Healing The Self Through Truth
15/10/08 21:56
The beautiful thing about truth is that it always
lead to a deeper truth. Sometimes truth is ugly. When
we finally confront our spouses with truth, our
truth, it may hurt. When we speak up to our parents,
or our siblings and we finally tell them what we
really feel, often the relationships change.
Sometimes the relationships change for the better.
Sometimes the relationships fall apart. Sometimes the
relationships have to go away for awhile, but always
deeper truth is found.
Fear is something we are not told to feel. Rather, fear is a feeling we are taught to believe in. If our caretakers never dealt with their feelings, then they inadvertently taught us to fear truth. When a child is denied the right to express his/her feelings, that child is taught to fear them instead.
Confronting fear is a difficult task. The difficulty however exists purely in the mind. Confronting fear is simply allowing the psyche to see its thoughts. Fear is like the boogie man that we think lives under our bed. It really is nothing to fear, because it is not real. Fear is an illusion. Fear is a sense that urges us to not look at what we should. We do not look, because we have been programmed to not face our feelings head on. Dysfunctional families exist with boogie men not only under the bed, but at the dinner table too. Dysfunctional minds are unaware they fear something that is illogical. It is illogical to fear your truth.
Had we been taught to accept what we feel, whether we felt good, sad, angry, happy, or depressed, our caretakers would not have sent the message that truth was to be feared. Life would have been a crayon box full, of an array of feelings, none of which we would have feared. If we felt sad, we would have been taught to accept, feel, deal and heal that situation fully. We would have been taught to move through situations rather than get stuck in them, or remnants of them.
Feelings don't kill us, although some of us believe they will. The alcoholic who refuses to accept he has an issue, has been taught to deny his truth. The drug addicted mother who can not function without her pain killers, can not see herself. She has been taught to deny what she feels, and thus chooses to numb her pain rather than risk feeling what she has been taught to fear. Fear can grip the hearts of gladiators. It can warp the mind of the seemingly strongest humans alive. It is a sense that is built into us through constant conditioning. When dad ignores mom, he teaches us to not tell the truth. It teaches us to instead, to run away, pretend things aren't that bad, and to deny our inner self. Parents were our first teachers. As adults it is up to us to relearn and to reprogram our minds.
The miraculous thing about truth is, that eventually, if you hang in there long enough you will discover the universal truth. Beyond the layers of your conditioned fear, aggression, pessimism, or whatever other programmed reactions you have, lies beauty and only light. You at your core were designed from divinity. Because each of us was born to an imperfect world that has been taught for generations to fear, we suffered. The glorious truth is that as human minds evolve further, we are given the opportunity to take part in the awakening. The world is awakening, one mind at a time, and eventually human consciousness will reach a higher level of awareness. If you are reading this site, you are already a part of this truth, and I am glad.
Universal truth is that at your core, before the flawed world taught you to believe in illusions, you were perfect. The world is full of disillusioned minds. Listen to the way people complain and spread their realities with you. You will be surprised to note that their are so many people who see themselves as victims. Constantly we hear people complain rather than rejoice in their universal and divine truth. Misery exists because we have been taught to believe complaining rather than changing our situations is the way to go. It must stop. Minds must not allow themselves to continually get stuck on that lower level of consciousness. We always have a choice to think higher. We were simply never taught how to raise our level of awareness, until now.
So many of us live in fear, but so few of us challenge that illusion. What is fear, besides a conditioned thought response. The agoraphobic who fears leaving the house, is afraid of what exactly? A person who does not leave the house will use language like, "I can't leave the house." That is a lie. Of course she can leave the house. She is not cemented to her homes foundation. The language in her head is a lie. It is an illusion. Because this mind has been taught that the world is a scary place, it believes it is. How sad, because this mind believes in something that is a lie, and unless the mind is freed and taught to believe in its own ability to think higher, it may never.
So many of us grew around people who never seemed happy. In my home I was taught that money would make me happy. When my financially fruitful marriage fell apart, I learned that I had been taught to believe in a lie. Money did not make me happy.
I was taught to not believe in my own abilities, which is why I stayed in an emotionally empty marriage for as long as I did. When I was searching my mind for my truth, i unlocked that truth. I was afraid to be alone. When I finally understood where that fear was created, and why, I was able to accept it, and move past it. 8 years later I have overcome that fear and have found a way to provide not only for myself, but for my 3 children. That one fear lead me towards marriage in the first place. That fear kept me unhappy for years until I finally began to understand that my fate was a matter of my minds thought process.
Excavating my psyche allowed me the opportunity to dig into all the dark crevices that existed in me. Fear by fear, I unravelled them all until I was finally free of fear. As fears began to fade, my universal truth emerged. Yes I had been effected by the enormous collective pain of this mortal world, and yes I felt wounded, but underneath it all, I had been born of a divine higher power. For those who persist, the truth becomes our salvation. The only way to reach this place is through the tangled webs of illusions in our minds. It is a rough road, but one so worth traveling.
