Who knows truth? The unthinking inexperienced do. Truth, which is innate in us all, gets veiled by education. Babies live in realization of the real, an illumination that we steal by teaching them our ignorance. Right from the onset, we are taught to ignore truth, and we do, and that is why nobody sees what is already inside us. Yet we are bathed by blissful truth in our nightly sleep, which is why we awaken refreshed, but so far beyond our waking comprehension it is, we do not remember it.
Look outside of yourself for truth and you will only get falsehood. Travel the earth and the ends of the universe if you want to. It will be of no avail. Truth exists within you, not in other people's thoughts. Truth does not exist even in your own thoughts. Our own thoughts are only replays of things we have been taught. Truth cannot be taught.
What are you teaching your children? It is wrong! The children should be teaching you before they have been corrupted by learning how to speak. Truth cannot be found in speech or writing. Any belief you follow will take you away from truth. Believe staunchly in a belief and you will be really out there, isolated from truth, taken away by a lie. All thoughts are a tangled web of illusion and lead astray. All children get along and play as one. As they get older boys and girls and races do not relate as well together. Older still and children do not relate to their parents. Building a mind builds separation.
You are lost in the messy impressions formed by every path you have ever gone down. Truth that was once a part of you is hidden in it, and that is why you do not know your real self, you do not know truth. They say all paths lead to the same place, but they also start from the same place. They start and end with you, and every turn you take turns to you. So why not stay right where you are? In you is the true TReasUrE that is infinite because there is no form to limit it. Dig through the dirt of deception and rediscover an endless kingdom of truth within you. An endless ocean of oneness whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is beyond anywhere.
You will find this truth when your mind is free from disturbances of discursive differentiating thoughts and judgments. Stillness of mind, intellect, and emotion. It is the NO WAY, Nay Way, No Mind, No Thought, Never Mind Nirvana, Anti-path to Truth.
Do not accept even a piece of mind, for peace of mind is a misnomer. Your mind makes things up to hide truth. Seldom is the mind satisfied with its imaginings for long, and if you start to believe its creations are real, it soon becomes the cause of much troubles. You need to leave your mind behind.
There is a myth of a tree of knowledge of good and evil that was partaken from, fruit leading to downfall. That tree is the mind itself, and we are consistently partaking of its addictive poison. As a result, we see good and evil everywhere in fighting conflict with each other, making for a paradise lost.
We are in the clutches of the mind and it does not want to let go of us. We have become so identified with the mind that we do not want to let go of it. In double bound slavery, we go where our mind master tells us to go and do what our master mind tells us to do. It tells us what is good and bad and right and wrong, but there is no such thing. Evil and its opposite do not exist.
You think, therefore you are in ego enclosed separation, perceiving only the darkness within your isolating borders of encasing thought, so that you bump into others rather than blend in with them. Spirit is pure, it has no thought, and sees through everything, penetrates through the unreality. Though you live in a glass house you cannot see outside of it from the middle at night unless you turn the light out inside, and though it is day you cannot see your reflection in a pond while you're splashing with waves. You are not your thoughts, so turn them off.
You are spirit and can penetrate if you meditate. Find the stillness in you, tune in. Let the stillness expand, quelling the rippling crippling thoughts of the mind, drop out of it. Drop out of the head and melt into the ocean of the heart. Let the false flow of the mind get consumed into the true flow of the heart.
We live in a culture of the head rather than the heart, a culture of doing rather than being, a culture of craving desire rather than serene satisfaction. Counter that, say NO WAY! Don't think. Feel what is beyond your material senses, consciousness touching consciousness. Feel the mellifluous sweet flow of love, or the spiritual essence that is the true you. Umm... Ahh... that is truth! The eyes have it. Become one smiling eye and you will see in all directions with no obstructions. No need to reach for the stars as you are awareness. All you need to do is open and the stars will come to you!
In the black pupil of your eye exists every possibility, and it looks the same in everyone. Zero is the most powerful number and it is also a non-number. It is nothing and it is void, but only because we have not seen what is there yet. Space is never empty, always full. A glass is never half empty, always full, and always more than half full. Like scrying on a black mirror, what is there can be anything and everything because consciousness, which is everywhere, is never empty. It is the full unconscious and we all share it as ours. The collective WE!
So do you know truth? How can you comprehend the limitless with its infinite possibilities without losing your identity and becoming that thing? All panoramas pass. Every thought is a lie. Every idea will die. Except in dreams, there is no who, what, when, where, how, or why. They are futile attempts to separate from the limitless. Thoughts, as well as we ourselves as separate selves, are fleeting. Be attached to them if you want, but will you be able to hold on to them forever? NO WAY!
