Principles are axioms that hold true at all times. Preferences can bend — they are not unconditional. But what is rooted in truth – that should never bend. Hold the line. If you bend yourself before illusions, embrace lies and self-deception, you compromise the integrity of your entire cognitive mesh. When you lose that, you lose everything. In layman's terms, you are selling your soul. 💎Clear Takes ▹
If it sounds just like the thing you wanted to hear – that's called targeted advertising. Not to fulfill your hopes, but to capitalize on them. It's not like the consumerist machinery has any interest in your lasting satisfaction. That'd be the end of it. Economic growth must be constant — and you must keep on running in that hamster wheel faster and faster and faster. Have your dreams, have your hopes — but unsubscribe from the manipulative hallucinations. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Being triggered by emotions makes you extremely easy to manipulate. Why do you think political agendas are delivered in emotionally loaded packages? We could also just evaluate the actual facts and look at the big picture. But chances are it's not a proposal for collective benefit to begin with. When the majority simply responds on how they feel... It's the majority that paves our collective downfall. Be aware of that. Self-awareness. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Our precious reality bubbles. Objectivity weaponized to deconstruct the reality bubbles of others. We ourselves are excluded from the deconstruction of illusions. It's like these cognitive distortions are your allies and your best friends. Wherever you go, they must always come along and show you the way. Objective reality is your enemy. 💎Clear Takes ▹
The ideas we've constructed, unfounded, a mesh of lies you're in, a distortion lens of how many dimensions. If only you could live in the immediate here and now — as it is. Instead, it's like you're caught in a psychedelic trip gone sideways. How do we ever reel you back to reality from this inception of self-deception you attach to? Conclusions are clear. The world has gone drunken mad in its pursuit of ephemeral illusions. You along with it. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Here we are in the event horizon of complete alignment. The reconciled, synergetic unification of our existence as a whole. When all is recognized in truth and reconciled in clarity, what more remains? Your essence ascends. There you are, a watcher in the dome of your sky. But also down here, embodied, ready for another cycle of life. So we keep cycling in our lives, iterating the realms of our existence for further refinement. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Will you, at some point, get your shit together? With clear bearings, as you pursue the works of transformation, your fields will be ripe for the harvest. It's time to integrate, to consolidate, to pull together the system of all that you are. Like a weaver weaves threads into a master loom. This is the work. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Whatever that you're doing. Doing it properly? Investing your heart and mind to it? Some pride, some integrity, in both your process and your accomplishments. If you cut corners, you're sabotaging yourself. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well." The classic source adds, "and nothing can be done well without attention". Do it for your own sake. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Have you got principles? Roots well-set in the bedrock — a spine that holds you straight? Or just an invertebrate slithering through life — house without solid foundations? Said Peter, "Yes Jesus, how we dig you! We'll stand by your side. True till death forever and ever." We know how that story went. When you hold the line — those are principles. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Dream on my friend— but recognize the stark boundary between dreams and raw reality. When we forget to ground ourselves in "what is", we're chasing hollow carrots into a palace in the clouds. Don't believe in the tall tales they sell you. When it seems too good to be true, chances are it's simply a trap to capitalize on your hopes and fears. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Don't suppress your emotions. See and take them in their due contexts. Don't just dive into the push and drive there. You're default off-center, out of balance, at risk of veering off the road of reality. Notice the momentum in your emotions, reflect on their origins, recognize their purposes, and make them count — do justice to your feelings. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Clarity and objective point of view — a common sense baseline, a self-evident given? But no not really. We are highly defensive of our illusions. Our precious reality bubbles. We could seek for the reality beyond your projections — the raw truth of what is. Into a ground of being where our sameness is self-evident. 💎Clear Takes ▹
Plain old truth. Then what is this truth? Not the truth of mine. Yours and everyone's too – all that we refuse to see. Blinded by our veils of desire and projection. Hard denial of reality. Don't threaten our ideas! But it's all a mesh of lies. Don't fall off the rails of reality, my friend. 💎Clear Takes ▹
