Did you know most, if not all, people believe that there is a concrete truth "out there" that can be experienced and known? As these believers go through life, they collect knowledge, memories and information from their interactions with reality. This personal collection of information is what these folks believe as the truth. Indeed, The Image is considered to be the truth for people all over the world.
What is truth? Is it a collection of facts and memories about reality? Of course not. Truth is quite independent of your recollections and beliefs about it.
What is truth? Is it to be found in the writings, minds and formulas of others? Of course not. Truth is not a concept. Truth is not reducible to a list of facts or formulas or a string of words. Truth cannot be captured or held or shared with others. The best one can do for you is to help tear down The Image of truth so that truth can finally be seen.
What is truth? Truth is reality and reality is truth. The two are one and the same. If something is "true" it is in agreement with reality. If something is "false" it is in disagreement with reality. Isn't this obvious?
Because truth is reality it cannot be known. Open your eyes and look at reality... you will immediately notice one fact: Reality is always changing. Reality is never the same twice. Indeed, truth is reality and reality is changing. This means that truth is changing. When you try to capture truth as knowledge, you cannot succeed. It's a fool's errand... a dog chasing its tail. It is quite impossible to know truth; for as soon as you have captured reality as knowledge, reality is different again -- the truth has changed again.
Seeing this aspect of truth and reality is liberating because it frees you from the illusion that you can ever know. Once you clearly see that you cannot know then you finally have the opportunity to learn and to grow. Like truth and reality, learning and growing are synonymous with change.
To learn you cannot know and in your ignorance comes the light of awareness -- you will no longer know but you will finally see. What you see will become your truth and that truth will always change. Admit your total ignorance of truth and you will have the opportunity to see truth.
To grow you must let go of what you believe. Your knowledge, conclusions and beliefs are barriers to growth. Your belief in The Image is what stops you from growing. You know and, because you know, you cannot grow. Stop resisting the drive of nature. Let go and let nature show you how to be what you cannot speak but are deeply aware of.
Do you want to see truth? If so, then open your eyes and see the ever-changing nature of reality. See fully the connection between reality and truth. See clearly how knowledge, belief, conclusions and The Image cannot ever be truth. See the futility of constructing formulas that describe truth. Throw away every conclusion you have about reality and get to the business of seeing reality as it is. You know, as long as you believe you know what reality is you will never see reality as it actually is.
If you do this then you will finally see that truth can be sensed but not known. Truth can be felt but not captured. Truth can be glimpsed but not understood. In this state of seeing you will drop all attempts at trying to tell other people the truth -- it is unspeakable and uncapturable. It is a task that is beyond all measure.
Do you want to see truth? If so, realize now that truth is an illusion that cannot be captured. Truth is a mirage that always eludes your attempts to catch it. With this realization, open your eyes to reality and you will see truth.
