The truth will make you free... lies only bring you slavery

Everyone can give advice but not everyone gives sound advice. I have come to the realization that reliance on others is a very dangerous position; it requires trust and belief that those you rely on will actually fulfill their promises.

My mission is to inform and raise up an army for the truth under Natural Law... there are more people determined to stop me than support me, I understood that at the beginning. But when those that supported me in the past back away because I revealed comfortable lies in their lives... lies they believed because others told them to believe them or else, that was too much for them.

The truth is truly a two-edged sword... cutting both ways and it is continuously at war with the lie. I have been cut by the truth along with everyone else; but when confronted with the truth, I have learned to accept it as the truth and adjust accordingly, something too many people are NOT willing to do, especially if it requires they make substantial changes in the way they think or look at life.

Most people don't support the truth, only when it serves their interests and brings them some benefit in either money or influence. It takes someone unique in this age of corruption to allow the truth to truly transform them into someone capable of changing the world... theirs and everyone else's around them.

I am still learning about the paradigm I have chosen to walk in; making many mistakes and trusting people I really shouldn't to further the cause I am truly passionate about... it has hurt me deeply, as well as others that relied on me. It is a difficult path to be on and one the world doesn't support, at least the illusory world most people find themselves in. Just because a path is difficult and full of peril doesn't mean it shouldn't be traveled... it is the difficult ones that, more often than not, take you to a better place.

The hardest truths to embrace are the ones we must face about ourselves, what we know that others don't about ourselves, things that must change within us before we can move forward in truth. For most of humanity, the task of changing ourselves is the most difficult journey because we must face the monster within and defeat it... many refuse to do so, choosing the easy path of self-delusion and denial; for them, the illusion they live in is an escape and the comfortable lies are fortresses that protect them from the truth.
