"Only the wise can see through obvious appearances.  The foolish fall for appearances... and become easy victims.  The powerful need for peace of mind, pride, righteousness and tribalism cultivates ignorance. The truth is painful and can completely change your view of the universe. Avoiding truth pain will always consume you worse than accepting the truth head-on. Being right is NEVER fun when it comes to teaching emotional, physical and spiritual self- defense... especially when learning the hard way. This may be just the beginning of your awakening... and you may be in for a long journey. As you experience the universe with your new paradigm, you will encounter many who are still in denial and not yet awake. They will be caught in the darkness of delusions and "magical" deceptions and distractions... and you will suffer the pain of trying to wake them up. The response may be apathy, love, hate or indifference. I cannot tell you how to approach these people... everyone has different sensitivities and styles of denial, awakening and appreciation. I can only suggest you take care of yourself, your family and most loving friends first." - Buck Fuve
