What is Truth?

Can one define truth? Does truth exist as opposition to that which is false? When one is in the absolute moment there is no movement of self. The conditioned consciousness is inactive. This inactivity is the outcome of ones awareness of thoughts movement as the separated self. One is in a meditative state that is a stillness of mind that has not sought the ideal of stillness. It is the natural outcome of awareness that is timeless. One may seek truth in systems of belief or in the teachings of another, but that which seeks only finds the projection of self. The ego/self can only define that which is perceived and from that definition formulate a concept. The conceptual is the activity of memory, the cataloguing of experience as what was. Thought attempts to understand the moment by referencing the past, ones catalogue of experience. So one looks at the present moment through the definition of the past. The past provides an escape from the actual truth of the moment. It allows thought to define truth, which means that what was truth has now been subjected to the discriminatory conclusions of the self. Truth becomes an interpretation based ones individual proclivities. One subjects the truth to ones religious political, and cultural bias. One may have the realization that truth cannot be known, it cannot become a part of the conceptual self. Truth is realized indirectly through the negation of the false.

Truth only exist in the absolute moment. So one cannot write the truth down for another to read and understand. One cannot speak the truth, because the moment one speaks, word follows which is definition. Definition is the conceptual, it is the projection of self. One can only realize truth for oneself. That realization is in the moment, when one has negated the illusion of self. When "all" else is not, truth is. It is the negation of all duality, of all opposition. It is the absence of any frame of reference that may imply definition.

If one is at all serious about understanding the true self, and ridding oneself of all conflict and violence then one must undergo a radical transformation. One must face the reality of what one actually is in this very moment. One must timelessly (without self) observe the movement of the accumulated image of self. To see that the self is conflict and violence. It is the position and opposition of the separated of that which is the beginning and the end of life's misery. Can one look beyond ones own prejudiced mind and stay with the truth of the moment. If one can do this for even a few moments each day then one will start to realize ones own truth. One will begin to understand the futility and superficiality of ones present existence. When one looks at another and listens to what they say one will be able to see oneself in each encounter. The relationship of life will mirror the truth and one will find peace in the truth of what is.
