🩸 #1240 — THE END OF THE FENCE
Red Blood Journal
There is a dream that many people have in different forms throughout their lives.
A person is walking alone beside a chain-link fence. On the other side stands a lion.
The lion is powerful, majestic, and dangerous.
Seeing the lion safely behind the fence, the person feels secure. There is confidence. There is distance. There is protection. There is even enough comfort to mock the lion.
After all, the fence is there.
The lion cannot reach.
The person continues walking, believing the separation will always exist.
Then something unexpected happens.
The fence ends.
Suddenly there is nothing between the person and the lion.
No barrier.
No protection.
No distance.
Only the realization that what seemed impossible a moment ago is now reality.
The person awakens in panic.
Most would say the dream is about fear.
Red Blood Journal sees something else.
The dream is about awakening.
THE FENCES OF LIFE
Human beings are born into fences.
Religious fences.
Political fences.
National fences.
Cultural fences.
Economic fences.
Educational fences.
Each fence provides a framework through which reality is viewed.
The fences tell people what to think.
Who to trust.
Who to fear.
What is sacred.
What is forbidden.
What is true.
What is false.
Many never question the fence because it provides comfort.
A fence allows a person to discuss reality without directly facing it.
It creates the illusion of safety.
TALKING ABOUT THE LION
Humanity spends much of its existence talking about the lion.
Some worship it.
Some fear it.
Some deny it exists.
Some write books about it.
Some create institutions around it.
Some create entire civilizations around their interpretation of it.
Generations debate the lion.
Experts analyze the lion.
Leaders claim authority over the lion.
Yet few actually meet it.
The fence always remains between them and direct experience.
The fence becomes so familiar that people mistake it for reality itself.
THE MOMENT THE FENCE ENDS
For some, a day comes when the fence suddenly disappears.
A contradiction appears.
A question emerges.
A life event shakes certainty.
A personal experience cannot be explained by inherited beliefs.
A moment of deep meditation.
A profound loss.
A spiritual realization.
A glimpse inward.
The person discovers that the fence was never reality.
It was only a description of reality.
The map was mistaken for the territory.
The explanation was mistaken for the experience.
The symbol was mistaken for the truth.
And now there is no longer anything standing between the observer and the lion.
WHY THE FEAR APPEARS
The fear is not caused by the lion.
The fear comes from the collapse of certainty.
For the first time, the individual must face existence directly.
No institution can walk that path for them.
No authority can substitute for the journey.
No label can provide the answer.
The questions become personal.
Who am I?
What am I beyond my labels?
What remains when beliefs are removed?
What is consciousness?
What is love?
What is fear?
What is reality itself?
The lion waits patiently.
The lion does not move.
The panic comes from realizing that the encounter cannot be avoided forever.
THE GREAT MISUNDERSTANDING
Many spend their lives running back toward the fence.
Searching for another system.
Another authority.
Another explanation.
Another label.
Another barrier between themselves and the mystery.
But perhaps the lion was never the enemy.
Perhaps the lion is the guardian.
The keeper of the gate.
The final challenge before entering the deepest part of oneself.
The lion asks only one question:
Are you willing to meet reality directly?
THE STEP FORWARD
The awakening begins when a person realizes that certainty is not wisdom.
Belonging is not understanding.
Repeating is not knowing.
And believing is not experiencing.
The fence may provide comfort.
But growth begins when the fence ends.
The first step is always frightening.
The second step is easier.
The third step becomes curiosity.
Then wonder.
Then understanding.
Then peace.
Final Reflection
Most people spend their lives speaking about the lion from behind the fence.
Few discover that the fence eventually ends.
Fewer still find the courage to continue walking.
Yet beyond that moment of fear lies the possibility of something extraordinary.
The discovery that the lion was never the enemy.
The discovery that the greatest journey was never outward.
It was inward.
And beyond the lion, beyond the fear, beyond the fences and labels, waits the same destination sought by every soul since the beginning of time:
The Ocean of Love, Positivity, and Understanding from which we all emerge and to which we all return.

THE END OF THE FENCE
🦁 The Lion and the Collapse of Certainty
Jun 7, 2026
This text explores the metaphorical transition from inherited social frameworks to direct personal realization.
Using the imagery of a lion behind a fence, the author suggests that most people live within the safety of predefined beliefs and cultural labels that protect them from the raw intensity of existence.
True spiritual awakening occurs when these artificial barriers collapse, forcing an individual to confront ultimate reality without the filter of institutions or experts.
While the loss of these certainties initially triggers profound fear, this discomfort is a necessary stage in achieving authentic growth.
Ultimately, the passage encourages readers to move past symbolic descriptions of truth to find inner peace and an direct connection to a universal source of love.
