Truth and Freedom: The truth will set you free
The truth will set you free.
Let's say if I could read your mind,
Will I not be saying everything that sounds good? Definitely yes.
The only reason a person would say uncomfortable things is because for that person his or her truth matters more than the emotions or feelings of others.
Lies are pleasant when you hear them.
The lie is like honey but poisonous.
But the world wants to live it's LIE
And TRUTH becomes their enemy.
Because truth is something your belief dwells upon. It creates a state of chaos in your mind. And it's comfortable to let this chaos within you subside by choosing IGNORANCE.
My advice is to let them fight. Let that chaos grow bigger, stronger, violent...
Where the beliefs fight what's unknown.
And in that battle either your belief will win or chaos will RESOLVE into a whole new perspective that shapes the reality of your life.
But make sure that if it is TRUTH,
It shatters belief even if it temporarily leaves you EMPTY.
We fear EMPTINESS. That's human nature.
We fear "What if we let go and find no backup".
My question to you is "What if we let go and we need no backup"?
TRUTH resolves into FREEDOM.
And freedom is the essence of life.
Failing to accept the truth is putting handcuffs on your own hands and losing that opportunity to SEE with your new eyes that are wide open. Seeing through lies and deception.
BELIEF is the only way a person can be manipulated. BELIEF is the prison.
"I believe that someday I'll find the truth"
It's still a belief because the moment you give up on belief you find the TRUTH.
TRUTH first leads to Chaos
The war, the conflict, the denial.
TRUTH has its nature that it cannot be defeated. And so the chaos continues until the belief is shattered and truth prevails.
That's when CHAOS brings RESOLUTION.
RESOLUTION means acceptance of the TRUTH. The resolution is awakening.
The resolution makes life better as it FREES you. It makes you a free man. A thinking man. An intelligent man. A brave man. A man who breathes freedom in every essence of his or her life.
And if the TRUTH doesn't set you FREE,
IT IS NOT THE TRUTH.
Truth is never restrictive.
Truth is destructive though.
It destroys beliefs. It breaks boundaries.
It sets fire to your HEART and it might hurt
but It sets a new DIRECTION forward.
A man who frees himself from beliefs
Is a man who's FREE and ALIVE.
A man with a belief is IMPRISONED.
Imprisoned by Ignorance.
Imprisoned by Fear.
Imprisoned by Opinions.
A person who believes
Is a SHEEP among many other sheep,
That needs others to set the direction.
I wish you to not believe in me or anybody.
But if the moment arises,
Do not avoid the chaos.
You are an intelligent being
And it's in your core nature
To set the sail for yourself.
You do not need a GUIDE.
You can choose your DIRECTION.
You have your COMPASS that is your intelligence with you.
But as long as you continue to walk
With a blindfold on, and choosing ignorance,
How will it lead you to where you want to go?
It won't. It never will.
The possibility is that you do not know where you want to go, but your intelligence will guide you if you don't allow it to just sleep in the corner. Use your intelligence.
And the only way to use your intelligence and think critically is...
"Stop believing"
1. Stop believing the answers that the world is trying to give you.
2. ASK!!!! Ask questions. No question is blasphemous. Ask! Ask questions to yourself.
3. SEEK!! you have a question in your mind. Please ignite the SEEKER within you. A seeker not only listens to himself but also debates the reality he or she used to believe in. Let the DEBATE happen. Between what was unknown and what you thought was true. And do not stop the SEARCH for the truth. Please don't.
This is the only thing that sets apart a GENIUS or AWAKENED from common people.
The only difference is...
Are your eyes open to see the truth,
Or closed that you would settle with a lie.
Do not believe me,
Do not believe in anyone else,
You just need to OPEN YOUR EYES,
And you will see the TRUTH.
Because NATURE of the TRUTH is...
That it's NEVER HIDDEN.
It is always there right in front of you.
Only if you had the eyes to see.
In the end, If you feel LOST all I want you to know is:
No matter how lost you are, Truth will always find you.
