On the Truth

What is Truth?

What does it mean to "tell the truth"?

Honesty is a knowingness, firmament beneath your feet. It is a 'ringing' in the heart. It is a feeling of absoluteness and unwavering standing on its own, unabated.

Truth and honesty are inherently linked. Truth being the Subject while honesty is more the context. You know truth, you speak with honesty. There is no need to hide beneath layers or symbols, no need for worry or misunderstanding. For any wrinkle can be easily smoothed out with a gentle hand and warm compress.

We speak about truth because it is important that we are able to find this within ourselves. It is a thick skin of sorts in that you build up the trust within yourself so that even when the storm may come to rattle you, that pillar of truth and knowingness within tethers you anywhere.

There is a place inside your heart so massive, so solid that nothing will ever rock it. We can never just tell you, you must find your own way. This is key. No one can tell you what is Truth for you. No one. Only you. You are.

So many people want to tell you and think they have all the answers. Perhaps they do and it is the truth for them but it doesn't have to be the truth for you. To thine self be true.

It is time that we not fear our own truth or rest upon her laurels, but stand with her openly and proud for we have found our strength again, we have found ourselves at the root of it, we have faced the ugly thing in the eye and seen it for what it truly is, our center. So let whatever it is that comes from your center shine. Let it radiate from within.

Once you have accepted the light of truth into your life, the falsities begin to peel away and the colors of the world can be seen with new eyes; with clarity. You can begin to pull and peek and poke around the world with a renewed sense of joy and love.

Some people have tried very hard to create truths for themselves, some have been more or less successful. Some may ignore their truth entirely and rely on the word or deeds of others to find their truth.

I imagine my truth to be a great lion. It stands to my side ready to stamp out lies, armed with ferocity and grace. The lion is strong minded and centered. It can call upon the pack for assistance but also relishes in conquering its prey solo. Truth is mighty and strong, an able match for any opponent.

There must be the balance of grace and delicate use of the lions force. Love being the ultimate equalizer allows the adept to use the power and fierce nature of the lion with the love and unity of all things and one of the first great truths of all creation.
