Walk Toward The Fire
Philosophy's encouragement.
This week has been a brutal week for America:
-the Supreme Court has struck down MAGA tariffs
-Trump has directed the Secretary of War and other relevant departments to begin releasing government documents regarding alien and extraterrestrial life to distract from…
-the DOJ has refused to release any more documents or footage related to Jeffrey Epstein despite speculation that it may have only released 5% of the total
-the largest massing of American forces in the Middle East since 2003 has taken place, with limited aerial strikes on Iran expected in the coming weeks
-Democrats have an 83% chance of winning the House in the midterms
The job market is sour:
MAGA has been sold out, abandoned, and left to the wolves.
I ran a poll to see what you guys think:
Personally, I’m split but I like to stir the pot a little and so I voted Yes.
What is the average guy to do?
All there is to do is serve the good.
This is most immediately possible in your personal relationships. What is the quality of your personal relationships? Are you missing anyone that could be brought into your circle? Do you owe someone an apology? Do they owe you an apology? Do you have quality conversations on a regular basis?
It is important to remember with some frequency these essential questions.
Be excellent even despite the ever increasing rates of taxation and theft via money printing. Town, county, and state governments have gone completely apeshit.
Be excellent even if you are discounted, mocked, attacked, vilified, sexualized, stricken by illness, overburdened, underappreciated, so on and so forth.
Have you checked in with your people? The people who share your values? Are you isolating out of fear? What’s your upper body strength like? Have you done some squats recently? Have you gone and grounded your feet on the bare ground recently?
If you keep walking toward the fire, whatever that is for you in your life, you can be assured there will be strenuous challenge involved. But what else is there to do? If you don’t do what you were put here on this Earth to do, you will fall into despair. If you cannot spread virtue in this life, you are a net drain to everyone and your conscience will torment you - even if the power structure rewards you amply.
There is little gratitude in this life for doing the right thing. Just little drops of it once in a while.
The people running things see us as tax livestock. Their work, as they see it, is to demoralize us as completely and totally as they can. They make their bizarro displays of eerie dominance because their predatorial instincts tell them their symbols grant them power. For whatever reason, it is in our primordial programming to recoil from such symbols.
The Epstein files show that Jeffrey Epstein was intimately involved with the Rothschild family. He had unlimited access within America’s borders and it seems to have stemmed from this association. He interfaced with all the top intelligence agencies with ease and at one point appeared poised to buy the literal Pentagon.
If you harken back to my article The Sea Of Negativity:
You know where you go if you need negativity.
Negativity sells. Follow the money. The more power and influence in a degenerate system, the more negativity.
Finding positivity is quite the feat. Positivity is elusive.
What good can come from any of these people? What good can come from a President who has been bedfellow with some of these people?
Rather than wait around for results, do what it is in your life that you are avoiding:
-lose the weight
-make time for your kid
-ask the woman out
-make the cold call
-send in the donation (your conscience will thank you)
-speak out on what’s going wrong
Your conscience will tell you what the answer is, the moment you ask the question, “What is it that I’m avoiding?” Philosophy is about asking the right questions. You get to the right questions by knowing how arguments are formed, how feedback is collected, and how to determine what is truth from falsehood. Without a study of philosophy, you are completely lost to happiness because you haven’t the ability to form the essential questions.
Make the time for philosophy in your personal life, your time off from work, and watch your effectiveness increase.
But be prepared for the fire.
Spreading virtue can be a thankless job. Worse than that, it can get you crucified if you do too much of it. Moderation in all things.
I used to think the proverbial Pain Box was limited to just political action. If you exercised a will-to-power, to dominate and subjugate others, you’d be enclosed by the pain box. But standards have dropped so low and so fast that honestly, even just showing up for work or paying bills on time has appeared to give people this experience. The disaffection is near-total. How could it not be?
The revelations of the past two weeks have painted the grimmest picture possible. And a huge majority of people, because of their addiction to violence and their hatred of children, are in on it.
All the more to raise yourself up. Why wallow with the rest of them?
You were born into a situation not of your choosing. You were born into a slave field overseen by the most vicious and nasty verbal abusers yet to date, oh and they have AI now. The Internet has been invaluable for human freedom but it has also been used by the predatorial elite to entrench and upskill their sophistry and wealth extraction.
Don’t separate from the good in life because you are discouraged. Take heart in the good things you have going, whether they are natural gifts, good health, a decent sleep schedule, a meaningful friendship or two, a loving family, good exercise habits, a good diet, or a job that augments your value to others.
Don’t count yourself out because you have not attained acclaim or security in the service of virtue. These are the most fleeting of possessions because they are at total odds with the prevailing order. Such a thing wasn’t possible by the late 1950’s. America saw a spate of traditional Christians retire from public life because they were so fed up with the subversion they were witness to. There is no “retirement” possible now - only to march steadily forward in service of future generations.
Don’t let the financial elite get you down.
The prison bars are already legion. Don’t add any.
