I start with an analogy. You are sitting in a tiny room. There is one window, one bed, one door, one table. Plain white walls, a bare floor. A plastered ceiling painted white. You can see nothing through the window. The door is locked.
An unknown voice speaks in your head. It is all you have ever known. It is easy to accept. The voice tells you to stop being curious about the door and what is beyond it. The door is locked for your own good. There is nothing beyond it, so don`t try opening it.
This is your life. You accept implicitly the words of the unknown voice. You grow accustomed to there being nothing beyond the door. It is your life.
Now, much later, another voice speaks in your mind. It tells you to disbelieve the words of the first voice. They are lies. There is something beyond the door. There is more to existence than that room. There is so much more out there.
What do you do?
You ignore the second voice. It scares you. If what it says is right then your whole existence is a sham. A lie. It can`t be so. The first voice can`t lie, what would be the point?
This is what is happening to you each and every day. You deny the words of truth. (Extract taken from 'The Chronicles Of Ezra' by Matthew James)
