Where there is an attempt to manipulate another, there is also the compulsion of envy that cannot tolerate the freedom it observes. The constant reminder of its own self generated prison. Instead of using one’s energy to transcend, the one possessed by envy uses it to destroy the other to its own level of awareness, to feel once again like an insider: emotionally safe from unfamiliarity that sparks their mind to question about the nature of their life beyond the uniform they conform to. So the one who is committed to finding their full expression, even amongst a land where most are not, one must have the emotional stability gifted by the skill of introspection to continue the journey; because there will be attempts for their freedom to be brought to halt. The conformist will preach to you with their sound logic only relevant to supporting the existence of their tribe, with bargains of safety & advancement up their totem pole. This is of course without the consideration that there are other poles to climb that are far different from theirs. These messages will be emotionally charged & pervasive across the setting which suggests there is no other way to prosper in life. That the worlds which exist outside of their limited sphere are impossible to navigate, & are characterized only by treacherous waters that lead to a gruesome death. They will repeat tales of distant stories of those who met their doom; & will have no rapport with those who succeeded in those same waters. These logical & convincing monologues are expressed not for the wellbeing of the aspiring adventurer, but for the validation of the tribe’s beliefs & code of conduct which suffocates the chief’s mind into thoughtless submission to the dogma. To climb the ranks requires greater & greater levels of embodying not one’s authentic values, but whatever values the fearful tribe has decided keep their unit intact & inflexible. So the chief scoffs at the fledglings who still remember their natural expressions who bide their time at the ground; waiting patiently for an opening to appear to leave the circus for good. “Why wouldn't you want to climb the ladder I have? You must be confused or incompetent,” the leaders will say to the ones whose eyes are still bright with ambitions for their inevitable departure. & upon their leave which they have diligently prepared for, will come the loudest emotions of rebuttals from credentialled members with their most intricate logic as a final effort to save themselves from introspection. To buffer themselves from the truth serum that begins to flow of “Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there is more out there beyond these walls.” But because this would ensure their hypocrisy would be exposed to themselves & their audience, they suppress it in the form of rebuking change.
At this final push for transformation, the individual must remain as inwardly focused as those who are shouting outwardly. For if their line of focus with their inner guidance is broken, it will create the opening for the elaborate distraction to work as intended. To seep into the emotions of the intended receptor to control him or her from within. The one who resists this will be considered the largest fool of the tribe. People you used to know & communicate with frequently will give you expressions of fear. But this is only because you have found yourself in an arena of the lost. So continue the discovery. Meet others along the way who went through the same, lonely right of passage to attain their newfound freedom. Share stories of your courage to become the tipping point for those whose minds are half awake half captured. Be the solution which dissolves the conditioned barriers of minds who desire to remember the real path of evolution; undistracted by the entertaining open prisons of the world.
