The truth has many faces

What you see is only ever yourself in different forms. You love and accept everything equally or dislike and reject certain things that reveal you do not yet love yourself fully. Hearing this, you may notice degrees of acceptance or resistance and think you have unanswered questions. How does it feel to know you always find what you seek but do not always accept it?  Watch how what you are living transforms before the senses.  Notice the opportunities that emerge in your life.

Consider the truth has many faces.  At any moment, you see the version of the truth you desire.  Until you see through illusion, you do not see things as they are, you see things as you are. As you begin to notice you do not always act in your best interests, you may begin to focus on particular life questions.  The truth according to whom? The best interests according to whom?

Notice why you actually want something. Identify it. Why would you separate from that which you want or tell yourself that you must struggle to get it? If you think you lack anything, its because you forget that the identity you create and reinforce is not real. Notice experience changes as you shift focus of attention from doubt to certainty.  What underlies it all?

As you journey into the heart, you return to innocence. True self is forever present.  Separation from the ultimate truth of who you are is impossible.  Any restlessness or discomfort you feel is an illusion you create to pinch off from what never leaves you. This is another wake up call.

"Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it." -Jewel

Very well spoken, Liara. It reminds me of the truth we tend to forget very often...

Hilary, appreciate your presence here. You always see the version of truth or reality that makes the most sense to you until you move outside the mind and observe other ways of seeing exist.

[Liara Covert]

Rizal, selective forgetting does not last forever. At least three ways exist to seeing; the personal, the impersonal and the all-inclusive. The mind sees everything in terms of opposites or duality, including truth and untruth. Unconditional love of the heart has no opposite. It is supra-personal. Look away from all the mind sees and you move beyond all directions.
