Affirmations and Control

We’re often told that we need to “fake it until we make it” or that the key to success lies in relentless positive thinking. But what if the real power comes from simply being honest with ourselves? What if it’s not about pretending or forcing a mindset, but rather about aligning with who we truly are and what we genuinely want? Affirmations aren’t magic words. They’re tools to help us rewire, refocus, and reconnect to our authentic desires. It’s about stepping away from the noise, shedding the limitations, and embracing the freedom to live without fear of judgment or unknowable outcomes.

There Is No Try

There comes a quiet moment when the soul remembers — it was never meant to live in chains. Not of the world, but of thought, fear, and forgetting. Freedom isn’t earned through effort, but revealed through awakening. You were never broken.

Falling for the Trick

We’re not here to fix the world. Not really. The idea that we must engage endlessly with the problems handed down to us — repeating the same outrage, the same struggles, the same attempts at revolution — feels less like progress and more like participation in an elaborate, self-sustaining illusion. The trick isn’t just deception; it’s the mechanism that keeps us fighting within the game, rather than seeing beyond it.

Discernment

Discernment is the ability to see clearly, understand deeply, and decide wisely. It’s more than just making choices — it’s the art of perceiving truth beneath the noise, of navigating life with clarity and purpose. In a world filled with distractions and half-truths, discernment acts as a compass, pointing us toward what is real, meaningful, and aligned with our values. But how do we cultivate such an elusive yet essential skill?

There Is No Future Utopia

You have but a limited time here in this one short life. Is it a trap or an opportunity? What do you really want from it? What are your truest aspirations? Are you willing to see through the fog and learn to accept things as they really are, or is it better to remain mixed up and subsumed in the fakery and delusion?
