The Blue Pill is a lie. The goals and ideals you were conditioned to believe were worth building a life around are integral to that lie. The reason you're struggling with inner conflict is because you want that lie to be true, but your gut says something's off.

Once you're Red Pill aware of how you fit into perpetuating that lie there is no going back. There are no valid parts of a false system to hang onto. They're just reminders of your old ignorance, so returning to those false-hope ideals just makes you more self-conscious of them.

A healthy red pill awareness requires not only a Man’s reassessment and recreation of himself, but also that he abandon his former blue pill paradigm and learn to live in a new, positive, red pill paradigm.

It seems like a daunting task when you first come to terms with it, but ultimately your awareness becomes an internalized part of who you are. You can allow that to consume you with a paranoia rooted in your former blue pill frame,…

or you can learn to create hope in a new system – one that you not only have more control over, but one that requires you to assume that control.

Once you're unplugged there is no going back, but even if you could, why would you feel like you wanted to?

There are no 'good parts' of your old Blue Pill world.

Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Easier is telling yourself that you actually need the little lies the blue pill provides. Easier is is thinking the blue pill is the sugar that helps the medicine go down.

Better is recreating a new, positively masculine, direction for yourself based on the awareness and the opportunity that the red pill provides and requires of you.
