Dive deep into reality and ourselves.
What is false and what is true? This a deep philosophical question and is almost unanswerable. This is because this question is very open ended and expansive. If you apply it to a single variable such as yourself we get; what is false and true for you? I could tell you what is true and false in my experience, but that is my perspective. What I want to do is provide you with an opportunity to find your true and your false. This is the purpose of this website as a whole, not providing you with "truth", but guiding you to your own. Realising that which is true for you on the deepest level of your being will provide you with the tools you never knew you had to live the life you want, the way you want.
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." - Buddha When we think of honesty, we think of being honest with others. True honesty cannot start on the outside, in an extremely cliche way, it has to start within. You have to be honest with yourself and you have to accept that honesty. There is no good or bad within, there is just emotion and there is just thoughts. The heart and mind you could say. Practising mindfulness and awareness of your inner world is a powerful tool to help you truly see what you feel and think, without judging it. The acceptance I speak of is simply the idea of letting whatever is there be there, without internally saying it shouldn't or it should. Whatever is going on within you is there and that is that. You need to be brutally honest with yourself why you are feeling a certain way or thinking about something that may be bothering you. For example, you may be feeling offended by some critical feedback from a colleague, friend or partner. Why is this bothering you? Is it because their feedback makes a point? Even if it was overcritical, do they have a point and your ego is offended? That idea you had in your mind of the way things are is threatened and now you are on the defensive. If that's the case, accept that you feel that way because your world view is threatened and move on. Be real with yourself and you will be real with others. You will also be more inclined to accept honesty from others, without going on the defensive. You will appreciate that honesty greatly and you will find that others appreciate it from you. The sooner you are honest with yourself and others, the sooner you will overcome any issue or drawback in your life. The truth always comes to the surface eventually, you cannot hide from it - so accept it now rather than later. "Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water." - Miguel De Cervantes
