Truth… is.

“It may be that you are looking for truth too far away from yourself. You are never separated from truth. Consider that truth is not something to be found outside yourself, but something that permeates every molecule of who you are. Think of truth as something knit into your innermost being.

Just for a moment consider that you are so close to and inseparable from truth that for all intents and purposes, you are truth. I know, it sounds a bit crazy, maybe even downright blasphemous. But consider this is only because you have been so deeply conditioned to believe that truth is a thing somewhere out there and separate from you. Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.

Truth is not the result of effort. Truth is not something you find at the end of some road. Truth is not a reward for being good. Truth is not a prize for those who are spiritual or intelligent.

Truth… is.

Truth is…

the way things are,

the way you are,

the way God is,

the way life is,

the way all things are.

Truth is experienced as…

a way of seeing… to see all things as they truly are

a way of perceiving… to perceive all things as they truly are

a way of being… to be all things as they truly are.

The real You already…

knows the truth,

perceives the truth,

sees the truth,

is the truth.

There is nothing left but for truth to condition your way of human being in this world. This is what there is for us to learn and take from the life of Jesus.”
