The Nature of Your “My Truth” · Beyond Subjective Framings
⁘ “"I will always speak my truth." We hear this a lot. It typically has very little to do with truth actual. We're at the intersection of conviction, delusion and self-absorption. An idea born of your fears and your hopes for framing your life. So yes, that's your subjective truth. The only real truth there ever is — for any one of us — is the truth of our present living experience. Raw and unfiltered — as it is.”
What about "your truth"?
"I will always speak my truth."
We hear this a lot.
"Brother, you should speak your truth!"
The fact is, this typically has
very little to do with truth actual.
Instead, we are at the intersection of
conviction, delusion and self-absorption.
You've landed with a particular idea,
woven together with the pushings and pullings
of your fears and your hopes,
that gives you a frame that
you deem desirable for your life.
So yes, that is your subjective truth,
but it's not something you need to
be shouting from the rooftops,
trying to convince others of
the validity of your truth.
The only truth in there is
the truth of your fears and hopes,
weaving the lenses through which you look at life.
That truth is for you, my friend,
to acknowledge, to reflect on,
to inquire into its origins,
to seek ways of unraveling
the conditions you have asserted.
The only real truth there ever is, for any one of us,
is the truth of our present living experience.
Then whatever direct insight,
whatever raw emotions arise
from this unfiltered present experience –
there is your actual truth.
