“The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when it’s open!”
Posted by Kagisho in Dare to be YouJun 15th, 2011 | no responsesOur motto. We try to be neutral in the information we put across – particularly with topics like “What is God?” (recently added to our list of Life Challenge resources) – in helping readers to better understand these topics. For “truth” is unique to the individual perspective. For example, from the scientist’s material view, the world looks very different than from the more subjective emotional, intellectual or intuitive points of view. To you and me sitting here, we are first and foremost individual personalities; but from an enlightened, spiritual viewpoint, there is no separation, and we are truly at One with All That Is, we are God. Two widely disparate views – but both are true!
In argument, the ego presents a view from one level and says it is right; in truth, all the views may be “right” in their own way. Beautiful and ugly, good and bad, are opinions but not essential truth; essential truth is simply the unconditional acceptance of what IS, as it is, without judgment.
And yet we need discernment in everyday life; we want a picture we find attractive on the wall, not an ugly one. Judgmental views are only a problem when they are ego based, to make self right and others wrong – in short, when they present a barrier to unconditional love.
So… we always have to be aware of the context, when we make proclamations about how things are. And “truth” is always something the individual needs to discover inside themselves – what is true for them at their current level of awareness. And be open to revise that view, when new opportunities for learning and expansion of awareness occur. With compassion and empathy, we will understand that truth for others may naturally differ from our own.
