In the first article of this series, we tried to help you figure out who you are when external reference points are removed.
Today we will talk about true motivation, why you are moving in a particular direction, or more precisely — what motives are your drivers.
“Why?” — the cornerstone of your motivation
After you have realized who you are without external evaluations, comparisons, and reference points, you begin to choose what is truly important to you, what truly has value, what is critical, and then consciously shape and cultivate it.
But to approach this step, you need to have already gained some experience; otherwise, your psyche will wait for a ready-made step-by-step recipe. And someone else’s recipe won’t work, because this is the phase where you consciously begin to create.
Here we smoothly transition into the second part, related to the question “Why?” or your true motivation.
Although this question is last among the three, it is actually the cornerstone.
Nowadays, there are many videos and posts about disappointment in certain directions and movements, because everything has reached the point of absurdity. Absurdity manifests everywhere to make people return to the basics. And the question “why?” is the motivation that drives us.
Earlier, I shared my revelation about why the basic truths, which seemed bright and constructive, led to such a sad, horrifying result in the topic of clip thinking, lack of critical thinking, and verification of any facts.
When you are entirely and completely inscribed in the 3D matrix, you have dualistic thinking. No matter what great thing you take, when superimposed on the 3D matrix, duality, it immediately splits into two parts: light and darkness.
Therefore, first you must pull yourself out of this matrix, learn to exist above it, remove the extreme manifestations of polarity and opposition (which is the main mechanism of matrix structures), and only then will you be able to look at various revelations, messages, and so on.
Otherwise, no matter how bright and vivid your aspirations are, the motive inside remains at the 3D level.

The first 3D motive — fear
The simplest example is action driven by fear.
Throughout the pandemic period, people were pumped with fear.
If you take the topic of forecasts, open any astrologer’s prediction; it is rare to see something positive there; everyone scares us: horror stories about Retrograde Mercury, Venus, full moons.
Fear in the topic of spirituality. Recently, someone wrote a comment on the topic of headaches. Headache = I am not keeping up with the processes happening with the Earth — meaning I am a failure, an outsider, and so on. It seems like everyone else feels normal, they will stay on Earth, but after some events, I have a headache, so I am a failure.
Psychologists call this avoidance motivation — when the main driver is not “I want,” but “I am afraid of not making it.”
Super mechanics. Here is the foundation — binary, matrix-based.
There is a fact — a headache. We know that the Earth is moving upward on an increasing trajectory; you cannot stop. And how is this perceived? Since I have a headache (this falls onto 3D-level conditioning) — I am not like that, I must, I am not keeping up.
Take the topic of the transition. Must, must, must! Faster! Or else everyone will transition, and you will die. Some teachers, bloggers, and trainers openly talk about this, frightening people even more. A good motive for development?
The effect is the same: you develop, you try to change something in your life, but the motive is important — Why? What are you doing this for?
A huge number of people continue to act out of fear. And if you consider that people mostly come to the topic of self-development when things are bad, when they are scared, and try to make things a little better from a bad situation, how far do you think you can get with that?
That is why it shakes you, so that you finally see — on this 3D motive, you cannot rise anywhere.
Higher powers do not teach; they shake you so much that you are left without this, so that it finally flies out of you, and you stop relying on your fear as the main driving motive.

Second 3D motive — gain
Another “why” is gain.
Write in the comments: who came to the topic of spirituality to get something for themselves?
Those for whom everything was bad, looking for any opportunity to ease their life, and accidentally end up in this topic, eventually find relief.
But the problem is that this gain is written as one of the parameters in the matrix, or rather, it has been written in over the last 20 years due to the increase in consumerism from all sides.
This is related to economics and manipulation.
Sometimes this gain is not visible.
Have you ever felt disappointment because you do the practices, but “the cart is still there”? Maybe this is not for me? Maybe I shouldn’t be here? Maybe I am learning from the wrong people?
The gain is not stated, but it is implied. If I put in certain efforts, I should have a result.
Or a common example — since I’m spiritual, since I love myself, take care of myself, shine — everything should be pink and chocolate, everything should work out on the first try, no unpleasant stories can happen in my life.
Well, it became easier, and here it got better, and there. That’s it! Now it should always be like this!

The principle of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” in the topic of spirituality
Before, there was the principle of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.”
You do this for me, then I’ll do that for you. Someone thought one step ahead: “let me do this for you.” But it’s still implied that something will come in return. And then a huge number of grievances in life are associated with this: “I helped him! And he said no.”
Initially, the principle of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” is embedded, the pursuit of benefit.
After all, this has become deeply ingrained, and we don’t even notice in which areas of life it manifests.
Long ago, we had volunteering. When we didn’t know where to fit in, we were volunteers. The concept of a volunteer is that if a person has free time and a desire to help someone, they do it for free, spending their time, energy, money, and so on.
Now, volunteering is a profitable activity. The word remains, but benefit has appeared there.
Before, if you were a nobody, you considered it a blessing to attach yourself to anyone, to be with those people who are ahead, and you were ready to help with all your might.
Now, however, consciousness has been reformatted in terms of everyone wanting to get a lot of money right away.
Therefore, in this “why” there is a very powerful motive — benefit, not always voiced, not always understood. Behind most actions and decisions, including in the realm of spirituality, lies benefit.
And this determines where you are going. But that is the subject of the third article in this series.
What motives most often drive you in directions that are important to you?
