Greatness is Knowledge. That is all that it means.

A bit about Fame.

Throughout my entire life, including the timing of my birth, I have always in one way or another felt inner Greatness.

This greatness is not unique to me. It is however, unique to Soul. Soul is something in everyone and this greatness sleeps until a person decides to cultivate it.

In society, we mistake this Greatness for “fame.”

Like many children, my social consciousness came from TV…from seeing every cartoon and every sitcom until my teenage years. My education also came from the non-stop Top 40 radio music that followed me indoors and out. And I became spiritually blind due to the noise and color of the outside world.

The media, newspapers, ads, and popular trends including magazines and centerfolds of icons in teen and fashion magazines convinced me that Famous people mattered…and the autosuggestion is that, “I don’t (matter).” That is the mantra that goes on for a very long time…until we reach our adult years and learn to ask the difficult question—which should never have been an issue to begin with—which is, what is the purpose of life?

When I got older, I moved to New York and went to film school. I had a very rough life, living hand to mouth for a long period of time.

But while I was there, I lived and partied among famous people and studied with people who would become celebrities society is obsessed with today. I was there at the roots of the beginning of their climb to fame. But even earlier than this, in my early teens, I had met rock musicians who would later become mainstream hits and icons of today’s time.

I had always been into the avant-garde. Or the avant-garde was into me. In my life, I was always at the pulse of big things that would shape popular and niche culture from time to come.

So in a sense, I have always been surrounded by this concept of Fame and by famous beings—or those who would become famous—but I never really knew it or thought much of it.

As I got older, funny things would start happening to me. The idols that I was influenced to worship as a child, I would eventually meet. I would eventually meet in one form or another, not as a fan, but in an even way.

It took me a very long time in life to figure out why the timing of my birth allowed me to be at the cutting edge of something ending and the razor’s edge of new things taking birth.

And although I myself have never been famous, I was around great people. And though I never remained friends with them, I would find out eventually that anything I love or take great interest it, would end up landing me a meeting or encounter with the people or things that I loved.

Then I had a dream.

In the dream I met a guy that I will call “Moses.” He was not moses, but he looked like he could be one. Wherever I went in the dream, he was always there. And even in a crowded room, in the largest parties, and biggest events…although we were rooms apart, he always felt close to me and knew where I was.

I was told in the dream that I was always near Greatness. And now I understood what Fame meant—on a spiritual level. The true meaning of it—with regards to Soul and personal Truth.

Greatness is Knowledge. That is all that it means. When you are Great, you have Total Knowledge—and Total Knowledge can reach all things—great and small—and transcend time.

That was why no matter what room the Master was in, he knew I was near him and vice versa.

In that dream, I met many followers at cocktail parties. They all liked to talk about the Master. Although I never talked about him, I knew him so I did not need to say anything.

In my teens, I used to have crushes on teen idols. Later in life, those teen idols would be walking in front of me.

The reason for this is because the idea of Greatness in my life—always being near me is God’s way of expressing Love for one’s own greatness. God has tried everything possible to show me that “Greatness is always near.” That is why everything I would see on TV, hear on the radio or sold to me through pop culture—would end up becoming a reality…that I would touch or feel a resemblance to—not because I am a star worshiper, but because the idea of Fame is false—and Holy Spirit wanted to show me this personally.

That was why it made everything real for me so that I would never feel disconnected from famous people or my inner sense of greatness. It put me in the avant-garde (at the front of everything)…to make sure that Reality is always Modern—and not a falsehood society calls “Fame” to make people feel less of themselves.

This has been my lesson in Fame, to understand that all popular things in life is transient. That what you see that makes you feel less of yourself, unworthy, unpopular or inadequate will only lead to worship.

The act of worship is a form of black magic. There is nothing good in it. Worship is separation of Self through hypnosis. It disconnects the person from their true inner being—so that they may displace their Greatness by placing it onto an object, an idol or an ideal. That is why so many people have difficulty with religions…unless that religion is free from worship.

Positive images are important, the goal, being to bring out the best in someone, through the ideal of oneself set by example; through resemblance and relatedness of a mocked up image—of self potential. But once that image starts to separate a person from self-reliance on his own inner image–then the image becomes possession. Possession of this kind leads to the practice of self-hypnosis through vanity—and further desire to pull others into worship; which ultimately is a state of bondage.

True religion teaches self love, and strengthens the feeling of inner Greatness so that one can be free.

What does this mean, “Self Love?” It means that you can hear your Self. It means that Soul has all the answers…it has needs, it has wants but it does not have passions. Soul knows what Love is, and when you listen to it—it directs you to love and it directs you to bring love.

The Tumbleweed is a great metaphor for many things…but the true meaning of it is the “drying up of passions.” This is what it means where lifetime after lifetime, Soul reincarnates and works off its passions, its past mistakes, its karma—so that the karma is not living anymore…it is dried up, like tumbleweeds. The Mind, when dried up has nowhere to go…then Soul is free to do as it please, it dictates all life—and the human being is Free to “be,” while in the body.

Soul that does everything in search of Love—will be given all the Heaven’s blessings—to find what it needs.

The search for love is the movement of Soul towards Light—or Divine Love. When focused only in that, it finds courage to overcome any obstacle.

Earlier this year, I had to relocate to another state. I didn’t want to go. But the dreams came and told me that I would go there to meet my new lover…who would be my soulmate, and that it would be a Fashion Designer.

I know that some people do not believe in “soulmates;” but that is just a matter of semantics. I understand what they are saying, but I do not believe in the mainstream concept of it because, Soul, as a free entity—is free and doesn’t need a dual counterpart nor does it “mate.” Only in the lower worlds, or the worlds bound by space, time, duality, matter and energy do we manifest by combining things; a process called “integration” in a psychological sense—because the mind and heart become split. Soul, as is, is complete and knows everything.

Our job is to figure out how to manifest awareness of it. That is why some spiritual people regard the concept of soulmates as being false. But you see, that is just intellectual. People may “say” that to make themselves sound spiritual—but the truth is Soul is always searching for love…and subconsciously, everyone longs for God—through the meeting of a soulmate.

While we are living in space, energy and time, there are soulmates and one cannot deny the fact that the Law of Attraction (whether of likeness or differences) work strongest when it comes to love.

Some of us have close bonds for a very long time—and that’s what makes us “linked” as Souls. That is what a Soulmate is—someone you know very well—on a soul level—without having to learn how to love them again, or to reeducated yourself about who they are, and who you are to them. And the reason we know them very well is because we have spent past lives as friends, family, lovers, teachers or enemies (whom ironically, we will often meet as mates in the future; to reconcile karma).

In this sense, a Soul Mate is more like Soul Love, and Soul Friends (in a divine sense). It is just a question of wording and understanding.

Months before I decided to relocate, I had dreams about the Fashion Designer who would become my soulmate. So I took that image and decided that I’d go in search of Love.

On a road trip to my new home, a friend and I stopped in a small desert town in Arizona—very small town—out in the middle of nowhere. It was there where I read the story about “Divine Love” and how it expresses itself, through a paper placemat of a diner owned by a small family that had kept it running in top shape since the time of the owners’ death.

The placement told the legend of this town we were in. It described how a man in LA who was working for the water department one day stumbled upon this town out in the middle of nowhere. Land was cheap back then. He got hold of some money and bought the town—which was a barren dessert and named it. Because he knew about water and industrial piping—he ran water to a place that never had any. From there he opened a store, a gas station, a restaurant and people started to come.

It was here that he met and fell in love with a Norwegian woman. It was a soulmate kind of love. And my feeling is that because he brought love to the land (water), the land gave back more water by giving him love in the form of his soulmate.

Everyone in a sense, who lives life in search of love—will find someone that will partner with them to take off the edges of life. This is how Divine Love expresses itself to Soul.

They essentially lived happily ever after…onto old age. When I read this on the paper placemat, I knew it was about the journey of Spirit—of every Soul’s life on this earth…that it is Love that gives Soul courage—to bring water and love where there has never been before. But the courage comes from love—not the other way around.

Boldness does not produce love…it is love that brings courage.

As I focused on love…I also learned how to listen. And as I listened, I hear more clearly what Soul is looking for. In other words, Soul has an idea of what it wanted and began to be clearer as to how it wanted to manifest its dreams—of how to bring “water” into the world. The flow of Holy Spirit uses Soul through the channel—that is the body (of consciousness) as vehicle for God.

I put my best foot forward, looking for jobs with any fashion designer or fashion related job—but it didn’t work out. I was basing it off something very straightforward—and Spirit doesn’t necessarily work that way (unless you’re really in tune with it; it can be literal).

I then turned my focus to Love and asked myself what make me happiest in the world. Well, I am happiest when I write.

So I created a 7 day “detox” where I forgot about society—ignored time and space and just wrote 18-24 hours straight for 7 days—barely eating, sleeping or having much time to do anything else.

I knew that this detox was going to release my mind from harden and strict linear thinking—of how to get what it wanted out of life.

And since then, whereever I felt love—I tried to follow it.

“Following love,” does not mean that I’d see someone hot and feel compelled to ask them out on a date. It doesn’t mean that you go chasing after everything that excites you. Love is not a noun; a person, place or thing. It is an experience.

Divine Love is non-emotional, it is detached and separate from society’s concept of possessive and desirous love (based on acquiring and ownership). The heighten love that people connect to in terms of images of Saints in states of Ecstasy is not Divine Love, it is emotional ecstasy, great happiness flooded by passions.

Divine Love like water—breaks through our passions—but until the passions dry up, the water does not flow.

That is why as humans, we often cry—like saints—when we are touched by divine love; because there is too much emotion (passions) that muddle the way for love to flow.

But as we mature spiritually, Divine Love is non-emotional…instead, it is deep and great Knowledge. That is because we have opened ourselves to receive this Greatness of love in a non-attached way; we do not try to consume it, own it or hold it. We allow it to flow through us, because the gift of Divine Love is to give, not to keep.

True love is the every opportunity that Soul feels it can be present and freer inside the human body. It’s really about freedom.

Since then, whereever I felt I had to give love—I try to follow it, because the Spirit wants to “bring water” there.

That is the work of being a channel.

I had given up on goals directed by my wants, but instead, listen to Soul and the creative ways in which it directs all life.

The art of listening to inner guidance is most difficult. It means filtering the call of Soul from the wants and frivolities of Mind.

What has changed for me over recent days is that I started to practice the Law of Silence. I wasn’t very good at it. In fact, I’m not very strict about it. The reason this happened is not so much because I wanted to stop talking. The reason the Law of Silence happened is because I wanted to listen to Love.

I realized that if I really listened to Love—the Mind cannot carry on thoughts that bug me.

I have a Sound Current (The Song of Soul) moving through my head for over the past year. It took a while getting used to and to be honest, I just realized that I had been taking it for granted.

The Sound of God was in my head all the time, while I’m awake and when I sleep—yet I don’t really listen to it. I feel if it wants to ring all the time—then fine.

The Sound Current is like a thousand orchestras put through an Angelic sheath that blankets the night—the way you feel when you are alone with stars.

Yesterday, I got sick of my thoughts. Meditation people always say to simply “observe” thoughts and let them pass. They do not know what they are talking about. Thoughts will not go away. They are here to stay. Observing them is one thing: changing them is another.

To change Thoughts, you have to be able to listen to Soul.

When you listen, you give of yourself to Self Love. That’s the key.

I started to listen to this Song of Soul and I realized that in it is “everything that God has ever said.”

If this Sound is everything God has ever said and it’s running freely through my head: then I would be a fool to not listen to it. So I did. And when I did, I realized Self Love.

What does this mean, “Self Love?” It means that you can hear your Self. It means that Soul has all the answers…it has needs, it has wants but it does not have passions. Soul knows what Love is, and when you listen to it—it directs you to love and it directs you to bring love.

When I finally tuned inwardly to this sound, I realized that Thoughts could not come in. If they did, they would be transformed, they lose power—and passion is nothing but power.

Where there is power there is no love. Jung said that I think.

But is true that God has no power. God is love and that is why Love is greater than power.

When one has no power, one has God. And by this, I do not mean human or mind power. I mean, when one is free of passions, one is free of power. That leaves room for more…mainly, it leaves room for listening and expansion—it leaves room for a greater power—called Liberation—where you are free to move in a non-dictated way: because Soul knows where and how to find love—and to bring love into impossible places, just like that guy that found the desert town.

So, today I am leaving it open. I do not care that much about the Fashion Designer.

What I see is that Soul comes in many forms and if the need is great, it is going to fulfill it—hopefully to perfection. We don’t know what will happen in life, we don’t know how the tides will turn, what society wants, how consciousness will shift. We would like to think that we know—but we do not.

The one thing that knows is the Song of Soul, for it in it is everything that God has ever said. And that is where I am putting my attention.

Easy acceptance, like Charity is not something you acquire, it is a level of realization.

We are living in a very High Time. But actually, it is a very Low Time.

Most people today, feel that this time is exciting, modern and advanced—as they become obsessed with technology and have high hopes for it.

We are living in a Luxury time. Materialistically as well as culturally. We are feasting off the earth, gifts from other planets, the cosmos and each other’s creativity. We are wasteful.

This abundance and our gluttony carry a high price which we are paying for (accruing karmic debt) without realizing. We are paying for it by taking, robbing and wasting, unconcerned about the expenditure it cost to other life forms, human beings and supplies given to us by phenomena of life.

As technology moves faster, we are swept away with it, as a flood, without consideration or reflection of the ethics behind the technologies—created by whom and for what purpose.

The best that we can do to counter this, is to serve and love Life.

True Life is our inner knowingness of God—even if no one can truly teach this to us—it means to give from that inner Being relentlessly, to create a Balance on this earth…a balance that will offset the heavy consciousness that is putting the world population into a state of trance.

This idea is similar to Quantum Physics, which I do not know much about, but I do know that a person’s true intention can offset the collective unconscious. If that intention is based on Love, it can call into power—everything to move mountains. I believe this to be true…and this is because God—which is deeply connected to Soul—can hear and respond to its needs.

This is the nature of Hope. It is not blind Hope, not hopefulness or hope from the mind—but comes from Soul knowing that God Loves and can hear and perceive its wants. If that want comes from the purest place, out of a deep need for freedom—God will do what it takes to permit it to happen—and can change the chemistry and biology of all things to move toward that higher action.

The truth is that people who live life, continually take. They will discover that the laws of life inevitably and invariably exhaust them. Wherever there is a selfish intention—there is taking involved—and this robs liberty for all life—including Self. It is from love of Self that one gives, and this love corresponds to God’s love for Soul. So in taking, people live in existential anxiety where they depend on material and space Gods to repair their loss of relationship to Soul.

Those who believe in an Angry God—a God that “taketh” are mistaken because everything in life corresponds to our actions. If you give, life gives…and if you give in consideration of receiving, you are still taking. And if you give, realizing that you will benefit, you are taking. Charity is not something that you give, it is a learned realization; because giving is not material, it is based on intention.

The high time we are living is luxurious on the surface. The means to acquire anything at anytime is a luxury.

In the darkest period of human history, people indulged in depravity while paying a price for it through deformities and physical hardships they would suffer. Today, this immediate price is postponed.

People speak of times where Barbarians and violent tribes ruled the earth. They think those times have passed. In the past, no one had any personal safety. People were deeply scarred, limbless, tormented psychologically, spiritually and mentally and lived in extreme violence, unjustness and depravity. All of this was reflective of man’s consciousness at that time.

Today the luxury times we live in afford us to pay for sex and “love.” To indulge in thousands of violent activities—in video games (which are psychic and astral fantasies), mainstream entertainment, spellbound by social networking and material things—including food—organic or not. All of it is handed and given to us with gloss, glamor, glimmer and sheen but the cost and barbaric nature is hidden.

The cost of psychic violence is often paid for through health—manifesting as psychiatric, mental or physical. And the more that people can afford to pay for the luxury of treatment to avoid pain—the more barbaric they become—because they do not have to earn the lessons brought forth by the torment of disease, deformities or affliction.

So if you see people crowding spas, whole foods or organic markets and drinking the purest and finest bottled water on earth—do not be fooled. The high times of our luxurious indulgence are still barbaric and that is why all of this signifies what is really a Prehistoric Comeback; mistakes that we have to learn and relearn.

Economy in thought and action is the defense against the mental traps of our materialistic and technological world. What is thought to be enemies of life—become like the bitter medicine that heals—while everyone else goes for the sweet honey.  For example, the bitter enemies of life today are called “GMO foods” and toxic chemicals in our homes. Good well-meaning ideas become part of traps—of our personal greed, fears and indulgence.

The truth is that God takes care of Soul—and substance, GMO or not, can kill a person who is vain because it is vanity that kills the person. The person who judge food is more likely to die—even if eating completely organic—than a person who is grateful for any level of economy and expression that life brings—to comfort or nourish them.

This High Time that we are living in, is the Lowest Tide due to wastefulness and easy way of life and easy acceptance. Easy acceptance, like Charity is not something you acquire, it is a level of realization.

The worship we have today for inventors of new technology is costing us. It is costing everyone as we worship icons that perpetuate enslavement and doctoring of our basic needs.

Addiction to materialism robs a person from self-knowledge by depending on devices and collective ideas about perceived value. Whatever good there is to be said about technology is no different than what a black magician or con artists says is good about what he has to offer. He will sell you worship of his image and his goods—until you are blinded and dependent on him for your survival. And here begins the taking process…that our environment is weaned to follow.

Living life based on proper intention and economy appears very basic but is hard to achieve for many people.

If each person learns basic economy on all levels of their life—they would win basic freedoms day to day. They would be free from control by environment—without any use of force, inner battle, or need for protest. It is this freedom that allows a person to give…and as he gives, he gains freedom in mobility—to move beyond the traps of this life…including abnormal fears—that should not plague a person.

Once you have a Persian cucumber, it is hard to “go back.” It becomes very difficult to eat a standard cucumber. The latter is just not subtle enough, maybe even dogmatic in being most popular. Too obvious and extroverted.

I learned something about religious tolerance today. It all started with a cucumber a week ago.

I went to the supermarket to buy cucumbers—my favorites are either Persian or Kirby as backup. The only thing available was the big fat traditional ones: often too juicy and meaty for my taste.

I like the cucumbers very crispy and not watery. So, having no other choice, I bought about two regular cucumbers to tie me over.

Whenever I prepared a salad, I would start slicing the cucumber, and subconsciously felt a secret sort of “disdain” as I resentfully thought that they weren’t good enough.

This went on for about five days until I finally made it to a market that had the cucumbers I liked. I was very grateful. I went hog wild and bought more than I usually eat.

When I got home, I began to sort out the old veggies in my fridge. I came across the large cucumber that was sliced almost halfway. It was a monstrosity compared to the Persian ones. I put it on the counter and told myself I would throw it out although it was almost brand new.

But then, I realized that I don’t normally waste food—so why throw out a perfectly good cucumber? A little argument went inside my head. It went something like this, “Why eat something if it doesn’t make you happy?” with the counter, “Why throw away perfectly good food?”

After a short debate, I let the cucumber rest on the counter until dinnertime.

Once I started to prepare my meal, I took a look at the cucumber and felt sorry for it. There was really nothing wrong with it. In fact, most people who like cucumbers would die for the one I had—it was perfectly dark green and fresh and firm on the inside. I decided to not throw it out.

While I was eating it, I realized something about Religion.

I realized that when a seeker is on a spiritual path, he may switch or explore several different belief systems if he’s opened minded. For instance, if he is Christian, he might find Buddhism, and after Buddhism, he might discover Sufism, and after that, he might lean towards Sikhism…and over a period of time, his mind expands and if he’s not satisfied, he might continue to get more into esoteric stuff.

Religion is very much like a Standard Cucumber. It is big, it is fat, it is loaded with juice and has a lot to offer. But in its obviousness often lies its limitations.

For every belief system that we find—whether that be Atheism to Philosophy, Metaphysics and Orthodox religions: they are all like a Standard Cucumber. They pack a wallop.

But what happens as one switches theories, adopt refiner points of views—the cucumber doesn’t need to be as fat and juicy. One may settle for a Kirby, which is much more compact, crispy and versatile (you can pickle it). It is sturdy and stays fresh longer. It is not as “emotional” (wet and soppy like a standard cucumber).

As our consciousness expands, our point of view gets lighter, more refined and thinner (sharper) in a sense, and the finest in cucumbers that symbolize this is the Persian cucumber—which is delicate, sweet, crispy and miniature enough to snack on.

Once you have a Persian cucumber, it is hard to “go back.” It becomes very difficult to eat a standard cucumber. The latter is just not subtle enough, maybe even dogmatic in being most popular. Too obvious and extroverted.

Once this bias settles in, one develops “taste” and in doing so, one begins to reject former or different belief systems.

That was what I went through when I thought about throwing out a perfectly good cucumber. There was nothing wrong with it. It was perfect as it was—but my taste and consciousness had opened and I couldn’t go back.

Every person’s belief system is Relative. The most extreme person may consider his belief system to be the “Persian Cucumber” while seeing all others values as being the standard cucumber. Everyone believes that what they hold as true is the most refined belief—even if it is the lowest level of consciousness. But that is were Tolerance comes in.

For me, I began to enjoy the cucumber that I decided to save because I realized that it was good. I understood that in my life, I had explored many spiritual paths over many lifetimes in order to develop taste (being Knowledge). This taste or knowledge doesn’t change once I move onward…what I had to learn to accept was, at some point in Soul’s history, I had belonged to many different religious groups and spiritual paths—and as I gain more knowledge, my consciousness becomes more opened and refined.

When we find ourselves judging others’ belief systems, it’s might be a helpful reminder that what we consider to be a standard cucumber is actually the person’s highest state of consciousness—that they are capable of embracing at that time—even if it is destructive to others. Everyone has their version of a Persian cucumber and sooner or later, they will find something even better.

The word Victim needs a paradigm shift in social consciousness: it has to change from “lack of choice” to “lack of insight or sight.”

Only with Greater Consciousness can a person change the subconscious, so that is it no longer in control.

Contrary to popular belief, we are not slaves or victims because we “choose” to be.

We simply cannot force or form a choice when we are UNCONSCIOUS or unable to see. That’s why the sub/unconscious is called what it is. It just means lack of vision. A person who is a victim is simply a person who has been blinded. You cannot blame them for not being able to choose or to get out of a situation…just the same way you cannot blame a blind person for hurting themselves if they haven’t developed tools for self-protection.

I do not believe in the standard view of “victimization” that people have. Many people do not understand that victims DO NOT have choices. That’s what makes them victims.

We are all victims. There are many things we cannot see. So the word Victim needs a paradigm shift in social consciousness: it has to change from “lack of choice” to “lack of insight or sight.”

When we are able to see, then we can form choice.

Society has taught us too many things about victim complexes that only serve the Egotistical attitude that we have “choices.” As if to say that choices are that simple: and that you can just “do it.” While many people are ignorant that many victim situations are a necessary process that a person needs to work out karma and unfinished business in life—in order to learn, heal and grow…and to become much more rounded people; usually wiser and more compassionate…and in some case, to pay their “dues;” for events in our lives are just mirrors of our own doing.

Often we can accept that fact (of paying “dues”) when we reap benefits from our actions, but we reject that responsibility when things work against us; we refuse to accept that we create all negative situations in our lives as well. But it’s the same mirror. Victims often have been aggressors in past lives, who have created karmic situations to learn compassion—in order free themselves in this lifetime…and in this sense, to forgive—or at most, understand—the aggressor; within themselves.

Many people who reject being victims and think they are in control of their lives are unable to realize that choices are not up to the victim to make—it is based on entirely on how much or how well they can see.

The more consciousness a victim is given—the more realization they experience, the more they are able to form choices—but you cannot choose to solve a problem if you cannot see what’s happening.

Even if someone points out to you that someone is abusing you or that you are an abuser, you cannot this see clearly; it just doesn’t register. And because you cannot see, no matter what you do to “control” the situation, your subconscious choices and impulses are greater; they dictate your entire behavior. The Subconscious is called what is it because it is “Sub”—beneath or the basement of your awareness.

To overcome the powers of the Subconscious: you have to have a Realization, by being able to see into the Inner worlds, what is really happening—what the Subconscious is REALLY HIDING from you—and this can only been seen in Dreams (in dreaming).

Most problems can be solved in dreams simply by being able to “See” what the dream is saying or watching the screen of events happening. Usually, this is worked out in dreams before it manifests as reality in the outer life. If you don’t want a victim situation to manifest, then you’d have to look at the dreams seriously and be willing to watch the nightmares or events that unfold and be grateful that the dream is showing you the Subconscious and what it is doing.

Once you see the background work, then you are able to identify what is happening and stop it before it manifests. This is the true way a person overcomes any victim situation.

The heart of overcoming victimization or enslavement of all kinds has to do with a path of Enlightenment and the desire to Awake.

It all has to do with attaining Greater Consciousness and Higher Realization and to work towards understanding the mechanisms of what’s controlling us.

It has less to do with whether or not one identifies oneself as a victim. As long as one has an unconscious that one cannot control—one is a victim.

That is why I say that we are ALL victims—because most of us have not mastered control of the Unconscious. Most of us are habitual slaves mirroring our complexes onto others and fearing that what others are going through would happen to us. The truth is, that is a fear premise that only causes biases and judgments. It does not help us overcome blindness but makes us even more indifferent and cold.

That is why society’s understanding of Victimization needs to shift from the idea of “Choice” (which is Ego based) to “Insight”—which is Understanding and based on the Heart Awareness. Understanding does not mean acceptance of a situation, it means Realizing something to the point of completion…and Realization in Completion is a form of enlightenment.
