Breaking Free from the Fake Cycles: Rediscovering the Truth of Real Change
Sep 22, 2024
Have you ever noticed how certain things seem to change right before an election? Gas prices drop, policies are suddenly passed, and everything feels like it’s getting better—just in time for a vote. It’s no coincidence. The cycle is designed to be manipulated when it serves those in power.
Take the current drop in gas prices, for example. For months, prices were rising, straining households and businesses. But now, just as elections loom, gas prices drop below $3.00 per gallon. If these changes can happen now, why couldn’t they have happened months ago? Why only now, when it serves the political agenda? This is a key part of the cycle—it’s goosed, manipulated, or temporarily relieved just enough to keep people engaged in the system, to keep them believing that things will get better if they just stay the course.
But here’s the truth: if the system can create these changes now, it could do so at any time. And yet, it doesn’t. Why? Because the cycle isn’t designed to serve us. It’s designed to serve itself. And as long as we stay within it, we stay stuck.
The Cycle of False Hope
We’ve seen it over and over again. The same problems repeat with slightly different packaging, and we’re told to just keep going, to stay invested in the process, and things will change. But the same people, the same institutions, and the same messages are just recycled. It’s no different than a reality show like MasterChef, where contestants are pushed to their limits for entertainment value. We watch, knowing that only one person wins while everyone else falls apart on camera, and we call it entertainment.
The political cycles aren’t much different. We cheer for one side, root against the other, and watch as the same structures continue to hold power. We see temporary relief, temporary "fixes," but nothing really changes.
The Shadow of True Cycles
What’s often hidden behind these manipulated cycles is the fact that cycles themselves are real and important. Higher consciousness teaches us that life moves in cycles—birth, growth, decay, renewal—and these cycles are opportunities for transformation, reflection, and alignment with our deeper purpose.
But the cycles we’ve been taught to follow—the political and societal cycles—are a shadow of the true cycles of growth and evolution. Instead of offering us moments of reflection and realignment, these false cycles keep us trapped in a loop of temporary relief and external control. The real opportunity that cycles offer—personal growth, spiritual awakening, and alignment with higher consciousness—has been hidden behind this facade of progress.
Breaking the Cycle
The real challenge, and the real work, is to step outside the false cycles. To see them for what they are—a system that keeps us running in place, believing we’re making progress when, in fact, we’re just being manipulated into staying within it.
If gas prices can drop just before an election, why can’t they stay low all the time? If policies can suddenly move through Congress before voters head to the polls, why can’t they move that fast the rest of the time? We’ve been trained to accept temporary fixes as progress, but real transformation comes when we stop asking for small changes within the system and start questioning the system itself.
When we break free from these false cycles, we can begin to align with the real cycles that offer true growth—cycles that push us to evolve, to reflect, and to act in harmony with our highest purpose.
Think About It
The cycle continues because it serves those who created it, not those who live within it. It’s time to step back, to question, and to think deeply about what keeps us engaged in these false hopes and temporary fixes. Real cycles—those that align us with our higher consciousness—exist to help us grow and transform, not just to keep us comfortable.
What could happen if we stopped waiting for the system to give us the change we deserve and started creating it ourselves?
Think about it.
