Make truth and reality have a special place for you.
Make them be your compass.
Make genuine mistakes earn gentle corrections seventy times seven.
Do that while staying firm in this course.
Intentionally preserve lies and manipulations in their despicable status: aberrations.
While you do that, demons, mistaken ideas and temptations to promote them will insist until you prove yourself stronger than them; that’s when they desist; maybe that’s why they exist.
Call this what you want: deep-psychological or philosophical or spiritual dissuasion of evil.
It’s self-defense of your consciousness. Sanity preservation. Self-protection of your soul.
Imagine everyone having their own expression of this force, training it daily and getting stronger at it.
Like a cosmic ethical radar, this force can make you more lucid about what to detect and what to filter.
This force can open a distributed surface, huge enough for good and true and real things to happen.
With the self-accountable and self-correcting mechanism restored, not in a centralized but in a decentralized architecture, homeostasis at the species scale is enabled and its exponential amplification can happen.
That force can make civilization heal by itself, and humanity thrive, regardless of epoch, tech status and initial circumstances.
You are not a victim.
You are the user of this Universe.
Calibrated self-correction and your ethical compass decide the outcome.
This game, or the set that holds every game?
And the one our children and grandchildren still get a chance to win?
Wonder what we are going to make real.
