The value of truth.

[Silent Watcher]

While writing another post, I remembered something I've been trying to work out the wording for for quite some time now. It was an instinctive understanding until I read through the twelfth Insight, at which point it started to unfold where I could grasp it consciously.

The truth is seen by many of us, if not all, as a luxury. Precious to behold in others, sometimes dangerous to display in oneself - even to oneself - we hide it away, bend thoughts and probing queries around it, and use it as we would a commodity. The talented blending of truth and deceit is the river on which many of us, and those who have lived before us, have flown through life upon.

It's also set the perfect stage for the metaphorical flip our world needs to accomplish in the next few years to take the most advantage of the changes to come.

Truth is, by our conditioning, a luxury; by our nature, it is a necessity. Things hidden may never surface; things obscured may never be cleared away. Events have a way of sweeping us beyond our places of comfort, away from our plans and out of our molds. Change could potentially take the chance to say what needs to be said from you in the blink of an eye.

Truth is a necessity, for truth is what enables us to move into the future with our connections intact. Our connections pave the path for the acceleration of our transformative cycles; they allow us to draw on fresh information, to cut out the rigamarole of useless repetition and move into uncharted territory rather than waiting to be shunted. Truth, to ourselves - and on a broader perspective, to others - is our means of moving beyond the crucible of Karma, which has far outlived its time and purpose.

Truth's origin is found not in love, which surely comes as we develop a greater understanding of it, but definitely in the heart. To be completely truthful to others, one must first become wholly truthful in themself; this is not to say the effort should not be made, but rather that those influences coming from warped self-understanding may cause disjunction in what we pass on to others.

The time of lies and deception has come and gone, its purpose served, its mission done. Now is the time to take the initiative, to use the stage we have so carefully set for ourselves... and change the world as we know it.

That being said, any one truth is not necessarily wrong, and the process of understanding as a collective may take a good deal of time. Due to the nature of things - and the holes in our scientific/spiritual understanding (two of the three essential pillars of true science) - conflicting concepts can exist without necessarily clashing.

But so long as each of us can be completely truthful in their dealings win one other - conceding when we know we are wrong, or cannot respond, not pushing into half-truths and uncertain facts when we feel we are cornered - we will eventually come to a more comprehensive understanding of the realms we live in. As each individual religious or spiritual belief holds a grain of truth no matter the degree of mythology surrounding its core, so too does each individual life carry information essential to us all.

Every individual has something to say, something the rest of us needs to know, and the more clearly we each can present the truth, the faster that knowledge will accumulate in each and every one of us. A cascade effect will begin as the information collected by each of us rapidly begins coming together, and larger revelations will form as a result.

This is the quickening of being we aim to achieve, the ultimate result of our actions if we are truthful. If we can bring about even a fraction of the total resonance we can achieve with this method, I guarantee you... the world will change dramatically, with a speed that will take your breath away.

Be true to yourself, and by extension to others.

'Be true to yourself and by extension to others',,,I like that wording

I cannot be true to myself if ....
I don't know myself

If i can't be true to myself
because
I don't know who I am
then
I can't be honest with you

So really...it's all about me
If I find myself truly
I will give out honest feedback to others
Others will then exercise their free will when they respond to me

If I am honest
everything else will....'come out in the wash'

In accepting, and heeding, the call - the need - to be true to oneself, we each as individuals become more capable of being truthful to ourselves throughout the myriad levels of sentient awareness we experience. The need allows us to be more whole; to know oneself is more than simply to understand the flaws and characteristics of our living conditioning. It is a process that, once set in motion, opens us to ourselves; explanation of this is difficult without letting my personal belief bias it, because my personal belief very much defines how I experience it. But suffice to say that in being true to oneself - in knowing oneself without denial, modesty, arrogance or pride clouding perception - one becomes more aware of their nature, and through that, the course their future may take - as well as far greater insight into the past and, more importantly, into the present moment.

In knowing yourself, you admit your readiness to explore the unknown within, the ever-expanding abyss which houses you, your memories, and all of your potential.
