IN SEARCH OF TRUTH
(Chapter 1)
A man was walking in search of TRUTH.
Some might have viewed his quest an aimless one, since he seemed to
meander here and there, stopping at times for great lengths, before
moving forward. They did so because they did not have the same teachers
and so failed to RECOGNISE the problem wasn’t that the quest was an
aimless one, but the problem was truly in how they viewed it. Thus, they
did not RE-EXAMINE themselves to the degree that would have helped them
REALISE the TRUTH themselves by REPEATING the process.
The TRUTH is, he had shared their
views. Not only from when he first began, but for what seemed like a
very long time from when thought he first started. He thought he knew so
much before he began, he didn’t really view the trip as going to be a
long one, let alone one that takes the rest of his life. He had first
viewed the search for TRUTH as a simple journey, and indeed it was, but
one of the first things he leaned to RECOGNISE, RE-EXAMINE and REALISE,
was that ‘simple’ doesn’t mean ‘easy’.
The TRUTH is, when he first began he
didn’t even know where to begin. The thing that had REALLY prompted the
journey to begin with was a single lie. A single lie that became the
straw that broke the camels back. When he RECOGNISED that one lie, he
had opened a floodgate of other lies from over the years, until he felt
he was drowning in lies.
The TRUTH is, he felt he was being
lied to by everyone. Governments lied to him, Religions lied to him,
Scientists and Experts lied to him, Friends and Family lied to him.
Everyone lied to him and he lied to them right back. But the lie that
tipped the scale in that moment, the one that pushed his head under the
water and left him gasping for the breathe of life, didn’t come from the
Governments, or the Religions or the Scientists, or the Experts.
The TRUTH is, he had become so
accepting of the fact they were lying to him about so many things, he
began to expect it about everything, almost without question. The why of
it always led back to fear and greed. Those were the building blocks of
Civilisations that used slavery under many guises, to build itself up
on the backs of others. Nimrods, all of them, but they didn’t tell him
the lie he RECOGNISED this time.
The TRUTH is, he was just as
expectant and accepting of the Scientists and Experts that used false
data as scientific facts, to create a false reality that supported the
building blocks of Civilisations, so they could be considered
“successful, credible and reputable”, instead of a “failure, crank and
loon”. No, the lie he RECOGNISED didn’t come from any of them either.
The TRUTH is, he was also just as
expectant and accepting of being lied to by Family and Friends. Not from
a sense of maliciousness nor malice on their part, for often they will
say it was because they were protecting him or didn’t want to hurt him,
not seeing the dis-service they are truly doing themselves and
him…maybe, he can handle the TRUTH. he simply has no ear for it yet.
Maybe they couldn’t handle simply telling it.
Even still, if TRUTH be told as it
was meant to, even had this one particular lie been told a thousand
times before, from every source he had ever encountered through all the
years of his life to that moment, it would never have had the same
impact upon RECOGNISING it, as it did in that moment. For in that moment
of RECOGNITION and RE-EXAMINATION he REALISED the True Source of
Betrayal, that had lead to the floodgates opening.
It was a lucky thing he followed
REPETITION in the Refinement Process because FULL REALISATION did not
come about during the first couple of passes. The True Source didn’t
wish to be revealed, so used clever wording to deflect from itself to
remain hidden. With each REPETITION however, another layer would peel
away as he RECOGNISED these new variations on the same theme. With each
RE-EXAMINATION he finally REALISED the True Source of ALL his betrayals
and lies within his ‘self’, came from himself.
He was the liar.
With that final REALISATION, a
question popped through…”What if she really did love him?” and then
his entire world came crashing down around him in that moment. He was
torn from within himself and forced to truly look at himself from a
perspective he had never seen before. One that slapped him across the
face with every betrayal he had ever committed, with every lie he had
ever told. One that left him curled in a fetal position on the floor
writhing in pain.
He had never felt pain like this
before. This wasn’t his pain that was coursing throughout him, though it
truly was, because this was the pain he had caused others. This was
EMPATHY. He couldn’t breathe. He had to breathe, he felt as if every
cell in his body was suffering. Breathe…Just Breathe…Let it go. Wave
upon wave, the suffering extending beyond just him now and no longer
restricted to just those he’s met along his path, but continuing along
all the degrees of separation.
It didn’t matter if the lies had
originated outside of himself or not, as HE had let them in and believed
them, and then gave them to someone else that did the same. Whether he
liked it or not, whether he believed it not, whether or not he wanted to
admit it, he was finally seeing things from TRUTH’s perspective and
there was no arguing about it.
As he progressed through the surface
feelings to the depth of his being, TRUTH continued to share wave upon
wave of feelings he had caused others, though as he went deeper the
feelings became stronger and more loving, refilling him with joy. He
also noticed there weren’t as many of these feelings which made him
REALISE he hadn’t been as loving as he believed.
He finally saw where the TRUE POWER
was and wasn’t. All these years, his beliefs ,opinions and perspectives,
never once changed the TRUTH, but in a fraction of a second, a mere
moment of seeing TRUTH, changed them all forever.
He was faced with a glass half full,
of the stuff he didn’t like. He clearly saw it had nothing to do with
the red pill or the blue pill, this was the medicine he had to take, and
even though he didn’t like it…at least it was only half full.
If you were to ask the man, this
would have been one of the most pivotal moments in his life. He was
finally AWARE of where to truly begin the search for TRUTH…Within his
‘Self’. Not that he felt he owned the TRUTH, that was not the REVELATION
that had ignited the inspiration of thoughts that came pouring forth.
No it was when he RECOGNISED each LIE was a FEAR hiding a TRUTH, that
made him REALISE he had never honestly begun his search yet, because he
was still lying to himself. After all, how can you honestly hope to find
something, you are not willing to search honestly for…and with that,
his EGO began to die.
The REVELATION itself, was that in
order to find the TRUTH, he would first have to find his TRUE SELF, that
he may then continue to seek honestly…and with that, his ID was
reborn and the fabric of reality began to take shape. He finally
understood FREE WILL was not attached to his day to day decisions, as
much as it was attached to his initial decision to HONESTLY seek the
TRUTH and see it through.
This experience had the added lesson
that taught him that in this HONEST pursuit of TRUTH, he had also taken a
few more steps down the path of WISDOM as well. For the ancients had
said; “Do not seek to know, seek to be wise.” and he finally understood
what that meant. Wisdom is not the ‘Accumulation of Knowledge’ as the
liars would have you believe so they can Lord their knowledge over those
they deprive it from.
In TRUTH, WISDOM is the proper
‘Application of Knowledge’, so truly one can know very little and still
be very wise, or think they know so much and still be fools.
