Our Quest for Truth

Truth is absolute. A little bit of falsity, a little bit of error, renders Truth untrue. Truth has to be true to be Truth! The point is that something is either true or false. Something is either real or illusion. There are no compromises here. Our True Identity is the same. We are exactly as we were created, whole, indivisible, at one with our Source, completely at peace. That being said, we have no experience of that absolute. How could we? Experience by definition is a unique thing different from other experiences. Non-duality is the condition of Truth. There is nothing other. There is nothing else. We live in a world of duality, a world of differences and experiences. Our goal is not to understand or experience Truth. Neither is possible. Our goal is to experience the reflection of Truth in our seeming world of duality and differences. The reflection of Truth is experienced when we are no longer willing to lie to ourselves anymore. Our quest is that simple and that difficult.

  1. I think some people get confused and a little depressed when we say you can't really experience Truth in the world because they so want validation for themselves and what they experience, bad or good. I like the idea of seeing the 'reflection of Truth' because it reminds me of looking into a mirror to see Who we are and Who is our support. Like the lesson today, we experience the Truth like light, mostly in reflection.

  2. I am listening to Gary Renard's audio book: Secrets of the Immortal (thanks to Sig!).

    I loved his analogy of this.... he said it is like trying to ride two horses at the same time. It will split us completely in two. Hence the split mind.

    Every moment we have this choice. One will bring us peace and the other will not. It is our choice to acknowledge the ever bright light or to continue to obscure it.

    Thank you, D, for this reminder of our quest.

    (Hey... "quest"... can I use that? :) )

  3. Many are so far removed from the truth that they do not recognize it when it happens. Good thoughts, thanks for sharing.
