There is an insidious lie that is going on in your head – the lie of imperfection. It takes many forms – unworthiness, lack, inability, inadequacy, distrust, fear…
It goes everywhere you go. It interferes with everything you do. It never releases you from its grip.
‘Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth’ – Marcus Aurelius
You cannot refute a lie by trying to convince yourself of other lies – that you are perfect, that you are good, that you are powerful, that you are capable of anything you set your mind to, that you are desirable, that you are lovable…
Yes, these too are lies. Why?
Because you don’t believe them. That’s the simple reason. Doesn’t matter whether others believe them. As long as you don’t, they are lies to you.
Now,the only way you can refute a lie is with the truth.
So, how do you know the truth? Where do you find it?
Within you.
No, not in your head. That’s full of other lies, stories, myths, dramas, beliefs etc.
It’s in your heart or, as the Buddhist tradition describes it, your mind-heart or wisdom mind. But be clear. It is not SPACE or TIME that separates you from the truth. It is your state of consciousness/awareness/presence.
In fact, the truth is ALWAYS PRESENT but you are hardly ever present to it.
I often smile ruefully when I hear or read prayers that say: May the peace of God be with us, or may God be present with us on this day/occasion/moment…
Folks, God, the Source, Infinite Intelligence, Love, Oneness – call it what you will – is ALWAYS PRESENT. But *WE* are not present to it! We are stuck in our conditioned state of consciousness with all its stories and dramas, its lies and false beliefs.
So, do you want to, once and for all, know the truth? FEEL it? LIVE it? Do you want to know the truth about you, the truth that YOU ARE? To be present to it, to your NATURAL power, possibility, beauty, goodness, wholeness, wellness, kindness and yes, perfection?
Then decide to.
It is ever present. It is always available, And it is EFFORTLESSLY yours.
Practice sitting in truth consciously (meditate), daily. Live from it. Allow it to take you over completely. Only then will you live effortlessly, freely, peacefully, joyously, limitlessly.
‘Dive deep into the chambers of your heart. Find out the real, infinite *I*. Rest there peacefully for ever and become identical with the Supreme Self’ – Ramana Maharshi
