The biggest change for me in the past five years hasn’t been a switch in career, learning about corruption, or even fighting an information war. It has been the transition from spiritual ignorance (but some intuitive understanding) into a conscious incompetence and willingness to learn. It means overcoming my very damaged past, navigating the dogmatic religious spirits, and avoiding the many lures and traps. My sense of divinity and faith accretes slowly and carefully because I am wary of confidently presented simple answers. The Covid scam has been a gift in terms of exposing false prophets and failed doctrines. It has taken painstaking forensic analysis to locate the source of my existential pain and begin to address the maladaptive coping mechanisms. I am hurting, but there is hope. The recovery process from Satanic infestation of everything is a lifelong journey. Secular guides have limited range. Your church might be small and distributed. Spiritual war changes everything.
I love that you mention hope. I’ve come to learn that the deepest thinkers and most empathetic souls are the ones that needed the longer on-ramp to this awakening. it is a broken creation and we have had this time to sit/wrestle with our more complex reactions regarding the good vs. evil dichotmy. i feel that the biggest part of our growth has been learning to recognize the spiritual battle in literally everything. Simplifying it to black and white - I find the relief is exiting the greyscale comforts and shelter. taking a stand means separation, separation brings clarity and clarity brings hope. Even in our painful journey, we have hope.
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;”
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 KJV
