A Little More Thoroughly...
Truth
is only something
that is relevant and beneficial to oneself and all others without
exception.
An opinion/belief may be truth or it may not be.
An
opinion/belief is quite often only relevant to the mind of
the individual, and not necessarily to all.
The truth applies
to all
without exception.
The truth is universal to all without
exception.
The
truth excludes NO ONE because it is relevant and beneficial to ALL.
The
truth is the answer to every single problem in the world.
The
truth is the answer to every single problem that ever has and ever will
exist.
The truth NEVER creates or perpetuates problems.
The
truth only solves, dissolves and removes problems.
That which
is positive and beneficial is truth. That which is negative and harmful
is false.
Truth may point out our errors, but it also solves
ALL of our life's problems.
Because of this, the truth is the
only thing that matters.
How is it possible that we already
know the truth when there are problems in our lives?
If we
were living the truth completely, there would be no problems whatsoever.
Not
knowing the truth or choosing to ignore it is the
ONLY reason for all of mankind's problems and suffering.
The
truth solves ALL of our life's problems, if we let it, and allow it to.
Only
the truth shall set you free.
The truth will always
be the truth, despite our opinions.
The truth is still the
truth even if it is not understood.
The truth is still the
truth even if we are not able to accept it.
The truth is still
the truth even if we choose to ignore or reject it.
The truth
doesn't need the approval of the human ego in order to be truth.
The
truth needs nothing to back it up.
The truth is
self-sustaining.
The truth stands on its own.
There
is Absolute Truth and then there are different levels of truth "below"
that.
There are various levels of truth.
Falsehood is
not the opposite of truth, it's merely a lack or absence of truth.
(like cold is the absence of warmth)
Just as there are
different levels of truth, there are different levels of falsehood as
well. (like degrees on a thermometer)
The words of truth are
always paradoxical because there are different levels of truth.
What
is "truth" at one
level is not necessarily "truth" at other levels.
Higher
levels of truth often render lower ones irrelevant and obsolete.
What
is "truth" at one level often becomes replaced by the next higher level.
Absolute
Truth already is what it is.
Absolute Truth already exists.
Absolute
Truth is never created. It is only discovered, revealed, or realized.
Because
Absolute Truth already is what it is. It cannot be created by our minds.
Absolute
Truth is changeless. It never changes.
There are only
different ways of describing the exact same truth.
Only that
which is relevant is subject to change.
The truth
already is what it is, despite our CURRENT ability to understand it.
The
truth already is what it is whether or not we choose to believe it.
The
truth has nothing to do with "right" or "wrong".
The truth has
nothing to do with "good", "bad", "better" or "worse".
Truth
has nothing to do with egotistical judgements, which are the
"opposite" of acceptance and forgiveness.
Everything
you believe, is the truth, but only to you, and only because you
believe it's the truth. That's your Free Will.
Our so-called
"truth" can be whatever we CHOOSE for it to be, but is it ACTUALLY
beneficial to you and your life?
The real truth has to do with
what is ACTUALLY beneficial and/or harmful.
Does your "truth"
have a beneficial or harmful effect on those you speak to and spread
your "truth" to?
Is your way of being beneficial or harmful to
those around you, and to the rest of the world?
The real truth
has nothing to do with opinions and beliefs that are only relevant to
the mind of the individual.
The truth replaces all
likes and
dislikes (opinions), at which point only the truth is preferred,
whatever it may be.
The truth is only for those who
WANT it.
The truth is only for those who are open to it.
The
truth is accessible to ALL that have an open mind to receive it.
The
truth is for all who take the time and effort to seek it out.
The
truth is 100% free for all who want it.
The truth reveals
ITSELF when we stop thinking we already know it.
When we think
we already know the truth, we close ourselves off to what it truly is.
When
we think we already know the truth, we close ourselves off to the next
higher level of truth.
We're blind to the truth because we're
too involved with our individual "truth".
If we let go of the
opinions and beliefs, truth will reveal ITSELF without any kind of
searching for it.
Paradoxically, the words "I don't know" are
the way to knowing the truth.
The truth is not to be
learned.
The truth is extremely simple.
The truth is
REALIZED when everything has been un-learned and let go of.
Truth can only be verified
FIRSTHAND by BEING the truth.
Understanding
what the truth is intellectually means nothing if the individual is not
going to BE it.
The truth is not to be known intellectually by
only knowing ABOUT the truth. (reading or having something "proven" to
you)
In order for something to be Absolute Truth, it
must not be susceptible to limitations.
If something is
susceptible to limitations and change, then it is not Absolute.
In
order for something to be unlimited, it must be whole, complete and
perfect.
In order for something to be unlimited, whole,
complete and perfect, it must be INFINITELY EVERYTHING.
If
something is not Absolutely Everything, then it is limited and
incomplete.
Absolute Truth is INFINITELY
EVERYTHING, unlimited, whole, complete and perfect beyond
words and mental concepts.
The concepts of "you",
"me", "here", "there", "this" and "that" are limitations because they
are not Infinitely Everything.
The concepts of "you", "me",
"here", "there", "this" and "that" are not Absolute Truth.
Opinions, beliefs, concepts,
thoughts and thinking keep
us from realizing we are ALREADY the Truth, which is Everything.
If
we fully realize we ARE Everything, then naturally we can know
everything.
Truth is wisdom. Truth is knowing. Truth is a way
of being.
The Truth with a capital "T" is beyond the mind and
the "normal" thinking process.
The Truth with a capital "T" is
beyond the limitations of the physical senses.
The Truth is
within "you". "You" are also within the Truth. All that exists IS the
Truth.
Hence the saying "the truth is within", but this is an
incomplete truth.
EVERYTHING (Existence) is the Truth, which
is "you", which means there is no individual "you".
There is
no "this" and "that" or "here" and "there" or "inner" and "outer".
There
is no
individual
ANYTHING when All is One.
Without
our minds
interfering, everything just IS. Nothing more, nothing less.
At
the highest level of truth everything just IS.
The ONLY
Absolute Truth is that everything just Is.
All other truths
are mere concepts to help convey with words, the nature of that "Is".
Just
like Truth, Love is also a way of being. The nature of that "Is", is
Love.
Love/selflessness is also the answer to every problem in
the world.
Truth and Love are the exact same thing.
Truth
has to do with wisdom. Love has to do with selflessness.
But
both Love and Truth are the answer to every single problem that exists,
so there is no difference in the two.
Love and Truth are ONE
and the SAME.
Truth is Love. Love is Truth.
Absolute
Truth is beyond all shape, form, ideas, concepts, mentations,
thinking
and thoughts.
Absolute Truth is beyond any kind of description
with words, which are limited concepts describing other
limited concepts.
Absolute Truth is beyond all
concepts, including the concept of "Is".
Absolute Truth is
indescribable.
Absolute Truth reveals ITSELF when we stop
thinking and conceptualizing altogether.
Absolute Truth is
only to be experienced firsthand, and not to be talked about.
Love
just IS. Truth just IS. Everything just IS, which is "I".
Realize
this... but not with words and concepts.
Just allow It.
