Ignorance allows for oppression. The less that you know about yourself and are disconnected from the truth, the more you can be controlled. This is the truth.

The extraordinary thing is that this is the very same story also told by those who want to control you and will attempt to hook you with it. So, the question is, and ultimately comes back to, "Who is telling the truth"?

Usually, the one who is most invested in having you agree with them, has the more greatly deformed version of reality. Deforming reality, by reducing its field, is perhaps the greatest lie. So many facts are simply delusions planted as seeds to grow in our collective minds. One of the greatest fuels for delusion is the hunger for recognition: Our systems both thrive on it and derive it.

A second great lie to further inculcate the confusion is complication. If a thing is complicated enough, we may give up owing to frustration and exhaustion from the task of understanding, from tainted thinking. There is presented a wonderful labyrinth, that of course, contains sufficient truths to tantalise the mind, but never the truth.

These two, in combination, starve us of truth whilst overloading our waking life with information that has little to do with True Life. We then add our own special touch to this fiasco by wanting to own this confusion as our own. I want my part in it: I want to be a player. We live in a cave of desires where where we can only see our own images as true and other people's beliefs as lies. The separated ego has its want and goes to war. Then we can fight each other over imbecilic notions of right and wrong. By focussing on the right and the wrong of things we miss the Truth that is not possessed by either pole. The truth will not be found in the North, nor in the South; such argueing is folly. You will not find it in the media, nor in mouths of politician.

Perhaps the farmer may see more of it than the financier; the less learned more that most of the intelligentsia . Perhaps....? Mostly our human society begs for knowledge to improve our lives. It gives rise to the attraction of knowledge and greed. We then fall foul of false promises, like that of the billionaire who wants to share his get rich quickly secrets in a self-help book for workers on the minimum wage. The book will be found to full of cliches about the ethics of earning a crust. You may be allowed a bite of the crust, but never will you own the loaf: You will never be allowed to join the Old Boys' Club. You will never be part of the Trust Fund Kids who only share the unspoken lies with each other.

Our most fundamental error is the belief that things are absolutely as we perceive them.

In True Authority there is no oppression.

"Who is telling the truth"? Only YOU know.
