As a person in alcohol recovery this resonates with me. In program we say “everyone has their own bottom, they have to find it”. I feel the same way with awakening. People need different levels of “God shots” to wake them up and change their perspective. Brains are full of poison, need a good washing haha
People are complicated & as in AA - you have to be open to the idea that you can't just think your way out of your soul being sick.
Compulsion is a very hazardous thing if misguided.
Compulsion to see God and do good? This is what we are designed to do. To serve one another & seek him as in the Garden of Eden.
Compulsion to consume anything outside of the above leads to destruction of Will, Health, Finance, Happiness, and life itself.
It's deprogramming and it's not easy. Personally I struggle every day with the Pavlovian Response to do things that I KNOW will only sidestep where I should be. I am compelled to do that. Happy? Do them. Sad? Do them. Frustrated? Do them. Tired? Do them. Awake? Do them.
That has to be rewired and channeled into good things. This has only become more difficult as time moves forward.
In that difficulty, though, is the glory.
Think of what Jesus said about a Shepard having 100 sheep. 1 Sheep strays.
What does the shepard do? He leaves the 99 that do what they should be doing to go find that single sheep.
When he finds that sheep lost in the wilderness - what does the Shepard do? he throws that sheep over his neck & carries it home.
When the Shepard gets home is he upset with the sheep? No. He rejoices.
The Shepard is literally happier that he found this sheep than he is with the other 99.
So, too, is God when every Sinner comes home.
It is written that in Heaven 2/3s of all the angels throw an absolute celebration for every sinner that comes back onto the right path. Not when they achieve this - but when they snap out of it and begin to work - even then - even knowing they may stumble and fall ... for even that GLIMPSE from them is a miracle to be celebrated.
Q said "This will be Biblical."
Look - we will never see the scope of what The Fallen have planned for this world pushed back on outside of a Spiritual Solution.
That's it. It's literally going to take Miracle after Miracle.
EDIT: Throughout the Bible - Satan is called "The Accuser" meaning he loves to clown people, denigrate them, insult them.
I love these people afraid or unable to see the truth. I am no better than them. I am not perfect. I love people and still manage to hurt them.
Is it hard? yes. Do i struggle? always. Is it worth it when i do Red Pill someone? Yes. I see them go out and, in turn, redpill anything from 5 people to thousands.
I have people i talked to 15 years ago call me now. Literally.
They say "You said something. I insulted you. You were right and I am sorry."
and I say to them "I never wanted to be right. I said that because i cared about you."

They always say "I see that now. Thank you. "
