9 Ways to get closer to Truth

Many people are seeking threir version of the truth.  The common belief is that the truth cannot be where you are or related to what you think you are doing. Yet the Truth is widely sought as a pointer to peace of mind, the end of restlessness and it cannot be explained in words.  In this way, its easier to say what the truth is not.  Reflecvt on these 9 ways to get closer to the Truth:

1. Intuit the truth is not based on beliefs

A group of people can agree and form a conspiracy based on false beliefs where they all agree to tell the same false story, but it does not make their assumption true.

2. Realize the Truth does not have to be uplifting

A sense of adversity, trauma or tragedy can also be valid.

3. Accept the Truth is not necessarily based on views of majority

Fifty-one percent or more of a group can be brainwashed, conditioned to reach a wrong conclusion.

 4. Grasp the Truth cannot be understood in the mind

A lengthy, detailed presentation can still result in a false conclusion.

 5. Recognize the Truth is not defined by intention

Intentions are expressions of the mind and can be wrong.

6. Sense that Truth is not how we know

Truth is not an opinion but a knowing of what we feel.

7. Get that Truth is not simply a possibility

Truth is not something to contemplate. Its felt beyond shadow of a doubt

8. Discern the Truth is not externally- provable

A truth can be privately known (an internal revelation that cannot be shared in words)

 9. Truth is not something that changes  

Lies can appear static but they are still lies and not the truth.

See through your questions

Every question you ask beckons you to read between the lines. Discern the lies you tell yourself. Notice that when you ask how to do something, you assume the knowing or solution is outside, you assume things are not already working themselves out. Why does the urge arise to look? Do not doubt yourself but doubt what you come to believe.

Be that which trusts the clarity of the heart. To know you dream this existence is to realize you are already awake. To be aware of a habit is to move beyond it so that unconscious pattern is broken. Every move you make, every step you take, something is watching and loving you throughout every choice and judgment. That which cannot be named has silent power. It knows transparency and has nothing to prove.

"No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious."
-George Bernard Shaw
