Becoming an Adult

This is a message, an invitation, to all people who feels as if they’ve seemed to pass by that stage in life where we integrate what we’ve learned, face the world steadily and humbly, all the while keeping our inner child alive.

Our day and age lacks any form of initiation into this natural phase of life in which we pass into ‘Adulthood.’ It is characterized by responsibility, self respect, and humility. (amongst other things)

This creates a global culture of Man-boys and Woman-girls that never ‘grew into their boots’ and stay in a state of ignorance, decadence, and arrogance.

To approach this transition, we begin with humility. We see where we are at, we see who are for what we are, and we see what we can be if we just listen to what our ancestors, our community, and that deep feeling inside share with us.

This text, ‘Becoming an Adult,’ is a Plukrijp collaborative text approaching this transition with inspiration from beautiful minds, and beautiful hearts. We wish that you too, can see the beauty that hides within. It is there, though it may be veiled. In taking each veil off one by one, we get closer to the essence, and of becoming an adult.

We’ll see you there?

ARE YOU LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE?

Written by Bernhard Gunther

Are you showing one side of yourself publicly trying to play it “safe” and shying away from expressing your authentic self and speaking Truth in this day and age?

You’re not alone.

Fear is the real virus and in-authenticity is a betrayal to your soul. This inner division can also literally manifest in dis-ease in the long run as it will affect your physical and psychological health as well. It’s an inner split and fragmentation. No amount of vitamins, exercise, and a healthy diet will keep you healthy and sane as long as you live this “double life.”

But even more so, staying silent is being complicit in the biggest crime in human history at this point.

By playing it “safe” you will gain nothing and lose more in the long run, not just FOR yourself and YOURSELF in it but for your family, friends [even if they completely disagree with you], and humanity at large. It’s a betrayal on a soul level and only re-enforces the Matrix frequency of totalitarian take-over. In other words, your inauthenticity and silence advance their agenda.

I put “safe” in quotation marks because ultimately there is no safety in life, only your conditioned and wounded ego-personality trying to avoid the inevitable, be it in this lifetime or next. You cannot escape the process of individuation and the more you resist it with excuses and rationalization, being concerned about what others think of you, the more you will suffer, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

So, better to engage in the process fully committed and whole-heartedly. As David Bowie once said, “don’t play for the gallery”. In other words, do not concern yourself with how others see you, just listen to your inner voice, your essence, your conscience.

But it is hidden behind layers of thoughts of fear, doubt, uncertainty, programming, shame, insecurity, etc. Most people mistake their conditioned ego-personality for their true self or they mistake being authentic with shadow projections of their neurotic ego, i.e. “cult of personality”.

I know it’s not easy. Deep trauma and childhood wounds may surface as well in the process of uncovering the true Self, all kinds of past traumas even going back lifetimes, where we were not only shunned, attacked, gaslit, but also stoned, killed, and burnt at the stake for speaking Truth and being authentic.

It’s in your cell and soul memory. I know it’s been in mine and there is still residue after all the work I’ve already done. It’s been terrifying to “go there”, like re-experiencing death, but it needs to be faced, healed, and overcome so we do not repeat the same patterns or even worse, hurt others because of our own unacknowledged and unresolved trauma or go along with an anti-divine, anti-human agenda as millions do right now because of this Trauma installment program of FEAR.

Disillusionment is part of the awakening and individuation process and it’s not comfortable but the only way out is in and through while acting with courage despite any fear.

Once you have crossed the threshold to show up authentically, undivided within, and are fully committed 100% to the Truth of your Being, engaged in the Great Work, only then will you find and experience what you have been really looking for lifetimes and were desperately looking to find externally, like an illusory fata morgana, trying to quench your insatiable thirst.

It’s also a matter of tuning into your conscience and let conscience be your guide which also aligns you with Divine Will. Be an example for others as we inspire each other to show up, speak up and engage in the work within and without.

Authenticity and not living a double life is even more important now for therapists, coaches, healers, or anyone in the position to help others during this Time of Transition. You came here for this very reason! Remember Yourself!

I know professional therapists and coaches who have expressed their fear of being more authentic and sharing their views because they are afraid of losing clients and getting attacked or canceled by the Woke and/or K0vit cult. They also mentioned that they are living a “double life” and it’s wearing them down.

Christopher Wallis NEAR ENEMY #3: Listen to your heart

One of the most fascinating critiques of popular Western notions of self that Indian philosophy can offer is this: “mind” and “heart” are two different names for one and the same thing. They merely emphasize different aspects of that single entity. That is to say, the Indian tradition holds that the locus of emotion and the locus of thought are one and the same, and therefore subconscious thoughts frequently manifest as emotions, and subconscious emotions as thoughts. Both thoughts and feelings are vibrations of citta, or the “heart-mind-stuff.” They are actually two ends of a single spectrum. (If this were not true, we could never talk about our feelings or feel strongly about our ideas!) The difference between thoughts and feelings is simply that thoughts are vibrations (vṛttis) with a greater linguistic or rational component, while feelings are vibrations with a greater affective charge. The difference is not absolute but one of degree. (…)

“Our political and judicial systems support racist minority rule managed by the oligarchic elite through ownership of representatives. Moreover, shaping the primary information flow as a propaganda tool built on decades of lies has made it impossible for a large population to understand the threats we face. Instead, they are told to ignore everything but their greed and that no alternatives exist reduces our chance of non-violent change.

The capitalist oligarchic elite has the wealth and power in a radical materialist society to rewrite history in schools just as they learned that they could rewrite science and public health requirements in a pandemic—all of this to enhance their control over a captive population..”
