Until you can be with life as it is without lack, a lack story disguised as truth will continue its control and unfortunately so will the suffering of constantly needing to reach for something because of lack…
Just because you have a thought about something that doesn’t make it automatically true. It may be associated with what is thought to be true, but upon further investigation it’s probably just a made up lack story providing you with a direction of the way you think things should be. We use the story of helping others in this way, but it’s really in place to pat ourselves on the back because we make up the story that helping others is a good thing; we use anything to fill our arisen lack. We also use God in this way to strictly fill lack, nothing more. All these made up lack 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 arising from lack.
Truth is not something to know. It can’t be defined adequately with words because it’s only seen when the mind is settled. When you judge someone regardless of what they do, you are applying a lack story (your version of truth) of how you think they should be. This is the same with life situations, and these judgements are only there to fill some lack. Life is always as it is and until you can just be with it instead of always wanting it different, truth will never be experienced. Thus your lack story (a made up version of truth) will continue its control and unfortunately so will the suffering of constantly needing to make up a story from lack…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
