Until you can be with life as it is without needing, a needed story disguised as truth will continue its control, and unfortunately so will the suffering of constantly thinking you have a need to fill…
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 needing 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 needing. We also use God in this way to strictly fill needing, nothing more. All these made up needing 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 needing.
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 needing 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 need. Life is always as it is, and until you can just be with it instead of needing it different, truth will never be experienced. Thus your needing story will continue its control, and unfortunately so will your suffering because of constantly thinking you have a need to fill…
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.
