When I discovered the red pill, it felt like my eyes were opened and suddenly it clicked why everything had never made sense or worked as planned, before.
I made huge changes in my life and mindset over the next several years. I read all I could about relationships and dynamics between men and women based on the red pill. I learned a great deal and what I learned has greatly improved my life.
So what’s the downside?
The downside of the red pill, or one of them anyway, is that once one realizes it, you go through a stages of grief almost as you process that everything you have ever been told about how the world works, doesn’t.
Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. And finally, acceptance.
I realized I had been sold an experimental life script. I and those of my generation and those after were unwitting guinea pigs in perhaps the largest social experiment ever. And that much of the pain and failure I had experienced in relationships and life, was because of that. And that I would never get that time or those opportunities back. And that I didn’t even know how to do things different. And that there were few places, if any, to learn how. I had to move forward without a map or much support in society for my quest.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
That ALL SUCKS BIG TIME.
Yeah, it almost seems easier not to face all of that truth. Many people won’t even peek under the lid of life because facing such things is not for the feint of heart.
But what you have seen cannot be unseen. And the only choice is to move forward the best you can. And while it is not always easy, isn’t that better than continuing to work a broken script?
If nothing else, one can use the information make the most of the life they have left and to try and leave the world a better place for the generations to come by sharing what was learned with others in hopes to help them avoid the same.
The older I get, the more and more I can see we only have limited days on this earth. The past is done, the future unwritten, but we do have this — the now to seize. Reality is what one makes it. You are the author of your fate.
And knowing that is ironically a major upside of the red pill.
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
Bloom – that is truth right there. i often remind myself of these verses so i don’t forget:
2 Kings 6:13-17
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

because … thou art wise, my friend 🙂

thanks, Bloom, for allowing this discussion 🙂
I read a book once, written by a woman who as a child was involved by her parents in the Satanic church, experienced ritual abuse, who grew up to become a real witness for the Lord, and she would pray (and now I do too) “Lord, please ring this house (or hospital room, or wherever) with your angels of protection.” Because she was well aware in a way most of are not that there were dark forces also trying to take hold, and that she could not face or fight them, but they were no match before the Lord. And I have no doubt he does ring my home with angels. In times of trouble, I imagine them there. Talk about cosmic backup! 😀
@ Ame, I do not often talk about my faith, because I never want anyone to feel put off or pressured or preached to. Because people tried to do that to me and I never like being “sold” so to speak. But I think of these things often, to myself. It’s been nice to talk about it!
Also, semi-on the same topic, my youngest came home from school yesterday with a project they made at school (public). It’s a Christmas countdown, with 24 paper rings to countdown to Christmas. And it actually said “Christmas!” Not “holiday.” I thought that was very cool.
But I get how it can seem evil is winning. I was reading the general news yesterday, which I rarely do, and my God the things that are going on. People being kidnapped, tortured, people pimping out their own kids, terror, murders, sick sick sicko stuff. Haunting. Made me so upset I could not get it out of my mind (which is why I avoid reading that stuff.) It is overwhelming. I get it. But then I remember, ultimately no amount of darkness can overcome light. That is my comfort.
Ok I gotta watch that Honey Badger thing again…

A hard lesson in Tao, and a very important and heartfelt article. Thanks for writing, RPG.
