Life is a beautiful place and forever it will be, an intentional school that never relents on its educational goals. We are forever presented with learning opportunities. A lifelong school indeed!
When a person presents their truth, you have to respect it as their truth, no matter how shambolic or authentic you find it, our opinion of that truth is almost irrelevant in the initial analysis, the first point of call is that this is a person’s truth. This is their honesty, their light, their guiding light, their navigation map in life, their paradigm, their view, the mirror that reflects back. What about if the truth is full of worms, decay, deceit, untruth, wrong assumptions, false conclusions, arrogance and every despicable thing? It remains their truth!
And that brings me to myself and my truth, my very own truth. I am forced to reflect and consider my own truths. How true are my own truths? How authentic? How clean are they? What truth have I held on to for dear life that are simply untrue. What falsehood have I erroneously labelled ‘truth’? This sent chills down my spin, how would I know when I am wrong, especially if in all sincerity I set out to be right and to do good, when the intentions are all noble and legitimate? How do I know if my gourmet meal is just a plate of crawling worms? How do I know if my truth is just delusion?
There is no other way, we must continuously shine the spotlight on ourselves. How true is our true? For if the light that dwell within us is darken, we are blind indeed. Our eye must be cleaned and checked regularly. The eye is the light of the body. The truth is the guiding light.
May our light forever shine bright and may our truth forever be true!
