journey to ixtlan

      I came across a pdf book, titled The End Of All Evil, you can download it here: https://newearth.university/resources/the-end-of-all-evil-pdf-book-by-jeremy-locke/ Such an unreasonable title caused me to take a peek at the purported resolution to all our problems.  This guy, Jeremy Locke, just hammers away at you about your complete enslavement, and how you are systematically robbed of every desire to be sovereign. 

      In Carlos Castaneda’s book, Journey to Ixtlan, is a fairly good description of what it is like to become free.  It tells of a sorcerer who experienced such an awakening through some formidable ritual.  Afterward far from his home in Ixtlan, he starts walking back and meets people along the way.  These are not real people, he says of the small group he first encounters.  They are nice to him and are helpful, but he does not trust them and seeks to part from their company.  This happens several more times with others that he meets; the last is a young boy, which puts his mind at ease.  Surely, the boy would be fine.  Yet again he sees this falseness in the boy indicating he is not a real person.

      Freedom comes at an enormous cost.  It entails that journey to Ixtlan where one sees that home will never be reached again, that one is enveloped in a protective shield that totally separates one from the rest of society.  There’s this scene in the Matrix where Neo is traveling by car on some mission with the rest of Morpheus’ gang and he points out the window at a neighborhood eatery, and says something to the effect that he used to get food there.  Not a word from the gang at his faux pas.  No, no, that’s not real!  None of it is real.

      Everything you’ve ever learned is not true; It was created for the purpose of enslaving you.  But freedom is a long journey that one gets to in steps, hops, runs.  In increments, one acquires the ability to see, to truly hear and be present in one’s life.  It takes many journeys to Ixtlan to understand and accept oneself and one’s reality as the ground of all there is.

      Otherwise, a life of emotional entanglements, with either a broken heart or a dead one.  Most people choose the dead heart, with a

veneer of sentimentality rather than taking that journey to Ixtlan.
