When one awakens there’s a shift that opens your heart which allows the truth within to surface. When this occurs where you were once blind you now see…
People think they change when they learn something new, but the essence of what is truly happening is there’s a discovery of what has always been there. It’s not really a change that occurs, it’s a shift from delusional thinking, with the shift being an understanding of the true nature of life starting with your own mind. You cannot know truth if you don’t know yourself, and you cannot know yourself if you don’t know your own mind. This reason why it’s so difficult for the heart to open so you can live differently is because the mind will not settle down without a struggle. It will tell you to do just enough to get by in life as long as it’s pleasurable or it will tell you not to do anything because you’re okay as you are.
Self investigation is not pleasurable especially when it’s first started, that’s why many are hesitant to do it. It’s much easier and pleasurable not to investigate and do what’s familiar, but there are only benefits when an honest self appraisal is done. A step into the unfamiliar will need to be taken so you can get to know the truth of who you are.
The mind defaults naturally to what’s familiar because it’s the conditioning in place. An honest self appraisal allows for truth to be revealed and rise to the surface; this is how truth becomes what‘s familiar. When truth is what’s on the surface what happens is the veil of ignorance is removed and where you were once blind you now see. It’s not a change, it’s a shift that allows truth to be revealed, but you’re only seeing what has always been there…
