Recognising the truth

Truth, honesty, integrity. To recognize the truth, you must first understand it. And as we will explain it, you'll understand that it is hard to grasp. Truth refers to a state of mind, while honesty refers to the communication of facts. Integrity refers to respect of self.

Truth, the philosophical truth, is beyond the physical reality of facts. It is the absolute expression of what IS, both at a spiritual and human level. It a place without doubt, without darkness, where there is no communication between two parties, but rather a completeness, a communion. Recognizing the truth has nothing to do with affirming actual facts, confirming physical events. It is the recognition that we are "all", that we are everything, that we ARE.

Down to earth, recognizing truth means that we accept every possible aspect of the human existence as a part of us, as a possibility, not necessarily as an actual fact. You must not judge what is truth. If you can say to yourself "I am a liar, I am egocentric", then you are in truth. It does not mean that you lied, right now, about a particular subject, but that you recognize the truth. If you lied only once in your lifetime, you are a liar. You must also be able to accept that you are honest, since you told the truth at least once in your lifetime. If you lacked charity and goodness at least once in your lifetime, you are egocentric. Of course, you are also charitable and kind if you helped out someone for free at least once. Without actually hurting anyone, can you recognize that "I am a killer". Again, do not judge truth. Truth is everything.

If someone ask you if you just told the truth, don't answer "I am a liar" if you did not lie. Truth has nothing to do with what others perceive of you. In truth, we both know that you are a liar, and it only concern your personal open mindedness towards your own acceptance of self as a hole. In the same line of thought, we also know you are honest. To answer someone with honesty, if you told the truth or lied, concern your integrity and does not mean you should tell the truth, but rather respect yourself. Usually, telling the truth is encouraged.

With each truth follows a manifestation in each plane of existence. A truth brings up a thought, a truth brings up an emotion. It might motivate action, but we will look at the emotional aspect for now. With a calm deep breath, remember that you are a thief, and feel what emotion it awakens. Recall from you past events where you stole things, time or space. Take you time to think about it, and feel the emotion rising up. Don't go playing a victim game here because this kind of practice will inevitably bring up emotions of guilt. However, don't think you are invulnerable to stealing. Recognize the truth and feel what you are.

Once you felt, once you are aware and conscious, forgive yourself and admit that you are a thief. There is a space that was liberated within you when the guild smoothly went out as you breath. After taking a few minutes to free it, fill this space with joy and compassion, fruit of forgiveness. This will not change that you are a thief, but fill the hole where guilt took place before. You are what you are, recognize the truth.

If you react strongly towards this practice, then you need to develop humility and open mindedness. Smoothen your heart and accept all that you can possibly be. Expand the limits of your perception of self. The stronger you react to a truth about yourself, the deeper you are in bullshitting yourself away from truth. You cannot be complete while you flee emotions deep with yourself. You cannot go further without accepting the truth that you are everything.

After you finish one step of the process, take time to remember that you are honest, kind, charitable, happy, young, relaxed, joyful. If you find it difficult to accept your positive truth after this exercise, you are playing a game of "victim" (O, poor you). Be humble and accept you virtuous beauty, without transforming this acceptance into vanity.

Do the same with lying, being arrogant, hypocrite, aggressive, pretentious, egocentric,…

1- Think about a truth
2- Callback clear memories or faded impressions from the past
3- Feel the emotion, breath the emotion
4- Forgive yourself with compassion
5- Uplift yourself with your beautiful truth

Repeat this experience often, so that you will deepen your sensibility to perceiving the truth, rather that perceiving the simple facts of coincidental events of life. With time, you not perceive good and evil, beauty and ugliness, but simple consecutive experiences of life. Be happy because you live. You are not great because of what you did, or bad because of what you did. You are great because you live.

The goal is to be conscious. Be aware, focussed, honest with yourself, and recognize the truth. Forgive yourself your mistakes, since you are here to experiment. You can be sorry for a while, then you have to take command of your emotional life and be happy, while still being aware of the depths of your human experience.
