Just because you think it that doesn’t make it true. It may be what you think to be truth, but upon further investigation it’s probably just a made up story providing you with a pleasurable way of how you want things. We use the story of love in this way, but it’s really only to pat ourselves on the back because we make up the story that love is a good thing; we get pleasure out of anything labeled as a good thing. We use God in this way to strictly provide pleasure, nothing more; like there’s really something out there that cares about what you do. All these made up pleasure stories block you from seeing the truth of what’s really going on. If a story is being used to make up what truth is, I guarantee you it’s not truth, it’s only a story that’s providing pleasure.
Truth is not something to know. It can’t be defined with words because it’s only seen when the mind is settled. When you judge regardless of what it is, you are applying a story (your version of truth) of how you think things should be. This is the same with every situation, the judgements are only there to provide yourself with the pleasure of the way you think things should be. Life is always as it is and until you can just be with it instead of always wanting it in a way that provides pleasure, truth will never be experienced. Thus your story of pleasure (a made up version of truth) will continue its control and unfortunately so will the suffering of constantly needing the next pleasure story…
