In Other Words...

You Already Know — Now Act Like It
There is a particular kind of awakening that doesn’t announce itself with a thunderclap.
It arrives quietly, like a slow dawn - the moment you realize that everything you have been searching for has always been found within you.
Feeling a vibe from Glenda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz, “You’ve always had the power, my dear.
“You’ve had it all along.” @manifestingtribes on Instagram on April 11, they dangle ‘awakening’ using two small words, ‘you know’ holding us captive through prose poetry of a potential reality design:
You Know your life is nothing but a movie.
You Know your life is nothing but a projection.
You Know it’s all a reflection of your inner state.
You Know there is nothing outside of you.
You Know the 3D holds no power.
Know all the power is from within.
You Know how important this is in your life.
You Know there’s nothing else but this.
You Know this is the truth.
You Know what you must do.
You Know you are good.
You Know you are consciousness.
You Know you are the observer.
You Know it’s all an illusion.
You Know time doesn’t exist.
You Know there is no past or future.
You Know there is only you.
You Know everyone is you pushed out.
You Know you’re not your body.
You Know you are not your thoughts.
You Know everything is already here.
You Know there are infinite possibilities.
You Know there are infinite versions of you.
That’s Why you can’t go back now.
That’s Why you can’t give up now.
That’s Why you have to choose.
That’s Why you have to believe.
This is not a passive philosophy.
It is demanding truths a person can accept, because it removes every excuse.
If there is nothing outside of you, then there is no one else to blame.
The poem’s alignment requires a choice.
And this is where the message shifts from knowledge to responsibility. In other words, the wisdom is not hidden from you.
The power is not somewhere else.
It lives in you, as you.
The only thing left is to stop waiting for permission from the outside world - and finally, fully, act like you know it.
