Aligned with the truth

Please note: This post is advanced level.

A truth seeker can’t lie.

What a truth seeker can do is hide the entire truth. Tell the appropriate socially acceptable part but leave out the messy trouble causing part.

This will always cause suffering. Any truth or reality that is denied will cause pain. It is an energy that must be released. It is not meant to be held indefinitely.

It is the responsibility of the other person to deal with the fall out of their behaviors and actions, not yours.

Often you must thrust this responsibility back onto the individual as the ego is very quick to disown all inappropriate behaviours as being due to external factors.

Who are you to hide the truth? Who are you to try and control the situation, to ‘handle’ what your mind has judged as being right or wrong?

How is this helping?… Let the universe sort it out.

Actions have consequences and we must be aligned with this law to be happy. How is the other person supposed to learn anything if proper feedback is not provided by you? They will very likely continue with the behaviours and unconscious patterns until someone shares the information with them.

A more conscious individual can provide this information. A truth seeker is highly conscious so more opportunities will arise. In fact some individuals might naturally be drawn directly into your life ONLY so that they can reveal the truth to them.

Because you can sustain the deeper truth and offer them clarity.

If they are asking you for help, provide it to them but be kind to yourself at the same time.

You will find it freeing to not have to decide what part of the truth you ‘think’ is appropriate, what part you ‘think’ they can handle and what part you ‘think’ they can’t.

It is YOU who can’t handle it. It is YOU who is worried, that something will be lost if you reveal the entire situation. YOU fear the consequences.

In reality, it is the ego afraid of releasing into the storm. BUT the ego is the storm.

Ahhhh, now you see the game.

Release into the unknown, understanding why.

This will drop the ego and bring increased strength and happiness into your life.

Don’t you want to be happy?

So please ‘step in’. Step into the whole truth and see how it changes things. Allow yourself to be changed by a yet uncertain future. And give more credit to these individuals crossing your path to be able to hear the truth and move forward on their journey towards happiness and well being.

We are ALL looking to be free.

The truth will always protect you because it’s balanced. It is when you limit the truth, revealing only socially acceptable bits and pieces, when internal suffering occurs.

You must trust the truth and understand that both side of the blade are equally important. One cuts you and one cuts them.

The skill at which you use the blade is what you cultivate through consciousness. With respect to the truth, lean towards applying it with surgical precision as opposed to simply hacking something off with it.

Path of the Truth Seeker

It is a misnomer to think that the path of the truth seeker is to seek. It is not. The path of the truth seeker is to develop all the faculties of himself/herself necessary to support the realization of greater truths.

It is a training system of sorts much like training for a pentathlon in which their are  five separate events:  1) Mental Training,  2) Emotional Comfort / Expression, 3) Physical Grounding / Resiliency, 4) Spiritual Understanding.

The fifth event is that of INTEGRATION, a sort of alchemy in which we consciously bring everything together to become a complete and whole, spiritual person; a human being who is here to experience and enjoy the fullness of life, and to create love and abundance in the world.

This love and abundance begins with ourselves.

 

Empty to Full

To understand the truth seeker stage is very simple. You are here to empty your cup. To remove every belief, every thought, every past judgment that prevents you from fully experiencing life.

The universe is not against you, it is not trying to bring you suffering or pain. It is simply the process your soul has chosen to lose all that is holding you back from fully experiencing who you are.

Only once your cup is empty can you then truly fill it up until it brims with delight.

Only once it’s empty can you see the gift that you are.

You yourself can feel how much is available to you.

Your soul knows what is there…

So it’s simple. You are emptying your cup so that you can then fill it up completely with life.

 

The Cup of Truth

There are many truth seekers in the world, people searching and seeking truth. For some people the question arises: “When can I stop seeking… When am I done?” though usually the question is phrased as “WHEN AM I DONE?!!!!”

The truth seeker path is extremely difficult for it is firstly an individual path. Regardless if you are in a relationship or not, you will experience extreme feelings of isolation and loneliness.

I have spoken with many truth seekers who have been single for quite some time despite their best efforts, these are people who are going through the process of purifying their cup of water.

I have also spoken with many truth seekers in relationships. They have a mind that is very independent and they think very uniquely. Both paths are similar though individual truth seekers will thrive (meaning grow) better in one environment compared to the other.

When we are born we are undefended. We are overly trusting to survive on Earth. We are given a cup of pure water. Over time other people and experiences put things in our cup, mud, toxins, low self-esteem.

Yes we are overly trusting when we first start but why wouldn’t we be? In spirit we are all one and our cups are all full.

But as we live the human life we have different experiences, one happens when people become jealous of the purity of our cup of water. They want to drink from it, they want to possess it. They want to taste its innocence to feel pure once again. (This in my professional experience is one of the reasons we still see a lot of childhood sexual abuse in our culture. An adult’s cup has become so dirty, not necessary a fault of his or her own but from their childhood circumstances etc. that they’ll abuse a child to feel his or her innocence for themselves so that they can feel pure again. This obviously does not work.)

We also just have normal human experiences and so our cup gets dirty. If you’re walking through the country on a dirt road, chances are some dirt and dust is going to get into your cup. This happens..

At some level the truth seeker knows and more importantly feels (is aware) that their cup of truth has become tainted. The cup becoming tainted is part of the process. You’ve tasted pure truth and pure being but until you’ve tasted the tainted water you could never truly appreciated its purity. This is why we are here, to learn, live and appreciate what we have always had. This is why the human experience is so highly valued.

After your cup has become tainted with mud, beliefs and defense mechanisms the next step is to begin to remove these things. Through walking a path of integrity, following your heart, meditating, going into nature, doing yoga, playing music, all these methods and many more are all about getting back to your essential purity.

As you arrive there you then begin to walk around the Earth with a golden chalice of water.

Not only does it taste great but what you will also find is that other people are naturally drawn to you. Your cup has become a template to show others what truth and purity are because everyone here is also searching to purify their cup of water.

The truth seeker stage is the most difficult because you feel the most alone and the most uncertain. You’re creating truth from uncertainly. This is never comfortable. The shift to the next phase is to move from truth to trust. Practice trusting yourself, trusting what you’re thinking and feeling. This is truly ‘trusting the universe’. Not as a mind concept but of you being an extension of what you can personally feel.

In the trust stage you begin to share your cup with others and yourself. It tastes so good so appreciate what you have done.

Another wonderful part of this stage is the ability to taste the cups of others. For all the truth seekers looking for a solid long-lasting relationship it is in this stage where you will finally meet someone. Not only will you strongly desire to share your cup of truth with your lover and also find it comes very easy but you will also get to taste his/her cup of truth as well. What a sweet gift this is! To share and taste the cup of truth gained from your partner’s unique life experience. What a joyful experience this is.

The truth seeker moves from: innocent purity –> distrust and uncertainty as a result of experiencing pain –> isolation –> search for individual truth –> process of purification of their cup –> personal clarity and truth–> trust of the self and experiential knowledge of being part of the universe –> true love and happiness –> pure joy

So for people who ask me “When am I done seeking?”. The answer is soon or eventually. If it is solely your mind becoming frustrated by things not working out the way you ‘think’ they should you might still be purifying. If on the other hand you just feel that you are done and have learned what you needed to learn than you are probably ready to move on. In both cases begin to trust yourself more. And play with both, the path is never linear.

Begin trusting what you feel and following it. Begin accepting and trusting what you think and not judging it or judging yourself. For the crazy racing mind, just accept that it is a necessary part of your brain needing to fire. It might not mean much. Very quickly you’ll find that your mind slows down. Very quickly you’ll find you feel much more connected with yourself and all things.

You’re beginning to trust and love yourself.
