Tocqueville said: “Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends.” This statement seems to be both an observation on reality, as well as advice on spreading truth. What is Creator’s perspective on this statement?

This speaks to the issue of conformity of thought and a slavish obedience to authority. It is in conflicting thoughts, feelings, and perceptions that truth is often rediscovered, when people have become slaves to sameness and mediocrity living slave-like existences, being forced into menial work to eke out a living. The compounding of complacency with limited possibilities for change, for raising up of standards and circumstances for living, or even greater freedom of thought and expression, the stultifying sameness drives out individual initiative and originality. When all are herded together as sheep, no one will question what goes on, they will simply follow one another, think as they do, feel as they do, and live as they do. It is often the case that only when an outsider challenges the established order that people will stop and think and possibly consider there may be alternatives—that can shake things up and change the destiny of those awake enough to see the new possibilities. Many times, what comes along as a challenge or obstacle is actually engineered to happen by the darkness previously arranging the complacency. This reveals a deeper truth, that one has been lulled into a false sense of security, and, in fact, likely have been neglecting their own future through a lack of preparedness for future obstacles and difficulties that are unexpected, but may well be arranged to happen simply to upset the applecart and even cause extreme suffering. Those who can speak to the dangers in having things not attended to, not allowing a true strengthening even if it means a break in the tradition of sameness, to allow some to have greater authority and autonomy because their innovations could be valuable and even vitally important to overcoming a threat of some kind, such allowances are healthy in an environment where true freedom prevails. So it is often the disturbing and upsetting truthful questioning and criticism that may save the day, particularly so if the sheep are being led to slaughter when their wool is no longer needed. Humanity has been content to be sheared again and again and again. There may be a worse fate in your future if people do not wake up to the reality of their existence.
