There is no secret knowledge to bring you to light. There is no one single path to bring you to the truth. It's enough to honestly desire it and ask for it humbly and without pretensions and you will receive it.

Know Rene Girard? A philosopher and anthropologist. Used to be pretty popular until he converted to Christianity, then his academic career stopped in its trajectory (surprise, surprise).

Human society is founded on ritualistic murder. People want what other people want. You see another person wanting to possess something and you too now want it just because the other person has the same desire. Desire is literally contagious. Girard developed a mimetic theory around this. Eventually a critical amount of aggression, mimetic rivalry builds between people who want to possess the same things. There is no resolution, things become ever more violent UNTIL a third party victim is blamed for the situation and is sacrifically murdered and that appeases society again. Later they worship this sacrificial victim as a god that brought peace. This sounds bizarre, but the man studied this from a historical perspective and concluded that human society is built on ritualistic murder of an innocent victim that regulates violence. Now, I don't need you to believe all of this word by word, just hold it in your head as a concept.

So then, the guy studies Christianity and Christianity follows familiar patterns of other society founding myths, but there's one KEY difference. In Christianity, God is on the side of the victim! In Christianity, God says the victim is innocent for all to see. In Christianity, God is not on the side of the system of domination.

Why is this important? The true revolution, the thing that will clear out all darkness is precisely in refusing to participate in the false life that gets constantly reinforced by the world. Their entire system of control, all of their power, collapses instantly when people replace competition between eachother for charity and love. It's not fiat currency that they can make out of thin air that is their ultimate weapon. Their ultimate weapon is your desire. The liberation from all standards of moral conduct is only a liberation in the sense that it gives every desire you can think of authority over your mind and body and the more materially tying desires you have, the more you're reliant on their system. So this liberation is really just a liberation to choose how you want to be enslaved. Then when you're hooked on material desires (and I want to make clear here that I don't mean just material in the sense of money or material objects, but even of something as possessing status, of wanting to be someone in the world etc.), they have you in the pocket. We know people only start by wanting to be loved, but they have made it so that to be loved, you need people to admire you, have money, be popular on social media, you need to make questionable compromises at work to get money, you need to do x y and z to be interesting to women or if you're a woman you have to be x y and z to be interesting to men, you have to build your social status, and you have to have more of this than other people.

Their system of control is reliant on you fighting other people for social position and temporal power, so that by placing yourself above others you enjoy perks of a momentarily socially dominant position. That is the dream they're selling you. The high you get from that. OK, you're not enticed by the high? You're not gonna play that game? The losers here know the consequences of rejecting the world system. It's a pretty miserable life, because everyone else who is playing by the rules of the world system will reject you! Less job opportunites, lower salary, harder to start and support a family, harder to live independently, less romantic opportunity, less friendship opportunity and less social recognition.

If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world,but I have chosen you out of the world. Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well;

The carrying of your own cross is precisely in the REJECTION of this world system. But it is SO HARD because it goes against the natural human inclinations for feeling loved, important to someone, and like one matters. Consider what happened to Jesus who completely rejected their system. We beat him up, spit in his face, mocked him and crucified him for not following the world system. And yet even as we did this, He still had endless love for us. He did not scheme how he could replace the people who held the material power with other people he liked better. His Kingdom was LITERALLY not of this world. Think about what that really means. That is the revolution that must take place. The real revolution is in complete rejection of the world system as we know it. If humanity did that, if humanity picked up its cross, the mechanisms of material power that enslave us would collapse instantly and you would have tomorrow a world where we can live in peace. Light vs darkness. Good vs evil. You don't need to see a caricature of a bearded man on clouds throwing bolts or a horned red guy with pitchforks. Understand what you are seeing around you!
