true nature of truth

Truth is truth no matter how you look at it.

Truth is not a choice; it is neutral to personal beliefs or emotional choices. Because of our system -indoctrination, most people really can't handle the truth. To learn truths you must be prepared to jump out of an airplane without a parachute. You can't take anything with you that's familiar. That's not searching for truth. That's an insurance policy that you're after. An insurance policy that connects you with the familiar. Truth doesn't work that way. It doesn't come with guarantees that you'll have happy endings in the way that you presume. Most people can not even look at themselves honestly. Part of the reason is that they are a composite of what society has conditioned them to be and the culture that they were born into has conditioned them to be. And the other part is ego in the system is promoted. You can't obtain honesty unless you overcome ego. Know thyself is what was always said and if you use an old Chinese proverb they say that the softest thing water can wear then break the heart of stone. It's a very, very true saying. Patience. The constant knowledge of yourself because you don't want yourself to go off on a tangent to be relayed and you must always look at your own ego because once the ego takes over you lose yourself and you're oblivious to truth.

Not everyone can handle the truth because much of the news is not good news but you have to understand the bad to get beyond it. You have to go through the darkness to see the light. That's always been the way. Always been the way. Those who can only go so far are not ready for it and possibly they never ever will be ready for it. They're more composites than of personality: of their training, their culture, their indoctrinations and their own particular bent of personality type. They're not a truly individual free person and you can't teach everyone ultimate truths. They can't handle it.

Everything we take for granted is not only a lie but a projected lie, a planned lie, a thought lie, a thought out reality in fact. We are molded into our way of thinking. If you look at the original thinking as it happens to feelings and your emotions. As soon as you go into education, original thinking is discouraged and then you're given ready-made thoughts right into your head. It's easy to do with young children; and young children are very curious about the world, very curious. They want to know why things work, why things are the way they are. They want to see it from different points of view. They'll ask questions. You'll think they're annoying you. They're looking at different aspects of the same topic. They want to know for themselves. They want to know truth as well, because if you know truth, it's the safest way to orientate themselves in a strange world. A world that has power in it, which they sense. They're not taken seriously and no matter where this attitude takes them, if it takes the form of a disrespect of the subtle, even condescension, which is usual towards all who have no power, which is young children or older sick people. However, they're taught in school primarily to accept ready-made thoughts, ready-made answers, standardized answers; and that's the key to all of this, standardization.
