Truth arises when a person looks at themselves, all sorts of things happen when this arises. For most though the distracted mind creates a lie to avoid the truth…
It’s unfortunate, but most people live a life of distracted lies more so than one of truth. They believe they’re living by truth, but upon further investigation this fallacy can be seen. On the outside the lie seems so much better and this is what keeps a person distracted by it; one’s conditioning is what makes it seem better. Truth arises when a person looks at themselves. All sorts of things happen when truth arises. Without this understanding truth is avoided as if it was the plague. Becoming aware of the distracted lies so truth can be revealed is essential in understanding oneself. Sit with the assumption that you will sit in stillness and watch how little stillness there is. Just sit and be with whatever is there, that’s where stillness is. When the mind isn’t looking for anything, it’s still.
Only a distracted mind needs to create a lie, and only with being with the distraction does the mind settle. This doesn’t mean changes aren’t made, but when changes aren’t necessary the mind is settled. This is why to me there’s no positive or negative, because if it’s negative and you want something positive, it’s no different than if you are positive and you don’t want anything negative. A distracted mind is a mind that needs things to be a certain way whether it’s positive or negative. This is the distracted lie, but the truth is nothing needs to be different and the mind will settle when life is accepted without the distraction of positive or negative…
