I find the truth - however painful and difficult to bear - far more liberating than the experience of living within a lie. Such a suffocated life is the stuff of nightmares to me, and is rejected on every single level of my being.
My soul would rather see the darkness - whatever it is - and seek to alchemize it into the rarest light - than to live a single day under the tyranny of falsehood.
When I feel the stirring in my gut that something does not have the ring of truth, I have no interest in pretending it to be so. When I sense the tingling through my skin that something is a lie, I listen immediately, and I go deeper into that sensation.
My only interest when I sense such a thing is to move into understanding the actuality of what is occurring. My only interest is to move towards the seed of truth.
I go after the truth with a ferocity that I must admit - has gotten me into trouble. I’m learning how to temper that movement. I’m learning, too, that not everyone ( in fact very few ) actually want to live within truth.
Most people seem to want to live in various states of continuous and perpetual denial.
I understand, in some way.
The truth of what is occurring is dark, indeed.
And now we have a whole culture that continually perpetuates living within a lie, through various states of total and utter denial. Our entire culture is dedicated to the perpetuation of denial, where our true shadow is never engaged, while most populations skirt around the essence of what it is that we are moving through.
Through this massive and ongoing denial, the life of the spirit is slaughtered. It is a slow slaughtering - so slow - that most people are not even aware that it is occurring.
Yes, you can fit into the deranged structures of this world, it is convenient, but is it wise?
Will it really bring your soul where it is that you want to go?
Do you even know where that place is?
Do you even have the desire to know?
The world begins when we seek truth, however horrible it might be.
It is only then that true liberation is possible, as one consciously is able to bring themselves - step by step, rung by rung - into the upward spiral.
