Truth has no ideology, no dogma, it is not dependent on you or your beliefs. Nor is it the exclusive possession of one or any religion. Truth just is. When we try to confine truth to a specific dogma, say to a religion, the vastness and universality of truth is degraded and pigeon holed, reduced from its infinite scope to the microscopic view of one’s interpretation, viewed from within the box of the limited perspective of the human mind. Truth then is interpreted from the perspective of the Christian mind, the Hindu mind, the Muslim mind, the Jewish mind, the Agnostic mind, the Communist mind, the Fascist mind, the Conservative mind, the rebellious mind, the infantile mind, the intellectual mind, the pot-smoker mind, the alcoholic mind, the lover’s mind, the hater’s mind, the businessman mind, the beggar’s mind, the jealous mind, the angry mind, and so on. So many minds! So many opinions of what truth is! Again, truth is NOT dependent on you. It is not an opinion. When you take “you” out of the equation – that is, the mind that has been colored by society, education, parents, religion – truth remains. Truthwas\u00a0before you and will remain after your body has disappeared.<\/p>\n

But what does this have to do with life? Life\u00a0IS\u00a0truth. It is the opportunity to experience truth. When we live in truth we live in harmony with existence.<\/p>\n

The world when perceived through the mind is nothing more than comparisons, opinions, and labels. You see a flower, but do you\u00a0experience\u00a0the flower? No, you “see” the flower and the mind creates a barrier and says “This is a rose. It is red. It is a lovely rose. I like it.” This is how primitive the mind is! The scientific mind will even dissect the flower all the way down to its DNA. Even the poet\u00a0who uses eloquent prose to describe the rose is still helpless to capture its beauty, its essence. The beuty of poetry is that it can be used as a device to move you out of the mind and closer to the heart.\u00a0The heart of a poet is closer to God than the mind of the scientist. Even the word God is a poetic device to capture something indescribable.<\/p>\n

You may have experienced moments where looking upon a magnificent vista you are overwhelmed and no words can describe the feeling. Or those sacred moments when in the arms of your beloved time stands still. THIS is truth. This is existential. This is the surrender of the mind to the heart. This is experiencing the truth and benediction of reality: that wonder surrounds us everywhere. And this is why the greatest wonder of all – LOVE – can never be described.<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
