Truth?

Truth is a word. A word that attempts to conceptualize reality based on the way we perceive it. The word itself however, is far from truthful. For example, when a child is discovering the world, they often point at objects and ask what they are. Immediately we conceptualize it. We tell them what names of the objects are. Like apple. But an apple is more than just its name. The name only helps refer to an object in reality. A smart child might ask, what IS an apple? A plausible response might be, a fruit, but this also a concept. A category, not truth. You might say what you do with it, what color it is, where it comes from, but our language can never completely conceptualize reality. Language orbits around truth, sucking up shallow and specific observations.

Truth can only be experienced. Truth can never be spoken.  Truth can only be observed, seen, smelled, touched, tasted and heard. If so, why do so many pursue truth? Why do philosophers insist on speaking about truth if it can never be spoken? It is because in the process of finding the silhouette of truth, we liberate our minds. We begin to live healthy, fulfilling, and confident lives that do not give value to things that do not resonate with truth. We become free from our disorders that were caused by our false ideas, beliefs, and concepts.


All concepts of who you are are completely irrelevant. They are irrelevant to the reality and the truth that exists throughout us. They are inadequate concepts, compared to the complete reality for which you exist and experience the universe. They keep you from living in the present moment. The eternal home of truth. The further into the present moment we go, our mind become an invisible world, only there as a tool for creation. The present moment, truth, frees us from our mind. It frees us from our past, and keeps the future at bay.


So in this present moment, find an apple. Become an innocent child. Touch it. Stare at its complexity. Dissect it. Taste it. Smell it. Even listen to it! What you experience is truth. Never settle for an explanation or description of truth. Experience it for yourself.
