But
there will be many who will resist the Truth
“But
there will be many who will resist the truth of the new era. They may
try at first by playing upon the sense of self-doubt that lies within
each of us. Self-doubt exists only because we have allowed others to
define our reality for so long that we no longer know what is real
anymore. When we look inside and catch the first sight of what is real
and it does not concur with what those around us have said and are
saying at the moment, we discard it. We doubt ourselves because we have
allowed others to tell us what truth is. But as we reach deeper into the
New Age, we will reach deeper inside ourselves for the truth. And as we
learn the truth, we will no longer need or want others to interpret it
for us. This will cause friction with those who defend the institutions
they feel comfortable with, the institutions they cling to like a
security blanket in a world they really aren’t comfortable with at all.
Those who cannot, or do not dare, to look inside themselves for the
truth will be the ones who will resist the rest of us the most. They
will be the ones who challenge the rest of us the most. They will be the
ones who try to make the rest of us think that we are wrong because they
want desperately to believe that they are right, and they know that once
their faith is shaken, they have nothing left to cling to. But be wary
of anyone who demands that you have blind faith in what they are saying.
If they will not allow scrutiny, it is possibly because their beliefs
cannot stand up to scrutiny. And when those who hide within the
institutions because they do not dare to look inside themselves feel
that they are losing their grip on the rest of us, they will fight.”
