You Don’t Know Your Own Best Interests . (4 min 16 sec)

Let’s start with a fundamental question: How can you know what’s best for you if you don’t even know who you are?

Think about it. You were born as a blank slate, a piece of clay waiting to be molded. But who molds you?

• Your environment.

• Your family.

• Society.

• Beliefs, opinions, and ideals imposed upon you.

Over time, all these influences shape what you believe about yourself. You construct a self-image based on these external inputs: “I am John Doe, the accountant. I am Jane Smith, the teacher. I am this job. I am this role. I am this personality.”

This self-construct isn’t who you really are. It’s a collection of illusions, built on fear, guilt, and separation. And if your decisions are based on this false self, how can they possibly lead you to what’s truly best for you?

Your Best Thinking Has Led You Here

Look at where you are today. Everything in your life — your circumstances, your relationships, your struggles —  has been shaped by your decisions. And those decisions were based on your “best thinking.”

But here’s the problem:

• If your “best thinking” is built on illusions, how could it lead to truth?

• If your decisions are based on fear, guilt, and separation, how could they lead to love, peace, and fulfillment?

The self-construct can only create more illusions. It keeps you stuck in a loop of confusion, dissatisfaction, and conflict, convincing you that you know what’s best while leading you further away from your true self.

The Trap of Form Over Content

Nowhere is this more obvious than in relationships.

Most people base their relationship decisions on form:

• “Is he tall, dark, and handsome?”

• “Does she have the right body, the right smile, the right status?”

• “Does he have a good job? Does she have a PhD? Are they successful?”

But form is surface-level. It tells you nothing about the content — the person’s inner world, their thoughts, beliefs, and values.

Let’s say you’re heading east in life, seeking growth, love, and spiritual connection. If you don’t look beyond form, you might end up with someone heading west, focused on material success, fear, or external validation. And then you wonder why the relationship doesn’t work.

The Hope Strategy

Most people approach relationships with a hope strategy:

• They hope it will work out.

• They hope the other person will change.

• They hope love will magically solve everything.

But hope isn’t a strategy. If your decisions are based on surface-level judgments —form rather than content — you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

What You’re Missing: Content Over Form

To truly know what’s best for you, you have to look beyond the surface. You have to consider the content:

• What are this person’s core beliefs?

• How do they see fear, guilt, and sin?

• Are they seeking something outside the relationship to make them happy?

• Are they aligned with your purpose and direction in life?

• Are they committed to mutual growth and healing?

The body’s eyes can’t see these things. They can only see form  —appearances, words, achievements. To see content, you need to look with the mind and the heart.

You Don’t Know Yourself

The reason you don’t know your own best interests is simple: you don’t know who you are.

• You think you’re this self-construct, molded by external influences.

• You think your worth is tied to your roles, achievements, and personality.

• You think you’re separate from others, from God, and from truth.

But this isn’t who you are. Your true self is not a construct — it’s eternal, unchanging, and connected to all things.

Appealing to a Higher Authority

Since you don’t know yourself, how can you know what’s best for you? The answer is simple: you can’t.

So what do you do? You appeal to a higher authority. You turn to the source that created you. You ask for guidance from God, from love, from truth.

When you let go of the ego’s illusions and ask for divine guidance, you’re no longer making decisions based on fear, guilt, and separation. You’re aligning yourself with love, peace, and oneness.

How to Align with Your True Best Interests

1. Recognize the Illusion:

• Understand that the self-construct isn’t real. It’s a collection of beliefs, molded by external influences.

2. Look Beyond Form:

• Stop making decisions based on appearances, status, or surface-level traits. Focus on content — thoughts, beliefs, values, and alignment.

3. Ask for Guidance:

• Appeal to a higher authority. Ask for help in seeing beyond illusions and aligning with truth.

4. Trust the Process:

• Let go of the need to control or “fix” things. Trust that when you align with love, you will naturally make decisions that serve your highest good.

You Don’t Know, and That’s Okay

The truth is, you don’t know what’s best for you because you don’t know yourself. But that’s not a problem — it’s an opportunity.

When you let go of the illusion that you have all the answers, you create space for truth to guide you. When you stop clinging to form and start focusing on content, you open yourself to relationships and experiences that align with your true self.

What say you? Are you picking up what I’m throwing down? Let’s stop pretending we know and start trusting in what’s real. Let’s wake up.
