Our Truth · Work in Progress! · The Right for Raw Experience
⁘ “The truth of our present experience — we have a fundamental right for it. None has the right to dictate how I should interpret it — much less deny it. Yes we keep our eyes and ears open for feedback. Our truth, the experience, is a work in progress. Those reflections open new doors of truth into direct experience. This truth only ever changes with the evolution of your perspective. Not by editing and tuning it to better match your or anyone's ideas.”
The only line we ever hold
with the truth of our present experience
is our right for it.
There is no such authority in this world
with the right to dictate to me
how I should interpret my present experience,
much less deny, gaslight me into believing
that I am not experiencing what I am experiencing.
Sure, we always keep our eyes and ears
open for feedback from the world,
from the environment, from friends and other people,
because our truth, the experience, is a work in progress.
Life is messy and we need to be open to feedback.
And of those reflections,
new doors of truth into direct experience may open.
That's all.
This truth of your actuality
and the living experience that follows
only ever changes with the evolution of your perspective.
Not by editing, tweaking and veiling your living experience
to better match ideas born of fears and hopes –
whether born from you or seeded by others.
What need is there to validate,
to prove this truth of yours
unto yourself, or before the world,
by referring to the sayings of others?
Who cares?
Does that change your experience?
