Truth isn’t created, it’s not something that can be held onto, it’s only known when it’s realized there’s nothing to know and it’s in the not knowing that truth is known…
To me it’s clear what truth is and here’s why: Thirteen years ago when I needed a different way to live my life, at the core of this looking was the urge for peace. I didn’t know much about anything, but I did know I needed a different way to view life. I understood one thing, that my own mind was the cause as to why I wasn’t at peace so I set out to find out why this was and if it was possible to be at peace. As this process of self inquiry proceeded, my view was slowly becoming different and as this happened my life become less and less about me. It didn’t become about anyone else, it just wasn’t all about fulfilling my wants and desires anymore; when this happens qualities associated with peace naturally arise. This doesn’t mean everything goes the way that it’s wanted, but it’s does mean it doesn’t matter how it goes because if it’s not all about me there’s no story of wanting and needing things a certain way and without a story there is peace.
Truth is difficult to describe in words because it’s defined differently by everyone, I have found truth in the space of what is; not what is itself, but the space of what is. What is has many labels that depend on what’s occurring at the time. It can horrible, beautiful, or neutral, the label doesn’t change what’s actually occurring. Being in the space of what is occurring changes it and that’s because without a label there’s only space. In this space there’s no story and without a story truth is revealed. It’s not a created truth, it’s the truth of just being with what’s here right now and not needing to add a label or story to it. In this space is where truth is revealed, but it has nothing to do with you or anyone else and this is when you’ll clearly see the truth in the space of what is…
