Dodging Defences

W

hen we decide to finally start telling those around us the truth of our experience of them, it is a near-certainty that they will oppose us with every fibre of their beings.

This is not because they are evil or because they are corrupt or because we are doing something “wrong.”

This is because they are frightened.

People oppose us when we speak the truth because they like to hide in shadows – because when we bring the light of truth into their dark and fearful worlds, they actually see their own darkness, which is invisible to them when there is no light.

People live in the dark because they pretend that there is no such thing as light.

When the light appears, it reminds them that darkness is a

choice

, not an absolute.

Flying from Flight…

If it turned out that gravity was an illusion, and that you could fly simply by picturing it, wouldn’t you feel rather foolish for all the time you spent walking or waiting for the bus?

And – more importantly – how would you feel about all those who taught you that flying was impossible?

If, for your whole life, you could have experienced the joy and freedom of flight at will, how would you feel about those who had told you that flight was not only impossible, but

evil

?

What would that do to your image and picture of the world, if with your new understanding you saw the natural and beautiful wings of children

being torn out at the roots in the name of virtue and goodness?

Would you begin to understand what type of people really run the world?

Would the wars, famines, religious conflicts, dictatorships, prisons, gulags, genocides, murders, kidnappings and child abuse all begin to make sense?

It is a simple logical correlation that we are in hot pursuit of in these pages.

The world is full of evil, and no one is allowed to speak the truth.

Throughout history, men have striven to rid the world of evil

by creating institutions capable of doing evil – religions, governments, and the absolute authority of parents.

They have continued to do this despite the fact that not only do these institutions not rid the world of evil

, but the evils in the world continue to increase.

Thus we can only surmise that the alternative to speaking the truth is even worse. The alternative to all the evils described above is even worse.

The alternative is, of course, discovering that we are turned towards evil through our love of goodness. That we are lied to about virtue in order to lead us to vice.

Let me put forward a simple proposition to illustrate what I mean.

Evil and Lying

Pretend that you are a child again. If a vase lies

broken, your mother will command you to tell her who broke it. If you evade or lie, you will be morally attacked, because

lying is wrong

!

However, when her friends

are over, if you tell them that sometimes she drinks in the morning, you are attacked for being “rude” and “inappropriate” and “airing our dirty laundry in public.”

This is the simple principle. It has nothing to do with morality

If you are in possession of information that those in power want you to reveal, it is

“immoral” to lie.

If you are in possession of information that those in power

don’t

want you to reveal, it is “immoral” to tell the truth.

You are led to serve those in power – the foundational root of all institutionalized evils – by your very desire to be good – to not be called

“immoral.”

In other words, the devils

destroy you with angels. The devils of this world destroy you with the angels of your nature.

The world is evil

because we want to be good.

We are enslaved because we want to be free – of vice.

Every evil man in the world knows how desperately we want to be good. That is why Hitler had his soldiers swear an oath of loyalty to him before turning them on the rest of Europe. He knew that they would want to keep their word, and so would not need to be ruled by force.

World War II would have been impossible without this

“integrity.”

“

Virtue” created a Holocaust; it created Soviet gulags, Chinese starvation, American prisons and African famines.

Whoever owns the definition of virtue

owns mankind.

This we all know. This, deep down, does not surprise us at all. It is our desire to be good – according to the terms of evil

men – that turns us to the service of evil.

False virtue

makes true vice.

The reason that I wanted to talk about all of this before we get into how you can recognize the defences of others is so that you understand the stakes involved in what you are about to do.

Really, it’s not about exposing the lies of your mother.

It’s about saving lives in the future.

Honesty and Proof

If we lie to evade an unjust punishment, we are called

“bad.”

If, by telling the truth, we inflict a just punishment, we are called

“bad.”

This is the simple evil

of the world.

However in this – as in all things I write – there is absolutely no reason to take my word for it in any way at all.

If your mother ever told you not to lie, how do you think she should logically react when you tell her the truth about how you feel?

Because telling the truth is

good

, right?

Will she praise you for your honesty

?

Try it and see.
