Truth arises when a person looks inward. All sorts of things happen when there’s inward awareness. When there’s only outward looking, it’s because the mind is agitated and creates a lie to sidestep looking inward…
It’s unfortunate, but most people live a life consumed by lies more than truth. They believe they’re living by truth, but if further investigated this fallacy can be seen. From the outside the lies seem like truth, this is what keeps a person locked in an outward view, but this is only because the Conditioned Mind makes this up. Looking inward makes you look at yourself; all sorts of things arise when this happens. Without this understanding, inward awareness will be avoided as if it was a plague. Becoming inwardly aware of the lies so truth can be revealed is essential in understanding yourself. Sit with the expectation that you will sit in stillness and watch how little stillness there is. Just sit and be with the awareness of whatever’s there, that’s where truth is. When the mind isn’t looking for anything, truth arises.
Lack of awareness causes the mind to create lies. Inward awareness of this lack is when the mind settles. This doesn’t mean you don’t make changes, but when changes aren’t needed that’s when they happen. This is why I don’t share about positive versus negative, because if it’s negative and you want something positive, it’s no different than if you’re positive and you don’t want anything negative. An agitated mind is a mind lacking awareness and wants things to be a certain way whether it’s positive or negative. The lack of awareness is the lie. Truth arises when nothing needs to be different. Your mind will settle when there’s inward awareness of life as it is, this is when the lack of awareness disappears…
