Those who don’t understand their lies cannot know truth and therefore remain a slave to the lies. You needn’t have all the answers to know truth, you just need your lies exposed so you’re not enslaved by them…
Fifteen years ago I began developing a practice of quietness because I started understanding the lies of what it was to be a slave to the noise; I say “was” because in truth I am a slave no more. I know the poison of the lies of greed, hate, and delusion and have developed the discipline to not to allow them to control me to some degree. I know how living selfishly and being judgmental caused not only my suffering, but it caused suffering to those around me as well. Because this is known I use tools so I can live differently. If the lies weren’t exposed there wouldn’t be awareness of truth.
The ultimate delusion is by the one who claims to know truth, but doesn’t even understand the lies, this is the place where the majority of people live. It isn’t arrogant to know the truth by understanding and not being controlled by the lies, but it is arrogant to claim to know truth. Many remain enslaved the to lies as it’s stated that there are different versions of truth and no one can know all truth or truth of another. It has been through my experience that I have discovered there aren’t different versions of truth, there are only versions of the lies; a lie is always a lie. When your lies are exposed, you will know truth, and another’s truth can also be known because another’s lies can be known, but this can only be known by knowing your own lies. Remember truth is not about having all the answers, it’s understanding the lies. The lies the world presents are the gateway to truth because they are the gateway of seeing the lies of greed, hate, and delusion, so it is possible to know truth, but only when the lies are exposed…
