity. This can require deliberate effort; it doesn’t come easy.

The stark realization that every system I had spent my entire life believing had good intentions (if poor outcomes) was actually a Trojan horse hiding an agenda of manipulation, control and deliberate harm made me so disillusioned that I was finding myself automatically dismissing 100% of anything coming from anyone that I identified as perpetrators or useful idiots. Essentially, all people who didn’t think the same way that I do. This created a state of psychological lock-down; a closed mind, unable to take in any new information. It caused me to become cynically pessimistic, and fueled a desire for seperation, retreat, and nonparticipation in creating the world that I do want. In other words, I was doing the exact same thing that I was encouraging my loved ones NOT to do.

There is some truth in most information that comes out, regardless of who is spreading the message, and the lesson is always to discern. You cannot be discerning if you are cut off and unable to allow the message to come into your awareness for exploration and discovery. Whatever resonates will do so because it matches your own level of Consciousness….and what doesn’t will fall away. But we must allow ourselves to hear it, and decide for ourselves. So we must be intentionally aware of our own tendencies to shoot the messenger, and trust our own internal guidance system.

It is, after all, of the Divine.
