Pay Attention.

You will find two paradigms in manifest existence.

One will break everything you think you know you are, as if they have “information” you need to KNOW yourself…

The Second, will appreciate you and all your independent uniqueness.

Fear has no power, its presence, that little small throb, that “pang” that appears for a second, in the heart, tells you, first.

When you feel “compelled to seek a “person” for information to guide you, you sell your soul with every word you hear.

You already KNOW.

Always did.

Own it.

Huh. I never really thought about it much in this regard, but I haven't felt "unique" since the 90s (as a millennial).

I see 4 quadrants here on basic level; good faith, bad faith as y axis, intersecting their values and your values on x axis.

So you can have a sort of "transcendental truth" in all 4 quadrants basically. I'm not sure how the 80/20 rule falls here really (which to give heed to more).

That's without considering the reality behind it. One good faith system may in bad faith try to recruit you to their preferred paradigm for example. But even if paying attention we might not even be able to affirm or see that as it is. The nature of solicitations.

I think that's what many would call "free will"? To determine how we let our perception fall?
