Trickery

Involution wants us to believe that it is not evil, that it does not involve slipping away, covertly yet purposefully, from the One. 

There is purpose there: it is one of letting go, of renouncing one's legitimate power in favour of an involutionary force. 

This involutionary force presents options which seem easy. Slipping does not require much energy, after all. 

But reversing this process is hard. And we will all return to the One, in time. 

So maybe, we had better try not to slip as much. Because the further we descend, the harder the trip back up. 

Involution makes things easy at first. It says: "you can pay later; enjoy the 'all you can eat', the 'happy hour', now." 

This is really trickery: duality trying to make us forget its dual nature, presenting the easy choice as the natural and convenient one. 

Duality forgetting to mention the return trip. Forgetting to mention that you will, in time, need to regain your power back, and that you will have no excuse for having surrendered it.

Evolution is just what it is: an ascent. It is done in the open (at least, to oneself). It is bare, it bares one, and it takes what it takes. 

You start it on your own. There is help, but only if you ask for it. Nobody forces you. Nobody congratulates or praises you. You prod and encourage yourself.

After a while, there is no stopping you. The link is there and you cannot, you won't, forsake it. You feel it is no longer a choice. In fact, you feel it was never a matter of choosing anything.

You were always going to return to the One. Even involutioning was a part of that journey.

It is simply that now, you are making the journey with your eyes open. It still takes some effort. Yet it does not feel like an effort. 

Rather, not doing it seems like a waste.

Don't let yourself be tricked. Get tricked less and less.
