The Truth in Plain Sight

 

Knock on every door. Turn over every stone.

Upon retiring in Vrindavan I began to research many different things. I had plenty of time. It was great! I researched astrology and the occult sciences. I dove into the study of Egypt and finally I discovered the secret of the time-frame for the fourAges.

I’d heard, the truth hides itself in plain sight, but what did that mean? And, did we really want to know the truth? Once again I realized I was alone because I wanted the truth, regardless of where it came from. And I was getting it. I was discovering something amazing! The fog was clearing from my eyes as I studied day after day and researched until my head was bobbing at the computer, my butt was sore from sitting so many hours and my eyes were beginning to blur. I looked around me and saw things that contradicted what I was taught by my spiritual master thinking, Oh My God !!! What have I found?

Every day I researched, I found more things within my religion that simply didn’t add up. It all started because when I looked around me and could see we were not going deeper into darkness as was proclaimed in the scriptures I studied, but as a culture, we were becoming more and more enlightened every day. We were moving out of the age of darkness known as Kali and into Dwapara, the energy age, evidenced by wifi and internet as well as many other technologically advanced discoveries entering into our daily lives like smart phones and even smart cars.

And on another front, my guru propagated the theory that men were more intelligent because their brain was larger. What a crock of shit! Of course, we could not blame him. The whole of India propagated this theory. However, from studying Egypt, I realized that clearly men were more controlled by left-brain functions and women were more controlled by right-brain functions. The proof was everywhere. Right before our eyes. Even in the pre-dynastic times of Egypt, a man was considered to be more advanced spiritually if his right brain was more like that of a woman.

And there I was. Right in the middle of this crazy cult trying to extract real truth while surrounded by a bunch of would-be sadhus who were influenced by an angry pandit named Chanakya who said you should beat your wife. How would I deal with this?

The goal of a real sadhu is to attain liberation and not to discover other truths, so no fault should be attributed to them. But many lesser would-be saints were very proud of their knowledge of scriptures, accepting translations without question and considering themselves to be much more intelligent than any woman.

But for everyone’s joy and strengthening of faith in the absolute, the truth needed to be exposed. Thing is, who was I to do it? Who would believe me? Why should I care? But I did care and I could not keep sitting in conversations where people spoke about being in the age of darkness when I was completely aware that we had moved into the energy age.

I wanted to share my research with others and help them to realize how we had been brainwashed. But I knew that I would be seen as a traitor or dissident. Cognitive Dissonance, the cult characteristic where devotees were not allowed critical thinking, was in full bloom. Critical thinking was condemned and I was condemned before I even started.

But the truth was obvious. It was lying right before our eyes. Someone had to do something! and I could see the illusion was so thick that no one cared to investigate the obvious discrepancies in our scriptures, lying right before their eyes. So once again, I jumped in.
