Narrative/story/myth as mind set in image and concept is a psychic framing through which to invoke or augment experience.
An underlying complex of deceits mutate to maintain continuity of framed experience as invested and protected narrative identity.
Identity and identification are resonant recognitions of qualities that have tangible expression, but under narrative distortions and filters operate as if an independent autonomy along the rules that set it - which is tyrannous control rather than free association.
The expressions of narrative identity trappings in the world are so fast and complex as to have already coopted our attempts to 'understand' them even as we embark on a quest or crusade for freedom. But a true understanding is a recognition and appreciation at heart and not the fitting of acquired intel to a command and control structure.
'Myth' is often used in scientism circles to denote false or made up, as if official consensual modelling language set in protected narratives are the high judge of reality expertise, rather than any relational or empirical evidence or witness.
While weaponisation and marketisation of life is sought for agendas begotten of self-illusion, truth is discarded, ignored and blindsided. That self-illusion delivers us unto evil and consequent pain of loss and thereby sets a limit for tolerance.
The original purpose given to self-image as substitution for Self is the wish to be what we are not and have our own experience as our own creation - but this is innately out of accord and out of synchrony with unselfconscious creation, as IF a mind apart.
The development of self, world and abilities that we are heavily invested in - perhaps as our ONLY life and being, is derived in part from the lie and the father of it and hence an alloy of love and fear that masks in substitutions for a discarded or blindsided love that has become fearful from the framing of invested illusion.
Structures of fear set a blind god in place of a relational recognition, that demand attack or sacrifice to rule and protect AGAINST communication.
Releasing blind structural 'identity' is then seen to be defenceless and heretical or counter to the core demands of survival. Yet here is the Crossover from slavery that seemed freedom, to a freedom that at first seems slavery, because our true Will is not under control so much as an expression of a qualitative acceptance.
Yielding control to the discernment of the heart is the return to an awareness of sovereignty of being, for what you can freely give is yours to keep. The mind in the world set for getting thinks to give only to GET or get rid of, and is then possessed by its attempt to get rid of what it judges against, and believes it can!
The getting mode or mind is where structure blinds or gaps from reality that we are and where 'others' and 'world' trigger old conditioned patterns of response. regaining innocent perception is the release of personal and socially invested identity. Self-honesty is one with trusting our self and life. These grow together as the desire to live from a felt and trusted foundation of resonant recognition rather than from a narrative sense of self in story that expresses underlying and formative trauma of lost trust and connection within our own being - and therefore in our relations.
So the distrust belongs to the mind of secrets and lies and its attempts to crown its story from a place of struggle in fear, pain and loss, as victory over life feared, and therefore hated.
