Finding Our Own Truth
Thursday, April 25, 2013
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Finding Our Own Truth
We must each discover our own truth.
It does not help us if those we love find their truth. They cannot give it to us. It does not help if someone we love knows a particular truth in our life. We must discover our truth for ourselves.
We must each discover and stand in our own light.
We often need to struggle, fail, and be confused and frustrated. That's how we break through our struggle; that's how we learn what is true and right for ourselves.
We can share information with others. Others can tell us what may predictably happen if we pursue a particular course. But it will not mean anything until we integrate the message and it becomes our truth, our discovery, and our knowledge.
There is no easy way to break through and find our truth.
But we can and will, if we want to.
We may want to make it easier. We may nervously run to friends, asking them to give us their truth or make our discovery easier. They cannot. Light will shed itself in its own time.
Each of us has our own share of truth, waiting to reveal itself to us. Each of us has our own share of the light, waiting for us to stand in it, to claim it as ours.
Encouragement helps. Support helps. A firm belief that each person has truth available - appropriate to each situation - is what will help.
Each experience, each frustration, each situation, has its own truth waiting to be revealed. Don't give up until you find it - for yourself.
We shall be guided into truth, if we are seeking it. We are not alone.
Today, I will search for my own truth, and I will allow others to do the same. I will place value on my vision and the vision of others. We are each on the journey, making our own discoveries - the ones that are right for us today.

My truth is delusional? Until it is processed by who?
This is not a snarky question or remark, I am interested in what you are saying
because I would like to get clear, for myself.
I have an appointment today and I will be thinking on this idea.
Thank you.

Hmm. I guess I don't see it that way, JenEss, although I understand your point. I think there is possibly an unbiased version of events but for each of us, what we see is colored by our perceptions and experiences. That is what makes it "our" truth. Even though it is our version of the truth, it is still valid for us. For example, what is right for you is probably not right for me, even though from a black and white perspective, there is a "right" and a "wrong."
That is how I see it, anyway.
