Humans are master storytellers. From the moment we’re born, we’re programmed to create stories around everything—what we see, hear, feel, and even imagine. It’s a survival instinct, a way to make sense of the world, and it’s what helps us navigate our complex lives.
We all do it: we spin narratives in our heads to explain events, relationships, and the mysteries of the world. But here’s the problem: our storytelling instinct can be used against us, especially by crafty little devils writing nefarious plotlines.
Dangers of Power Unchecked:
Those who wish to manipulate others know how the human mind works. They understand that when multiple narratives are out there—conflicting ones, compelling ones, ones with enough emotional weight—we’ll naturally start filling in the gaps, mixing and matching the pieces. Confusion reigns. And when we can’t discern fact from fiction, we lose trust in ourselves.
Once that trust is gone, we hand it over to others—whether a politician, a religious figure, or anyone with an agenda—letting them write our story for us. We place our power in the hands of false idols, surrendering our ability to question, seek, and uncover the truth.
That’s why the inner work is so critical. To become the master of your mind— the seeker of knowledge, the one who questions, digs, and doesn’t take the first answer as gospel.
Truth and Knowledge Aren’t Given; They’re Earned:
This has always been the case. Historically, spiritual wisdom and sacred knowledge weren’t available to everyone at the drop of a hat. Access was reserved for the initiates, those who had earned the right to understand. But why?
Universal knowledge isn’t just about memorizing facts or parroting back what’s been said; it’s mastery. Initiates weren’t simply handed the keys to wisdom—they had to prove they could handle them.
And it was a lot to handle. Knowledge is hidden everywhere, and initiates were taught to look for the patterns.
Those patterns could only be decoded by those who understood mathematics, sound, vibration, frequency, geometry, astrology, astronomy, physics, and language.
Initiates also needed to comprehend metaphors and parables to reveal hidden truths.
Even today, this is not an easy task, as universal patterns must be uncovered. They only emerge when studying multiple texts, philosophies, and doctrines.
Another thing they had to do was demonstrate the discipline, focus, and self-control needed to access this sacred information. To go beyond their five senses, tapping into their sixth sense—their intuition, their inner knowing, their ability to perceive the world in ways that weren’t limited by what was immediately in front of them.
This wasn’t about intellectual comprehension alone. It was about aligning with higher wisdom, the kind of wisdom that isn’t influenced by fear, ego, or preconceived ideas. This higher wisdom is what allows us to interpret the world accurately. Without it, our perceptions are clouded by personal bias, emotions, and cultural conditioning. And when that happens, we can’t see things as they are.
The Role of Higher Wisdom:
Higher wisdom demands something from us: discipline, focus, and the courage to question everything. It requires a willingness to let go of fears, desires, and preconceived notions and to look at reality through the lens of universal truth, not personal bias.
In other words, we need to recognize that our perception is often distorted and separate ourselves from those distortions to see the world clearly. Only then can we process information as it is meant to be received without allowing our fears or hopes to shape it.
Truth and knowledge, then, aren’t things that can be handed to us. They must be sought after. They must be questioned. They must be earned.
Question Everything:
And yet, today, so many people accept what’s given to them without asking: “Is this real? Does this resonate with my truth?”
We live in a time where information is thrown at us from all angles, and most of it is delivered to shape our beliefs, behavior, and even identities. But if we don’t stop to question or pause to listen to our intuition, we risk becoming passive recipients of someone else’s story.
Using Your Third Eye:
To truly understand what’s in front of you, you need to rely on your third eye—your higher wisdom—to interpret what your two eyes see. What we’re often shown is just a part of the whole. There’s more beneath the surface, hidden beneath layers of misinformation, distractions, and manipulation.
Don’t let the BS drown out your inner voice. Seek, question, and trust yourself. The truth isn’t hiding from you—it’s waiting to be uncovered, patiently waiting for the initiates to walk the path, do the work, and face the challenges of seeing life as it is.
The Brave Path:
The bravest thing we can do is pause, close the book written for us, and take a step back to see life —not through the lens of the stories we’ve been told, but through our own eyes (all three), guided by intuition and wisdom.
Because when you commit to walking this path, and you’re willing to face the truth with an open heart and a discerning mind, she will always reveal herself. And when she does, you just might find the most eye-opening, life-altering story of all: your own.

I wrote the following on this subject;
Teaching and Conditioning and Memory
Teaching creates memories in the minds of us being taught, so that we can survive in, and contribute to, our environment.
Conditioning creates memories in the minds of us being conditioned, so that we can be controlled within our environment.
Teaching and conditioning are imposed on us in the same manner, the difference is how our reactions to the memories from teaching and conditioning affect our lives.
Our life is our memory, the teaching and conditioning is who we are.
Teaching and conditioning controls our beliefs, controls how we behave, and controls how we react.
We are puppets to our own memories.
We are puppets to our own memories because we pass our perceptions through our memory before the perceptions reach our consciousness.
Memory adds emotion, judgement and reaction to the perceptions as the perceptions passed through the memories that most closely matched the perceptions.
When the perceptions reach our consciousness, it is as thought which draws our attention because thought is a movement.
We react to the altered perceptions from memory as if the baggage that memory added was also the perception.
The baggage added from memory usually has more influence on our reaction than perceptions, because we view the baggage and perceptions as one.
We don’t react to our perceptions; we react to what our memory thinks about the perceptions, therefore our memory is running our lives and therefore we are puppets to our own memories.
This flow from our memory to our consciousness is constant when we are receiving perceptions from our environment, which is pretty much all our waking hours.
This constant flow keeps our attention on the flow because our consciousness believes this flow is the actual perceptions, consciousness does not realize the perceptions passed though memory and picked up baggage and that we are reaction to the baggage, not the perceptions.
We think and believe that we are perceiving actuality directly, but our attention is mostly on the baggage and the perceptions are peripheral, just enough to make our way.
The Matrix is composed of those whose attention is toward what their memory thinks about the perceptions, instead of attention being directed toward the perceptions without the baggage from memory.
When we can see now directly, thoughtlessly, then we are perceiving our life as it is being lived, and we are perceiving creation as it is being created.
We will be acting within our environment instead of reacting to what we think about our environment.
We will be outside the Matrix, outside looking in, visiting as we will.
We will be living as we are meant to live.
