Apathy for Truth - The Great Work (Pt.2)
Apathy for Truth
The Work of the "Dead" (Lower "Unconscious" Living)
Please read the previous post Care for Truth - The Great Work (Pt.1) to gain a prerequisite understanding on the topic of "The Great Work".
In contrast, if we are apathetic to truth, then we don't care for truth, and won't seek it out, accept it, and then live it. We remain in a state of ignorance, willfully ignoring, rejecting and denying the truth in the current condition of reality.
We choose to believe whatever we want, desire or wish to believe. We agree to the conditioned stimulus of the standardized and normalized acceptability spectrum for our society and how we live our life. There is no need to learn, be curious, doubt and question things, because we accept it the the illusion of "good" as being valid, normal, natural or necessary. This is the wrong kind of acceptance, tacitly accepting the current condition and talking about the same things, not really deeply thinking, not critical thinking about the current condition and seeing what is wrong with it.
This leads to a lack of understanding, a misconception and confusion of reality, living in falsity and illusions, and ultimately being fooled whereby we accept falsity over truth because we don't actually care for truth nor realize the importance of truth in life.
As a result of being fooled by lies, falsity, deception and manipulation, we act foolishly and continue to engage in wrong-actions, even without knowing it. We support and participate in some form of creating wrong into the world because we remain ignorant that it's even wrong. We may even deny it's wrong, because we are too attached to it as the current condition that we have been conditioned into accepting uncritically. We accept what is being done as needing to continue, because that's how it has been done. We validate it through ancestor fallacies.
This prevents us from changing our ways, to instead do the right-action, since we can't even recognize and realize we are doing a wrong-action. We are made impotent, unable to change through learned helplessness, accepting the standard normalization of our current condition and not trying to change it.
To be apathetic, ignorant, confused and misconceiving reality and truth, to then act foolishly, means we are a coward and in fear of truth deep down within ourselves, in our consciousness. If we don't develop True Care, we go nowhere! We are limited in our ability to create true freedom and peace, and it won't work out in the end because we will be working against what is right, good and true in ignorance of what is right, good and true.
The Remedy for Apathy is Care
Overall, apathy for truth is to be and remain "unconscious", “dead”, “asleep”, "sheep", unawakened and uninitiated. We are "dead" in the coffin or tomb, unconscious to Moral Truth and it's importance in life, unawakened, asleep. We lack care, not living in greater Care for Moral Truth, so it symbolizes a "deadened" "heart" center, a "deadened" core, "essence", "spirit" and consciousness.
When someone is literally dead, there is no consciousness or action in life, hence the symbolism of being "unconscious". When someone is asleep, not awake, they are also unconscious an inactive. It's to be unconscious and inactive relative to being consciously aware of the importance of caring for truth and acting in alignment with truth. Analogy, metaphor and symbolism is used to expressed this understanding of unrealized and unactualized potential to care for, seek, embrace, embody and live up to the Moral Truth as a truer, realer, higher version of ourselves.
When we choose to Care for Truth, and specifically Moral Truth, we develop a higher consciousness. We become "initiated", "awake" and aware, where we are "resurrected", "rebirthed" and "raised" from the "deadened" lower state of consciousness. We rise to a higher, truer and realer consciousness, and are now "alive", into a "new life", a "New World", an "afterlife", "eternal life" and "immortal life" that is given to us by the "light" of truth in our lives, the divine "Word" of "God", the Logos, the Good.
If you are familiar with many of the narratives and mythologies of religions or "mystery" schools, this is what is actually being talked about.
As I mentioned in a previous post on Thoth (Thought), the Great Magician, the "god" of the "underworld" was called Osiris. Osiris was the Lord of Life, the "eternal life" through "resurrection" and "rebirth". I also explained the meaning behind the black/green symbolism that some "gods" had, representing aspects of generation and creation.
The underworld is the previously unknown darkness and shadow within us, where we face our demons in the darkness, and we need to use the light of truth to battle these dark forces and put them to death. Then we gain life, are resurrected and rebirthed, regenerated and recreated anew, and reach an after-life/heaven of a new world of being.
It's all symbolism, not literal. This is the journey to the underworld, facing ourselves in the mirror, where we are our own worst enemies, we are our own adversaries, our own opposers, that we finally have the care, courage and willpower to conquer and destroy.

Great post!
Many people can be apathetic and very active at the same time.
It happens when they do many things, but all they do is not related to the pursue of truth and nourishing inner inspiration.
