The inescapable inevitability of the truth cannot be avoided forever. The true power of the truth comes from the simple fact that it is what it is. What is true remains forever true and no amount of obfuscation or avoidance or other sort of manipulation of it will ever undo it. The truth is reality and anything other than it exists only in our minds as a mental fabrication, a hallucination via which we divorce ourselves from the real.
When we as individuals or as a society embrace truth, no matter how hard doing so might be, we come closer together. By speaking the truth we cast back the shadows of doubt and deception that cloud our comprehensions of what is really going on with our lives. There is no greater strength than the complete surrender to and acceptance of the truth as we know it, and as we bring it to others so that they too may know. As human beings we are all inherently linked to each other, we are all tied together in the struggle of life... the struggle of survival. As human beings we are all given the perception of just a miniscule slice of the entire experience of reality. We are gifted with the ability to communicate and to inform, to share and to enlighten each other with our perceptions of our shared reality. In my opinion we are obligated to each other to be honest and open with our thoughts, because the inescapable truth of the matter is that the thoughts we have are not OUR thoughts. Our ego simply believes they are. The thoughts we have are the manifest perception of the mechanism of life and that mechanism is shared and experienced by everyone.
I am honestly coming to believe that no matter what, the truth is absolute and in order for society to be whole and healthy, it must be told. So often we get caught up in our lives like they are scripts to a movie that we are writing. We get caught up in our desires and wants and our little games that we play to make those things happen. With withhold our thoughts from each other. We fail to fully inform or to freely speak our minds out of fear that doing so will some how jeopordize what we are working toward. By doing so, by focusing so fully on ourselves and failing to share ourselves fully, openly and honestly, we move further away from the root of existance. A healthy person believes that things will be alright. A healthy person embraces reality for what it is and takes what comes.
Some people talk about getting closer to God. Others talk about letting the light shine. If God truly is all around us and part of each of us, then the truth is that we are one with God when we talk about it. If letting light shine clears the mind, then the truth is the light which dispells all of the darkness and clouds that obscures our perception of reality. The most active battleground in the fight for truth exists within each of us. The battleground is within our minds. Every second of every day we are faced with what is right in front of it. We are confronted with our perceptions of it. Do we accept it as it is, or do we allow our mind to attempt to make sense of it, to mold it and put it in the context of something else? The mechanism of life and death exists right there, balanced upon the pintip of perception. Do you accept, or do you ponder? Acceptance is freedom. The truth is liberating.
