We all have a theory.
Which we use to protect ourselves
The theory is always a metaphor, a myth, a symbol, an image
It is not literal truth
But it is signalling truth that can only be told in this way.
To tell the truth directly puts us in danger
So we use a theory instead to say it and stay out of danger
Why is truth dangerous to me?
Because it means a must confess my complicity in the actual truth
It is that I have submitted my eternal god given freedom, to authority on the earth, wilfully
And that public revelation will bring guilt and shame on me at least
Perhaps physical pain and death too.
By others who have not yet seen this possibility
So I signal truth using a myth, a conspiracy theory.
Tell me again, what is this truth?
Just that. That it's not a cabal of wealth and power who are forcing me to submit my obedience to them
It's much worse
That I have wilfully submitted it, by free choice, to gain the validation of the tribe, on the earth.
This validation from submission brings far greater material reward and social standing than keeping what God gave me at birth
So I submit that absolute and unconditional freedom to authority.
It is this foundation of truth that causes me such guilt and shame which I go on to project onto the world. In a futile attempt to get rid of it.
And feel great shame and guilt for it.
To hide from that I'm now willing to play my part for my tribe in destroying the world, though my projections.
Is anyone exempt from this pathology?
Yes, you are. By recognising that you are doing this unconsciously.
Bring this shadow out. By shining inner light onto it. To cast a shadow which can now be observed.
That is the first step. The only step. For all other steps that follows you will know what to do.
We all have a theory. There are no exceptions.
