Truth is Everywhere

Dear Reader;

"Look you to history
Look you to every memory 
of the waves of change
and what you will find 
is when the forces of the waters rise 
all manner of life once hidden beneath
is cast upon the shores
never one
never two
but many

So it is with human turbulence
We may choose to walk one way
or we may choose to walk another
but never will we walk alone
no matter how much we think
we prefer it
no matter how much we fear
being exposed

Some will find themselves falling in
with the fighters 
to toss and turn and rage
in response to all 
they have not wanted
to see

Some will fall 
with the doers
the fixers and the savers
busying themselves with tasks
so as not to feel

Some will fall
with the hopeless
and the afraid
joining together in distractions
of false revelry
or consumption

Some will try very hard
not to see the rising waves at all
to cling to the old
as if there were something 
to hold onto
even as 
they are washed
into the sea

And some
will feel all of it
the fear 
the desire to save
to fight back
but they will choose another way
which is to rise.."

I used to think of truth as vertical. Mistruths, half truths and untruths layered on top, and once peeled back, giving way finally to the real truth, the absolute truth, the central Truth at last. I used to think it was necessary to call out, to oppose, to discard.

But this isn’t how it works at all.

Truth lives instead within a horizontal view, an experiential expansion into rising awareness. Instead of a hierarchy of insight, truth becomes the altered state of discovery we stumble upon when we dissolve inward. We do not deny anything, but rather awaken to the essential truth in everything. We become a deeper part of all existence and by melting into it, all measurements of separation or merit disappear.

Once we reveal a small corner of recognition, this is all it takes. We start to peel away our resistance to it and suddenly it is everywhere as we reshape our perceptions of being. No part of our world is left untouched. It turns out that nothing is devoid of truth, in fact, a true essence lives in some kind of expression within everything.

The state, the beingness of truth has always been and will always be. All of it, the messes and the horrors, the mysteries and confusions, the lies and the deceit. Suddenly, Truth is everywhere.

By our own dissolving, nothing can escape, as we become whole.

And dear reader, in case you are coming across this post without knowing me, this is exactly what I do when I offer a reading. I assist individuals to expand their perceptions, to allow what was once difficult to see, and to feel what they have not allowed themselves to feel. In this energetic experience they are awakened into the non-linear, the illogical, the unfamiliar. The mind will try to reason its way out, but ultimately the soul will make a choice, and quite possibly surprise us in the end. This is the path to freedom.

Our first Tuesday night call is coming up for the Kokoro Circle, our evolving community of truth lovers, every soul present having made a commitment to look a new, visceral awareness in the eye.

Remembering that our primary responsibility in these times is to our own state, if you are one of the ones who has chosen to rise, please consider joining us. You will be in very sweet, very truth-full company.
