Breaking the Psychological Chains: A Reliable Self-Rebuilding Course for TIs

[Squareinthecircle]

The First of a 5-Part Series on Psychological Course Correction for TIs to Build A Sustainable Path to Serenity, Happiness and Fulfillment for Targeted Individuals

Part I – The Spark: God, Fate, and the Spark of Renewal

For TIs, hope is often the first thing stolen. The system is designed to convince you that the future is closed, that you are already defeated. This lies atop the very same influence the world attempts to have on us outside the program. And so the journey must begin here — with the simple fact that the future is not finished, and neither are you.

Before anyone can begin to rebuild, they need hope. Not false hope, not a wish that tomorrow will erase today, but the kind of hope that says: “I still have a reason to take the next step.” Without that spark, nothing else can catch fire.

The Deistic Route: God as the Source of Hope

For many, hope begins with God. No matter how intricate the program, no matter how advanced the technology, none of it reaches beyond His hand.

The short-sighted may see a recognition of God as weakness — that believers lack the strength to challenge the world on the terms reality sets. A recognition of a Creator does come with a source of power, but to reduce it to “strength reinforcement” alone is to miss the truth entirely. If God exists, and we are persuaded that He does, then He is everything — not just a place to go when feeling weak.

Truthfully, history shows otherwise: some of the greatest people who ever lived were believers. Faith does indeed provide a reservoir of strength, but also a purpose for existing, a moral framework to work by, and a long-term goal. It grounds life in meaning beyond the reach of systems or men.

If you are alive, God has guided and assisted your journey.

If you still hear truth within yourself, it is because He gave you the value system to preserve it.

If you still seek meaning, it is because He placed that spark in you.

God’s gift is that your worth does not depend on the opinion of systems or the verdict of men. We see what men bring to the table — all that is worst of the devil’s dealings. Sin rules this plane of existence, the world as we know it. So we appeal to a higher court, a higher authority. God’s light reaches where no machine can. Even a single whispered prayer, even a wordless turning toward Him, is enough to begin.

Mantra: “God provides the spark; you fan it.”

The Agnostic Route: Fate, Chance, and the Open Future

For others, hope begins not with God, but with the recognition that life is unpredictable — that fate, chance, or the absurd keep the story open.

It is easy to dismiss this as luck, blind optimism, or self-deception. Truthfully, history shows otherwise: many of the strongest minds were forged by accepting life’s chaos and still choosing to move forward. Belief in chance is not weakness; it is an acknowledgment of reality’s wildness, and an insistence that possibility remains.

If chance has dealt us the statistically unlikely hand of life itself — a planet that supports us against astronomical odds, a consciousness that persists through suffering — then it follows that anything can happen moving forward. The road is not written in stone. We have some authorship in our story.

If you are alive, fate has not closed its hand on you.
If you can still think, create, or question, it is because chance allowed it.
If you still sense that tomorrow might differ from today, it is because unpredictability is the rule of life, not the exception.
Call it kismet, call it chance, call it chaos — the point is the same: the story is not locked. The program’s greatest lie is that the outcome is predetermined. Every day you wake proves otherwise.

Mantra: “If chance still exists, then so does hope.”

The Shared Spark

Whether you look upward to God or outward to chance, the function is the same: you light the beginning of the road with hope. Without it, no philosophy, no discipline, no practice can last. With it, even the smallest step has meaning.

Hope says: “The program does not get the last word.”
Hope says: “I am not finished yet.”
Hope says: “If I have a spark, I can build a fire.”

Part 2: Breaking the Psychological Chains: A Sustainable Path to Serenity, Happiness and Fulfillment for Targeted Individuals

You Are Not Defined by Your Worst Day

The Second of a 5-Part Series on Psychological Course Correction for TIs

The program — the world — wants us to live in shame. It rewinds our mistakes, magnifies our failures, and whispers that the past disqualifies us from any meaningful future. If you believe that voice, you stop before you start. You surrender to the idea that you are already ruined.

But this is a lie.

We are targeted. We were targeted. And that truth alone means we cannot carry all the blame for our past actions. Many of our so-called “failures” were engineered, scripted to humiliate or break us. Even if we stumbled in those moments, they were not wholly our own. Shame, then, is not a fair weight. It is a weapon — and we have no legitimate right to it.

Responsibility for our actions is one thing; blame and shame are another. The first can help us grow, the second only keeps us chained.

The Misjudgment of Extremes

I once came by the idea that people should not be judged at their best or their worst. There are those who sit in prison for a momentary lapse of reason — a single act that does not accurately weigh the whole of that person’s value. The Olympic athlete can rise to the moment, but again we would be mistaken if we saw that achievement as the full measure of who they are.

We admire the shining accomplishment as though it tells the entire story, or condemn the lowest fall as though nothing else matters. But no person is best measured at the extremes. The truth of who we are lies in the long road between.

Your worst day does not define you.

Your best day does not excuse you.

The measure is the journey — the daily proof of who you are becoming.

For TIs, this recognition is critical. Our “worst days” may have been the product of manipulation: breakdowns, bursts of anger, actions scripted by those who wanted us to collapse. If others judge us by those moments, they misunderstand the context. If we judge ourselves by them, we repeat the program’s work for it.

“Those that matter don’t judge, and those that judge don’t matter.”

The School of Hard Knocks

It is strange how human beings treat “bizarre” behavior. By definition, bizarre means rare, unusual, out of place. Yet we see it everywhere. If it is common, then what is strange about it? The contradiction exposes a deeper problem: we label behavior as odd when what we really mean is that it makes us uncomfortable, or reminds us of truths we don’t want to face.

But isn’t this simply the natural outcome of how humans actually learn? Many of us don’t learn best by reading instructions or being told what is right. We learn through fire, through error, through consequence. Experience is our greatest teacher, even when the lessons look messy.

History is full of minds sharpened by experience, not by neat classrooms. There is a long-standing view that travel is the best teacher — an experience-based course in life itself. Some of the finest thinkers, leaders, and creators came through the school of hard knocks — lives marked by mistakes, detours, even disgrace. The jagged road, not the straight one, produced their insight.

And yet, when it happens around us, we act surprised. We expect wisdom without scars, resilience without trials. We despise the very curriculum that teaches us best. Whether this mode of thinking springs from within or is forced on us from birth, it is faulty. We can only change our own thoughts on the matter, but that change is worth the effort.

For TIs, this matters profoundly. The targeting itself has been a forced education. Bizarre behavior? Outbursts? Withdrawals? They are not disqualifications — they are part of the curriculum. They are the marks of an education few could endure. When fully accepted, the experience of being targeted becomes its own classroom on human nature, God, and ourselves. And if we take full advantage of this, we can leverage a perceived disadvantage into an advantageous one.

The Past as Proof

If you are reading these words, then you survived. You endured a pressure few can understand, a curriculum most would fail. You kept something alive inside yourself — a spark, a conscience, a will — enough to bring you here. That is proof of strength, not disqualification.

An honest look shows that you weren’t stopped — you set a new course. We bounce off the world’s problems like pinballs, with very little, if any, energy lost in the process — sometimes even gaining momentum from the impacts, on our bumpy path toward success.

The program, the world, would have you believe your history is a verdict. It is not. Your history is a testimony. Every misstep you regret, every moment of collapse, every time you thought you couldn’t go on — and yet did — all of it adds up to one thing: evidence.

You survived.

You endured manipulation that would have broken many.

You are still here, still reaching for truth.

Your past is not a chain. It is a foundation. It does not bind you to who you were; it proves that you are capable of becoming more.
And here is another recognition worth naming: many people say they believe others deserve forgiveness, but not themselves. They feel they have done things so terrible that they cannot be forgiven.

Strangely enough, this is its own kind of conceit. It is the idea that one’s case is so special, so uniquely shameful, that it stands out among humanity. But the truth is the opposite: no one’s pain or failure is so rare. Whatever you carry, it is human. And what is human can be understood, endured, and forgiven.

For TIs, this is necessary liberation: to stop seeing the past as a shadow and start seeing it as proof. Proof that you were tested. Proof that you endured. Proof that you are qualified to step forward. A reframing of the past is necessary — one that strips away the false expectations laid upon you and the distorted self-views that arose from them.

Closing Aphorisms
“The past is not a verdict; it is a curriculum.”
“The worst days are not the end of the story; they are the beginning of evidence.”
“Survival itself is proof.”

Part 3: Breaking the Psychological Chains: A Sustainable Path to Serenity, Happiness and Fulfillment for Targeted Individuals- What We Can Do For The Present


Condensed Lifestyle Philosophy for TIs



Part III – Daily Peace, Joy and Freedom (One Day at a Time, Reframed)

Each morning a new experiment begins.
The world may be scripted, but our response remains unwritten.
Targeting tries to freeze a person in place—repeat yesterday, or change for the worse—but it continues to steer us wrong and shake our belief in ourselves.
To live one day at a time as a Targeted Individual is to stage a daily jailbreak of the mind.

Happiness isn’t the denial of hardship. In fact though they have very little to do with each other if we care to recognize. We set the rules, and history simply does not record a time in which life wasn’t tough, and that powers didn’t look to harm it’s citizenry.
Daily we make the discovery that life still answers back when we reach toward it.
Every act of self-direction, every honest effort, becomes proof that joy can coexist with struggle.
We are not bound to the views told to us, held by others or even that we had yesterday. We possess ultimate freedom here.

2 · Proof, Not Permission

Freedom isn’t granted; it’s a choice.
They will give us the feeling we have none, and in that moment it might be true even—but it’s only a moment.
This too shall change, and the one constant in their strategies is change itself.

Every time you do something constructive despite interference, you establish new jurisdiction over yourself.
That won’t always feel good, but victories don’t always present like we expect.
Each small act of self-direction is another nail in the scaffolding of freedom—and each such act plants a seed of quiet happiness.

Think of freedom less as a concept and more as an evidence trail you build hour by hour.
A daily examination of the positive rather than the negative can be helpful.

“Where did I handle the program well today?”
is a healthier question than
“Will they ever stop?”

3 · Action > Thought

“It’s easier to act your way into good thinking than think your way into good acting.”

Targeting weaponizes rumination.
Action short-circuits that loop.
A small movement—washing a dish, writing a single line—forces the mind to obey the will instead of the broadcast.
Thought follows action like a loyal shadow; when you move, it reforms behind you.

4 · Identity Tests

The targeting program tests our recognition of self; it changes how we see ourselves.
God thinks highly enough of us—how can we justify being tougher judges?
We have self-worth, we have value to others and to ourselves.
This is a fact that cannot be changed through thought manipulation or emotional turmoil.
The targeting will make you question yourself, doubt yourself.

“Am I a man or a mouse?”

The answer isn’t verbal; it’s behavioral.
You prove it by showing up—again—for a task you chose.
No grand gestures required.
The quiet repetition of dignity eventually exhausts your captors.
Following through with the things we commit to helps us see ourselves anew.

5 · The Practice of Neutral Observation

The program will guide your emotions and thoughts if you let it.
Take note.
The first act of freedom each morning is to notice without joining.
See what they are trying to make you feel, but do not sign the contract.

Try to remain as emotion-free as possible—not cold, but steady.
Watch where the emotions try to lead you.
Recognize: it is them manipulating the signal, not your authentic response.
When you learn to observe rather than react, they lose the steering wheel.

The same applies to thoughts.
You will find ideas seeded, redirected, or looped.
Don’t wrestle with them; simply log them.
A notebook becomes a firewall—a place where thought ends and choice begins.

Then, set your own goals—small, grounded, deliberate.
Write them down each morning and make a daily plan.
Include:

Physical work: stretch, walk, breathe, move.
TI work: shielding, journaling, advocacy, communication.
Self-maintenance: prayer or meditation, reading, reflection.

You don’t need hours for each.
Fifteen minutes apiece, after five or ten minutes of quiet meditation, is enough to begin re-anchoring the will.
Doable, repeatable, real.
We can all do that much.

This structure trains the mind to obey your rhythm again.
Each entry in the notebook becomes evidence:
“They guided my emotions, but I guided my day.”

For a deeper walk-through of grounding and sanity-preserving routines, see
“Relaxation Techniques for Targeted Minds”.
It expands these brief exercises into a full set of daily stabilizers—breathing, pacing, and perspective work designed for TIs.

6 · Spiritual Parallel

Whether you call it God or Fate, each day is still a choice of allegiance.
Are we aligning with divine intention or with the noise?
Daily freedom means turning toward the higher signal, again and again, until it becomes reflex.
That alignment—spiritual gravity finding its center—is the deepest form of happiness: not euphoria, but peace that survives contact with chaos.

For a deeper reflection on this choice, please read
“TIs: Who Will Be Your Friend — the Perps or God?”.
It explores how spiritual alignment itself becomes an act of defiance and healing.

7 · Closing Reflection

Daily balance, happiness, and freedom aren’t activated by switches.
The process becomes a wonderful way of life.
What we require is a daily calibration—for TIs, a daily recalibration—proven through the physics of behavior.
The proof is in the pudding.

They may jam the signal, twist emotion, reroute circumstance—but the proof of life continues every time you act into meaning.
We move back to center.
Back to default.
Back to who we want to be—better people, despite and perhaps even because of the targeting.
Talk about your all-time backfires.

They say expectations are premeditated resentments.
The adage recognizes that often we hinge our happiness on factors we cannot control.
It’s a gamble, only it’s usually a longshot.
We would be wiser to instead take the safer route and concentrate on what we have power over.
I’ve touched on this idea in several articles, and it remains essential if we’re to achieve sustainable happiness and inner peace.

As my mother used to say,

“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you take it.”
She was right.
Happiness, then, is an inside job.
It’s an illusion—a self-deception—to see it otherwise.
A proper understanding shows that we control our happiness by doing what would make us happy:
by behaving rightly, by recognizing our own worth, by maintaining a strong relationship with our Creator.

Expectations need to be adjusted and managed.
A full day of touring Paris might be exhilarating, but a quiet day at home with a good book and your cat can be beautiful as well.
Our expectations of a steady life perhaps need to be shelved, and affection needs to be developed for the unexpected—for the bizarre.
Embrace life as it’s served up to you.

Our power lies in our response, and that response can be full of grace and joy, even in the face of this program.

Core Message:
Balance, joy, happiness, and freedom are not what survive untouched; they’re what we rebuild every twenty-four hours.

Part 4: Breaking the Psychological Chains: A Sustainable Path to Serenity, Happiness and Fulfillment for Targeted Individuals- Becoming Someone You Can Respect


The Rebuild: Part IV – Becoming Someone You Respect
(Respect + Sustainable Happiness)

Opening Note – Why Respect Comes First
Before happiness can take root, there must be respect.
Not the public kind — not applause — but the kind that speaks when the room is empty.

Happiness drifts; respect anchors. Without that anchor, every good day floats away.

We need to become comfortable in our own skins. We need to be comfortable with who we are, but we’re held responsible by our conscience. When we hit below our aim, we lose respect for ourselves — little by little, incrementally, so that we don’t notice it.

Think of someone you know. You see them in a certain light because experience has defined them to you. Over time they can redefine themselves to you by displaying consistent behaviors. We can do that with ourselves — and we need to.

1 · Behavior → Evidence → Identity

You learn who you are by watching what you do.
Each act is a line in a private ledger. The record doesn’t lie, even when memory does.
When your actions line up with your stated values, the mind quiets. The guilt quells.
Constant affirmation is no longer needed when there’s data.

You can’t think your way into integrity; you behave your way there.
Keep promises. Finish small things. Speak truthfully, even in solitude.
The nervous system relaxes when it recognizes its own evidence.

The prescribed course is to become people we can respect via repetition of acts we can respect. We convince ourselves over time that we are this new person — because we are that new person after a time of consistent new behavior. This transformation is absolutely something we can do; people do it every day, and it’s necessary if we are to succeed.

To succeed we need to lay out new behavioral patterns and follow them. Simply put: do the right thing. The self-respect is worth it. As I’m known to say, “the juice is worth the squeeze.” This is where our efforts should go. And doing the right thing comes with a good feeling BTW. Nature helps us along here.

We can actually use the circumstances of the program to become better people. We can respond in a fashion that leads us to an improved state that we likely wouldn’t have arrived at without the targeting. The same is true of those who seek help through 12-step programs. As I’m also known to say, “Sometimes the best thing that can happen to us is the worst thing that can happen to us.” Our reaction is up to us — an ending unwritten.

2 · Respect Protocols

Targeting breeds self-doubt. Protocols rebuild self-trust in controlled, verifiable steps. They provide irrefutable evidence for when emotions are turned against us. They’re our definition of ourselves, crafted by us, expressed in action form.

It’s a process, not an event, and it’s never done to perfection. We will always be in a state of imperfection, and we have to be comfortable with that fact. The effort to do the right thing always provides a clear conscience — it is our reward. The richest of men would give their bottom dollar for serenity, for inner peace. We can achieve it at the cost of belief and some work. We need to.

Maybe we can fool others, but fooling ourselves can be more difficult — and more dangerous. Honest self-assessment is needed before change can occur. In order to know what needs work regarding ourselves, we need to observe and find out. It’s time for an honest inventory.

Humility is necessary at this step. Humbleness — humility — is the palatable way to serve the jagged pill that is the leveling of ego. If we don’t do it ourselves, others will — probably in public — at which point it’s referred to as humiliation, a much rougher delivery of the adjustment. Better to take care of it ourselves.

A regular schedule can be impossible for TIs. I haven’t had one in years, for example. I never know when I’ll be allowed to sleep, allowed to wake, what state I’ll be in, etc. I learned to stop making commitments for the most part, but there are times when it can’t be avoided. In those moments we do what we can, recognize appointments may need to be rescheduled, and take the lifestyle in a knowing fashion — not allowing ourselves to be surprised or put off by what we know has a very good chance of happening.

So we must take what we can get. Celebrate that gift. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Look for the good in the day. Practice the suggestions made in this series every day. It’s that or a guaranteed miserable life that only gets worse.

3 · Happiness Protocols

It’s a material world we live in. True happiness is not found in money or possessions or anything of the sort — as mentioned earlier, it’s an inside job.

Happiness comes on its own when we become people we can respect. A sense of belonging also hitches a ride, along with a feeling of contentment. What I’m speaking of here is sustainable happiness — happiness that can be recreated daily.

God is the source of this happiness, and He bestows it when we obey Him. We have inner moral compasses — pay attention to them.

Perhaps you already do. Since none of us are saints though we can all benefit from honest assessment and determine if we need to work on our character more. Chances are we will find areas that require attention. It matters.

We need to completely drop the idea of us being victims. That direction has no payoff and only makes us miserable. The perps will perpetrate, but we don’t need to volunteer our happiness and serenity as well. Let’s instead see ourselves as the remarkably strong that can drive through torture and designed hardships and come out the better for it. We are badasses.

Taking our lives as they are and finding happiness is what we have been challenged with.

4 · Authenticity as Armor

When behavior and belief align, external manipulation loses grip. You find yourself standing up straighter, looking others in the eye, having more confidence — and best of all, it’s honest.

Turns out there is something to conventional wisdom in many cases, and modern methods are often unhealthy. I find a stripped-down, Spartan lifestyle to fit me best. It means fewer complications, fewer pressure points for the perps, and less in the way between God and me.

It’s rarely simple living in today’s world, though, so the suggestion is to simplify as much as possible.

God created us, and He loves us dearly. We have divinity inside us in the form of God in our hearts. We can set out to rewrite our lives with God as co-pilot. Again, it takes time to completely realize — and due to the targeting at the very least it will remain a process.

Closing Reflection

You’ll notice the change in yourself. You’ll be calmer, more authoritative. Life will appear to arrive more orderly. It’s a process many have made in their lives, and Targeted Individuals can too. We must. Though it’s a slow transformation, you will experience realities you never have before.

You’ll have confidence where you used to doubt. You’ll find yourself to be more functional as a human being — more able to love and be loved, more able to handle the slings and arrows life launches at us. The evidence will say it for you, to you.

Happiness is not given; it’s grown. It’s recognized.
Respect is not declared; it’s demonstrated.

That’s the quiet revolution: becoming someone you no longer have to explain to yourself. This is winning the Game of Life.



Look for Part 5 soon!

The Rebuild: Part V – Baptism by Fire

God’s Ironic Use Of Hardship To Improve Us

by Kevin Boykin
10 / 11 / 2025

Opening Note – The Monster and the Maker

We spend our lives fearing the monsters that cross our paths, never realizing they were placed there for our becoming.
God, in His quiet authorship, doesn’t destroy the dragon — He assigns it.
He gives each of us the exact shape of trouble needed to awaken our buried strength.

By His standards, His hand is gentle.
By ours, it feels like the end of the world.
But heaven’s “gentle” is still thunder to the earth.

Every strike of hardship writes a line in the story we swore we didn’t need.
But God works from a larger information pool.
The pain is not an interruption; it is cold-hammered soul-formation.
And though we may tremble beneath His edits, the Author is never careless with His pen.

1 · The Gentle Hand That Terrifies

God’s guidance rarely comes through comfort.
The lessons that rewire the soul don’t arrive as whispers; they arrive as storms.
When we mistake them for cruelty, we miss the truth: that pain is often His grammar, and we are the sentence being rewritten.

To Him, it’s calibration.
To us, it’s upheaval.
Yet every trial redefines us — not as punishment, but as preparation.

We cry out against the fire, not realizing it is cleansing the alloy of our spirit.
The smith’s forge feels like torture to the iron, yet without it there is no sword.
God tempers us the same way — through heat, pressure, and precisely measured time.
It is the gentlest violence imaginable — the destruction of weakness so strength can finally live.

2 · Monsters as Curriculum

The obstacles in our path are not random; they’re tailored.
Each one corresponds perfectly to the flaw we’re meant to burn away.
He gives us monsters because He knows we’re meant to be slayers — not victims.

The targeting, the betrayals, the isolation — they are not tests of endurance alone; they are chisels.
Through them, character is carved, and the formless becomes form.
We are sculpted by opposition, and that’s why nothing is wasted.

The specifics of our situation — the intensity of it, the label Targeted Individual — do not in themselves denote superiority over others.
They simply mark that God has seen fit to bestow tremendous lessons upon us, entrusting us with the position of student.
It is not an elevation, but a calling to deeper refinement.

Every pain is a classroom.
Every heartbreak, a lecture in humility.
And the tuition for wisdom is always the same: surrender.

If you listen long enough, the growl of the monster begins to sound like instruction.
It teaches boundaries, discernment, compassion, and courage — the very traits we begged God to give us, forgetting that He only gives them through experience.

We can fail. When we lack faith, when we refuse our place in God’s plan, we fail. There is no path to happiness for us outside of obeying God’s will. When we get in line, what was once insurmountable becomes well within our ability.

3 · The Freedom They Can’t Touch

When you’ve walked through fire and found meaning inside it, no one can imprison you again.
They can touch the day, but not the direction.
They can tamper with the mind’s surface, but not the soul’s compass.

When we recognize that we actually belong to God and that we are on loan to our own devices, it changes our approach. We have a responsibility. We are the Lord’s temple, and His operatives. We start with ourselves because we can’t give away what we don’t have.

True freedom isn’t the absence of control — it’s the discovery that God already controls what matters most.
And His plan, even when it breaks you, rebuilds you stronger.

Freedom is not escape; it’s recognition — of who owns your spirit.
When your allegiance is higher than circumstance, the chains of circumstance fall away.

And here lies the divine irony — the more we do for others, the freer we become.
Selflessness dissolves self-pity.
The moment you serve, you stop suffering as a solitary creature and begin living as part of something eternal.
We find joy not by clutching life but by giving it.
The heart that beats for others beats in rhythm with God’s own.

And when we return to our own life, it’s with new perspective and new eyes. It’s a process that works every time.

4 · The Final Turn

Looking back, we see it — the monsters were mercy. A sign of God’s love.
The pain was the map.
Every hardship was a coded message from a God who refuses to let us stay small.

He doesn’t ask us to understand — only to walk.
And in walking, we find that what once terrified us has transformed into testimony.

By His standards, He guides with a gentle hand; by ours, it’s life-changing and terrifying.
But it is what’s best for us in the end.

Patience, forgiveness, love — these are the three legacies assigned to us. These are our charges.

Patience — faith allows us to take life as it comes. Emotional manipulation is something we will face every day, and we need to lean on God for the patience to deal with circumstances and others.

Forgiveness — because our behaviors are controlled and not for the better, we cannot place blame on other TIs fully in every situation. Forgiveness is our tool for continuing without baggage. Forgiving someone else is actually done for ourselves and not for the other person. When we forgive, we release them from the racetrack of our minds — resentment falls away. We no longer replay past events with those people, saying to ourselves, “I should have said this….” It allows for inner peace with less in the way of negativity in our lives. We streamline emotionally.

Love — there was a saying that gained traction in the 1970s: “God is Love.” It is true. I mean that strictly. When we allow love in our hearts, we are allowing God in our hearts.

5 · The Convergence

In time, we begin to see the pattern — how the worst days were secretly aligned with the best lessons. Faith in the process gets us to that point.

Fate and faith were never separate; they were the two hands shaping the same clay.
The monster and the Maker were both working toward one thing — your maturation.

When we stop cursing the sculptor and learn to hold still, the blows become blessings.

“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods.”
— Attributed to Socrates by Plato, Phaedo

The ancients understood what we are still learning — that pain is the gate, and purification the passage.
Patience teaches us to wait for God’s rhythm.
Forgiveness teaches us to stop fighting His tempo.
Love teaches us that the entire symphony was written in our favor.
And selflessness — the final chord — teaches us to play it for someone else.

Every scar becomes a scripture; every loss, a translation of grace.
Freedom, in the end, was not something to win back — it was something to recognize.
For what God builds in the soul cannot be touched by any hand of man.

Patience. Forgiveness. Selflessness. God is Love.
