The Mendaciousness of Veneration
All forms of veneration containing within their illicit presentation a mendacious core of dark error, a misperceptational framework within with the uniqueness and absolute necessity of the venerator is obscured by child-like wonder and the mystique of celebrity. This process is perhaps appropriate for the very young, who certainly do venerate their primary caregivers as being, in some form readily apparent to children but not to the adults charged with their protection, an air of superiority and loci of dependency that no adult should ever impart unto another. Veneration contains a proposition wholly unsuited for and soul possessed of maturity to any genuine degree. No one is able to be more for you than you can be for yourself. They are not “greater” or “better” or more “valuable” than you, no matter what accolades they have achieved or “success” they have enjoyed, the measures of which are almost always designed to supplant genuine accomplishment with the trappings of materialistic accumulation of wealth and power which have no genuine utility at all. And yet these mechanisms of allegiance to the dictates and advisements of those believed to be in some way more worthy than any other of peace and the soliloquy of solitude that the quiet heart elicits are held up over and over again, progenitors of admonishments to “try harder” and “dream bigger” when nothing of this world can ever hope to suffice in the place of your direct acceptance of your inalterable uniqueness that transcends all of time and materiality. To look without and to imagine and accept through the process of a coalescing of belief so powerful that the memory of its formation may even become wholly shrouded by its ethereal mists of obfuscating impartiality that any other person who lives now or who has ever enjoyed a material existence within this plane of awareness has somehow, quixotically and fully unjustifiably, achieved some great and mighty measure of valuableness that is unavailable to you is but to accept the ego’s bargain, one of supplication to those that “can” by those that believe themselves to be “unable”. What is gained in this exchange? But more importantly, what is lost? What is given up in favor of relegating yourself to the meagre and modest positioning of supplicant to those you believe able to be more important or worthy of adulation and respect than you have always been and will always be? What is it that they have done that has rendered you so horrifically mute, unable to express yourself as they so fearlessly have, so unwilling to step within and to explore all that you can offer to the world that they have already released? This question contains within its presentation its own solution and revelation, for indeed, by asking with a true and genuine intention, you will very rapidly realize that there is nothing at all that is preventing you from achieving all that you have ever dreamed you could express. The ego desires for you to remain little, inconstitute and unfulfilled, for what use would you genuinely have of the ego and its endless ministrations of mundanity if you were to step beyond all beliefs in limits and impossibilities? Can you as of yet see that it has always been but your deeply held and oftentimes thoroughly unrecognized belief that those that you venerate have unshackled themselves in a manner that is impossible for you which has driven you to adore them and to condemn yourself, as if you are incapable of that which, for them, seems to flow like the easiest river of creativity and languidly potent expressive prowess? What have you purchased in this bargain, and what have you gained? A mendacious and alluring proposition was presented through your desire to replicate the veneration of others within your own subject awareness, so subjunctive of your own universal perception that you perhaps did not wish to see how much the influences of other had become your own unconsciously accepted restrictions. No other can be to you what you are to yourself. No other can be to this world what you can be, for no other can understand the totality of your potentiality until you begin to be brave enough to express it in its fullest form, stripped of all beliefs in limitations, laid bare in all of your light and truth, giving of yourself what it is that only you can know and express in a manner that is wholly unique solely to you. What is it that they can do that you cannot? These propositions of perception are void and irrelevant to your progress towards your highest potential and power. You cannot understand any other soul fully, for they have lived one life and you have lived another. That they may appear fearless and bright is indeed admirable. But it is not restrictive of you in any way. Attempting to subjugate yourself on their pyre of flamboyancy and iteratively progressive creativity serves only to distract you from the bonfire of purest expressive joy that you can spark within your own heart just as soon as you are willing to relinquish all that you believed to be admirable in them that you cannot replicate and then surpass within yourself. You are your own inspiration and creative force of unstoppable fortitude, in your own right, wholly independent of all others and what it might be that they feel most called to perform, create or present. Mendacious alacrity is employed by your ego to attempt to convince you that they can be more than you are. This is an illusion designed solely to hide from you all that you are capable of achieving, often with much less struggle than you may have convinced yourself must be a requisite component of arriving at a place of complete fulfillment and creative awareness that, once fully kindled, cannot ever be extinguished. Look to them no longer, for they are but guideposts of what can be. What your road will entail, the journey you are to embark upon and the final destination - that is only for you to first see, and then to approach. Veneration is the ambit of those still believing that they cannot be even a minuscule portion of their own potentiality and totality. What you do receive for all that you give to this illusionary perceptual framework? Nothing. Do you wish to continue this exchange for even another instant? The fire is set. The spark is ready for your hand. Take it up and set yourself ablaze with a light that will guide your way Home… forever.
