Despite its
infinite potential, is our mind strong enough to create truth?
Take the
matter of pain, for example. If you are experiencing pain, and for some reason
(either a pain reducing medication, hypnosis or natural therapy) your pain
eases out – is the pain gone, or is it still there but you don’t know? And if
you believe the pain is gone, isn’t
that the truth then?
What about
love? Isn’t love a state of mind too? Love can only exist if you believe it
does. But even if you do believe,
does it really? Is the mind creating the truth, or following it?
And what
is the measure of success? Who can weigh it except you yourself? You may reach the
pinnacle of everything you aim for, but if you still feel insecure, are you
really successful?
Time, life,
death, happiness, God, change…do these truths exist, or are they created by us?
Do we believe in them so strongly that they become?
Each of us
is in search of the truth. But even if we find it, will it be real, or
just something we want to believe in?
Is it ever
possible to know what the truth really is? And if it’s us who are creating it,
why are we even searching? Doesn’t a truth with more than one version become a
lie? So do we all want to believe in lies, while we remain insatiable for the truth?
Intense thoughts :) Welcome back and thanks for acceding to the request!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile some choose to gloss over, you are earnestly intrigued by this paradigm. While I have little substantiative to add as 'my' viewpoint, but I would quote J Krishnamurti
"Truth, God or what you will, is not something to be experienced, for the experiencer is the result of time, the result of memory, of the past, and so long as there is the experiencer there cannot be reality. There is reality only when the mind is completely free from the analyser, from the experiencer and the experienced. Then you will find the answer, then you will see that the change comes without your asking, that the state of creative emptiness is not a thing to be cultivated - it is there, it comes darkly, without any invitation; only in that state is there a possibility of renewal, newness, revolution."
Fanfully :)
