No Objective Truth
by Story Waters
There is no such thing as truth beyond the understanding of truth as the idea of itself. Even those that have seen through the illusion of an objective world still tend to hold onto the idea of an ultimate truth; an objectified level of realization that transcends reality. You call yourselves truth seekers and indeed you are. It is, however, important to realize that the truth you seek is purely your own. You seek the states of being that totally resonate with your heart. Realize that this does not make these states ‘The Truth’. At most, they can be said to be your truth in the moment. Know that your personal truth is no more valid than any other person’s truth. Truth is not some Holy Grail that you seek. If you wish to think in such terms, then realize that the Holy Grail is being All That You Are.
To understand what this means is to see that truth is not a ‘state of ideas’; it is a ‘state of being’. Ideas are not being. Ideas do not free people; being free frees people. Ideas can be a huge catalyst for people to enter freer states of being, but the ideas in themselves do not make this happen. So share your ideas and truths, understanding that these do not free people, but that people can use them to free themselves. In the understanding of this distinction, we are freed from the search for an ultimate, mass objective truth. Such a truth cannot exist as it would invalidate free will. To cease to seek it is to find what you are really looking for; the understanding that truth is what you make it. ‘The Truth’ is a concept that at one time served us, but has now come to limit our idea of self.
Remember an idea can be a tool for freedom - but it is not freedom in itself. You are more than your truth; you are a ‘state of being’. Do not worship truth. Do not objectify truth. Realize that, in any moment, truth is no more, or no less, than what you decide it to be. Love truth as you love yourself; as an ever changing, ever evolving, beauteous expression of All That Is.
