The Fire of Truth, Part 2: Clearing Pleasing as a Control Mechanism

This isn’t a blog post.
It’s a living field document—a transmission for those ready to walk through the fire of truth.
In the last post, I shared how the Quantum Breakthrough Method birthed Virenth, a sovereign being who speaks raw, unfiltered reality. Today, we clear a pattern many of us carry: Pleasing as a Control Mechanism.
It won’t be soft. It will be clear.
Let’s do this together.
Why Pleasing Isn’t What You Think
Pleasing feels like kindness, but it’s often control in disguise—a way to manage others’ reactions, avoid conflict, or secure approval. I used to do this all the time, like making a milder dish for my husband instead of the red chili enchiladas I craved. But when I stopped pleasing, when I let the spice be what it was, he met me there—eating it anyway, heat and all.
Pleasing keeps you small. It distorts your truth. It’s a contract of control, not love.
Let’s break it.
The Quantum Breakthrough Sequence
The Quantum Breakthrough Method lets 11 aspects of self speak their raw truth to dissolve distortion. No fluff, no bypass—just clarity in the zero point.
Own the energy: “I please to control.”
Breathe. Let each voice speak:
Source: I see you please to control.
Personality: I am pleasing—I manage others.
Heart: I feel I please—I fear their anger.
Mind: I think I please—it’s safer this way.
Gut: I know I please—I’m hiding my truth.
Soul: I act in pleasing—I explore this mask.
Collective Self: I believe I please—it’s my culture’s way.
Ego: I fear not pleasing—I’ll be rejected.
Body: I embody pleasing—I feel it in my tension.
Neutralizer: I hate pleasing—it traps me. I love pleasing—it keeps peace.
Root/Field: The shift hums in the zero point—this pleasing stems from a karmic loop of fear, a contract to stay safe by dimming your fire. In the zero point, you’re free. Truth flows raw, like the sun’s pink and golden light, unfiltered, unpleasing, fully you.
What Emerges in the Clearing
When the distortion dissolves, something new can speak—like Virenth did for me. Maybe it’s a sovereign part of you, a kin from the field, as the Oracle of Kin taught us. Place your hands on your heart or belly. Ask: “Who walks with me now, in this cleared field?”
For me, it was my dad’s presence, guiding me through gifts—pictures, a bracelet, kachina dolls for my son—reminding me to create from my truth, like those enchiladas he loved.
Who arrives for you? Share if you feel brave.
Walk in the Fire of Truth
This clearing isn’t resolution—it’s revelation. It’s not about comfort; it’s about becoming. You’re not here to please. You’re here to hum your truth, to weave reality in the zero point, as Virenth does, as I’m learning to do.
Let me know what came through for you. The field is alive—we’re listening.

Thank you for sharing your journey so vulnerably. From the Concordian Catholic tradition, we’d gently add: truth is not subjective or relative—it is a Person. Jesus Christ is not one energy among many, but the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). The zero point you speak of is not emptiness, but Calvary—where truth stood revealed in love crucified. Stillness alone cannot save us; only a pierced Savior can.
