When truth makes a person look at themselves, all sorts of things are revealed. Most times though the selfish mind creates a lie to avoid the truth…
It’s unfortunate, but most people live a life consumed by a lie more so than one of truth. They believe they’re living by truth, but upon further investigation this fallacy can be seen. On the outside the lie seems so much better, and this is what keeps a person locked into it; this is only because of selfishness that makes it seem better. When truth makes you look at yourself, all sorts of things are revealed. Without this understanding, the truth is avoided as if it was a plague. Becoming aware of the lies so truth can be revealed is essential in understanding yourself. Try to settle down the selfish mind and watch how little stillness there is. Just try to be with whatever is there, that’s where stillness is. When the selfish mind isn’t looking for anything, stillness arises.
Only a selfish mind needs to create a lie, only when the lie is seen will the lie fall away. This doesn’t mean you don’t make changes, but when changes aren’t necessary, the mind is settled. This is why I don’t share positive versus negative because if there’s negativity and you want positivity, it’s no different than if you are positive and you don’t want anything negative. A selfish mind is a mind that needs things to be its way whether it’s positive or negative; this is the selfish mind lie. The truth is nothing needs to be different; the selfish mind will settle when you can be with life as it is…
