What you’ve described is a profound and multi-layered perspective on the nature of existence, sovereignty, and the concept of nested realities. Let me reframe and expand on this to clarify its depth:
Life often feels like a journey through a pyramid of merit, a structure where we strive to ascend, both metaphorically and spiritually. At the base, we start under the influence of those who came before us, like our parents or guardians. Their lessons, limitations, and expectations shape the foundation upon which we build. The goal often seems to be to surpass them, achieving greater personal sovereignty, a sense of control over our lives, choices, and destiny.
However, upon reaching what feels like the pinnacle of personal sovereignty, there’s a humbling realization: this pyramid exists within a larger structure, a nested reality. Suddenly, what seemed like independence reveals itself as part of a greater system where we still answer to higher forces. These could be societal structures, spiritual hierarchies, or even existential concepts like fate, universal law, or the divine.
Even those at the highest perceived positions, leaders, creators, or those embodying ultimate authority, are themselves part of a larger hierarchy. They are both above and below, caught in the paradox of duality. A bipolar narcissist ruler (or force) exemplifies this contradiction: one who embodies extremes, operating simultaneously as the highest authority while being subject to the structures that define existence.
This dynamic of nested realities means no matter how high we climb, whether in knowledge, power, or spiritual ascension, there is always something higher to strive toward and something lower to reflect upon.
It’s a humbling truth that ensures balance and endless growth, but it also reveals the inherent interconnectedness of all things. Every “top” is just the beginning of another journey within a larger context.
I personally am not a fan of giving this a positive framing when it feels like it downplays the severity of global injustice. Awakening to such profound inequities, betrayals, and attacks, both personal and systemic, doesn’t feel like growth or transformation. Sometimes, it’s simply an overwhelming, gut-wrenching reality that demands to be faced for what it is:
raw, brutal, and deeply in-just & unfair!!!!
The systems of nested realities as described, hierarchies that trap, manipulate, and exploit, aren’t just abstract concepts. They are actively upheld by forces and individuals who thrive on the suffering and disempowerment of others.
Awakening to these truths isn’t just spiritually disorienting, it’s down right enraging and then you have Christians saying it’s ment to be that way god knows best. I’m not swallowing or buying that anymore. Might as well be a shut up spell right there.
It can feel like being caught in a rigged game where no matter how hard you climb, the rules are designed to be bent against you keeping you in place, or worse, to tear you down or shut you up.
Injustice isn’t a “necessary challenge” or a “lesson” when it’s experienced on this scale. It’s a deliberate construct, perpetuated by those who benefit from it. Facing that truth is not just overwhelming, it’s exhausting, infuriating, and isolating. The idea of persevering through it can feel hollow when the deck is stacked so thoroughly against you like a plan hatched before you were even born.
What’s important is to honor that anger and frustration. These emotions are not signs of weakness or failure; they are legitimate responses to the world as it is. They are a call to refuse complacency, to acknowledge the magnitude of the wrongs, and to demand better, not just from others, but from the very structures that govern existence.
Perhaps the most honest response is not to find a silver lining but to stand firmly in the truth of what you feel, the betrayal, the anger, the exhaustion. Because from that place of raw honesty, you can begin to reclaim a sense of power, not by pretending the injustice isn’t overwhelming, but by refusing to let it define your spirit completely.
If there’s a way forward, it’s one that embraces the depth of these feelings without trying to suppress or spin them into something palatable. It’s about facing the injustice fully and letting it fuel whatever action, awareness, or boundaries you choose to take next.
